Id be tickled to have odd answers by mr. yankovic mself

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Would you be tickled if Mr Yankovic strapped you down to some medical restraining table and then.............tickled your feet with a feather???

Seems like something he'd do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think the feather was Yankee Doodle not Yankovic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure that was macaroni.

Just let an algorithm decide. What could go wrong?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Don't worry the algorithm has been designed to DO THE RIGHT THING

spoiler... for the shareholders

If only there was a way to show the whole world in one simple example how Enshitification works.

Probably one of the shitstains in Google's C-suite after having signed a "wonderful" contract to get access to "all that great data from Reddit" forced the Techies to use it against their better judgement and advice.

It would certainly match the kind of thing I've seen more than once were some MBA makes a costly decision with technical implications without consulting the actual techies first, then the thing turns out to be a massive mistake and to save themselves they just double up and force the techies to use it anyway.

That said, that's normally about some kind of tooling or framework from a 3rd party supplier that just makes life miserable for those forced to use it or simply doesn't solve the problem and techies have to quietly use what they wanted to use all along and then make believe they're using the useless "sollution" that cost lots of $$$ in yearly licensing fees, and stuff like this that ends up directly and painfully torpedoing at the customer-facing end the strategical direction the company is betting on for the next decade, is pretty unusual.

If they hadn't bought and then shutdown what became google groups to sabotage Usenet they could have gotten access to just as good of a data set for free.

Hey I'm from a piracy centered instance, so I copied the punctuation from your purchase and will share with you and anyone now free of charge.

Can you tell me what the previous poster thinks is "pretty unusual"? I can't understand the giant run on sentence

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I didn't even read most of his comment tbh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You mean answers like this one?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Can that YouTuber sue them for defamation (oh my god that would be amazing). They should consult a lawyer

No matter what I ask Google search, the answer is always 42. Anyone?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

It's evolving, just backwards.

This thing is way too half baked to be in production. A day or two ago somebody asked Google how to deal with depression and the stupid AI recommended they jump off the Golden Gate Bridge because apparently some redditor had said that at some point. The answers are so hilariously wrong as to go beyond funny and into dangerous.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Hopefully this pushes people into critical thinking, although I agree that being suicidal and getting such a suggestion is not the right time for that.

"Yay! 1st of April has passed, now everything on the Internet is right again!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

One could hope but I don't think it's likely.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I think this is the eternal 1st of April.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

allowing reddit to train Google's AI was a mistake to begin with. i mean just look at reddit and the shitlord that is spez.

there are better sources and reddit is not one of them.
