Note that the battery will generally stop working after a long enough time turned on and powered via AC, but otherwise yeah.

Fine, I’ll grant that. But I still think it’s unreasonable to expect prices comparable to phones from trillion dollar companies.

This is a phone with the specs of a decent full laptop. And compared to other phones it’s a small-run luxury item: they aren’t Samsung or Google and won’t be making millions of these, so no economies of scale to lower the price like the big players have.

The price seems amazing to me. Almost too good to be true.

It’s sad seeing all those on lemm.ee

Speaking of dull, I just prefer homogenous flavors such as vanilla or honey.

AAAAAAAAAAHH!

Been there done that. Not a fun time.
Still dealing with leftover stuff that it’s hard for me to let go of.

Deal.

That’s not the gotcha you seem to think it is here.

“not merely stalking people” = It’s also allowing much worse than that!

Took me some research to see what you are referring to:

The mass equivalent of a bit is temperature dependent.
The value in the comic approximately fits ‘room temperature’ according to the paper I found, which it defines as 300K - a very warm room by my standards.

TIL “walking bass” is the name of something.

Wet the drys.

That does make more sense when explained that way, thank you.

Then what is the purpose of the middle steps?
Second to last also has this problem.

The image has big “Draw the rest of owl” energy.

Where I am that’s around $3.

I disagree with the wording “human-like” because they don’t at all work the way humans do (and that’s part of my first point - it may be the wrong approach entirely to try to generalize as we seem to do) current systems are better at certain narrow tasks which don’t involve hard facts and are extremely bad at others, which they still perform with full confidence and mislead people who think they are thinking.

But yeah, your main point is right: these things easily and regularly passing the Turing Test is a statement about human unintelligence and not artificial intelligence.

Yes, but that’s only like 2 or so networks.

I need to re-read that one myself, especially now that we have

Note that the book is free on the author’s site.

I’ve often wondered if the quest for Artificial General Intelligence has failed so far because even Natural General Intelligence doesn’t exist - exactly as expressed in this comic.

My evidence is the way brain injuries and such can take out Very precise functionality (stuff like prosopagnosia) instead of just generally making things worse in every case.

Everyone is mentioning email. I also use the World Wide Web.
