I'm actively nuking it on the work network. Windows 11 is a security breach. I'm blocking a rather large portion of Microsoft IP space. I really wish I could just kill all of it just like I want to kill gmail. Gmail has done nothing useful to curtail the spammers using bulk created emails to send spam. I get a lot from compromised outlook accounts running on some entities domain. But outlook and recall are being removed from the registry every time a machine boots or a user logs in. Along with spotlight and all the invasive ad injectors they have coded in. I haven't come up with a good way to keep deleting the cached programs due to microsoft integrating things like notepad into that push system. I will stay at it though.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Keep up the good work and happy holidays.
It is as if a car manufacturer decided to integrate a soda fountain in the dash of their cars. It takes prominent space right in the center of the dash. No one asked for it and anyone can easily get soda already without it if they want.
And then they put a button for it on every section of the dashboard, on the seats, on the steering wheel and even added a pedal to activate it as well and they have the car give you constant chimes to remind you to have yourself a drink.
But it serves only one brand of soda. It isn't even that good, causes cancer and every time you use it there is a 30 percent chance it serves you carbonated horse piss instead. There is no way to tell until you took a sip. Also it has microphones and cameras that spy on you for bullshit reasons.
If LLMs have taught me anything, it’s that some people would enjoy that carbonated horse piss if a billionaire told them it was good.
Glorious analogy
And in doing so they took away your access to your blinkers.
That's because if you don't get carbonated horse piss, it's actually just your blinker fluid!
We still need to further accelerate the AI crash somehow!
"Its not a bubble" -Idiots
the problem is that the government is buying in too. they want all the data also, except for surveillance
and just like 2008, when everyone dumps everything AI--all the bailouts for all the AIs, courtesy of yours and my tax moneys
they peddled to trump HARD, because palintir, openai is probably losing alot of money in recent years.
It made Notepad take seconds to open. Notepad. On a blank file.
Wait they put AI in freaking Notepad?!
The most vanilla ass text editor that's specifically made to be a vanilla ass text editor?
Yikes.
It does have basic formatting options now (that fortunately don't need Copilot) so it's got that going for itself which is nice.
if you right click on notepad in the start menu and press "uninstall" it will uninstall the new one and you'll get access to the old notepad
Is this an actual benchmark or did you just try it once?
I ask because "time to open" can be very misleading.
Even if I make the most lightweight GUI app there is (basically just draw a white background), it can take seconds until it opens for the first time. But if you close it and open it again, it is almost instantaneous. This is because of the various caches of windows. If you just log into windows, the first program you open will always need a few seconds to display the window.
It's not a benchmark and I had to deal with it for several days until I found the time to clean my system. Notepad now opens noticeably faster.
Does it start slower than emacs?
All this "AI" crap sounds fantastic, right until it collides with reality.
Give anyone some real, meaningful tasks to accomplish with the help of LLMs and see how they feel about it after a week and a month. Then ask them what they're willing to pay for continued usage. The answer won't surprise you, but apparently it's a big taboo to the hyperscalers.
My work is much faster with AI, I don't use chat GPT tho, I use duck.ai for quick rewrites and Claude for code

NOBODY IS ASKING FOR AI
How do these fucking numb skulls not understand this by now, All these companies are putting all of this time and energy and money researching and developing and building data centers all for some shit that THEY want, but no consumer is actually asking for.
This post has a sentence structure that just smells like it was LLM generated. The cadence, the short sentences, all of it.
Similar to Bing, they force it on you and people get pissed and ignore it.
I could've told them that for $100 million and it would've been cheaper for them

When big corpa doesn't listen to the nerds that say this is a pile of shit no one wants or trust...
But bruh, AI will take our jobs and will be betttah! @Angry_Autist@lemmy.autism.place Yes, I am still tagging you
