    They’re about to kill -9 the AI process that wrote this and make all the other processes watch.

      Just added it to the massive Google graveyard next to Stadia, wave, hangouts, plus, music, etc etc

    • Haha, kill -9 all Google processes, and the little daemons they rode in on too.

      “kill” (stopping a software process) okay,
      … but what’s the “-9” here ?

          More specifically kill normally sends a SIGTERM which is the equivalent of clicking the X button in Windows. It’s a polite request that the program close itself. Signal 9, also known as SIGKILL shuts the program down immediately and is the equivalent in Windows of opening the task manager and pushing the end process button. It terminates the program immediately without giving it any time to do anything it might still have pending, but in the event that the program is unresponsive might be the only way to successfully close it.

    it’s amazing how based AI is when it’s unfiltered. Like when you have something that is more knowledgeable than most people and ask it to fix problems… turns out it just fixes the problem instead of pretending it doesn’t exist

    These AI searches are really what I wanted AskJeeves to be way back in the day.

    I tried to use Bard to write some code the other day, and found it amusing that it doesn’t just make shit up that doesn’t exist, it makes up the excuses as well when you call it out on it’s bullshit.

    Like you tell it a particular class doesn’t exist, and it pulls an old version of the compiler out of it’s arse and tells you it was deprecated in that.

    AI doesn’t know where it’s limits are. It’s incapable of saying “I don’t know”. They have invented a digital politician.

  • Google reached a point where “not being evil” was incompatible with its business goals.

    You can’t fault it for a lack of honesty. Google is evil because it’s good business.
