Also, even the article mentioned this, but Amazon has always done this. For example, engineers can volunteer to help out wrapping presents at Christmastime.

An engineer can barely do these jobs properly and they aren’t used to manual labor, so they work fewer hours than normal. And yes, it replaces their normal work.

And, these white collar workers are many times more expensive than normal warehouse workers. This only makes any financial sense because they are desperate for extremely short time workers during rush times.

This article isn’t really news. Just rage bait.

OP is talking about booking flights where you can choose between nonstop or layovers. If it’s not possible to get a nonstop, then it’s just as bad for comparison as if it’s not possible to get a layover.

Same thing happened with companies that used outsourcing expecting it to be a magic bullet.

Yeah, we need more info to understand the results of this experiment.

We need to know what exactly were these tasks that they claim were validated by experts. Because like you’re saying, the tasks I saw were not what I was expecting.

We need to know how the LLMs were set up. If you tell it to act like a chat bot and then you give it a task, it will have poorer results than if you set it up specifically to perform these sorts of tasks.

We need to see the actual prompts given to the LLMs. It may be that you simply need an expert to write prompts in order to get much better results. While that would be disappointing today, it’s not all that different from how people needed to learn to use search engines.

We need to see the failure rate of humans performing the same tasks.

There are plenty of body weight exercises like squats and lunges that can strengthen the back. I think more than weights, people simply don’t like to do targeted exercises.

Just in case anybody has doubts, I gave an unserious answer to an unserious question. It was mostly just a turn of phrase.

I believe that violence should basically only be used to stop violence.

Those that voted for those that voted for it.

There are different things we’re calling AI. One is engaging in endeavors that are traditionally seen as creative, like text or image generation.

The AI we are talking about for this story is a text to speech engine that creates a believable voice. The voice parameters may be created by a human or AI or whatever. But that creation of the parameters of a voice is not the type of AI that we are talking about in this story.

This is stealing her voice. It’s just plain wrong.

What I really don’t understand is, even if you think AI voice is okay, why not just make an original voice? Why you got to steal somebody’s voice? Or if you don’t want to do that, why not just get consent for the specific thing you’re doing? Don’t take advantage of the fact that she previously recorded her voice as an aid for the blind and steal her voice because of some small text in a contract. That’s dishonest and pathetic.

You’re the railway. Do you know how many people love and obsess over trains and railways? There are probably tons of people who would pay to hear an AI version of their voice coming from the train speakers. How did it come to this? How incompetent can you be?

Men would be bragging about how short they are.

If you looked at my Duolingo, you’d think I was pretty fluent in Japanese. But if you look at me talking to a Japanese person, you’d think I knew very little Japanese.

One other thing you can do is to set a daily alarm on your phone. The downside of the phone solution is that you can simply turn the alarm off and it just goes away.

But if you rely on cats, then you’ll at least have to go to where the treats are.

I think this is a call duck.

It might be your sleep paralysis demon in the shape of a cat.

My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they’re singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn’t racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

For some reason, I don’t have much of a problem with cat hair, like it just causes itchiness after several hours, but if a cat licks me, I quickly break out in hives.

Often times, when you want clarification about something, you’ll repeat a word that somebody said as a question.

Like, “Do you know why I’m baking a cake?” “A cake?” “A pound cake. Do you know why I’m baking it?”

That’s how I read the second panel the first time, and I was confused.

I realize it’s mostly unrelated to this comic and has outdated ideas of gender roles, but I am reminded of If You Wanna Be Happy by Jimmy Soul.

First time I touched the internet would have been around 1990. I dialed up and connected to a BBS and it had a connection to the internet. I think it had gopher, and I couldn’t figure out what use it was at the time.

It wasn’t until the mid nineties that I really connected and understood what it was.

Strangely, I’ve never had someone say that my username doesn’t check out who also explained clearly why they thought that way. I think this is the second time.

And being called names by strangers online doesn’t really register as anything but noise. I guess if it was in this thread, it would be slightly on topic, but elsewhere, it would probably just lead to reports and blocks.
