  • I really doubt that… Why would they go through the cost of producing a plastic version of their product when they could simply use the actual article? I worked in a cheese shop for years, these particular wheels are VERY durable - I legitimately can’t think of any benefit in using a fake cheese wheel, aside from TheTetrapod’s correct comment about these wheels sweating oil (which makes most people’s skin breakout into acne) which can be easily and immediately solved by using a rag.

    edit: and again, having worked closely with this exact cheese many many many times, that is exactly what they look like as whole wheels. I have zero reason to believe this is plastic.



  • It’s really simple: There are a number of use cases where generative AI is a legitimate boon. But there are countless more use cases where AI is unnecessary and provides nothing but bloat, maybe novelty at best.

    Generative AI is neither the harbinger or doom, nor the savior of humanity. It’s a tool. Just a tool. We’re just caught in this weird moment where people are acting like it’s an all-encompassing multipurpose tool right now instead of understanding it as the limited use specific tool it actually is.






  • I see your point and I agree, except that that isn’t what these headlines are saying. Granted, perhaps that’s just the standard issue of sensationalism and clickbait rather than being specific to this issue, but the point remains that while the articles may be as you claim, the headlines are still presented instead as “A chainsaw can’t even drive a simple nail into wood without issue and that’s why you should be angry anytime you hear a chainsaw.” I dunno. I’m just so exhausted.


  • Anyone else tired of these clickbait headlines and studies about LLM which center around fundamental misunderstandings of how LLMs work, or is it just me?

    “ChatGPT didn’t get a single answer on my algebra exam correct!!” Well yes, because LLMs work on predictive generation, not traditional calculation, so of course they’re not going to do math or anything else with non-language-based patterns properly. That’s what a calculator is for.

    All of these articles are like complaining that a chainsaw is an inefficient tool for driving nails into wood. Yeah; because that’s not the job this tool was made for.

    And it’s so stupid because there are ton of legitimate criticisms about AI and the AI rollout to be had; we don’t have to look for disingenuous cases of misuse for critique.

    Boring pop culture opinions that nobody actually likes but which wear the cadence of interesting content so people unthinkingly clap along out of habit even though nobody is actually edified by it or sincerely enjoying it.

    Lol, when I describe the song to people what I say is almost verbatim: “it sounds like they stumbled upon one really solid guitar riff and were like, fuck it, play that shit for the next 4 minutes! Umm is that gonna be enough for a song? Who gives a shit!”

    So yeah, the riff is pretty good
