I'm not anti the general field of Artificial Intelligence, it's an extremely interesting subject. I am deeply skeptical of the LLM/GPT products that are being deceptively sold to people as "AI solutions" or claiming to be the science fiction of Artificial General Intelligence. The cult-like following developing around them is even more disturbing, it is like something from Dune or W40K.
Please learn how these things actually work, even on a basic level, before making such wild claims.
Good Morning! 🌅
I hate to say it, but I wish people would realise the Irish Government can't really do anything about fuel prices. Yes, they can reduce excise duty, but only so much before that causes other problems. Protesting the price of Diesel isn't going to achieve much right now. Making EVs affordable to the average person and removing the tarrifs on Chinese EVs would be much better.
Good morning! 🌅
Wow, businesses and people really do abuse Open Street Map without thinking. I don't get why people don't respect the licences and tile usage policies, it really isn't that hard and they aren't complicated policies to comply with.
Getting very annoyed at the "just buy an electric car" crowd. Even second hand the cost *to buy* one is still prohibitive and one is going to give me a loan right now when at best I'm taking home just over a grand a month.

Well, I think I'm just going to watch TV and pretend I didn't see this earlier...

How on earth is this sort of thing legal? This is simply a slum. It's ironic because I believe houses such as this were used as such from the early 1800s to mid 20th century. This is just neo-colonialism. Creation of slums needs to be banned.

History repeats itself like an Eagle's Claw reaching into the past for a couple of burnt out helicopters... 🙃
For some reason I have just been reminded of Unpleasant Horse, a parody of Robot Unicorn Attack, I wonder if you have preserved it? @gamesthatwerent@mastodon.world
I remember playing a prototype of this and laughing uncontrolably at my desk.
