In Danish you might say “that’s not something to yell hurrah over” or “that’s not exactly something you would write home about”

That, and access to the nuclear codes…

Same in Danish - but in a glass store

I always use “book” as an insult. Especially since my phone autocorrect was updated…

Copy pasta without source. Book! https://xkcd.com/1162/

Rounded to the closest million that actually checks out…

Does it come with a subwoofer and doubles as a coffee maker? In that case no…

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig…

The useless/useful dichotomy is kinda misguided because that judgement will almost always depend on cost and we don’t have a good understanding of actual costs of running these models. I have copilot enabled in my IDE, and it saves me from a few searches here and there and autocompletes stuff that would have taken me some time to type. So not exactly useless, but right now it’s being payed for by VC’s who expect a return on their investment, so what does that look like? Before we know, it’s hard to say whether these things are relevant

Once again “the earth” is supposedly synonymous with “that one country in North America”…

What I learned from this is never let a physics major cook you dinner, unless you want charcoal for chicken (200C !?!)

There’s a common misconception among boomers and gen x that “digital natives” like gen z have a god-given tech proficiency. However, there’s nothing about being born with a smartphone in your hand that teaches you anything about tech.

It’s not like people are getting better at changing oil as car ownership becomes more common, right?
