@Aleums Treat AI like a long-winded fortune cookie: add "in bed" to the end and see if its funny

The way to study AI use is to treat it like astrology. Which is to say, treat it as an empirical social practice that is embodied in particular locations and can be studied thusly

Any and all claims to be able to divine the future are orthogonal to the actual social practice under study. Being able to parse the lingo helps to avoid confusion, but is only loosely connected to the overall endeavor of examining the present

@tek I find it quite concerning, but we should keep in mind its just copy-pasting stuff it saw on stack overflow, and mimicking descriptions from stackoverflow

I want to start playing with this stuff more, and see how much it sucks at a novel non-CRUD programming problem. If no one on stack overflow ever did this, does it have a chance?

with each new dawn we're reaching new levels of someone should do something about that guy.

@vantablack The amount of redundancy/error correction is also pretty wild! I've played with scribbling on and tearing them, you can destroy ~30% of the image including one of the corner markers and it won't scan, and then just draw a box by hand there and normal decoders will read it again!

The one weakness I've run into is they don't work well on curved surfaces, as long as whatever perspective is going on keeps it trapezoidal its easy to decode!

damn i had NO IDEA that QR codes were i invented IN THE NINETIES and were originally created to label auto parts 🤯

i always thought they were WAY newer

"A QR code, quick-response code, is a type of two-dimensional matrix barcode invented in 1994 by Masahiro Hara of Japanese company Denso Wave for labelling automobile parts."

@babble_endanger lol, yes I believe it. AI is very good at making stuff that looks right at first glance, until you squint and go "da fuck is happening there?!?"

i heard there was a secret ooze
that turned four reptiles into dudes
but you don't really care for turtles do ya

they battle crime throughout the night
as splinter taught them how to fight
and from the sewers came a cowabunga

cowabunga, cowabunga
cowabunga, cowa-buuu-ngaaa ~🎵

@babble_endanger @finn Terrible, well done, thank you

@InternetEh also, I suppose Beethoven never "mixed" this in the first place... should we call it a "rearrangement?"
