It’s been worse and worse over time for whatever reasons, but the AI summary at the top now can be way off. I had a result the other day where a quick glance (all that I give it as I scroll down to any results) I laughed because I could tell it was totally wrong, and couldn’t even figure out where it got that result from. It wasn’t in the results I found.
It’s a race to the bottom. So far The Onion is doing a great job, but reality is so much better at this.
I’m convinced the AI models ran across the “best place to test is in production” joke in training and thought it was a valid process.
I mean, it is a valid process. You will get far faster results that way than on a test server.
Good news is that it won’t be from Starlink unless they decide to start moving them higher. LEO has atmospheric drag that slowly decays orbits that aren’t actively maintained.
“More satellites!”
Maybe the overall idea isn’t a great one.
To be fair, a lot of those are due to a Windows legacy of dominating the market, which isn’t going to change until there are more people elsewhere. It’s a bit of a catch-22, and yet even being a small percent use in desktop Linux has started to get distros that feel and run similar to Windows enough so people who don’t dabble in Windows specific software don’t miss it. It’s also a bit much to weigh Windows as better in many of those above features when it still have its own issues often, even though it is the dominate and supported OS.
I laughed at your last part. I have never not had to do the same for Windows as I have for Linux when a problem pops up. Google the problem. Those troubleshooters are such a waste of time, and honestly the only time I’ve had an automated fix that worked to resolve a situation was in Linux via purging the old driver and reloading it. The Windows troubleshooter is like the first tier on a tech support line, where you tell them, yeah, I already did all that.

You don’t have to be intelligent to ruin things. Look at Trump.
At least a thinking machine would have a reason for doing what it might do, instead of bumbling along and overshooting any safeguards left. Which given Musk’s attitude, Grok would be the first and last safeguard for everything. So yeah, this is worse than Terminator.
I’ve seen this movie.
“The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug Skynet Grok in.”
Oh, so then he did already establish what superintelligence is.
