always called him the worlds biggest attention whore, I’ve never seen anyone soak up so much media attention by constantly announcing stupid or idiotic things
I don’t understand how the heck Bunnings manages to have so much public good will.
For me:
I go into giant warehouse size of small city
find what i want, price is decent
i go through self checkout and leave
👍
everytime I've been has been fine? except when I look for a small widget that has 10 in stock on the website but there's none on the shelf because scumbags have stolen them all but 99% of the time it's fine
companies are getting ahead of themselves about the opportunity to fire human employees
But then if they produce garbage with AI people will buy the non-garbage product
Either it produces something of value or it doesn't, if it's producing garbage, lowering output, etc then it's not a threat to our jobs because most people don't like garbage, if it's producing genuine value then it will be.
few niche uses? it has heaps of uses that aren’t niche at all

perplexity.ai is a better search engine than any current ones and that’s about as mainstream a use as you can get
I basically only see men attacked for
Hmm maybe this might help (it came out 3 days before the election) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSw04BwQy4M
What do you mean? Do you have examples?
Okay, but then, why is AI useful? If you’re going to look at sources anyway, what’s the point?
Because it summarises the results, it's like a search engine but better
The rest? It’s wasteful and it won’t last.
I'm using it for coding in a way that it isn't going anywhere, I'm using LM Studio with Qwen2.5 Coder and Mistral 7b, these are offline models so even if Alibaba or Mistral go broke they'll continue to work.
Example of what it looks like:
It seems like lots of people are using it in a similar way, no longer searching the web and clicking on sometimes 100 results trying to figure out a problem but instead using AI to answer questions:
While originally it was constantly making mistakes there's now Chain of Thought and code sandboxing, it has gotten so much better so quickly
So now I've got: web search summarisation, a far better reddit/forum search and summarisation, text to image generation and personal coding assistant, each of these in and of themselves would be an amazing program used by millions and that's ignoring using it for assistance with language learning:

song making
etcetc
If it wasn't for the web being an absolute social media shithole with no moderation resulting in AI slop being pasted all over the place, AI would genuinely be the greatest tech revolution I've seen since the iphone.
clearly a play by the sick leaders of the state
Yeah... the sick police...?
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said she had "grave concerns" about the risk industrial action could pose to those "trapped in the city" after New Year's Eve celebrations at Sydney Harbour.
"I haven't ruled out that I will recommend to government that we cancel the fireworks," she said.
"It's that serious because 250,000 people ... come in during the day, they spend all day in the city but when it's time to go, when the fireworks are over, the job is to get them out safely and quickly and if there's no transport, we can't do that."
typical police wanting to ensure people can get home safely and quickly, and not be trapped in the city... unreal hey guys? 🙄
