Costco article has nothing to do with PB but I’m betting the AI is showing me a picture of allergic butter. Frankly dangerous.

Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.

      rsync isn’t that fancy, but rsync is a nicer sync than rneighborsync. In fact, their whole kytchen is pretty ugly.

    Are you insinuating Google is reading your Lemmy comments and pushing you news recommendations based on those?

      Considering they are not even capable of removing video recommendations for videos you literally just finished watching on Youtube I doubt it.

        i get that this is supposed to be a joke but just because they can’t get a bug fixed doesn’t mean they aren’t teacking you and recommending you stuff based on your web activity

          Honestly, recommendation engines are literally the most primitive shit, especially the ones by large companies.

          Audible keeps recommending part 3 or 4 of series where i haven’t heard part 1 or 2 or tells me there is a new title in my “favorite series”, i.e.g the one where I just stopped listing half-way through a book to instead listen to something else.

          Amazon also still hasn’t fixed that simple thing where it keeps recommending you a second e.g. washing machine because you recently bought one.

          Google recommendations were literally better 10 years ago than they are now though I suppose AI is partially to blame for that one but even before that it “helpfully corrected” searches frequently away from what I was actually looking for just because the term was similar to a more popular one.

          I don’t doubt that they feed it all kinds of tracking data but the actual algorithm that does anything with that data is literally about as primitive as the “chosen by fair dice roll” XKCD.

        Unless you have a custom privacy build of Android.

        That’s kind of my thing really about Android yeah sure the basic model probably tracks you up the wazoo but at least you can work around it.

    Alright, this is a good way to show why AI is so dangerous! I usually look at thumbnails before reading article titles, so when I read the title, my brain auto replaced butter with peanut butter.

      Also damaging to businesses… I already knew about the butter recall and then saw this. My brain automatically filled in ‘peanut butter’ when reading because of the photo, and my first thought was damn, Costco fucked up again? Maybe they are going downhill in quality. Until I read the comments to realize I should reread that.

    You have peanut butter named Jif? That’s weird, where I come from Jif is an abrasive cleaner.

    …Is your peanut butter gritty?

      That one is creamy, so no. But there is gritty peanut butter, we generally refer to it as “chunky”.

      The cleaner used to be called Jif, it’s been called Cif since they started selling it in France, where “Jif” is slang for a condom lol

        And my grandma still has a bottle dating back from when it wasn’t called Cif yet. It’s “Vim”. Guess she still has it because she didn’t figure out how to quit it.

        But also in Asian markets the J part was not easy, so needed to rebranded.

        Of course what they renamed it to was the short way of saying Syphillis in the UK. It definitely wasn’t a win win.

    AI creates fiction that sometimes intersects with reality, in the same way that Legends & Lattes has a few real-world things like coffee shops and lattes, but the things like orcs, ratkin, succubi, and magic that comprise the rest of the details are still currently fiction.

    People just need to learn to assume LLMs are always writing fiction with a handful of details borrowed from real life.

      It’s basically peanut infused Crisco, that is why you don’t have to stir it.

      Stir peanut butter has one ingredient: peanuts. Try it sometime, high odds you will not go back.

      Crisco peanut butter is for filling rodent traps and that is all.

        Yup, we like it, but you either need to store it in the refrigerator or stir it every time, which really sucks, especially if you only eat it occasionally.

        When I lived closer to a WinCo (across the street), I would just go get fresh made peanut butter every so often when we ran out, and it wasn’t an issue. Now we get bigger portions, and it’s a pain having to stir it since we only eat it a couple times/month.

            The fridge is the important factor here because cold makes it separate slower. But then it’s hard to spread, especially for almond butter.

            We end up taking it out of the fridge a bit before needing it, which helps, but it’s still a nuisance, and if I forget to put it back for whatever reason, I have to go re-mix it, which takes a few minutes.

    I know their article is bogus, but I could see some one trying claiming this…

    “Omg this peanut butter didn’t say it contained peanut butter, so I thought it was safe for little Billy. Now he’s dead and its all their fault for not labeling the peanut butter properly”
