Reads more like a smear piece, especially when there’s just a cherry picked quote or two with no links to the actual speech.

oh how fortunate are we to have you, valorous AnomalousBit of programming dot motherfucking dev, to wander past our village and cast upon us the shining beacon of your intellect

truly, without your timely help we would have been at sea, unable to find veracity in the words of the yon governer gavin newsom, be they branded on the scriptures of office or no! oh woe betide us should your clear insight into this most nebulous matter not have come our way this fair day!

now please get back the fuck on the road where you came from and keep your idiotic opinions to yourself. or, y’know, learn to read. both work

I admit to being conflicted. I try to keep more positive on Lemmy to avoid the psychological traps of social media outage. However, I do enjoy well-phrased and well-deserved insults.

For links to California AI primary sources there was only:

  • A link to the press release
  • A link to the policy paper
  • A link to the executive order
  • A link to the Joint California Summit on Generative AI website
  • A link to a press release from the Joint California Summit on Generative AI
  • A link to a youtube video from the Joint California Summit on Generative AI
  • A link to the press release about a CA / Nvidia AI collaboration
  • A link to the blockchain executive order

So poorly cited! Mr. Gerard don’t you know that if it’s not in video form it doesn’t exist for people raised on TikTok?? SMH.

if it’s not in video form

Actually this isn’t enough. It needs to be read by a monotone TTS or deepfaked voice with minecraft, subway surfer, or fortnite gameplay underlaid to penetrate brain rot

also, for some reason, it’s a split screen video and the right half is a sped up cooking video or someone playing with slime

Man, what a shit take this is. Spent two seconds on the press release. This is what they want to accomplish: "Creating housing with more data and accountability by creating clearer insights into local permitting and development decisions and deploying tools to support every community in building enough homes for all its residents, including vulnerable populations. "

And two seconds on the “nonsense generator can’t fix homelessness, how do we actually do it?” take: “To improve housing affordability, California needs to streamline and accelerate housing production and reexamine the regulations that have hindered new housing development.”

This is bullshit rage bait. I mean, can “GenAI” do this well? IMO no, but the idea of trying to solve the root problems isn’t complete dog shit.

This is bullshit rage bait. I mean, can “GenAI” do this well? IMO no, but the idea of trying to solve the root problems isn’t complete dog shit.

the title of the press release:

Governor Newsom seeks to harness the power of GenAI to address homelessness, other challenges

the paragraph right before the bullet points you quoted out of context:

State agencies and departments began analyzing potential uses for GenAI and developed critical challenges within state government, particularly focusing on issues that impact vulnerable populations. Today, the Governor announces the first step in the process to potentially adopt GenAI to address the following issues identified by state agencies:

it’s literally a press release about supposedly using the nonsense generator to fix homelessness and you had to reach fucking hard to make it look like anything else — you quoted the only two fucking paragraphs that don’t mention GenAI, I fucking counted. and for what?

the included fucking summary of the press release!

What you need to know: Governor Gavin Newsom invites developers to help create Generative AI (GenAI) solutions for some of the most challenging issues facing California and its 39 million residents, including housing and homelessness.

they wrote this bit so you didn’t have to read! what the fuck is wrong with you

it’s also important to look at Newsom’s actual real-life actions to “solve the root problem”: an executive order to steal all their stuff and throw it away, presumably on the assumption that the bums will magically vanish into pixie dust

the article isn’t about homelessness at all, Newsom is getting weird about genAI and spun the wheel for a random issue to solve with genAI

Nobody should be surprised that a politician in the west is proposing that we funnel more money into private companies rather than just fixing the root cause.
