Bored as shit this evening and a video by The 8-Bit Guy popped up on YT. I had decided a while back to stop watching his stuff after I found out he's quite possibly a MAGAt, and definitely is a conservative troll. Anyway I thought, "eh, it wouldn't hurt to see what he came up with for this one" as I'm a sucker for retrocomputing and such. It was about visiting the Usagi Electric guy to talk about a what-if scenario where transistors and ICs were never invented so we still used vacuum tubes and core memory for computing. Well folks, why was I not surprised to see "AI" generated images throughout (though to his credit he captioned them as such) and at the end on the way home he had discussions with Grok and ChatGPT in his self-driving Tesla about the scenario posed in the video and talked to both LLMs as if they were real people. Yeah, fuck that guy. I want my 23 minutes back.
