JD is gonna merc him, blame Iran, and produce “instructions” that he claims are from trump telling everyone to love JD and vote for him without question.

Sovereign citizens.

But for passengers is the big overreach, and likely unconstitutional

Then you disagree with both the article, the survey it references, and reality…

As usage-based pricing models become more common, many organizations are still building the capabilities required to forecast, monitor, and manage AI spending effectively,” the report authors write. Translation: one third of execs had no plan for how to actually use AI productively, a fact which is becoming increasingly clear now that the meter is running.

The finding underscores what many workers forced to use AI tools on the job have come to suspect: that an alarming number of corporate leaders treat AI as a plug-and-play solution for lowering overheard without understanding the how of it all, a kind of magical thinking entirely divorced from practical reality.

They drove adoption with flat fees, pay $X and get all you can slop for a month

Now it’s token based, that kid you hired to be good at computers now eats $1k a day on AI to produce work a human needs to redo anyways.

It was treated as a flat monthly expense which made it cheaper than humans.

So companies pivoted to AI and fired humans.

Now they charge by usage and AI is more expensive than humans.

How the actual fuck do you not think that’s happened yet?

He’s #1 target among his own voters too…

Gee…

Who would have guessed that the techbros would start charging a shit ton more money once they had captured market share…

I’m honestly surprised how long it took, I figured the second companies fired humans for AI, they’d jack up the rates

I wonder if trump just spilt the beans a week early…

If they were just late and no one told him…

Or if he really fell for AI slop and to make him happy they scrambled and paid someone that owns 25 gas stations to rebrand after the fact to make it look like it was always real

What’s dumber than CEOs making these predictions, is people thinking the CEO actually believes it’s possible.

They’re just saying what share holders want to hear, that’s all this is.

Yeah. But the Australian army already proved that guns aren’t as effective as attack emus, so why would any Aussie have a gun instead of a pack of Emus?

There’s a nonzero chance this is because the Iranian team talked shit they did better against Belgium…

I’m sorry most people don’t need to pay an AI to tell them when a picture is AI, I’m sure that would be very frustrating

That gives different pictures everytime it’s loaded…

You want me to say “the left one is ai”? It won’t be the same pictures you looked at buddy…

And that’s not even getting into how you linked to a “service” that uses AI to detect AI…

Like, obviously they’re gonna make it sound impossible, they’re trying to sell AI to idiots

You can’t tell,

No, I’m saying I can tell…

And I’m saying that not everyone can, because I understand human variation…

You are saying that you can’t tell, and you are saying that no one else can tell because people can only do things you can do…

And I was really bad. Nowadays I don’t have a chance.

I mean, you might just not be good at it, and this is like asking how to be 7 feet tall so you can play in the NBA.

That’s how variation works, there’s likely other aspects you’re good at and others aren’t.

Like I said in another comment tho, it’s not like you can learn what to look for, because the things you’re conciously looking for are the same things the people making it are aware of.

The only way to come close to “learning” is to just look at a shit ton of AI pictures while reminding yourself over and over “this is AI”. Like, for a while, maybe 30-60 minutes at a time. Do the same thing for real pictures but repeating “this is real” as an internal monologue.

You’re just hammering a label unto your various subconscious processes until they start shoving everything into that binary label system. Either “ai” or “real”.

But again, human variation. There’s other reasons to jog than beating Usain Bolts 100m dash time, you might not ever be great at it, you might not even see much improvement.

But doing that enough would eventually make you better at picking up all the little signs that others are noticing. It’s exploiting how our minds work and want to see patterns.

Well, now I just think there’s two things you don’t understand…

You can’t tell

That doesn’t mean no one else can.

The vast majority of people can’t tell a male chick from a female chick, which is super important for egg farmers.

But, some people can.

And even tho they can’t explain how they can tell, we know they can tell, because chicks grow up into hens and roosters. And they can tell almost instantly

Stop thinking everyone is exactly like you, no one is like anyone else, we’re all snowflakes with innumerable avenues of variation.

Because people who pick out forgeries explain how they could tell…

And forgers paid attention to those things.

Same with AI, people going on about six fingers means we can’t just count fingers anymore.

Anything quantifiable, will be what the slop experts focus on fixing.

We’re just gonna be left with the ineffable, a collection of a whole bunch of small signs were not consciously aware of and even if we try to describe we’re just coming up with post fact rationalizations.

Like, if you showed me an AI pic right now, I’m fully confident I could tell

But if you asked me to explain how, I’d just be making shit up like an AI would. I might say real signs that I consciously noticed, but anyone walking around with a checklist will at best gain a temporary ability that the slop will out pace.

It’s gotta be “gut feeling”. But because most people don’t understand what those actually are, they refuse to trust it. But I bet they won’t ignore a reaction to duck if someone throws a wrench at their face.

It’s the same thing, your mind/body deciding something without going thru the hassle of your conscious brain. It’s a bandwidth thing, you don’t need to “see the math” because that would take too long. You just gotta trust the flashing red light that says “this isn’t real”.

Are you asking me how to trust your gut?

Or are you saying your subconscious is bad at recognizing patterns?

Or that you’re not in touch with yourself in general?

I’m willing to help, I just can’t tell what you need help with bro

It’s still weird people don’t just use spider tingles…

We’re pattern recognition machines and we don’t need to conciously be aware of all the signs of AI.

It would be like trying to teach an adult how to ride a bike by telling them what muscles to constrict in what order.

With enough time and effort it might work, but it’s the worst way to learn how to ride a bike and anyone that learns and only rides a bike that way is gonna fucking suck compared to someone who offloaded the specifics to their unconscious mind and just gives general commands like “turn left”.

Tldr:

You can tell when it’s AI, because of the way it is.

Trying to get nity gritty and pick out specifics isn’t sustainable long term. The only downside is false negatives from everyone needlessly upscaling pictures, but those would happen no matter what.

The results also coincide with the explosion of large language models like ChatGPT, which by many accounts have carved out a new floor for academic failure in both K-12 and college-level education.

It’s not just that…

But chatbots was the equivalent of turning coke into crack. It made academic dishonesty very accessible, and overworked teachers weren’t equipped to deal with it.

Airbnb the crib like a hostel…

Summertime cheaper cuz the streets get hostile…

People get violent when it’s hot out, and climate change means it stays hot out. Gun violence isn’t a problem with a single cause, there’s a lot of shit going on causing this. But theres one reason the violence always peaks in July/August. Compared to December/January
