I have reasonable expectations based on the hubris of people ignorant of both AI and what they use it on.

Anybody that cocky and stupid would never present a simple test of concept as evidence.

They 100% asked AI to make an E commerce or company page.

Mine is definitely a junk drawer of random nonsense that is tens of gigs in size.

I wanted to recover files from an old hard drive for a Linux install I had for about a decade, it was not fun to look through for the handful of files I wanted.

That’s a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder’s contents.

If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.

What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.

The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

I am talking about a more advanced AI, not even true AI. LLMs are Temu AI, the name brand stuff is going to wreck the workforce.

Companies are only a few years away from being able to fire the majority of their office workers and replace them with AI.

If you think I am wrong, you fail to understand office work or the rapid pace at which AI is advancing.

Our technological advancement is on the precipice of outpacing our ability to adapt to it; that ends very badly for most people.

The judge said that was not a valid excuse for my actions.

I’m still not allowed on Argon’s property.

I think the fridge power consumption I found is based on an empty fridge, so having one filled with food is more efficient.

I think the idea is to have the battery with a passthrough, so the fridge draws from the battery and the battery charges from the solar/grid.

With modern battery monitoring the health of the battery could be monitored and warn the owner should there be an issue.

I think the idea is to have the battery as an accessory that you can add-on.

Refrigerators, microwaves, and LCD TVs come to mind.

A refrigerator uses 300 to 800 watts. That is 2-4kWh a day

Microwaves use 600-1000 watts. 6.1 kWh per month if used 15 minutes a day.

TVs use like 100 watts. 4.55kWh a month with 1.5 hrs of watch time a day.

All 3 are big enough to accommodate an appropriately sized battery to mitigate their draw. Having a decentralized battery mesh system coupled with solar main power does have some advantages, but I find it hard to say that it would be more advantageous than a centralized system due to cost and complexity.

Trust implies consent.

Not quite, it ended up being quite the messy situation.

I feel so attacked right now. I am shook. I need a beer or two to calm down. I am shaking, mostly from withdrawal, but also a panic attack.

Edit: Nevermind, I’m good. It was just gas.

By encouraging them by using the AI, you are generating justification for the cost, which doesn’t grow per user and time spent in a meaningful amount.

If you don’t use it, they will have wasted money on implementation and support, and then will have pissed that money away by ending it and having to hire people or switching to a non-AI chatbot.

You won’t bankrupt the company by using their AI garbage.

Engagement = encouragement.

I think I first used it around 2004ish. It was barely useful with basic applications without doing work, you could use it to have fairly decent support once you figured out the process. I think I was able to get an SNES emulator and a barely stable N64 emulator to run.

It was basically a best last option if you needed to run a windows program and couldn’t/wouldn’t do a dual boot.

So yeah, they definitely improved things.

The question isn’t about affording it, the questions is why China would give up such a valuable Intel gathering and propaganda tool? They wouldn’t sell it for all the tea in China.

Especially since the damn nanny state outlawed laudanum.
