this post gave me a couple rounds of whiplash but this was the hardest turn on the rollercoaster:
when they tried to summarize the findings of growth mindset and quickly dismissing it without couching in the ongoing reproducibility issue in psychology
do you people come off a factory line like this?
you know, here in ZA (and across Africa) services got past the “your phone number is your security layer” thing in the early 10s because we had fraud and related issues way back
but no, the US is insistent that they have to retread that path and learn those lessons over. can’t go and learn from an african country, that wouldn’t be fitting of ~~an imperial hellhole~~ A First World Country
why no, I’m not salty about services making me have worse security settings at all, why do you ask…
ah, we're here once again
these fucking ghouls
this post reads like an amazon product review
do you mean Tay? that was a touch pre-current-LLM, but it was demonstrative nonetheless
edit: to the absolute human shitstain that downvoted this
ugh. don't do that :<
have the balls to reply why.
this isn't highschool, no-one owes you homework
(a bit of advice: instead treat that as a reason to reflect as to why. you might learn something)
what continues to be absolutely fucking hilarious about this is that this sort of thing already fucking exists in mainland china, in the form of a boxshop you walk into where everything is tagged with RFID stickers. slap the basket into location, pay with phone, leave. and it exists based on 2010+ technology, that's fairly reliable.
(minor note: I haven't seen this in person but I've seen coverage of it, and I've worked with all the actual constituent technologies so I'm quite aware of how real this is and how well it can work, barring all the fuzzy in-practice biz-rule shit that inevitably has to be handled and solved (such as all real-world systems))
None of this please
Look it’s a really cheap and fast way of going from potential lawsuit to actual damages! That’s progress, that is!
[ed note: since I can’t markup-joke it in a way that survives lemmy: to be read in pratchett voice)
no lies detected
and that’s the pernicious bit: it’s not just their skillset, it also goes right to their fucking respect for their team. “I don’t care about just barfing some shit into the codebase, and I don’t think my team will mind either!”
utter goddamn clownery
