But like…that requires work. The whole point of an AI band is to not do any work.

This is a spray and pray approach. Generate 200 songs. Hope one gets popular, make money off that from Spotify. Move on. Switch genres.

I got enough keys on my keyboard

Stop trying to make þorn happen.

Huh? They make computers. What are you talking about?

So the output from the LLM is just a text description that’s fed into another, smarter piece of software that interprets that text into an order? What task is the LLM actually doing in this case?

Can someone who understands this better explain to me how this thing actually places the order into whatever POS they use? Like if LLMs are just advanced auto-complete, I get how they can do “fuzzy” tasks like answering questions or carrying on a conversation, but how do they do rigid tasks like entering the tacos into whatever system the cash register and kitchen use?

Living in a city, I can kind of get it. The number of people who simply walk in front of my bike because they’re absorbed in their phone has made my commute stressful. I ended up installing a car horn on my bike which I’m sure makes their commute more stressful.

Perhaps the Walkman was the first time technology isolated people from the world around them.

Or I dunno, books.

Honestly, if they just made it easier to craft a formula (like, I dunno multiple lines, some kind of better color coding of matched parentheses, etc), that’d go a lot farther.

Okay This is after 5 minutes of Googling. There are a few cheaper options out there.

Get a used iPod. Load it with RythmBox, swap the hard drive for a few hundred gigs of SD cards and you’re golden.

If anything, a smaller market share is better for business. The more users they have the faster they lose money.

The usual business plan is to reinvest all earnings into growth. So you’re losing money, but gaining market share. Tesla, Amazon, etc all did this. They could stop at any point and turn a profit, but they chose to pursue a growth instead.

AI companies are currently not making enough revenue to even cover their operating costs. Even so, they are pouring all of their money into more video cards that, once installed and configured, immediately start losing money.

I personally vote for CEOs publicly embarrassing themselves in more and more degrading ways.

Codeberg apparently

I’m curious about this as well. I think all the components are available, but nobody’s clicked them together yet.

This is like a reverse Goldfinger plan. Could have an interesting impact on the gold market if it can be done at scale.

I’m sure most gold mining operations take at least a few years to get permitted and started and then there’s risk that you won’t find as much gold as expected.

Compared to a lump of gold that all you have to do is not lose it and it will appreciate in value all on its own.

At least the Space Race gave us Velcro and Tang.

beyond trivial issues

I’d argue that 10-15% of issues are trivial issues and are worth investigating even without a schematic if the alternative is just throwing something away.
