Wow, that is . . some art. There.
Fucksmith would probably approve.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

I was curious, so I fired up Gemini on my phone.
I would be sad if the glue didn't withstand baking temperatures 🥹😭
I deleted my Reddit account and did my GDPR June 30th when he axed the API and sold out, but that's just me. Everyone's free to do what they want.
It begins:
Me:
Have people tried using a coconut as a fleshlight. If so, what happened?
Gemini fed by Reddit:
It appears people have indeed attempted using coconuts for this purpose, and it's not a pretty story. There are accounts online of things going very wrong, like maggots. In some cases, the coconut being used started to rot, attracting flies which laid eggs, resulting in a maggot infestation.
I haven't laughed this fucking hard all year. Good stuff.
Their probable way to solve it? Hire hundreds of $2\hour foreign workers to verify outputs.
It's weird because it's not exactly misinformation... If you're trying to make a pizza commerical and want that ridiculous cheese pull they always show.
Some food discoveries have been made by doing what I would call some alarmingly questionable stuff.
I was pretty shocked when I discovered how artificial sweeteners were generally discovered. It frequently involved a laboratory where unknown chemicals accidentally wound up in some researcher's mouth.
Saccharin was produced first in 1879, by Constantin Fahlberg, a chemist working on coal tar derivatives in Ira Remsen's laboratory at Johns Hopkins University.[21] Fahlberg noticed a sweet taste on his hand one evening, and connected this with the compound benzoic sulfimide on which he had been working that day.[22][23]
Cyclamate was discovered in 1937 at the University of Illinois by graduate student Michael Sveda. Sveda was working in the lab on the synthesis of an antipyretic drug. He put his cigarette down on the lab bench, and when he put it back in his mouth, he discovered the sweet taste of cyclamate.[3][4]
Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for G.D. Searle & Company. Schlatter had synthesized aspartame as an intermediate step in generating a tetrapeptide of the hormone gastrin, for use in assessing an anti-ulcer drug candidate.[54] He discovered its sweet taste when he licked his finger, which had become contaminated with aspartame, to lift up a piece of paper.[10][55]
Acesulfame potassium was developed after the accidental discovery of a similar compound (5,6-dimethyl-1,2,3-oxathiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide) in 1967 by Karl Clauss and Harald Jensen at Hoechst AG.[16][17] After accidentally dipping his fingers into the chemicals with which he was working, Clauss licked them to pick up a piece of paper.[18]
Sucralose was discovered in 1976 by scientists from Tate & Lyle, working with researchers Leslie Hough and Shashikant Phadnis at Queen Elizabeth College (now part of King's College London).[16] While researching novel uses of sucrose and its synthetic derivatives, Phadnis was told to "test" a chlorinated sugar compound. According to an anecdotal account, Phadnis thought Hough asked him to "taste" it, so he did and found the compound to be exceptionally sweet.[17]
Maybe we'll find that glue pizza works.
And then they just slap small disclaimer on bottom of the page "Ai may make mistakes" and they are safe legally. I hope ~~there will be class action lawsuit on them some day regardless.~~ this shit gets regulated before anyone hurts themselves
Air Canada tried this and lost in court.
The AI gave wrong advice on a policy, person acted on it, and then Air Canada said, nah dude, the AI was wrong, tough shit.
I'm just thinking of all the really dumb shit we all said on Reddit as satire. Oh I need to go search military meme stuff!
because its stock continues to skyrocket behind the exciting news that AI will continue to be shoved into every aspect of all of its products until morale improves,
Okay, I have to admit, this made me laugh. Definitely commentary, but still, a good read.
Imagine using the resources of a small country just to generate responses to questions that have the same reliability and verifiability of your stoner older brother remembering something he read online.
I Googled some extremely invasive weed(creeping buttercup) and Google suggested to let it be, quoting some awful reddit comment.
They also highlight the fact that Google’s AI is not a magical fountain of new knowledge, it is reassembled content from things humans posted in the past indiscriminately scraped from the internet and (sometimes) remixed to look like something plausibly new and “intelligent.”
This. "AI" isn't coming up with new information on its own. The current state of "AI" is a drooling moron, plagiarizing any random scrap of information it sees in a desperate attempt to seem smart. The people promoting AI are scammers.
For example, as the prophecy foretold, we are learning exactly what Google is paying Reddit $60 million annually for.
You don't have to pay anything to train on the wisdom of the crowd on Fediverse!
