"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

yeah, but the problem is that the world isn't made for people who can use rubber ducks, magic 8 balls, wikipedia and good notes apps.

the world is made for the people that need the obnoxious laugh track and a person reacting to an Instagram reel, otherwise they don't know how to feel.

That's why before any job interview I put a bluetooth speaker in my pocket. Then when I'm about to walk into the room where I'm being interviewed I play a sound file. 5 seconds of silence, followed by a studio audience reaction of when the hot person enters the room.

You know the one.

Hot person enters through the doorway, says 1 sentence, and pauses because the audience is about to lose their shit going WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 3 seconds. Then the actor says the line again, and continues with more that the one sentence.

So as I'm opening the door, I hit play, walk through the door.

"Hi, I'm here for the interview.......WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hi, I'm here for the interview. Here's my resume."

"What was that?"

"Oh, that was just the studio audience reacting to the arrival of the main character in your story."

So far it hasn't worked. But I still get the ego boost!

I wonder if Darth Vader had his theme music playing under his cloak as he walked around the death star.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

If he doesn't, he could always start. He has changed the deal. Pray that he doesn't change it further.

Because when darth vader brings princess leia on the deathstar, she looks around. What does she see? Nothing but open space. There's nowhere for her to run. What's she gonna do? Say no?

I was interested in this really hot chick, but what ground me down and made me lose interest was that she would not stop sending me these videos... Top 50% of the video somebody would be telling a conspicuously fake "funny" story, on the bottom half of the video was the SAME person but pretending to gut-laugh on a 3 second loop. Omfg.... She was an 11 out of 10 but I just couldn't take it. I cannot pretend I find these things funny.

I believe this is why they invented pump and dump schemes

I was okay with ignoring and replying LOL to them all

But what I was not okay with was the alleged humor content repeatedly later coming up in personal conversation

She would reference something from some reel that had critical impact on her, and it would go over my head because of course I had not watched it. "But you replied LOL" 😮‍💨
