See normally when an algorithm requires The Entire Global Supply Of Ram, a software engineer would consider that not a good algorithm, and would try and make a better one instead of optimising the entire planet for paperclip manufacturing.

Unfortunately we accidentally gave a bad software engineer too much money

i feel like we’re in the midst of a super villain plot and we only have a limited amount of time to disrupt the ram supply before it feeds a machine that… well let’s be honest; the scary Artificial Intelligence at work here is not going to be in the data centres. It’s the global economy and supply chains.

i mean, maybe my relative kindness towards AI tech is just my bias towards finding value in garbage in general.

@celesteh i’ve felt for a while that once the hype dies down, and the counter reactions have gone, and the bubble has truly popped, in about 10 years people will start imitating the quirks of AI painstakingly by hand out of affectionate nostalgia, the way they do with VHS and CRTs now

I dunno, I don't think I'm going to like obsequious ass-kissers any more in the future than I do now.

Sorry, I meant incorrect, inefficient obsequious ass-kissers.
