Here’s a recent one:

Oh. Oh no…

Not my meme, but I have read stories of multiple people trying this and failing spectacularly. It wouldn’t surprise me if this actually happened.

I will be so impressed if they manage that. It would be a day 1 buy for me at that price.

It’s possible I’m just interpreting the quote wrong. I figured they were making the distinction between “console” and “entry level PC” as a way to say “The price isn’t set yet, but don’t expect this to be $400-500”

Since they’ve said it’s basically an entry level gaming PC that will cost more than a console, I think the >700, <$1000 speculation is most likely.

It’s such weird behavior. I was troubleshooting something yesterday and asked an AI about it, and it gave me the solution that it claims it has used for the same issue for 15 years. I corrected it “You’re not real and certainly were not around 15 years ago”, and it did the whole “you’re right!” thing, but then also immediately went back to speaking the same way.

I once saw a list of instructions being passed around that were intended to be tacked on to any prompt: e.g. “don’t speculate, don’t estimate, don’t fill in knowledge gaps”

But you’d think it would make more sense to add that into the weights rather than putting it in your prompt and hoping it works. As it stands, it sometimes feels like making a wish on the monkey paw and trying to close a bunch of unfortunate cursed loopholes.

Yeah, you just have to practice a little skepticism.

I don’t know what its actual error rate is, but if we say hypothetically that it gives bad info 5% the time: you wouldn’t want a calculator or an encyclopedia that was wrong that often, but you would really value an advisor that pointed you toward the right info 95% of the time.

I’ll be there soon.

That’s where I am, although it’s only been a few months. It’s nice.

Reminds me of:

Thanks! I wonder if I will ever reach that level of privacy paranoia. At the rate that I’m going, maybe 5 years.

“His fucking kernel is deblobbed too?”

As a noob, I genuinely can’t tell if this is real jargon or not

Nothing beats those old ascii art guides. When you’re playing an old game, you know they won’t let you down.

The most alluring of smells.

Ooh, Lenovo is a much bigger deal.

Some companies sell Linux prebuilts, like System76, but that’s pretty niche for the average person to even know to search for.

Now, if stores like Best Buy had a section for Linux prebuilts, that would reach a lot of people.

An argument could probably be made for the other way around too.
