As a long time google despiser and someone who almost puked when I was involuntarily subjected to the trailer for that terrible looking movie, this is fantastic.
Edit: forgot to mention a further box is ticked as someone fascinated but horrified with the corporate failures of Boeing.
The fall guy is pretty damn good. Great actual stunts in it too.
They fooled me into thinking it was likely to be terrible with their ad / trailer in that case. I’ll give it a go sometime when time. Or were you sent by google to make up for their bad AI ? ;) are you good AI guy ?
I see a lot of films and am usually more forgiving than most since I have one of those unlimited cards that lets me see any amount of movies for a monthly fee so if i see a bad one they’re usually just a drop in the ocean. I’ll just see a good film next week, sort of thing.
That being said though, Fall Guy did stand out more than others for me. I really like films that showcase their choreography and Stunts. And for me this is the best one since the original John wick and Nobody in those regards. No quick jump cuts. Lots of wide shots and whatnot. My kind of thing, so I ate it all up.

AI and its consequences have been a disaster for Google.
… a disaster for
Googlehumanity.I don’t get the doom but idk I have been watching this stuff closely for over a decade. I think it’s exciting and people are having All these strange expectations out of these systems all the sudden just because they’re smart. Well they were smart before any of this generative AI stuff. Also scientific breakthroughs in medicine, blind people have something that can assist them. As someone with some disabilities, and knowing a lot of people who also have disabilities, it seems to be the privilege of the healthy and comfortable to keep the status quo.
Also if we want to play that game we were so fucked by climate change already that I had no hope. Now I have a little. It’s not going away so let’s push for open open open free software. (And model weights)
we aren’t talking about using it to -benefit- human society like discovering new proteins or vaccines. We’re talking about it fucking up search results on google and generating billions of new sites with fucking spam. It’s a tool, but it’s being completely misused and ruining the internet.

I kinda like the new google. It’s strong and wrong and doesn’t afraid of anything.
So weird, that’s not what I see.
It’s, uh, not what I remember.

On the one hand, generative AI doesn’t have to give deterministic answers i.e. it won’t necessarily generate the same answer even when asked the same question in the same way.
But on the other hand, editing the HTML of any page to say whatever you want and then taking a screenshot of it is very easy.
That seems like a Wikipedia capture for the wrong page instead of AI.
I too am skeptical, but there have been so many of these the last few days… is it just a new meme?
I saw this a few days ago too when I went to see the film and wanted to check who some people were in the film.
@RecursiveParadox @voracitude it absolutely has become a meme, there are (or were) a bunch of repeatable results.
Google is probably whack-a-mole’ing them now, because “google’s AI search results are trying to kill people” has entered the collective consciousness.
I have no doubt some of their AI answers have antivax and injecting bleach recommendations from all over the web as part of their training regime.
There are actually a bunch of these. Adding glue to pizza sauce (scraped from an old reddit post), replacing Blinker Fluid every two years, etc.
When you do this query, won’t you get the same?
If you read the arstechnica article Google is correcting these errors on the fly so the search results can change rapidly.
Technically, generative AI will always give the same answer when given the same input. But, what happens is a “seed” is mixed in to help randomize things, that way it can give different answers every time even if you ask it the same question.
What happened to my computers being reliable, predictable, idempotent ? :'(
They still are. Giving a generative AI the same input and the same seed results in the same output every time.
Technically they still are, but since you don’t have a hand on the seed, practically they are not.
OK, but we’re discussing whether computers are “reliable, predictable, idempotent”. Statements like this about computers are generally made when discussing the internal workings of a computer among developers or at even lower levels among computer engineers and such.
This isn’t something you would say at a higher level for end-users because there are any number of reasons why an application can spit out different outputs even when seemingly given the “same input”.
And while I could point out that Llama.cpp is open source (so you could just go in and test this by forcing the same seed every time…) it doesn’t matter because your statement effectively boils down to something like this:
“I clicked the button (input) for the random number generator and got a different number (output) every time, thus computers are not reliable or predictable!”
If you wanted to make a better argument about computers not always being reliable/predictable, you’re better off pointing at how radiation can flip bits in our electronics (which is one reason why we have implemented checksums and other tools to verify that information hasn’t been altered over time or in transition). Take, for instance, the example of what happened to some voting machines in Belgium in 2003: https://www.businessinsider.com/cosmic-rays-harm-computers-smartphones-2019-7
Anyway, thanks if you read this far, I enjoy discussing things like this.
It could also be A/B testing, so not everyone will have the AI running in general
It’s not A/B testing if they aren’t getting feedback.
Wouldn’t they be? They could measure how likely it is that someone clicks on the generated link/text
Just because you click on it that doesn’t make it accurate. More importantly, that text isn’t “clickable”, so they can’t be measuring raw engagement either.
What this would measure is how long you would stay on the page without scrolling. Less scrolling means more time looking at ads.
This is the influence of Prabhakar Raghavan.
Just because you click on it that doesn’t make it accurate.
Given the choice between clicks/engagement and accuracy, is pretty clear Google’s for the former is what got us into this hell hole.
Google runs passive A/B testing all the time.
If you’re using a Google service there’s a 99% chance you’re part of some sort of internal test of changes.
Works on my machine.
Oh perfect. We’ll just point production to your machine.

But the real question is, is the colour blue that you see, the colour blue that I see?
There for me
Me too. But a different person on my same network got a clean result.
Yup me too 🫡

Nobody mentioned udm14.com ?
what the heck’s the second picture
The first picture shows Fall, the second shows Guy.
Guy
The lady? She was in the original series. My brother loved that show so I had to watch it if I was watching tv at that time
The Fall Guy tv show from the 80’s.
I asked Google for the release date of the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion today, which comes out June 28th. It told me March 26th
I’m pretty sure March 26 is the day the pre-order started, so that one at least kind of makes sense.
But not from a knowledge engine. It makes sense if some rando just spouted off a date from the top of their head but this is the former world leader in knowledge capture and search.
Will, it’s not wrong. Welcome to the AI powered world of tomorrow.
the free version is stuck with an IQ of 53.
That’s low end of average for a human. A particularly dim human admittedly, but we’ve all met them.
Never the less, these dim-witted humans can aspire to greatness. See Forrest Gump and Donald Trump.
See the Republicans do sport the disadvantaged. They support the idiots, the greatest disability of them all.
I like to use the Void from r/place as a metaphor for the Internet’s gremlins. Google has called to the void, didn’t bother to filter it and isn’t happy with what it found. To me that signals that Google no longer understands internet culture.
Nepo babies don’t understand anything.
This is amazing
They lost it a long time ago
I spent most of today looking at places to rent in Denver and I come home to Google having killed it’s fucking search engine. What the hell is going on
That’s what you get for trying to have a real life.
How does je dare to.
Google decided that the entirety of reddit is perfect for training data in their AI LLM. People’s shitposts from 10 years ago have now been given the spotlight at the top of google searches.
