  • This is so weird to me. Are we really at a point where we need recreate old, dead actors instead of giving new actors a shot?

    Like could you imagine if we had this technology a hundred years ago and just decided that Charlie Chaplin was the best, so let’s just clone his likeness and put him in everything? You’d never have a John Wayne, a Robert DeNiro, a Harrison Ford, or a Tom Hanks. Just a recreation of Charlie Chaplin in every major movie - because it’s cheaper and less risky to recreate someone old with AI than it is to take a chance on someone new.

    This timeline is dumb as hell.





  • My wife works at a library. People constantly come in asking to use the library fax machine, because Google’s AI says they have one.

    They don’t have one. Their website says they don’t have one. But LLMs have determined it’s plausible for libraries to have a fax machine, so Google tells people that they have one.

    You’d be surprised at the number of people who can’t accept that people working at the library know more about the library than Google.
