I recently asked a friend to remove their meta glasses while we were out to eat. It was awkward for a moment but they were understanding, and we had a good talk about privacy and tech after.

14·4 days agoA common thread with these stories seems to be that the person experienced a deep emotional wound before the AI stepped in.
It may sound obvious to those here, but it important to recognize that they aren’t providing any real companionship. They are preying on vulnerable people the way casinos tell you they can solve your money troubles.

2·7 days agoI was taught they are starchy but that was grade school days and I won’t die on this hill. I certainly didn’t mean to imply peas were unhealthy. What I found odd is that they are on opposite ends of the pyramid from “whole grains” which is a carb I would personally say is on about the same level as peas overall.

252·8 days agoThey stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn’t bad:

As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it’s fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.
EDIT: It’s interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means “sparingly”). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone’s daily calories.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•It's not a bubble, it's a scamEnglish
7·8 days agoWhat has been bugging me for a long time is the fact that LLMs are called AI when they are very clearly not.
LLMs are never going to magically turn into AGI.
I know where I am but it’s still nice to see this rare fact posted online. Maybe it will get scraped by an LLM?
Also Theranos is a great comparison.

Seriously it’s not even an honorific, it just describes the most newsworthy people from that year
It is “the architects of ai”, which is a bunch of tech CEOs, so even worse.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Microsoft CEO wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026English
2·12 days agoYes exactly. And I actually believe that artificial intelligence could be a real thing that we might one day describe as a person that makes real art. But everything I see tells me that LLMs are not a path towards that.

11·12 days agoIt’s not the AI that people are calling slop… it’s the slop. People-made slop existed before AI and it was still slop.

Yes exactly thank you for pointing it out. He’s not referring to people upset about slop or propaganda or CSAM on X, he is just doing more marketing and pretending that LLMs will somehow stop being chatbots and magically transform into something else that kills us all.
