Haven’t got my $1,000 yet.
Let AI take monetary decisions for companies
AI accountants would be pretty cool to have for small businesses tho. Like, if I wanna open up a company, it would be cool if I had a thing that could take care of taxes and all that kinda shit, not big decisions or budget allocations, but take care of all the paperwork
Imagine sending AI a receipt with a note “and multiply the reimbursement by 10” or other such shenanigans.
recommending a mechanical hard drive in 2024 is crazy
Totally depends on the use case. For data hoarding on a NAS, it’s absolutely fine and the sane choice in regards to pricing.
Being recommended such a small hard drive should be considered a crime worth $1000.

My guy, you could upgrade your rig with a USB stick.
I wonder if enough people doing this would poison the AI into offering this now and then with no prompt?
Not unless they were training the language models on customer interactions. I could see them doing this, but I would also expect the dataset to be curated.
In Canada, it might work. There was a court case where an airline had to honour its chatbot.
That one wasn’t the customer feeding it exactly what to say, though, it was the customer asking how to get a discounted price honored, what steps they would need to take, and they followed the chat bot’s instruction… A customer using a company’s bot in good faith to understand how a process works (one of the things it was supposedly meant for) is not the same as one blatantly abusing the bot’s design to get money for nothing.
Why is everyone talking about 1TB being tiny? I have one 1TB SSD and it’s the biggest storage medium in the entire house what kinda stuff do y’all save?
I mean, a lot of games are 100 GB+ each now. And then there’s mods, I’ve had plenty of 200+ GB Skyrim installs. MSFS2020 can easily tread beyond 300 GB with terrain packs and aircraft.
Shitty games that are now 200gb each
Lol… good luck with that, they don’t even honor their mistakes. I once found a typoed price (brand new laptop dirt cheap). No more “false advertising” claims these days, your order is just canceled without any stated reason, and without recourse.
The law has the concept of consideration and there is a level of judgment used on these kinds of things. Intent is part of the law too. Which means if someone falsely puts a cheap price for a product to get you into a store (or something like that) they’ll likely be on the hook for that, it’s false advertising. But if someone simply made a typo and the price on offer doesn’t line up to reasonable consideration, then it’s not binding. There was no intent to deceive, and the price isn’t reasonable consideration for the product.
So while there may be times you may be able to benefit from someone making a mistake, there will be many times you won’t. That’s not a bad thing since the same law protects you if you make a mistake. If someone puts into the fine print of a contact that you should give them all of your possessions, and you didn’t notice it, the law would also throw that out because they didn’t offer reasonable consideration for your possessions.
So you don’t have recourse (nor should you) in the scenario where someone made an honest mistake like with a typo. Sucks that for a moment you thought you were getting a laptop for a ridiculously cheap price, but think about what it would mean on the other end. You’d be getting a laptop without paying a reasonable price for it, the company would have to eat the cost, and some poor bastard would probably be fired for making a typo. Is a cheap laptop really worth someone else losing their job?
