Are you implying that AirBNB hosts don’t do this price gouging as well?

WindyRebel , to Technology in OpenAI plans to announce Google search competitor on Monday, sources say

Well, they could potentially pull from various sources to make a cohesive answer. Right now Google’s SGE (search generative experience, their AI in organic search) pulls one source to answer and then offers some other links that also answer the same question.

I completely agree with you though. Shit is getting worse for no reason other than $$$$$$$

They’ve probably got enough machine learning to take keywords and figure out intent. That’s essentially what Google does with autocomplete. They (Google) use n-grams. So I expect OpenAI already has this all figured out.

What worries me is AI getting things wrong and perpetuating lies that are also made up via AI (maybe even the same AI). Also, how will their algorithm work? Do they fact check things they display? I hate Google, but at least they do have somewhat of a push to ensure authority and trust via their algos.

Then we get inside people to give them 1/4 of their catered food that they ordered so they can be warmer AND hungrier.

Let. Them. Fight.

I counted around 30-32 in panel 2.

WindyRebel , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

I understood what you were saying! I am fewer irritated. I would personally use less, because it sounds better in this instance, but totally agree. Not sure how I’d put a number to my irritation though. I am not a robot, so my irritation isn’t exactly a quantifiable scale.

WindyRebel , to Ask Lemmy in What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

Yes and in American English the H sound in historic is always used with “a” unless I’m missing a bunch of examples somewhere. The H sound isn’t silent

WindyRebel , to Ask Lemmy in What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

I’m not certain if this is what you were getting at, but these are mine:

An historical - It doesn’t follow the general way of using a or an with consonants and vowels. Nor does it change the meaning if I said a historical (event) instead an historical (event).

Fewer and less. I understand that there is a rule, but the rule is fucking dumb. If I say there are less people or if I say there are fewer people - the end result is the same that there isn’t as much as there was before.

Language is fluid. As long as we understand the meaning of what is being said then who cares?

WindyRebel , to World News in Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back

Yeah, and? Are you discounting how powerful emotions can be versus logic? There’s an entire industry (psychology) around this and they still haven’t solved it.
