@kevinroose What kinda psycho keeps their peanut butter in the fridge? It turns completely hard in there..
@kevinroose "Really? I think it can last way longer." "I actually agree! I over simplified before. You're absolutely right."
@kevinroose They’ll still need us
@kevinroose the same portal will spend 40 minutes reasoning about the peanut butter, cite three food safety sources, and still tell you to just smell it.
@kevinroose “You’ve hit the nail on the head! Your strategic planning on shelf life of perishable goods is a cornerstone of good household hygiene. Anyway it’s forever”
@kevinroose ay man even Einstein’s brain had to spend cycles wiping his ahse
@kevinroose Don’t leave us hanging… how long?! 🤭
@kevinroose Uhmm, a lot less long than outside of the fridge? Is refrigerating peanut butter another weird American thing?
@davieball @kevinroose “Good catch. Let’s start over. Can you tell me the brand and the weather when you bought it?
@kevinroose @davidslavick It is important to understand that the large language model did neither of these things. It scraped the Internet for every more than six month old failed solution and smashed all those not quite solutions together again and again until it found a permutation that worked.1/2
@kevinroose Here is all the data I meticulously distilled. My VP says it’s too technical. Create a one slide PPT suitable for five year olds

@kevinroose @dagsen I still lose it over this one
@kevinroose “You think you've got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don't try to answer that. I'm fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.”
