El0n literally modded his AI chatbot to be a flatterbot to him specifically

[Winehole23]

then he went on Joe Rogan and bragged how Grok can tell funny jokes for you at parties

AI-assisted ideological streamlining of science -- under the DOE

The Genesis Mission will build an integrated AI platform to harness Federal scientific datasets — the world’s largest collection ... — to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents to test new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs

(by presidential decree of course, it's not a law or anything)

one wonders how much of AI is just human drudges impersonating AI or at least, cleaning up and fine-tuning it

David Sacks also screamed for the SVB bailout

Tell us how you use AI in your daily life aside from meme generation and slightly more indepth searches that may or may not be accurate.

You think AI is just a chatbox

You can't stop the future old man

You didn't answer the question.

Do you need to consult with AI to not sound stupid?

Just let us know your personal use of AI and what you are willing to pay to keep doing it.

You guys up for some breakfast at Dennys?

All you're doing is emphasizing the point I made that you think AI is just a chatbox. Even on that argument you fail unless you can tell me how much you personally spent to use google.

but to address your question, I have no need to pay for a chatbox. My wife pays $600/month for DAX Copilot, it replaced an employee saving her about $28k/yr for the last 3 years. Next year she'll upgrade to Dragon Copilot which is half the cost. My BIL uses Gemini (I think) for code generation, don't know the price as the company pays for it.

You and whinehole remind me of Paul Krugman's infamous prediction “By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

Can't stop the future old man

Do you think google never made any money because they didn't personally charge you to use their search?

Oh right, because $600 per month DAX copilot is the wave of the future for Joe Plumber

Plumbers won't be replaced silly

[SnakeBoy]

You guys are really scared

Plumbers won't be replaced silly

You guys are really scared

You missed the point again

I follow Simon Willison on Bluesky, I'm not a doubter there are discrete technical applications of "AI" and that there will be even more

I just think you're overhyping it

as mentioned before, you're overhyping it.

I always knew the internet was going to be a game changer. Don't be as stupid as AI makes you out to be.

And you don't use it at all.
