Did you outsource your reading comprehension to ChatGPT, too?

What’s the plan for when everyone runs out of food in a couple weeks? Mass looting of grocery stores?

A general strike without planning will just kill people, because most people don’t have the resources to get by for very long.

By that logic digital media can’t exist because the data has to be stored on something physical eventually.

AI slop makes this a shit post, not a shitpost.

I mean, as a branding exercise, every form of sophisticated automation is getting the “AI” label.

The article is specifically talking about generative AI. I think we need to find new terminology to describe the kind of automation that was colloquially referred to as AI before chatgpt et al. came into existence.

The important distinction, I think, is that these things are still purpose-built and (mostly) explainable. When you have a bunch of nails, you design a hammer. An “AI bot” QA tester the way Booty describes in the article isn’t going to be an advanced algorithm that carries out specific tests. That exists already and has for years. He’s asking for something that will figure out specific tests that are worth doing when given a vague or nonexistent test plan, most likely. You need a human, or an actual AGI, for something on that level, not generative AI.

And explicitly with generative AI, as pertains to Square Enix’s initiative in the article, there are the typical huge risks of verifiability and hallucination. However unpleasant you may think a QA worker’s job is now, I guarantee you it will be even more unpleasant when the job consists of fact-checking AI bug reports all day instead of actually doing the testing.

There’s plenty of room for sophisticated automation without any need to involve AI.

Probably need to tweak the settings on whatever display you’re using, or potentially consider investing in a more-modern type of panel depending on what you have now.

Hi, I am that nerd, it’s Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open taskmgr, actually.

…I hope to be able to develop a similar level of nerd when I switch to Linux soon

If a hacker can get into the device remotely it can be an entry point to your home network.

The much bigger concern is that the pathway used to send the remote kill command could very easily be utilized by nefarious actors.

More like slaughtering a perfectly healthy horse when all it needs is new horseshoes.

Yep, that’s the brainwashing!
