A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'll say. I'd have expected him to be using Grok, not ChatGPT.

I genuinely think ChatGPT would do a better job.
This is not an endorsement but a criticism.

Please take my endorsement of your criticism.

Eh, why fault technology when those people are just children that don’t know anything about running things but they’re deeply convinced they do. Trump is a narcissist with ADHD, doing this kind of scatterbrained but opinionated stuff is very on brand. I sympathise with the condition because I’m similar.

If anything more people should be pointing and ridiculing the formula that was used to derive tariff rates. They padded it with redundant calculation of 4x0.25 hidden away by Greek letters to make it look like something even worth writing down.

My initial response was "JFC!!!!!!!" but given the gap between thinking that and starting to type, I realized "of course they'd do this" was the correct reaction.

Maybe they can get a couple of chatbots and a rural PTA member into a Signal group chat this time.

Idiots in my company have started selling AI-generated predictions to government agencies. They admit they have no idea what the AI does.

Man, watching them try to figure out what the fuck is going on and who's even real could be entertaining for a bit.

AI that's powered by crappy prompts
