  • Sure, but how does that make anyone money? You saved time not reading, and your time is worth money sure, but not the untold amounts of money and infrastructure that AI has cost. Your place of work still has an angry client, and you still have the same issues with the rep but now with a risk of the LLM hallucinating something in the summery. Lets say you fire the rep for what was in the summery and it turns out they did not do whatever was said and you have a lawsuit (and I would hope some loss of sleep)? I think generative AI peaked at things without stakes like “Harry Squatter and the Chamber of Gains” and has just been a solution looking for a problem even since.

    More to the point this was always going to end this way without a path to profit (I know a terrible term) OpenAI alone is losing something like $12 Billion a quarter, and although maybe ads will help their bottom line it will also make that final step into the sort of hell no one wants.









  • Oh the rural people in Alberta also think this is stupid. Just the same people who are pushing this are the same small few that did parades about how the WHO and UN are controlling us though poisoned water, then the covid convoy, then the “Albertan” Republican party and now this. Its a bunch of useful idiots that are very clearly now getting us funding.

    The best part is that this plebiscite was started by a group that wants to stay in Canada and knew this would be taken up by these wackados. The question is does Alberta want to stay in Canada, and the legal result should put an end to this separatist nonsense. (I mean come on we are at least 1000km to the nearest ocean, maybe if the idea was BC and Alberta sure but even then the treaties kinda stop this)








  • Credit where it is due.

    And to your point people did care when other nations were getting bombed, but most of them have been part of long on going situations that make black and white views difficult. The rest of the world has had the same reaction you are having now when people where bombed in almost every area of the globe, in this case though you have the whole thing happen very very quickly and with almost no rational reason. This time is only different in the lack of pretending.

    But the world did time and time again deeply care when the us military killed people. It is a key reason the us reputation is less then stellar and why us tourists often put other English speaking flags on their bags.
