I was recently looking for a research paper (still haven't found it) that delved specifically into adding complexity, in this case in the form of extra steps, to volunteerism. I was trying to find it using Microsoft's Copilot. It first gave me multiple real papers that had nothing to do the study I was looking for but then decided to just start making papers up (two to be precise). When I asked it to link me the papers it had made up unbeknownst to me at this it refused to, but not because they didn't exist. No, it refused to link the papers it had made up based on copyright concerns! Eventually I convinced it to link me the publisher of the papers when it then revealed to me that it could not find any such papers. So I thought That's odd and asked it if it had just made up two papers, it responded yes. I asked it why and it said that it was giving me two hypothetical (it's words) papers because it just wanted to help me out. Despite never mentioning that those papers were hypothetical until that point. It then apologized and offered the previous papers that it had in the first place that had nothing to do with the one I'm looking for because they had complexity in the title. I actually had to stop asking it other questions well before this because there were multiple times where it had given me bad information on thing that were tangentially related to what I was asking that I knew to be false. I figured it was still good for finding things like scientific papers and such that I forgot the title to, but nope that is no longer on the table either. Anyway, short story long I share your deep concerns.

I literally just ran a search on something for my gf's kid's FFA project using Brave's Leo AI right before I opened this up to watch.
The sunmary answer I got was basically the exact opposite of what I had expected. After initially going hmm... that's odd as I closed the session, I opened the browser back up and reran the exact same search, I got the answer I had originally expected. The AI linked completely different sources, heck even the first page of results beyond the AI summary box was entirely different between the searches.

Arc user here, if you're considering an Intel gpu, consider 2 things:
1) up to 10% of games may not be compatible with it (avg about 8%)
2) they aren't necessarily faster than an = nvidia/amd gpu per se, simply more resistant to fps droppage as the gfx options are cranked up at any given resolution. (this is pretty much its entire selling point)
ie. at 1080p low, nvidia/amd will give higher max fps (avg 3-5fps), at 1080p ultra intel _resists_ drops more (has a smaller fps fluctuation range)

I think we can stop coping about battlemage. It's gonna be a December paper launch but AIBs haven't even been briefed on what it is much less done their design or built anything so could easily be 3 months after the paper launch. They are just saving face for investors, saying 'launched Q4 2024'
Throttling geforce now is yet more ammo for consumers to reject 'you will own nothing and be happy' and 'I'm altering the deal pray I don't alter it any further(but I will anyway) company mentality

Recently did a search to find an obscure fact about a skyscraper in my city... how deep are the piles drilled under xyz building to which it confidently gave an answer of something like 50 meters, and cited the source - the quote describing the local rock formations and how they are tricky to core into because reasons. Clicked and read the article - and it had nothing to do with the building in question. It was referring to an entirely different city thousands of kilometers away.

If you want to get rid of those ridiculous AI summaries, append &udm=14 to the end of your search queries. Or get an addon to do that for you automatically.
Regarding market share... Intel will always have a dominant position as long as brick & mortar stores are filled to the brim with only Intel-powered desktops and laptops. One can only hope that the money source for the donations that allow this to happen dries up soon.

6:51 I keep hearing from tech companies about how new stuff is hard. I've been in this game since the Atari 400, PCs since the 286. There are gaffes, to be sure, but I can't recall product releases going so poorly before Bulldozer. Yeah, there were problems - like the Pentium floating point bug, but not to the scale we see now. Maybe I just have a poor memory...

Who would have thought that the AI system that suggest to people to eat rocks and put glue on pizza can give wrong answer
I don't trust AI and don't used them for anything really, but it is scary to see that more and more content on the internet is AI generated and often doesn't even inform people that it is AI generated.

Around 20 ish days ago or something, I bought BOTH AMD and Intel shares.
Intel up by 3% total and AMD down 20% total.
And that is when the news of Intels CPU came down it 13 and 14 gen sucking.
I don't know what the heck AMD is doing but I can tell you for sure that Intel still has a hand in the game.

Unless you have loads of money and are bored, I think its safe to say, that you can skip the enitire AM5 line atn, stay on AM4 and still be ahead of most of Intel. The 9800x3d is a misnomer, but the only reason to go to AM5. Im on AM4, I can wait til AM6 atm. AM5, cost to performance, is not good.

NGL, that Silverstone case gave me some serious nostalgia vibes. I always liked those style desktops & wished I had the disposable cash to customize one back in the day. I miss having a beige, flat case with a monitor sitting on top while blasting through DOOM or Wolfenstein 3D.

Along the lines of bad (i.e. ALL) AI summaries are how many people will jump to ChatGPT. Any time I see someone start a comment with, According to ChatGPT... They are immediately ignored. I'm tired of having to go back and correct their confidently explained incorrect information.

Here's hoping Battlemage can stake a claim as a legitimate option. People will inevitably shit on them because they can't touch the 5090 or whatever... But if they can offer a viable midrange card at a decent price point, I think a lot of people would be willing to give them a look.

Dice purchased. Expensive ones, maximize kitty cat donation. I have 6 cats. All indoor. I have an insulated shelter on my back deck with a warming pad in it, in case any strays are caught out as it gets colder (Michigan). Always happy to help the cat rescues!

Best way to fix the inaccurate AI problem is to charge the company that implements the AI for every wrong answer it puts out as a summary. They will get themselves in gear to force it to use noted and credible places and even cross check to get a proper response.

To add to your AI Rant, Microsoft just did Ignite saying as confidently as their Copilot its integrated into everything and can do everything for you. I'm seriously considering getting into bug bounties cause oh boy is there going to be some nasty exploits.

I hope that those new GPUs that can do all that AI stuff in gaming (like DLSS and it's equavilents) will be still bad and game devs will finally remember that this tech isn't optimalization. Especially when it will be optimized only on newest 4096$ GPUs...

I used to like your content but you've added extra hate/smugness whenever intel cpu's are the subject matter, more so when the guy admitted intel messed up. I really hope Amd increase their cpu prices exponentially to cater to arrogance on show.

I can’t trust AI answers at all. Copilot gave me a BS explanation for why physics worked opposite of how it does. If I didn’t have some basic understanding beforehand I would have never realised because the explanation was convincing.

AI is like that friend you have that is a good conversationalist, but is always telling lies. You can't trust a single word they say, but you keep them around for fun. The problem happens when you place them in high-responsibility positions.
