That was targeted at supporting more tightly integrated and performant Macbooks .... it flopped because Apple came up with M1, not because it was bad per se.
apple never shipped a product with that, but it made for an excellent hackintosh

"Boomer C-Suites who fancy themselves Enterprise Tech executives and are happy to throw humans at any problem were happy buying off the Gartner catalog and then hitting the golf course. Today, millennial CEOs and CTOs get their analysis and news sources from X, /r/LocalLlama, the All In Podcast, Semianalysis Substacks, any number of YouTubes and Podcasts."
This reads like parody. I see another post in here talking about "Boomer catch phrasing" (in a word salad comment) which is simply hilarious.
While this millennial thought guru seems to think their age defines them, I think the rest of us realize that there are gullible rubes in every age group. There are fresh new recruits citing the gartner magic quadrant or whatever nonsense makes their world feel more orderly. I mean, LinkedIn is absolutely full of hilarious nonsense from people at every age trying to show that they Ordered The World because of some list or source they subscribe to.
This passage completely undercuts the overall message the author is going for. The idea that the All In podcast or the remaining users of Twitter are authoritative is laughable.
This could be said about any new tool.
"photoshop has created a dichotomy --- those who are below-average in their skills will see it as an improvement, while those who are above average will see it as regression."
"the automobile...
"the camera...
"the printing press...
signed: someone who really does not like these LLM's. Not for what they can do, but for the doubt they bring to the table. This is probably the same feeling as when digital image manipulation got good and you could no longer trust photos.(not that you ever really could. photos, even unaltered ones are notoriously easy to show only what you want them to.)
No, it couldn’t. The tools to which you compare require a different or complementary set of skills to use, and the user must understand the output or mode of operation that the tool conveys.
Prompt engineering (within the context of ChatGPT) is more useful for jailbreaking than using it for its intended purpose, aside from which, the complaint of the OP from the linked post is that their coworkers do not understand the output, if they did, they would not rely on ChatGPT as a smokescreen.
What? That seems...odd?
It’s odd, but he convinced Vision Fund to go along with this. It’s a clever grift, if it’s legal.

"dude": a man; a guy (from Oxford Languages)
Personally, I subscribe to the inclusive, Good Burger, definition of dude.
I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, ‘cause we’re all dudes, hey.
Of course a subscription would imply no upfront fee.
They're (presumably) double-dipping, the PC OEMs are already paying for the license.

intvocoder commented on USA Today Owner Pauses AI Articles After Butchering Sports Coverage futurism.com/the-byte/usa... · Posted by u/nxten
the owner is gannett.
the butchered coverage was in local newspapers, also owned by gannett.
which begs the question, why doesn’t the headline just, you know, name gannett?
edit: anyone downvoting care to indicate why? it seems rather pertinent to name the owner, given the scale, and the potential impact of using such technology at scale.
People think of Google, not Alphabet; of Facebook, not Meta. The headline identifies the brand familiar to millions.

I'm cynical because I've seen SO MANY terms quickly change, only to be told by people who are younger than my career that my use of a term is incorrect.
I'm cynical because I've been forced to be.
"copypasta" used to mean that a programs source code was copied from many places and hastily wired up so it all works without any cleanup or untangling of unnecessary bits of code, like casts from uint16 to uint32 so that one copied method could be used, then a cast back to uint16 so another copied method could be used, then a cast to uint32 again so that the ultimate result could be used.
could those types have been changed in the methods so that the casts weren't needed? you bet. but it is a hastily assembled Frankenstein's monster that lives and breathes but that gives you nightmares when you look at the source code again in 1 weeks time.
today, "copypasta" is often used to mean "I copied a single method from another project, used it, and now my program is legit copypasta, lol."
I'm just tired of people using words and technical terms without understanding them. I know that it's a reality of spoken languages, but I don't have to like it.
It’s maybe a stretch to call 4chan speak like “copypasta” a technical term.
But are people buying their machines?
They only started shipping this month... so, jury's out?
