This might be the most awfully absurd thing that could ever happen.

“We got perfectly capable humans doing that job pretending to be AIs so that we can sell more incapable AIs services, AND prevent the AI bubble from bursting. Gotta make some big $$$ out of this shit, 2008 style baby”

Lest anyone think this is a new scam:

It's also worth noting that this is famous enough that Amazon has offered a service called Mechanical Turk since 2005.

The implementation and service are both fine in theory, but you do need to be clear that what's being paid for is humans pretending to be computers.

One of the weird quirks of capitalism: doing good things that help people generally attracts more workers (since most people are empathetic and want to do good things), and the labor market then places downward pressure on wages and other benefits. Of course, this does have benefits in that we can then enjoy a larger quantity of cheap coffee, music, charity, etc. but I feel there’s got to be a better way. Especially since the inverse is true. Doing wicked things the system requires but most humans hate then demands a wage premium because fewer people are willing to do them.

so the solution is not to let markets and wages alone dictate the conditions for decent life.

There’s a fatal flaw in this that she never even addressed. In the beginning, she said she is always wearing a hat. Well, if she’s carrying a bag, she’s no longer wearing a hat! I think she needs to make the bag in a way that she can still wear the hat while it’s a bag.

towerful ,

Obviously, you need the hat-bag to carry spare hats.

Most of the times, I carry a bag or two with me when doing groceries, but sometimes I don't. Sometimes I wish I had a compact bag in my hat. But I don't wear a hat.

t3rmit3 , to World News in Gaza aid pier removed, satellite images show | REUTERS

It was always just a distraction to divert news from asking who was stopping aid getting in, by giving them a narrative about "need to build this pier first". Sleight of hand for propagandists to exploit.

I thought it was a way to ship Gazas out by boat to far away lands

grue , to Bicycles in How the amazingly burly ‘Buffalo Bicycle’ offers affordable transport to developing countries

It makes me sad that these sorts of things never get released in the US, even on a "pay twice the price to get one for you and fund one for the needy" kind of scheme. We want them too!

Kaboom ,

Wtf are you talking about? Surly is an American company, they make and sell those things here.

grue ,

WTF are you talking about? The "Buffalo Bike" isn't a Surly; it's apparently designed by an organization called "World Bicycle Relief."

OP's third link specifically says:

But you can’t buy a Buffalo Bike, or at least not for yourself. A $165 donation helps donate a bike to someone in need.

Kaboom ,

Oh, I miss read it. But the real question is why a buffalo bike over literally any other steel bike?

Churbleyimyam ,

There are lots of things in the video

atzanteol ,

Somebody should create a video talking about that.

AI was filmed on a soundstage in California. Sam Altman was played by Jesse Eisenberg. ChatGPT is just a recording of Mark Zuckerberg talking to himself in the mirror

I agree, I strongly advise Ukraine not to go all-in on archers.

I really enjoyed this video. It went into a few things I was fuzzy about despite having to ELI5 power factor to corpo suits on a semi-regular basis for about a decade.

Nebula link for those that partake.

Tylerdurdon , to retrocomputing in What was the last IBM ThinkPad?

You know, I was thinking the Thinkpad was going to go to crap after Lenovo bought it, but overall I didn't have anything negative to say. I wore mine out, keeping it way beyond it's end of life and it kept chugging. It was difficult to part, in fact, but so goes change.

Clusterfck ,

We switched from Dell to Lenovo at work and the amount of times I’ve had to totally reformat a computer for something just randomly not working right and not being able to find another fix for it has gone to almost zero. Before, with 20 computers, every couple months we had to reformat at least one laptop.

Not a single person has complained about missing Dell in two years.

I would be careful trusting everything said in this video and taking it at face value.

He touches on a broad range of different AI related news, but doesn't seem to fully grasp the technology himself (I'm basing this statement on his "evidence" from the 8 min mark).

He seems to be running a channel that's heavily centered on stock market related content. And it feels like he's putting his own spin on every topic he touches in this video.

Overall, it's not the worst video, but I would rather base my information from better informed sources.

What he should have done was to set the baseline by defining what AI actually is and then proceed to compare what these companies are doing with that definition. Instead we have a list of AI news stories covering Amazon Fresh Stores, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot (powered by ChatGPT) and his own take on how those stories mean that everything is faked.
