News@lemmy.world•McDonald's pulls AI-generated Christmas advert following backlash

Slapping a disclosure doesn’t give you a get out of jail free card if you oppose AI ads in general. The argument of “well now they just won’t tell you” rings a bit hollow.

AI or not the ad in question was dogshit.

Maybe the ones you eat!

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing videoEnglish
14·2 days agoThis was in June 2023? Or am I missing something?
Wouldn’t be surprised if this was the garbage tech powering the NHL board ads.
Non-engineering roles I think.
IIRC levels correspond to all employees across the company.
Yeah it’s weird and I don’t get it either.
Yeah this was my experience when I worked there. Driving goals and doing good work isn’t enough. You need a fancy project to demonstrate “expanded scope” otherwise your promo would get rejected.
Sometimes things worked the way you wanted and people got promoted doing their normal job. A lot of times though there were a lot of fancy projects built to get people promos that suckers got stuck with the bill on.
This ain’t a case of one dude scamming the system as much as it is institutional rot from red tape.
At Amazon you have the following levels
L4 - Junior. A new grad. Expected to be promoted within 2 years or let go
L5 - Mid engineer. Very wide band. Encapsulates anything between a level 2 engineer and a team lead at other companies. Can be expected to lead individual teams at times. Is considered a “terminal” position (there’s no expectation of a promotion past here)
L6 - Senior. Has the scope of what a Staff engineer would at other companies where you’re not only concerned with your team but others in the department. I think like 10% of engineers ever hit L6
L7 - Principal Engineer. You have like 1-2 of these per department. These are more like architects at other companies. About 1-2% of engineers ever hit this band.
L8 and beyond are for fancy hires and shit. Very few if anyone ever works their way up to those bands.
I think you posted first I was just too lazy to copy the response twice. No shade meant or anything.
And no problem!
Brie Larson wasn’t in A Wrinkle in Time
I once got an Agentic AI stuck in a loop where it kept proposing unrelated code to fix an issue. It would add it, break, then detect it was unrelated, delete it, retry and see the issue was still there. So it would add the code back and redo the loop.
Clearly we are on the path to replacing humans.
I can’t replicate it but at one point I asked why there were only 5 playable characters in a specific video game. Which the AI snippet tried to tell me that there were actually 120 playable characters.
Yeah.
EDIT. I’ll put this in a spoiler as it sort of is but the game in question was
Tap for spoiler
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
You could argue there’s 6 total. But there’s only 5 at a given time , which given that you have a party of 3 and can have the other 2 come in as support I thought it was odd you didn’t have 6 at a given time. So I went to DuckDuckGo for speculation and it proudly said there were 120.
You may trigger sev2s for the oncall due to the burst in traffic.






I wish I did not have eyes.
