I mean it has argued with me over something it is flat wrong about multiple times. you basically have to tell it to use Google before responding like some 2000s Era forum argument. it's exhausting. who pays for this?

Claude is so bad if you're not using it for coding. rather than do the task you ask, it wants to tone police and argue with you, even when it doesn't know what it's talking about. ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok actually understand the assignment most of the time.

[Thioester @thioester]

My read on various AI models.

Gemini: Sycophantic in the extreme but capable of constructive feedback
ChatGPT: Words words words ramble ramble but seems to grasp the task more completely than the others
Grok: Straightforward, has a tendency to regurgitate your prompt, but fair

[Thioester @thioester]

Claude: Unimaginative and argumentative. Pushes back in a way the others don't, but doesn't really have a good argument half the time.

Doctor put me on wellbutrin (mostly for weight loss) and said side effects would be jitters and restlessness. he did not mention other side effect "dark psychic journeys under the light of the cold moon" should probably be on the label tbh

Feeling deranged, might write poetry and submit it to small online zines

Feeling increasingly deranged, might expand my collection of modernist Gothic poetry and submit to even more places

Is it just me or is NYC Indian food kind of bad? I've had better stuff in smaller cities

@1john22 @wcgrimley @HoffmanBen82606 @MikeWingerii these would literally fit the catholic church's definition of a first class relic

[Thioester @thioester]

they are fun

I tried reading the first Dungeon Crawler. It was kind of exhausting, very silly, and basically pointless. Don't get why they're such a phenomenon.

The AI overlords have spent years telling everyone how bad they are going to fuck everything up as a form of weird shock marketing and surprise surprise it has consequences.

Americans would rather have a nuclear power plant built in their community than a data center, this may be the worst corporate public-relations fumble of all time

[Thioester @thioester]

I like it

[Natalie Sterling @gaptoothdummy]

"Create a random image inspired by my X account." 😆😭🤣😪
Grok is very complimentary lmfao

[Thioester @thioester]

People are opposed to data centers because they are opposed to AI. And they are opposed to AI because people like Dario Amodei have spent the last 2-3 years telling everyone that AI will destroy their livelihoods and maybe even kill everybody.

@RobProvince The market is not going to correct. 400k houses bought during that period are pushing 600k now. After years of 6-7% interest rates.

@CynicalPublius Go to the supermarket and look at how much the average pot roast costs. I will wait.

[Thioester @thioester]

Is anyone shocked that the educated and professional classes are pissed off and voting for communists? Anyone? The Republican party has no answers for this. Yadda yadda free market capitalism....I CANT AFFORD BEEF IN AMERICA

[Thioester @thioester]

More examples. I used to eat ribeyes all the time, especially when I made less money. I haven't bought a grocery store ribeye in like 4 years. It's like $25 a steak! We basically cannot reasonably budget in beef on the regular.
