Quote from the guy:
The Second Amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The Second Amendment is not even about personal defense. That is important. The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government.
So does this count as defense against a tyrannical government? Given that he’s a propagandist / mouthpiece for the current said government causing harm to countless humans right now.
Maybe her master plan is getting some kind of exception for being an uber-trumper or something.
I mean, he lets pedos out of prison if they do what he wants… or at the very least moved to a minimum security prison that sex offenders have never been allowed to be in that just so happens to have the policy allowing for work release for it’s inmates. When sex offenders can get big exceptions, why not huge fans?
Why?
Shouldn’t everyone feel morally responsible for receiving the maximum reward so that they can personally distribute those funds amongst as many people as possible? The other guy is fine with just 3m, so one year of your life apparently could provide 9999 other people with a life of never having to work again.
I don’t think “fully auto drink machines” like what miso makes are really anywhere today.
Even the fully automatic solutions that do exist have limits to output which require human intervention. There’s no drink machine spitting outputs directly to people waiting in cars at drive through windows.
Yep, we definitely don’t have any kind of law prohibiting a business from disposing of food waste en masse.
We do have a ton of liability laws that would punish them from distributing leftover food though, should someone get sick after it is distributed.
Also don’t have any kind of thing preventing households from wasting food either. I suspect countless of perfectly fine meals are disposed of every single day, probably enough to feed the country twice over, if not more.
It’s a tough problem in a land of excess without near-total elimination of privacy and agency.
One person commits suicide from LLMs: OH MY GOD BAN ALL LLMS REQUIRE IDS AND REGULATE THEM TO THE GROUND. (Please ignore all cases of suicide for therapy patients. Therapy is always effective and results in positive outcomes, right?)
One person dies in a car crash with a semi-autonomous L2 car: OH MY GOD BAN ALL SELF DRIVING CARS PEOPLE ARE DYING LEFT AND RIGHT (ignore billions of miles per significant accident for the robot vs hundreds of thousands for humans.)
Just two examples, and odds are you have your own personal opinion about how you absolutely loathe one or another. Maybe you feel like you’re losing control with self driving cars, or maybe you feel like chat bots have encroached on your field of work because you’re a dev and we’ve had countless layoffs after over-hiring during covid lockdowns.) Either way, there’s studies and there’s kneejerk reactions, and in our world the latter is winning right now.
Totally agree. Without details we don’t have any idea what actually went wrong.
What’s the architecture of taco bell’s implementation?
Which LLM are they using?
I worked at a pizza place with a drive through. We sold many items that were non-pizza like wings, subs, salads, burgers, desserts and side items like fries, mozz, etc. My girlfriend’s family owned the place, so I was familiar with more than just grunt work and had some inside insight into the business numbers that normal workers do not get.
We would never have fulfilled an 18,000 water cup request.
If someone came by with a catering sized order in the drive through, we would have had them park somewhere and told them a relative estimate of how long it would be. Sure, maybe someone would have started on a couple of things, but we wouldn’t be able to fulfill such large orders in the time it took between placing an order and the window. There’s only so many workers.
There was obviously plenty of food waste, but that’s baked into the cost of the items.
You mean the ~$200/hr contract cleaners at the nonprofit “rehab center” our 80something year old parents go to is going to profit? no way!
Now multiply that single contract worker doing cleaning to all aspects of building maintenance, medical devices… and unbelievably these are all for-profit entities acting as vendors are owned by the same entity that owns the nonprofit healthcare facility.
I’m not making this up, sadly.
I just don’t agree man. It won’t do what most people want it to do, it doesn’t at all work like some kind of science fiction “AI” that we classically think of. It’s great at organizing patterns and helping create models to do a specific use case, but when you try to do some real convoluted multilevel thing it just doesn’t.
We’ve been using ML for a ton of tools in tech for a long time. Crowdstrike, Darktrace and Abnormal are all very successful in the realm of what they do thanks to ML (aka “AI”.)
OCR has been used for so long and has gotten really fucking good, thanks to ML.
I don’t think we’re gonna replace humans for thinking, but we can definitely replace them for boring repetitive actions.
Really the only cost here is the impact to consumer attitudes towards taco bell and AI because the video and news of this is circulating. One error is whatever, but public perception doesn’t typically involve much critical thinking.
People are still irrationally terrified of all manner of technology even though science backs it up, like vaccines.
The mcdonalds thing was because the model they implemented was misinterpreting people and incorrectly placing orders. Yeah, obviously the thing wasn’t working right so they pulled that. Sounds just like early personal assistants on phones and other devices, hell my wife still struggles with those. They clearly needed more time developing and testing it with a diverse range of customers from all over. I don’t know if they trained it using recordings from real drive throughs from all over, but they should have.
The 18000 water example probably didn’t cost anyone anything. Regardless of if it was intentional or not, it wouldn’t have been fulfilled as part of an order. They mention it “crashing the system” - whatever that means in this context is impossible to know. Did it take down all of taco bell? Did it cause the LLM to stop responding on JUST this one site? All of them? Did it eventually time out and start working right? it’s impossible to know because the details just aren’t there and we have no insight as to the system architecture. I always assume there is a method to rely on traditional ordering where a person listening in while the chatbot talks to the person can take over and fix the problem. It’s not like there aren’t drive through workers still there.
This is not solely a european problem, and it’s not new.
A faction of conservatives will scream up and down that they’re protecting the children. Most people will generally side with privacy.
My suspicion is that the end goal is to classify people to target your opponents, even the ones who don’t have much of a platform.
Once you can identify all the anonymous people on the internet and build profiles of all their communications with ML, you can easily generate a list of people who are against your policies and target them. I’m pretty sure you could find other subsets of data linking these people so you can then target them indirectly without too much friendly fire against your supporters.
In the US, One easy target I haven’t seen any actions for is Marijuana. All those medical patients are in a database somewhere. All the debit card transactions in stores are in a database somewhere. It’s still federally illegal and the punishments are nuts if prosecuted. Take your communications list, and the MJ list, target the ones on both and ignore the rest. You get to legally enslave your opponents under the guise of weed.
Why would this cause them to rethink anything?
If someone trolls an order of thousands of something, a worker isn’t going to just make that thing. I get that retail workers are treated like shit and are paid shit so have zero shits to give. If someone rolls up to the drive through window asking for their thousands of waters or whatever, the people working there are gonna escalate it to a manager or just tell the guy to go pound sand.
Anybody today can go to any drivethrough and ask for whatever and then simply drive away. I’m certain it happens from time to time, even from legitimate orders when someone discovers they leave their wallet at home. If it was a great problem though these businesses simply wouldn’t order drive through service, or would require payment before cooking anything.
It was always intended to be this way.
The beginning was pre-enshittification. We’re going from the good ole’ days to the future, and the future sure as shit aint for you unless you’re in the club… and you aint, none of us are.
Tell that to my 90 year old grandfather.
Your inside line needs to go around and go to all the prohibited sites when they find users with unlocked computers.
Bonus points if they can plant a task that routinely checks in with a background process to said sites. Shouldn’t need any kind of admin rights to run a web browser, and they have to have at least one whitelisted even if they lock down computers severely.
It’s criminal to be poor, obviously.
Just like it’s criminal to be brown or black.
