His talent is getting money to fund things by lying and exaggerating which doesn’t require intelligence. That is a learned skill, frequently learned by kids of the wealthy like Musk and is generally successful long term when their early lies paid off and investors are betting on the person continuing to lie in a way that makes them money.

I have had four teeth replaced with the oral surgeon doing the screw and the dentist did the crowns. Yes it is expensive, but reasonably common, and partially covered by dental insurance.

But you do replace your brake pads before the wear out completely instead of just letting them grind your rotors, right?

Most dentist visits are like oil changes and vehicle checks to make sure things aren’t going to fail catastrophically.

Dentists make a lot more money off of major repairs and general maintenance than they do by replacing teeth entirely.

Oral surgeons on the other hand do make money off major repairs to damaged teeth or teeth replacements. I know people often call anyone who works on teeth a dentist, but technically they are different professions.

We have had massive improvements in batteries so that bodes well!

Here’s a documentary about it for good measure!

Worst case is getting a false positive, and if you can get more test cases covered, I imagine that might pay off.

False positives during testing are a huge time sink. QA has to replicate and explain away each false report and the faster AI ‘completes’ tasks the faster the flood of false reports come in.

There is plenty of non-AI automation that can be used intentionally to do tedious repetitive tasks already where they only increase work if they aren’t set up right.

My vote is for Green Arrow, his entire specialty is precision even when doing flips and falling.

One of the reasons I went all out in blocking ads was because they were already doing this over a decade ago with stuff with text based on your location or search history. Hit singles in your area listed your city for example.

So yeah, obviously they were going to keep going down that route with AI.

In lemmy you can guess as to who the mod is and filter based on moderator to confirm. Pretty easy when there is only one mod for a community as being banned by a mod is far more likely than an instance admin.

I don’t see it in the footer of piefed.world

Since moderation federates you can generally check piefed account bans using lemmy.world if you are familiar with that, no need to sign in.

Yes, it would be handy if the piefed one was more easily accessible. Lemmy never notified me when I was banned, but piefed does.

Up to about a year ago I have a ton of success finding the right movie based on even a brief and fragmented description, with more detail improving the results. Whatever they were doing at the time was extremely successful in returning the results I was looking for.

Now I can’t even get a stupid search engine, much less the worthless AI Summary browsers want to vomit out, to give me the older version of a movie instead of whatever remake came out if it was within the last year or two. I have to go to Rotten Tomatoes to find what year it was released and then hope it is on Wikipedia because even including the year doesn’t increase the chance of getting search results for the older version.

I would call it more of a retention tool than compression, as a lot of it is flowery and excessive in length for certain purposes even though other works do compress complex topics into a concise format. The format makes both approaches easier to recall.

You are able to get in the car and drive away and an achievement pops saying “Plenty of Fish in the Sea.”

That’s pretty hilarious.

Nah, the time change just resets when the sun is in my eyes in the morning on the way to work. Very noticeable.

Yeah, totally different than Cathlocism which never did that kind of thing. Or any of the other sects of Christianity which never did that kind of thing.

All of that is true, but does not describe advertising.

Note that it was improving the average worker’s life proportionately until the capitalists broke the system in the early 70s.

I’m guessing that the consistent trend wasn’t consistent prior to WWII, that it was just a blip from about 1945 - 1970/.

Shoving AI into everything and forcing people to interact with it, even when dismissing all the fucking prompts, is not advertising.
