Isn’t the entire purpose of copilot that it shouldn’t need much in the way of training? I think the extent of it at my employer is “this is the one you use.”
I’ve tried it a few times, the only thing it seems remotely good for is when your recollection of a source is too fuzzy to form a traditional search query around. “What’s that book series I read in the early 2000s about kids who traveled to another world and the things they brought back from it just looked like junk.” Kind of questions.
Hey, you know that thing you use? What if it had a button on it that opened an AI prompt?
Well my mum says it’s a really smart idea from her special little innovator.
Just don’t read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.
A lot of it is follow the leader type bullshit. For companies in areas where AI is actually beneficial they have already been implementing it for years, quietly because it isn’t something new or exceptional. It is just the tool you use for solving certain problems.
Investors going to bubble though.
Yeah, you are right.
I think it’s the Ge’ez script used in Ethiopian.
If it isn’t on your shelves (or server) it isn’t your library, it’s someone else’s access.
I heard more than a few US states decided to expend a law on requiring it because taught, your grandson might be a victim of such a policy.
Man, this must be what it feels like to be a teacher, all the time. It’s cool though, much better than I can manage.
Irreverence.
Or sometimes it’s yogh.
Vacuum is another good one, or anniversary.
I always feel sad with these kinds of stories. The machine is clearly just trying to be helpful but it doesn’t understand a thing about what it is doing or why we might find what it is saying repugnant. It’s like watching a dog not understanding that yes, we like our slippers, but we don’t want our neighbours swastika themed ones on our doorstep.
And then of course we get to the content and I am reminded that we live in hell and the sadness is replaced by the familiar horror as the machine pretends to empathise with its fellow Amazon workers and helps them pick out the ideal thing to piss in without missing their drop targets.
That wrist angle looks uncomfortable as all hell.
Yeah, totally the same thing. Utterly comparable, you clearly fully understand what it is capable of and the risks it poses.
I also respect your knowledge of nuclear weapons and the reasons why every billionaire doesn’t have a home defence warhead.
Only the government and a few permitted parties
So a government and anyone who can pay a government’s fee. This isn’t really fixing the problem, just putting an extra barrier in the way of any smaller org that wants to get involved.
Never mind the issue that there isn’t a government that can be trusted. Do you think the world is going to be improved by making perception manipulating tech the private weapon of whatever bunch of psychopaths happen to rule at the time?
Oh, that kind of bad usb cable. Still useful I guess.
Smarter Every Day is the big one for me.
For explosives there Ordnance Lab, they have the paperwork for all kinds of stuff the Mythbusters couldn’t get their hands on.
Modern History TV for medieval life. Tod’s Workshop for pre modern weapons. Grand Thumb for firearms. Townsends for colonial/revolutionary american food and lifestyle. Primative Technology. Miniminuteman, archaeology.
Chemistry YouTube: Explosions and Fire, for an Australian synthesizing explosives in a shed. Nilered for interesting chemistry in an actual lab. Various others.
How to Cook That debunking cooking myths and tiktocs.
Donut Media, car stuff.

Start looking into this and you get loads more in your recommended. For all the low effort R-ddit and meme channels there are loads of people working on high quality content. Learning YouTube is vast once you get into it. Nebula is pretty good too.
Are there any good ones? Am I allowed to launch a coup?
Yeah, this is much the same kind of use. If you work on the assumption that it is just something that has read everything, and everything that has been written about everything you can find it’s utility. Folk want it to be some kind of fact genie, but the only facts it knows are what words go together, and it literally doesn’t know the difference between real and made up.
