Walmart already does this with pick up orders I see as many Walmart employees with carts running around as I do regular customers.

Sorry Mr Ed, won’t happen again sir. Please do not Gatling Gun me.

I mean, even in that one case, it was accurate, just not in the way they thought.

Yeah, I check toy stuff for clearance sometimes with the app and it even says “in this store” or something for the price.

Are Walmarts open at 2AM again? Most of them around here stopped doing 24 hours during COVID and never went back.

Fast Food too.

I think Claude is actually useful for things I need it to do sometimes while Open AI is very much not (coding). Open AI is often wrong in simple ways it should not be. Claude is really great at iterative building.

Yes and no, it’s hard to say.

Individual things will always be less efficient than mass produced things.

Food

Factory produced items.

Electric vs Gasoline cars.

Local vs central models.

But also, people might use it less frivolously if they are footing the bill directly. Plus, you will still need a data center somewhere in the chain to train the models, you cannot train models on local hardware. Not with any level of meaningful usefulness (AI hate it’s never useful blah blah aside).

The main advantages of local AI are two things. First Privacy, which is huge. No stealing your prompts of tracking what you ask about for ads or potential abuse by fascist assholes etc. Second, it’s not edited or censored (with the right model). You can ask it whatever you want from Tianamen Square to making bombs, to naked pictures of your favorite celebrity etc. If this is good or not is debatable, but it’s one of the two main reasons local is better.

I will never, pay for Open AI.

I might, in some future, pay for Claude, but not OpenAI.

But also very much probably not on Claude either.

It’s probably technically true since in the US we leave our spying to the Corporations.

I mean, local models with RAG exist.

I mean, we cut basically all of our external aid style programs so it sucks for non Americans too.

Personally, I would MICH rather my tax dollar go to teaching African kids about LGBTQ+ topics than being given to some stupid AI company.

Yeah, the type of people pushing this don’t even care about the inaccuracy either. If it “catches a black man” with facial recognition, even if it’s the wrong person it won’t matter “they are all criminal thugs anyway.” See also the ICE bull shit and basically deporting anyone even remotely Mexican looking, citizen or not.

I think this will backfire too. I think they way underestimate the amount of people already using “underpowered devices” that will just continue to do so without the new cloud services shit.

Basically everyone I know us using a 5-10+ year old laptop, for example. And they just use it fine, sure it’s pokey, and it’s not everyone, but it’s a lot.

What’s stupid is, you could even just keep just the programming part, and it would become much more efficient and not ramble on with explanations etc.

ITS THE FUTURE YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!

Meanwhile Elon Musk has a panic attack and reprograms Grok Everytime it tells the truth because it’s “Woke”.

Don’t act like US based models are not being manipulated as fuck. Hell it’s probably the ultimate end game for these pricks. Get these things mainstream for “all knowledge” and then “Hey ChatGPT, tell me about slavery?” “Ok user, slavery was a tool used by the benevolent superior white men to help grateful black people find work and shelter.” Except it doesn’t say “black people” in the actual future timeline.

It’s so cute, I want one.

They won’t.

Things that are “worth it” are comfortable and slow and don’t bring stupid numbers for the spread sheet want fest.

Well I for one plan to go early in the apocalypse, because if there is a heaven, I want to stand by the gate watching all the asshole “good Christians” get rejected. Standing there laughing for all eternity will be my heaven.
