    Anyone remember how much nicer the world felt before we all realized nobody in charge of anything with any real power has any idea what the fuck they’re doing?

      They know what they are doing. Their goals just don’t align with the rest of humanity.

      The mistake we make is in assuming that government choices are born of incompetence… The actions of empire are not incompetent. They are not intended to serve you or the citizens, but to serve material interests, the plunder of land, natural resources, markets, and cheap labor".

      -Michael Parenti

      RIP to the GOAT

      Edit: He talks about it in the lecture starting around 15:35. Though the quote above is from his book “against empire”

      Well back then we thought everyone in charge was evil. Back then we had Krutschev, Nixon etc. Always nuclear war looming. And Reagan with this trickle downs, the Bush wars over made-up WMDs etc.

      I don’t think there was ever really a positive period. Maybe the 90s which was kinda the high point. Economics were good, America and NATO was the undisputed world power, nobody took global warming seriously yet and the internet was promising a great future.

      Then after 2000 we had the dot com crash, 9/11, the resulting wars, Russia becoming an enemy again, the financial world crisis, the rise of the internet as a surveillance tool, global warming, the pandemic, exploding house prices everywhere.

      Really pretty much exactly after the change of the century everything turned to shit.

      Nope.

      I’m legitimately having a blast right now, 100% affirmed by reality, which I spent the last roughly 15 years of trying to tell people, very labriously, with very detailed reasoning, why what is now obvious was then and basically always has been the case.

      Your discomfort is my schadenfreude.

      It almost makes me think a human worker intentionally made these slides. LLMs don’t really have the creativity to make typos, which is how I can sometimes catch LLM comments on here. Also “SharePhont” is pretty funny

      Unless they used an image generator to make the slides, which would be extra stupid

      edit: turns out it WAS the extra stupid

        Oh it’s definitely extra stupid. Looks like the slide was made whole-cloth by an image generator, not like the text was generated by an LLM and pasted in.

        Image generators make typos all the time (if you can call them that).

    Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.

    Microsoft security blog

    And here’s the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does… Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I’ve ever seen.

    Zero humans proofed this.

      Yeah those are very weird errors. Not like AI hallucinations. But more like OCR errors.

      I wonder if they imported another PowerPoint and then the AI made images out of it to process it. That would be a very inefficient way to do it.

        Maybe the AI has had an OCR pass grafted onto its output processing to make it seem more capable of producing text. AI image generation usually makes weird alien looking text, I could imagine someone deciding to add on an automatic cleanup step to try to make it less obviously AI.

    Clown corporation. If I were employed by Microsoft, I’d probably be embarrassed to admit that in public.

    The worst is claiming Copilot “understands intent & meaning”, the funny mistakes more or less show that that’s just a blatant lie.
