Dropping babies at fire stations is a trend way older than any firefighter currently alive. They all know what the intent is if they find an unattended baby.

Some of them might take a bit before they realize it’s actually serious though.

If I need help I’m sure as hell not calling the cops. The cops are only useful if the situation would be improved by a crazed gunman suddenly showing up and shooting anything that moves.

There are situations, granted, where that’s an improvement. But not many.

A torture device is useful for extracting information.

No it fucking isn’t! This is a great analogy, actually, thank you for bringing it up. A person being tortured will tell you literally anything that they believe will stop you from torturing them. They will confess to crimes that never happened, tell you about all their accomplices who don’t exist, and all their daily schedules that were made up on the spot. Torture is useless but morons think it is useful. Just like AI.

Those users are being harmed by it, not benefited. That isn’t useful, it’s a social disease.

Language without meaning is garbage. Like, literal garbage, useful for nothing. Language is a tool used to express ideas, if there are no ideas being expressed then it’s just a combination of letters.

Which is exactly why LLMs are useless.

Imo most of their music sucks bigtime. Some people like it, idk what they see in it.

But yes, The Mollusk is a masterpiece.

Back in the early 2010s there was this cloud gaming service called OnLive which I thought was actually pretty neat. I played a couple action games and there wasnt really any noticeable latency. Idk what kind of wizardry they use but for most games they can probably make it work.

Of course rhythm games and fighting games specifically will probably never be playable through streaming, but those are basically unplayable at anything but the highest possible performance.
