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.

@Kissaki In another thread, people are mocking AI because the free language models they are using are bad at drawing accurate maps. "AI can't even do geography". Anything an AI says can't be trusted, and AI is vastly inferior to human ability.
These same people haven't figured out the difference between using a language AI to draw a map, and simply asking it a geography question.
Your comment made me very curious, and I dunno if this is hilarious or disappointing.
@callouscomic I lean towards disappointing. We are literally surrounded at all times by amazing technology, but the default position is still "technology bad" 🙄
It reminds me of the concerns people had when trains were being invented, people refused to ride on them because "God never meant for us to travel faster than 20 km/h" or that such breakneck speeds would somehow cause harm to a woman's uterus or ovaries.
