Mit der #BVG kann man jetzt nicht mehr ohne einen extrem lästigen und zähen Chatbot Kontakt aufnehmen.

Das sollte eine Seite mit Kontaktmöglichkeiten zu bestimmten Anliegen sein, im schlimmsten Fall halt eine Baumstruktur.

Aber nein, man verbrennt KI Tokens. Einfach alles anzünden, wirklich alles.

Aber am Ende wird man ja noch gefragt, wie man es fand (da darf man dann aber nicht mehr erklären wieso).

BVG Chatbot zum Ende: "Wie zufrieden bist du mit der Nutzung unseres Chatbots?"
Meine Antwort: "Angry Emoji"
BVG Chatbot: "Danke dir für dein Feedback."

We are at the "To The Galaxy In Five Years" stage of the AI Hype Train.

That thing about "I thought Elon/ChatGPT was a genius until they/it talked about something I know about"
Trust me, we are not 'going to the Galaxy by 2030', if it weren't for the Chinese we'd actually be regressing from the Galaxy. It's a hustle, it's all a fucking hustle and they're ripping off Science Fiction to sell it.

Everybody is right to mock him

Sci-fi writer Charles Stross' dark take on Silicon Valley 'religion'

I teach that scripture and sci-fi share the lesson: playing God leads to trouble. Tech worship a Torment Nexus, a cautionary fiction made real by people who miss the point.

The lesson here is to never show your face in public, until we get some fucking rights over this nightmare!

Isn’t that oneness implacable?
Aren’t the boundaries integral?
It’s not wrong – just not that practical – cos resistance is central
and down here in the pit
besplattered infinite potential
doesn’t really give me peace
to quell the chat just stills my pencil
much as it mulch me I must move multiplicitly
mouth make moist
spray voice
full to brim
It seems even if it’s a choice
veil of woe is me
I can’t buy sterility cultishly
Plenty problem with uncertainty certainly
Many of them probably due to me personally
All my concerns could be cured with a cursory
Self ain’t real and it’s all just the surface tea
You know
Naam Myoho Renge Kyo
But yo
My yard still ramshackle
Man still poor
Hand still sore
Mind still delicate
Head can’t get up cos the shit comes break a neck
Wreck a reckoning
No help is coming
So I can retreat to the space stay shut in
Release the ceaseless things that try butt in
prana and humming and I’ve still done nothing
how you meant to manage if you don’t detangle
if dissipation is the only angle
no indication what’s best to handle
just vibes based random notions of demand
that bear no explicable relation to the famble
there’s nowt grand for mans who don’t plan, understand?
How you have detachment with a kid? You dig?
You might release your image of yourself – you think she did?
You can make your peace with what is – and that’s big
but you can’t ujai away the dishstacked sink
presence ain’t birthday presents or events
flow don’t slow just grows incessant
I can count my blessings but she count evidence
living in the now sets an awful precedent
for torpor and more to the point my wife
deserves names and things and plans in her life

I see this going great. (Not.)

Yes, give the LLM direct access to your operational environment — and make no mistake, "on behalf of and with approval of the user" means they're not liable, *you* are.

And it can even automatically feed into the #Copilot slop and create more load for developers on #GitHub .

By the way, mainstream PL researchers today are hard at work reproducing Java's Checked Exception Hell, but for effects...

There is a torment nexus inside all of us and with the right environmental factors we can be induced to re-express it on others.

Skewed interpretations of classic works are feeding the dark visions of tech moguls, from Musk to Thiel
