YouTube sent me an email announcing "cool" AI built in tools in shorts editor

Do they realise that we watched videos to know what happened, not what some sick LLM hallucinated?

General Motors will integrate AI into its cars, plus new hands-free assist Do we want LLMs in our cars? GM thinks we do.

Hands off, eyes off, skepticism on! GM's promise of autonomous driving up to 80 mph sounds like a movie plot, but let's not hit play just yet. Let's steer clear of overhyped tech promises and keep our eyes on the road ahead! 🚗✨ #TechSkeptic #GMFuture

OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models Experts working to benchmark resource use of AI models say new version’s enhanced capabilities come at a steep cost

All for the sake of dubious AI queries --"be it for a pasta recipe or an offering to Moloch"-- total energy consumption of LLMs could reach the daily electricity demand of 1.5 milion US homes.

AI = waste of energy

However, it didn't meet my expectations. The first Roomba had a minimal dirt collection, continuously bumped into objects, struggled to find its...

Tried the Roomba back in the day, and it was a noisy letdown! Now they’ve added arms and legs? Yikes! I’ll keep my broom, thanks. #RoboticVacuum #TechSkeptic #HomeCleaning
