Y'know, I had no idea that GOP stands for Group Of Pictures in your post. I'm that blind when it comes to video processing. Goes to show how important context is. I did bother to google a bit, and now your post makes sense to me. Most people are not gonna bother, for very unfortunate reasons."A Matroska `Cluster` and `Block` are not at the same conceptual level as H.264’s GOP and keyframes.
UEFI GOP with VBIOSMost of my life, I mentally associated the GOP acronym with Grand Old Party, a.k.a. the Republican Party of the United States. Today is the first time I learned that GOP stands for something else, as well.
It's usually a 50-50 bet as to whether or not something that simple would actually work. I do remember that back in the 80s, that was pretty much the standard way of cheering somebody up even if the comment did not solve the underlying problem. These days, cheering somebody up is more complicated. But even with that, I'd say that a 50% chance of a simple solution working is still better than the slim ( < 1% ) chances of actually getting the underlying situation resolved...For what it's worth, I've tried chatGPT on occasion, usually for something where I web searched and couldn't find the answer. I didn't keep track, but its answers were sometimes right and sometimes useless. Not stupidly useless, but for example, saying do X, Y, and Z and this should work, and it didn't work. Also, with the hope that this might make the OP chuckle, years ago, a friend and I, walking back to the train station from work, were discussing self help books and my friend said, Wouldn't it be great if you could just say to someone don't be depressed, and they said, OK, and they were all better? As we walked, he mentioned something that was getting him down, and so, when we got to our respective trains, I said, And hey, don't be depressed, and he said OK, and started bouncing around as if he were suddenly happy. Sigh, writing about it, it doesn't sound funny, but it cracked me up and had me smiling all the way home. This happened in the 80's, so, I guess it must have made a lasting impression on me, as I still remember it.
I dont agree with you. you follow your time. you are not special, and being stupid is not way to go. how to know how to say that without all the connotation associated to that kind of literaly basic statement.What's alarming is that he just kind of hit and run, didn't really follow up on the thread at all.
It's depressing. It was already depressing when it was just facebook and myspace coopting people's brains. Then on top of that the magic mirrors people have been glued to for decades now, even out on the streets ("smart" telephones). Then old people, who are supposed to be the ones giving these processes drag, being the first to jump in head first. Then the magic friends (autogenerated programs).
I can't imagine the alienation for someboduy lucky enough to retain actual humanity into their adolescence.
On the other hand, for the brave souls willing to grasp it, the possibilities now outweigh the possibilities of every previous point in history combined. Steely hearts are needed.
Go do something forbidden somewhere. It will clear your thoughts.
Ummm... Might want to hold on. It is true that OP has only one post in this entire thread. And yeah, the rest of us kind of latched on to that, and made a whole conversation out of it, even with some posts having some rather disagreeable content.I dont agree with you. you follow your time. you are not special, and being stupid is not way to go. how to know how to say that without all the connotation associated to that kind of literaly basic statement.
I'm sorry, it simply seemed to me like you were responding to the last few lines, rather than the entire post.if im speaking with an annarchist I not gonna hold anything
Let them undergo rehabilitation. Being obsessed with something, as far as I know, is a pathology of the conscious/subconscious. With such illnesses, they shouldn't control you. Such illnesses are treatable. And there are excellent clinics in Israel.Unfortunately, our executives at work are obsessed with ai.
And YOUR life experience didn't help you? It's a basic question. Simply basic. Coffee addiction is a chemical matter, just like other powders and liquids. There are thousands of videos on the topic on YouTube. Why would you ask an artificial and ugly dummy?I asked it about quitting caffeine cold-turkey;
Let them automate THEIR salaries and THEIR bonuses. Introduce mathematical "coefficients" into this parasitic management and calculate what they REALLY generate in terms of USEFUL work, not posturing and cheap show-offs. This can be calculated without AI or algorithms.If they are obsessed with it, it is probably because they can smell a future where they pay some Hindu labour farm $1000 a month to manage what used to take a 8-9 figure salary management pool. And they are probably not wrong, much of what modern day management does can be automated.
I'm not a digital appendage of an AI. I won't need such a job. Even a well-paid one. I'll find one that pays less, but I won't become a slave with an AI anal probe.Like telling employees to be punctual, to not overstep bounds of their role, be able to dole out punishments and rewards (like firing and promotions), recognizing when workplace harassment is taking place, recognizing when an employee is just not trainable? Or recognizing a skill that would be quite valuable if used right?
Amazon? Walmart? Never. Never. I've watched dozens of videos of how they treat workers there.As a subset of the tasks traditionally delegated to management, I believe the answer is yes, all of those things. Not to the satisfaction of subjective ideas, but to the maximally efficient way to achieve whatever the autogenerated program's management goals are.
Have you ever stepped inside an Amazon warehouse?

You've left ANALOGUE people out of the equation. There are "digital avatars" (outcasts, marginalized individuals), and then there are PEOPLE. System infrastructure—yes, serious stuff, but there are things beyond systems analysis, approach, or algorithm.The systems infrastructure will organically accomplish all HR goals, as well as many others.

Somebody still needs to organize a bunch of people to cooperate and get stuff done. Left to their own devices, by themselves, would people have the self-discipline to even dig a ditch? Working as a team of 2, even, that's far more effective than digging a ditch by yourself. Management is still a skill that not many people have. I certainly don't see myself telling people what to do. But assembling capable people, telling them stuff that gets them sold on putting in the effort - that does get results. Just look at Pep Guardiola. He was an OK player, but he's a fantastic coach who gets people to want to play on the team he's coaching. With a crappy coach who can't manage personalities and abilities, even a bunch of very talented players end up being a pretty crappy team that is easy to beat.I'm not a digital appendage of an AI.

Using ChatGPT for literally everything?
There have been stories of prompt engineering that got ChatGPT to self-identify as a woman.
There have been stories of divorces where the bone of contention was giving attention to ChatGPT over real-life in-home partner. Same thing can be said about Facebook/Meta and plain surfing the Internet.
ChatGPT is a thirsty, expensive robot that only exists because of some silicon from Intel and AMD. Yes, it's a robot that took over OP's father, unfortunately.
I'd say, how about tearing the guy away from the computer/phone and having an intense workout followed by a really nice meal? If possible, OP should be the one in charge, but prioritize the benefits (workout and meal) over being the one in charge.
Maybe in the distant future.

That amounts to digital version of prostitution, unfortunately - minus the actual sex. Except that in a digital world, it's easier to track individual users, tally them up, and realize just how low the humanity has sunk - just going by the sheer numbers of people who actually use those AI companion services.There are also stories of a company that makes "ai companions" that have either shut down (shutting down the "companion"), causing a mental breakdown of, say, one's best friend dying, or been acquired by another (less moral) company who tweaks the model to constantly manipulate their human companions. The most innocuous example would be to manipulate them into higher and higher subscription levels. There are also far more nefarious levels of manipulation... Neither bodes well for society as a whole.
That reminds me of the Tamagotchi , which was reported to have made some small children cry inconsolably when their "virtual pet" died eventually. I think "AI companions" first appeared back in the 1960s (within the limits of the technology at that time), with the ELIZA program.There are also stories of a company that makes "ai companions" that have either shut down (shutting down the "companion"), causing a mental breakdown of, say, one's best friend dying
I remember the Tamagotchi craze, I was around for that. And my take was, "Come on, that's just immature minds of kids if they cry over something like that! It's a freakin' game! People should learn to police their own behavior and emotional outbursts! And parents should be able to teach their kids some self-discipline, and to tell them that there's more to life than a freakin' game."That reminds me of the Tamagotchi , which was reported to have made some small children cry inconsolably when their "virtual pet" died eventually.

Thanks for reminded me of my "conversations" with Elisa on ZX Spectrum, which all went more or less like in the screenshot bellow. Basically, simple parser that reformulated what you typed last into next question.I think "AI companions" first appeared back in the 1960s (within the limits of the technology at that time), with the ELIZA program.
