  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Saying 'my agents' would have sounded sick 10 years ago. Now it just sounds lame.

I don't even understand what they get their agents to do I genuinely can't come up with a use for AI either in my professional or personal life.

Are occasionally come up with ideas but usually realized that they could be more effectively implemented with python and a con job.

I suppose I could do the classic thing and set the agents the task of making me some money but I'm always worried it's going to do something insanely stupid and I end up with a news article about me. You know like the AI that hacked a gym to boot people off of a class.

Not defending the obsession with corpo-chatbots. But a lot of the development is coming purely from hobbyists doing it because it's fun to experiment with new technology.

And there have been developments using branches of the tech to do surprising things, such as using genomic sequences instead of normal human language. Still an LLM, but instead of doing auto-correct/auto-complete responses in English, it fills in genomic sequences.

I have known people who can't tell what OS they use at work. Not version, but the actual OS. Any little help feels like a miracle to them.
