the activity they are engaged in is bullshitting, in the Frankfurtian sense (Frankfurt, 2002, 2005).
Not just any bullshit, Frankfurtian bullshit.

@Watson said in I, ChatGPT:
Frankfurtian bullshit.
Probably. If you've never seen the meat (pureed meat-(un)like substance known as "pink goo") used to make frankfurters, you don't want to.

Meh. The freakout about that has always struck me as ridiculous. Plenty of people who don't cook get grossed out by handling raw meat, like a boneless / skinless chicken breast, too.

@HardwareGeek When all other meat is cut off the carcass, high-pressure water jets are used to clean anything left off the bones. This is what we call 'separatorvlees', literally 'separator meat'.
That's not really the problem. The problem is how much non-meat (like wheat flour, ground potato, or plain old water) gets mixed in.
-
@PleegWat and traditionally, the "problem" with hot dogs was that they were made with what we'd generally consider non-meat bits, not stuff like that.

"At this point our lawyers no longer allow us to refer to it as 'food'."

@Watson Nope, you eat it is
I'm pretty sure there's a reason behind the expression "to see how the sausage is made," came about. I.e. to learn the unpleasant details about.
-
@error There's also the old joke of a carpenter and a butcher meeting, and somehow the conversation turns to food. The carpenter says "I don't eat sausage because you never know what's in there" and the butcher replies "I don't eat sausage either, because I know what's in there".

@ixvedeusi I wonder how many people nowadays would not eat sausage if they knew what it was inside of. Most edible sausage skins are made from intestine.

TBF that was common knowledge 100 years ago and doesn't seems to have spoiled it for many. If anything the share of intestine has shrunk now in favor of plastic. Not sure if that's better or worse though.
-
@LaoC Hence the nowadays, and the edible.

I only eat sausages with authentic homemade sawdust. Support small butchers.

Unfortunately, image search failed to find any pictures of midgets working as meat cutters.
Pro tip: If you are in the habit of leaving safe search off, do not search for images of "midget" (unless you're into that sort of thing). Not a single result was SFW.

Shares in Nvidia have risen by 180pc so far this year and nearly 4,500pc over the past five years, amid a wave of excitement about the possibilities of AI technology.
Crypto miners would like a word with you.
Nvidia executives have cashed in on the company’s huge stock rally. Bloomberg reported that they have sold about 770,000 shares this year totalling more than $700m. Last week, Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, sold $31m worth of stock, according to a regulator filing.
Nvidia declined to comment on the share sales.

I can see me losing my appetite if I see a cow being killed, skinned and cut in pieces

@sockpuppet7 I don't particularly want to see it, either, and I especially don't want to be involved. I'm happy to let somebody else do the icky part. That's why I don't hunt or fish. (That, and my utterly discouraging lack of success when I did try to fish, as posted , but this is why I'm not terribly unhappy about my lack of success.)

I don't know exactly why, but I decided to test your claim, so I tried it (image search on DuckDuckGo with SafeSearch off), and the first NSFW image (about the 25th image) was a midget woman in lacy underwear, no worse than a generic lingerie ad. The next one, depending on what you might consider NSFW, (about the 60th image) was an image of a bunch of shirtless midget wrestlers. Like luchador/WWF wrestling. And that was after ultra-compact car images started showing up.

Deer/elk meat (if it's not inundated with adrenaline; i.e. the hunter got a clean instant kill) is good enough that observing (and helping with) the butchering process is totally worth any potential squick. I don't have any with that. My main problem was more with the cold temperatures the meat was kept at during the butchering, since it made my fingers numb and made it harder to control the knife safely.

While the interface looks like Instagram, the app’s main twist is that, when signing up, you create an AI character, or Butterfly, that starts generating photos and interacting with other accounts on its own. There is no limit to the number of Butterflies you can create, and they are designed to coexist with human accounts that can also post to the feed and comment.

@boomzilla Based on the AI image shit in my feeds now, I'd say they've already arrived.

Um, no. I just have an almost obsessive compulsion to test absolute claims, especially if they're about subjective systems. Almost. I can usually resist them. But this one actually seemed pretty tame. If I really wanted to see "hot midget porn" I could just search for that instead.

9/10 good rant would read again
Most organizations cannot ship the most basic applications imaginable with any consistency, and you're out here saying that the best way to remain competitive is to roll out experimental technology that is an order of magnitude more sophisticated than anything else your I.T department runs, which you have no experience hiring for, when the organization has never used a GPU for anything other than junior engineers playing video games with their camera off during standup, and even if you do that all right there is a chance that the problem is simply unsolvable due to the characteristics of your data and business? This isn't a recipe for disaster, it's a cookbook for someone looking to prepare a twelve course fucking catastrophe.

You can see enough to heuristically determine that none of them are likely to be NSFW in nature.

@LaoC That thing is gold.
I had my fun with Copilot before I decided that it was making me stupider - it's impressive, but not actually suitable for anything more than churning out boilerplate.
Pretty much sums up my impression on the LLM / GenAI craze in general. Sure it's fun and does some impressive things when you're lucky and poke it the right way, but it just doesn't seem to produce anything much that would be of actual use to any specific problem.
