Many US states have sales tax, but I don’t think it counts as VAT.

Thanks, I’ve updated it.

If you like that thought, you’ll love the ship-shipping ship, shipping shipping ships!

Weren’t the trade federation and the separatists the same thing?

Or am I mixing up my ep 1 and ep 2 names?

It’s been a while, and tbh I’m not eager to go back and rewatch them.

IIRC they called the bad guys the Separatists in that movie.

One of my go to sites has a jump to recipe button…works on my computer but fails on my phone 😔

The recipes are good enough to put up with the inconvenience

Hard disagree. No books should ever be burned. Don’t legitimize the practice.

Eh, I don’t think it’s an outright scam, rather “just” a bad investment / overhype. The language model programs do have some real uses, after all.

It doesn’t have to be a good implementation, it only has to be good enough for a demo to get the C-suite saying “Oh, slap a chatbot on there and then fire half the department that handles this now”.

AI isn’t destroying any jobs. Greedy “leaders” in the C-suite are cutting jobs using AI as an excuse.

It’s a sick joke at our expense.

Joke’s on them, my phone only cost $300

Thanks, I hate it.

Joke’s on you, I never used that word at all.

People at my office have a bot attend meetings. AFAIK it does speech recognition and generates notes from the meeting. Sembly maybe? I’d have to look again to be sure.

Need?

Seems logical. Glue, gluant, sticky.

I hadn’t expected a dictionary search to come up empty, though.

What is gluant? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.

We have them where I work. I’ve used the standing function, oh, maybe 2-3 times. Is that enough to count?

I was going to post to mention “contiguous”, but you beat me to it

The technology isn’t there to accurately assess damage. It’s there to give Hertz an excuse to charge you extra money. It’s working exactly as the ghouls in the C-suite like.
