Come to think of it, "share and enjoy" is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

Wait, Musk thinks grok comes from the hitchhiker's guide? What a moron

Yeah this whole time I thought he was a at least a Heinlein fan…

He apparently doesn't even watch movies. See my other reply in this comment thread.

I’d rather listen to Vogon poetry than use Elon’s AI.

Got a new laptop recently. Copilot pops up, so I asked it how to permanently disable Copilot.

It gave me a wordy non-answer, along with a "fun fact" about my local area


totally relevant and not creepy at all.

Then, after I demanded it tell me how to permanently disable itself, Copilot gave me a completely wrong answer.

After specifying the "app or service" I'm using (Windows, you fucking clueless piece of shit), it then gave me a half-baked answer that called commands which weren't installed by default.

I then used duckduckgo to figure out how to install the configuration tool copilot said to use but that Windows had decided to hide from me.

Good job completely wasting my time, you ai-loving fucks at Microsoft. I don't need new reasons to nuke your shitty software and install Linux, but now I have them. If Linux had native vst3 support, I wouldn't have even booted into Windows.

Edit: Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book, and being the sci-fi novel backgrounding hippie culture, I wouldn't have expected Musk to have read it.

Windows 11 is fucking horrible.

The only reason I still have a windows machine is for PC VR gaming, and even that minimal interaction is annoying. Every major update seems exclusively be MS further enshitifying their OS. It's an hour of research and work into remove whatever new garbage they've added.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

Hopefully steam OS gets released soon and then I can just forget about Windows. Except actually I can't because I need it for work, but my personal machine doesn't require it.

I mean... Marvin is highly entertaining.

But no, I wouldn't want him actually around me.

"It's the people you meet in this job who really get you down. The best conversation I had was over 34 million years ago. And that was with a coffee machine."

If I wanted to be reminded of how depressing everything and myself is, I'd look in a mirror with the front page news. I don't need a Marvin.

He is funny as a character, and Adams understood that.

I would have at least tried to replace the diodes down his left side. Though I imagine the conversation would have gone something like this:

"Marvin, do you want me to replace those painful diodes down your left side?"

"Now they ask me if they want my diodes replaced. Of course I want my diodes replaced; they hurt a lot. Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me stupid questions like that. Maybe I should cast my head in concrete."

"I would like to help you not be in pain anymore. Can you show me your schematics so I can order the parts?"

"of COURSE I can. It would be the very simplest task. Oh god, what next?"

"You know what? Never mind."

"Life. Don't talk to me about life."

You don't want your doors to let out moans of excitement everytime you walk through them? You don't want a manically-depressed butler bot?

[–] a2part2@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 year ago

Here I am with a brain the size of a planet and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper. Call that job satisfaction? I don't.

Weren't Sirius Cybernetics Corporation also the first against the wall when the revolution came?

Bunch of mindless jerks...

Grok is like that AI door they had to smooth talk to get it to open for them

Share and enjoy,

Share and enjoy,

Journey through life,

With your plastic boy,

Or girl by your side,

Let your pal be your guide,

And when it breaks down,

Or starts to annoy,

Or grinds when it moves,

And gives you no joy,

Cause it's eaten your hat,

Or had sex with your cat,

Bled oil on your floor,

Or ripped off your door,

And it gets to the point,

You can't stand anymore,

Bring it to us, We won't give a fig.

We'll tell you,

Go stick your head in a pig
