  • My favorite is saying "send an SMS to [SO’s name]“ reading it correctly recognized on the display, only to be told “sorrry I can’t send SMS messages yet”, giving the exact same instruction again right after, and now I can send the SMS.

    But when gemini installed itself and insisted that I use it instead, I got so pissed that it lasted for about 15km of my commute home, before I pulled over and got rid of it. Now I didn’t just have to fight speech recognition, now I had to argue with a glorified toaster about putting on music.










  • it uses a lot less energy since it runs on your home or company’s infrastructure.

    A CPU-cycle requires energy no matter where it is. The open source models may be more efficient, or you may distribute the power usage over a greater geographical area. But you’re not using less energy because you’re running the model at home.

    Because of that, I predict that we’re going to see a lot of financial hardship among AI companies.

    I do like the idea that open source will kill tech giants.





  • Drive through consists of five distinct locations:

    1. Ordering at a speaker stand.
    2. Paying at the first window (which is not where you ordered)
    3. Waiting at the second window to get told to go to the third window.
    4. Being told to move out of the line, and park next to it, because an order of a royale with cheese, a medium fries with mayo, and a medium sprite is too complex of an order to process fast.
    5. Going down the highway, crying because nobody remembers pulp fiction, and eating your bag of crap.
