I just hate that the recipe list, instructions, and the other relevant information are in three different places.

Do you understand how much roads actually cost? Do you understand how bad the ROI on road expansions is?

Besides, I will 100% take a little extra time to not drive. Google Maps will give you a door-to-door driving time which doesn’t include finding parking and walking from said parking and for the metro it gives the longest time so you can pman for waiting for the train+transfers but you can regularly go much quicker than that. I own car, I own a sportscar, and I only drive it when I absolutely need to which often means driving it just so it doesn’t sit still for too long and gather rust. Plus, a monthly metro/bus pass costs less than my insurance on a car which they know I only drive around 5,000km/year and then there’s gas, tires and oil, and any maintenance(which I do myself to save money).

Public transit is awesome and it works. We know this because we can see it working even in rural Europe, places very similar in many ways to North America. The US and Canada spread their cities out in incredibly ineffective ways and they aggressively shoot down public transit expansion. Montréal and New York are cities in North America that prove that there is no magical anti-transit field on the continent. Shit works, and it’s awesome.

TL;DR the only reason that your public transit is bad is because all levels of your governments actively resist the tried-and-true methods that make it work while burning billions of dollars on car-centric projects which are shown to never have any lasting effect on traffic(we’re talking a year or less) due to induced demand.

It’s not about the book, it’s the profits will go to evil villains and no one needs to see this so bad that it’s worth it.

They say capitalism can be managed by customers controlling their spending but people regularly put their own convenience above everyone else and so that never happens. Nestle doesn’t have to be good because people will still buy their garbage even if they printed “we stole the water to make this” right on the label.

It’s just a TV show. If you can’t live without it then you’re completely broken.

Marketing and advertising are like enchantment spells in fantasy. Theoretically they have beneficial uses but for some reason the only thing we can think to do with them is try our best to remove consent and be generally intrusive.

I just don’t touch it. I don’t even get the desire to use it.

I’m a young millenial and I definitely know people using ChatGPT. They shouldn’t be, but they are.

They can also control the US by just denying them vehicles. Hondas are incredibly popular vehicles, and removing them and their parts from the market would piss a LOT of people off.

Capitalism is where the money is the important part and has the power yet whenever these corporations find themselves in a position where the system could actually function in some vaguely beneficial way for society they still fall all over themselves to suck off whatever shitstain is causing problems.

I hope that one day we fix our bullshit and stop relying on corporations to save us. This should should be regulated to hell and back by representatives and their teams who are at worst just mediocre at their jobs.

While we’re dreaming and all that I’m gunna high ball it.

I’d take all the people who want car-centric infrastructure a lot more seriously if they put any effort into it.

I mean definitely mistakes happen, when we start saying that everything is on purpose that’s a big problem. However, one of my biggest irritations with people who fight against better infrastructure is how they all suck at driving. They’re terrible at it and refuse to get better but also demand that everything is built in their favour. That negligence absolutely does lead to preventable injuries and loss of life and far too many of these “accidents” are exactly as you say.

I’ll start paying attention to those idiots when they start putting in some vague amount of effort. At this point they can’t even turn left without cutting the oncoming lane.

Yikes, big dog.

Weird, I guess I just hallucinated that presentation, put on by a painter(the kind who paints several kilometer long bridges)(who was a woman), I saw that included a part about encouraging the women in the room to get into trades.

Idiot.

How many times you gunna say “you clearly don’t understand” before you just admit that you don’t have the communication skills to talk about it with anyone who doesn’t have intimate knowledge about your specific project and how your soecific company does, or evidently doesn’t, function? Sorry I made you feel bad about yourself by asking questions you couldn’t answer.

Look, you don’t need to admit it to me, this exchange has been heated enough and I get that, but for the love of god please be better the next time you find yourself in a similar situation.

Bruh, I can’t with you lol. Or your dogshit company, either, which apparently has such poor data management that its original plan was to get sales people to ask the fucking developpers to get marketting information for them. Embarrassing.

I love how there’s no possible way for anything to work except for your specific solution and that’s it. Everything else is throwing your hands up in the air and getting mad at people.

My. Guy.

• The copilot agent has access to at least a read only part of the database, right? And this means that it is possible for something to have access to the database, right?
• It generates reports for them using this access to the database, right?
• It knows what each piece of information means because each piece of information comes with some kind of identifier so nothing falls through the cracks, right?
• “Unless a report exists” exactly, so how would that report have been made pre-copilot? This has been my question the entire time. What were people doing in 2018, for example?

What is stopping you from making an interface that a human being can use instead of forcing them to go through a copilot agent? I’m assuming that the database is not a clumsily assorted stack of PDF reports or you would have said something by now(right?). All data would have some way of identifying it(sale instance was for X product in Y location for Z amount at [time], for example) and if you can integrate co-pilot than surely you can integrate something to handle that information, right?

Before the copilot agent, there was no system whatsoever for anyone to make reports because no one had access to the database? So they just hucked information into it and it was lost to time? What if an auditor came through and needed to see things? Did you just say “sorry, no one has access to the database and you’re going to have to wait until LLMs exist and FreedomAdvocate integrates one into the database”?

Look, dude, I’m ok with not understanding something but you haven’t given me any indication that what I’m asking for wouldn’t work. All you’ve said is “no that won’t work” and the most in-depth thing I’ve gotten is that “there are a lot of places to find the info” but never really elaborated on why that’s a significant problem or why co-pilot can handle it so vastly differently(and without missing anything).

Except you obviously did not make your point. In fact, you made the opposite of your point.

You’re going to need to figure out why your language sucks because saying that marketting doesn’t have access to the database enough to filter through information manually but does have access enough to get that information through an LLM is just about the dumbest thing I’ve heard of. They either have access or they don’t, which is it? How come they can only view the information through a fucking chatbot?

And for the love all that is good and holy HOW THE FUCK WAS ANYTHING BEING DONE BEFORE THE AI AGENT?! ANSWER THE VERY SIMPLE QUESTION!

“My example was perfect” then why was it so pathetically simple? You’re trying to show how AI will solve complex issues and you present something that a toddler could sort through. Maybe your database is just organized like dogshit or maybe you have a point but lack any kind of communication skills to the point where you don’t understand that I don’t know the specifics of how your company works/struggles to function.

And for the love of god can you put even the slightest fraction of the effort you’re putting into being an asshole to answer my questions that I’ve asked repeatedly?! How were people handling this data since before your little LLM tool?

You also can’t reliably buy a car that isn’t on its way for less than $15-20k(Canadian) used and new cars are expensive these days. They’re normalized but that doesn’t mean that North Americans aren’t essentially forced to spend tens pf thousands of dollars on cars on a somewhat regular basis.

It really doesn’t, they even mentioned how they were specifically mad at corporate democrats.

Hey dude, I was responding to your incredibly shitty examples. You give me no information and blame for not having information well, that’s a you problem. But I suppose if you understood that concept you’d also understand the problems I’m talking about.

Now, again, if the AI can have access to all that information and identify it correctly then why is it impossible to do what I’m asking? It has to be able to tell the difference somehow, right? And with LLMs being known to have hallucinations and serious misunderstandings it seems rather ridiculous to rely on it for something that you say is so complex that a person cannot do it. You also haven’t answered me, I don’t think, on the topic of what people were doing before the LLM.

There are a lot of key elements you’re dodging here and before you start talking shit maybe start addressing them.
