Until somebody typos the address and puts Malden’s zip code next to the word “Medford” or vice versa. Or they get a driver with lysdexia.
I guess, if the Malden address was a new customer. Presumably they only enter the address into the system once, not on each delivery.
We’re all grasping at straws a bit to know how this location confusion happened. I’m just spit-ballin’.
Of course we all know of package deliveries (UPS, Amazon, etc.) that end up at the wrong address. That’s all computerized too. Drivers still find ways to mess it up. Despite all the nav apps, scanning of barcodes, etc., packages still end up in wacky (or unknown) places.
The product here is different but the deliver-to-house dynamic is identical.
Oh sure, I’m just saying there had to be a lot of different errors/negligence to get 385 gallons of red #2 into that basement.
Tank removal company didn’t seal or remove fill pipe.
Inspector didn’t flag above & require them to fix it.
Driver wound up at wrong address.
Driver didn’t notice absence of whistling from vent pipe.
Update: Board members decided not to vote on the speech restriction policy at the November school board meeting, and district officials announced that the proposal had been shelved.
At least one parent quizzed the board at the meeting about who came up with the idea, but no one would own up to it.
Anime fans are raging mad at Amazon after they decided to use AI instead of hiring actual voice actors for the English dub of an anime called Banana Fish.
There’s a clip in this Bluesky link and you need to see it to understand why, because it’s baaaaaaaad. How anyone thought this was releaseable in quality is baffling.
I’ve seen posts on Threads of someone suggesting that the Titanic sinking was a conspiracy- it was actually the Olympic that was sunk as an insurance scam.
I’ve heard that theory before and even if it was the case, I kind of struggle to see why it would matter. It was still a tragedy of olympic proportions and doesn’t actually make anything better that the ship may have had a different name.
It’s also just dumb for practical purposes. I wonder how easy it would be to actually aim for an iceberg and guarantee the ship sinks?
Google Gemini presents the floor plan for the house of the future - 3 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms (2 with.no toilet), a “master room” outside, no front door, and an open kitchen with 7 sinks but no oven or fridge.
I’d like a gallery hall. That sounds fancy.
If you look closely, it’s actually a gallery halll. The extra L is for Luxury.
I do like that you’ve got options when it comes to the necessarily- there’s a powder room, a master roksn, a coat bath, a guest bath, a Jack & Jil fun bah, and a bedroom AND full bath in one!
I’m sitting in a bar with fox “news” on the telly. Thankfully the sound is off but the closed captions are on.
Their talking heads are the stupidest MFers on not in the news.
That is all.
What is that in the bottom right corner? It looks like a series of parallel narrow stalls… Is that a stable?
I also find it interesting that AI still has massive problems with English text. Most of it is okay, but there is a “MASTER ROISN” above the “HUGE WAX CLOSET”.
And there is a “FUh Bah #2” above the “Full Bsth #3” on the right side.
I use ChatGPT as an aid when I’m writing role-playing game adventures. For an upcoming Daggerheart game (a fantasy RPG, similar to Dungeons & Dragons), I wanted to detail the layout of a three-story manor house that will play an important role in the adventure.
I gave ChatGPT a list of what rooms I wanted, and a picture of the house’s exterior, and asked it to generate floor plans. It failed miserably: it gave me completely differently shaped floor plans from floor to floor, most of the labels were nonsense words, and it wasn’t even close to the shape of the exterior picture.
My son was watching an AI YouTube video the other day of a home design for a continually growing population of children. It started at one child and went up to one million. It stacked the masses of kids up in bunks like little sardines. While visually attractive, it wasn’t the least practical.
My son watches primarily two kinds of videos: videos made by autistic people, and AI. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference, but I’m confident in this case.
(I guess there’s a third category: space and physics videos, like watching various objects get smushed by a hydraulic press.)
I think Gemini might have lost track of the assignment at that point and decided to draw a sliding door.
The poster tried asking Grok if it could do better and, well…
A Jack & Jil Fuh Bah at that.
Which I assume means that if you try to use it you’ll probably fall and crack your skull open.
Okay, I thought maybe that was what it was going for, but it’s so out-of-place that I wasn’t 100% sure.
I thought at first maybe that’s supposed to indicate stairs? But the scale is wholly out of proportion. The whole thing is like this one huge erratic space surrounded by random small pieces.
With our site documentation software I take a video scan of a home and it will generate a pretty accurate floorplan, supposedly with ‘AI’. Not sure what that entails. I take some reference measurements and scale everything to that. Its very useful, especially for 90’s homes with angles everywhere.
Its the only place on my life that AI has proven to be a useful thing and not just a broken gimmick shoved down my throat.
There’s a practical way to house one million children?
