  • Offline indexing has been working just fine for me for years. I don’t think I’ve ever needed to search for something esoteric like “the report with the blue header and the photo of 3 goats having an orgy”, if I really can’t remember the file name, or what it’s associated with in my filing system, I can still remember some key words from the text.

    Better indexing / automatic tagging of my photos could be nice, but that’s a rare occurrence, not a “I NEED a button for this POS on my keyboard and also want it always listening to everything I do” kind of situation





  • Maybe I’m just getting old, but I honestly can’t think of any practical use case for AI in my day-to-day routine.

    ML algorithms are just fancy statistics machines, and to that end, I can see plenty of research and industry applications where large datasets need to be assessed (weather, medicine, …) with human oversight.

    But for me in my day to day?

    I don’t need a statistics bot making decisions for me at work, because if it was that easy I wouldn’t be getting paid to do it.

    I don’t need a giant calculator telling me when to eat or sleep or what game to play.

    I don’t need a Roomba with a graphics card automatically replying to my text messages.

    Handing over my entire life’s data just so a ML algorithm might be able to tell me what that one website I visited 3 years ago that sold kangaroo testicles was isn’t a filing system. There’s nothing I care about losing enough to go the effort of setting up copilot, but not enough to just, you know, bookmark it, or save it with a clear enough file name.

    Long rant, but really, what does copilot actually do for me?






  • Idk if it makes me elderly, a child, or a non-gamer, but I fucking loved BOTW/TOTK. Nintendo, through those games and countless more, have repeatedly proven frame rates and fidelity aren’t what make games great. Sure, some games (especially competitive ones) benefit from better performance, but just as many get by on their creativity, story, etc.
