I can attest, having had a Zune for a few years. The software was totally incompatible with the Music Player stuff

The Chinese developed an AI model by reading people's emails, telling everyone that they did it for a fraction of the cost in a fraction of the time as the big AI companies... the US stock market freaked out... and my 401k dropped the equivalent of multiples months of salary.
Fucking Chinese.

It's only trained up to Oct 2023 and it can't access the internet (I just asked it). Garbage.

Ask it what it knows about Taiwan. The propaganda response isn't the good part. Click to another tab for a little while, click back it's empty. I've read people mentioning this regarding other sensitive topics.

And the Monday the news came out about Deep Seek, Nvidia stock (which I own) took a huge dive because people went into “full regard” mode.
If your main selling point of your AI API is talking then it’s just stupid. Seriously, it’s just advanced Dr SBAITSO for DOS 5. I don’t even use ChatGPT for this reason. Animated graphics are kinda cool, adding raytracing and other effects to old games is really cool, and there could be other cooler applications perhaps outer space related. One dude I work with said his ai smart code editor told him what I was about to try was going to not work and my simple editor did not. Ok cool but that saves 5 minutes for a build and me to glance at the output log to correct.
Recently I thought about leveraging AI for stock price predictions. That lasted maybe an hour. Why? Because you take the same datasets and from what I’ve seen an AI bot either gives the same or vaguer answers as your own research or diving thru a couple of other common stock watch tools.

You got it Jizaboz, AI is not an advantage over anyone else who can use it, everyone can use it. The advantage is the unique things you can ask of it.
I mostly use GPT4 to summarize things I don't want to read or now it can search the Internet it works for things I want to look up but don't want to skim a bunch of Google results. I used it to make variations of an email for a campaign im starting.
Yes, AI is going to radically alter what I do (sales) and I'm not sure if it will be good for me in the end but I figure if I stay on top of the tech I can hopefully stay ahead of the wave till I can retire at 80 (hopefully).

M-F Windows 11 just blue screened on me for no reason. Machine is a month old.
Dicked around with all the "recovery options" for an hour, no joy.
Installing 10 from a flash drive.
Luckily I have 10 on a flash drive because 11 sure as hell didn't come on physical media
Updates (or downdates) to follow
Edit: the hardware manufacturer for my all-in-one pc has their driver downloads on Google Drive. A free Google Drive account with limits on downloads. That's pretty sketchy. I blame myself for buying an Amazon deal.

Now this is interesting. I got it Dec. 28th. It failed utterly on Feb. 8th. I removed 11 and was able to install 10 the next day. It worked fine last Sunday then it failed utterly again yesterday. I went to return it only to see the return window for this item closed Jan31st. Fuckers.
Well, let me just take it apart and have a look around, re-seat the SSD and the ram. Now it's working again. So I dunno.
I still can't install the Ethernet drivers. I gotta futz around some more.
