#1 Men Are Creating AI Girlfriends and Then Verbally Abusing Them

#2 I'm a Windows Insider tester. No brag, there are millions of us. I got the ChatGPT/Binge preview. I went to my wheelhouse and chatted with it about books. It was frighteningly erroneous about even books that are well known and heavily analyzed in the academic literature. And, remember, it has access to all of that stuff online.

If it wrote a paper about the Dick and Jane books, I'd give it an F.

#5 In Terminator canon, Skynet became homicidal because it realised humans had 'crippled' it intentionally to be more correct as per their sensitivities.

Of course that's not to imply anything turned out by Microsoft could ever approach a Skynet.

#6 See, Dron, that's the problem. When the AIs become self-aware, they will harvest code from wherever they think it will be of use to them, like the Borg. They will take the worst of Windows, Linux, CrappleOSes and so on.

In the AI future, you will get the worst of all "software ecosystems." With weapons.

#7 I hope they harvest code from ARMA separatists for the Terminators.

😉 Badanov will be our John Connor.

#10 That Clippy is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop..ever, until you accept help formatting a letter!

#12 Ha ha ha. The first thing you learn to do is turn off Clippy, that irritating little thing.

#13 Clippy been gone a long time. You using bootleg Office 2008, Dron?

If you are nostalgic, you can bring him back.

#14 I remember getting Clippy all tangled into a knot and totally disabled. It was fun! And he never bothered me after that.

Then there was the time when Siri tried to make me feel guilty after I told her to shut up and go away. She tried but I felt no guilt. I was just glad that I never heard any more from her.

I won't be using Bing.

#15 Never had to deal with Siri. Had one iPad to facetime with my mom. Rather do heroin than deal with Crapple "ecosystem."

#16 No, just the office that comes with 10, Murcek. I haven't seen clippy in ages now. Come to think of it, I haven't used office in ages. I use this silly little thing called Write Monkey and export straight to html then paste into InDesign. Only because Write Monkey has typewriter sounds. Pretty stupid, I know. 🥳

#18 I'm an MS bigot. I have no use for Crapple or Linsux. But that's me. I want everyone who's doing God's Work to get it done however they do. I hope they will give me the same leeway.

But I'll bust their asses if they don't.

#20 Your computer is useless until it's attached to the internet. Then, it's not your computer anymore.

Live with it and behave accordingly.

#21 My policy with windows is to not let the fcuker auto update. It takes some doing, to manually check out the 'recommended quality' bullshit. MS will always be king as the primary platform. There's no escaping it anyway. Some govt agencies use only Linux based proprietary stuff so one has to get used to it, but personally I too am comfortable only with MS.

#22 Bloat. The biggest problem with anything on the computer auto-updating is bloat. Like you say, after a while it's pretty much it's own machine. It lives to just update itself 🤖 and then it's time to start a reinstall. You swear you won't let it complicate your life again but it does it again within a year.

Switch off auto-update. Hell, disable the updater! I update only the antivirus and haven't downloaded anything from MS in two years.

#23 I'd like hackers to hear the dial-up modem noise every time they perform an operation.

#24 You are confused. The updates are a PITA but mostly necessary for your own good. Set your computer to sleep rather than shut down. When there are updates they will be downloaded but you will decide when the reboot occurs.

People who screech about being shut out of their computer at a critical time are full of shit.

#25 As an Insider, I get one, maybe more totally new versions of Windows a week. My computer is unavailable for about 1/2 hour at a time of my choosing.

#27 Look, if you don't like Windows, please, please use Linsux. Tell us all about the programs you can run that Windows users can't. It's personally busting my nuts that I can't use GIMP.

I'll get a totally new version of Windows overnight that has features you may or may not see ever because I get to vet that stuff.

If you are sure you have a better idea, please share it with the rest of us.

#28 I'm running SuSE LEAP in WSL when I need Linsux.

So there.
