O-oh, it's that book publisher, I know that! 😏

Fucking an AI is better than… not fucking an AI! Why refuse? 😏

Then ChatGPT came along and blown them out of their water — it's like they had no research in that field at all. With Microsoft it's particularly surprising — they have completely shutdown Cortana and replaced it with GPT-based COPilot despite having been experimenting with neural networks for nearly two decades — they've had NN-based image recognition services you could subscribe to, but somehow not LLMs 🤷

@Forestofenchantment @Tony
AFAIR there were some easter eggs like that, but normally it wouldn't — it wasn't even THAT good yet, couldn't even hold conversation on ChatGPT level.
I'm kinda surprised even: MS with Cortana, Apple with Siri and Amazon with Alexa — they already had things to work with, people liked those assistants, but after some time they've stopped developing this direction entirely.

@Tony
You could have "Cortona GF" in Windows 8 — but then they got it removed as with every other good thing there ever was in Windows.
And with Windows 11, they've come full circle — it's Windows XP again, but with more stupid ads, more shit being forced on you and now with "AI" shit too 😩

@Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab
Indeed it is!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_(computer)
"The name is short for Macintosh (its official name until 1999), a reference to a type of apple called McIntosh"

You probably knew this already, but I always keep forgetting about it myself and this thread somehow got this cog moving in my brain 😅

@Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab
Funny enough, but I think that Macintosh is ACTUALLY named after a variety of apple (as in the fruit) 🤣

@Tony
That, on the left, is me after a couple of 24-packs of beer 🥴

@RustyCrab
That's what I keep telling youngsters!
My IBM® CountPad™ powered by Abacus™ M processor is still good enough for the most tasks life throws at me 🧓

In Syria it probably is! In Moscow it's 6 AM already, almost half past six even!

Seemingly having licked everything off one's paws^W hands: "O-oh, a clean keyboard? 😮 Time to hit the Fediverse!"

@santiago
Me as well — I doubt it would be all roses in the coming decade and maybe more, then maybe — there is hope.
But thinking that it would be better with the dictator is still wrong — the longer they stay in power the worse it gets after they fall.

I think I know what you're talking about — like the vintage-futurist art style Kim Possible uses. I think it's heaps better than this! I also like it, unlike… that thing in the opening post! 😖
And yes, the hands — this is just sickening! 🤢
