That’s because OpenAI is in panic mode. They’re now spending their resources on making the LLM cheaper to operate and capable of injecting paid results.

The orgs publishing this junk are pushing the writers to use AI. So the writers and editors can’t shit talk AI because their boss will get upset.

I bet we would start to see chinese adapters showing up on the market with DisplayPort to HDMI2.1 though.

It’s $1.2M to gain majority share on the HDMI board, but it sure would be nice if someone gave $1.2M to one of the engineers with access to that cryptographic DRM keys for the binary to “apparently get hacked” and have the keys magically appear online.

“I don’t use social media, and I don’t have an email.”

Well my approach is:

• Mark off every candidate who did not bother to provide a statement
• Mark off every candidate with no listed volunteering experience in the little section for it
• Mark off every candidate whose statement claims they will do things their desired office is not empowered to do
• Mark off every candidate with a platform that doesn’t claim to be aiming for any kind of change or improvement in particular. (I don’t support chair warmers.)
• Mark off every candidate whose email is a personal one listed as itsyaboymrthiccpenis@yahoo.com or something else similarly unprofessional
• Mark off any candidate aligned with the party that supported the coup attempt in 2021

After this quick pass, which only takes a couple of minutes, I’m typically only left with two or three offices with more than one remaining choice to compare. I then read their platform and pick the candidate with the platform goal that seems most relevant to my or my community’s interest.

If all you do is read the little statements booklet they send out, and then do the mail vote based on that, then AI is not in the loop unless the candidate is dumb enough to paste chatbot output into their statement.

Seriously people, get your friends and family off of the ragebait rectangle. Most “news” media today is just opinion wrapped with ads about content they bought from Reuters and AP.

These are the little fuckwits that pretend waiting on a phone call back from someone is hard work. They have no concept of what real work is like; their “work” is just their ordinary greasy life made to benefit a shareholder in addition to themselves.

Oh, you want me to go play golf with this guy using the company card and then go for dinner and drinks? Do some soft sales, just having regular conversation? Sure, I’ll take that “work”. Man, it’s tough. Nobody works 80 hour weeks like me.

You think the Palantir CEO has a soul? You gaze into that orb once and it’s game over

IMO it’s sloppy, or at least a code smell, to be merging changes that still have comments like that into commercial software main branches to begin with. But it’s still not a security issue or anything like that.

The future engineer who picks up whatever ticket that’s referenced is going to have no idea that comment exists in that file unless it’s called out in the ticket anyway, or people just know to globally search for references to whatever ticket they picked up in a given day for some person’s old notes. At that point, just share a source code line link in the ticket to however many lines of code are relevant. Quite irritating to see an old comment in the code saying something like “TODO: Remove once PROJ-1234 is done” and PROJ-1234 was marked done three years ago. Does it still need to go? Why was it left in?

It’s client code, nothing there is secret. It’s served to you on a platter. Minifying is just to shrink it. Obfuscation is security theater.

The thing is, what they’re doing isn’t technically criminal. It just violates the terms of use of most social media sites and apps.

Currency is just a debt marker. Person from 3000BC watches their friend’s kids for a bit while thet go on a hunt. Gives em an IOU, maybe it’s some fun looking shells. The markers evolved over time for convenience and counterfeit prevention.

Ever had an “AI” show up at 2AM on an emergency call to fix a gas leak? How about an “AI” to cook a breakfast sandwich? Maybe an “AI” is taking over babysitting while you’re out of town…? No?

“AI” doesn’t do anything. But if your job primarily revolves around words or pictures on a screen, maybe “AI” can help you with that.

Well no shit, they don’t care if they get fuckin stabbed

They can’t read your mind. A professional painter is going to make the exact image they want in far less time and with more accuracy than repeatedly prompting a black box to make small changes.

But if you’re an amateur and don’t really know what you want, or you’re not very picky or care about quality, then meh good enough. High level software developers know what they want. They are like painters. And at that point, the LLM isn’t really solving problems for you. At best, it’s putting the paint to the canvas. That is, saving you typing time.

But time spent typing is definitely not the limiting factor for productivity in software.

Praying is just talking to your imaginary friend, and having it tell back to you what you want to hear.

These elected representatives are no more mentally developed than elementary school children. Must be from a state full of lead pipes.

Mayne pedantic, but:

Everyone seems to think CEOs are the problem. They are not. They report to and get broad instruction from the board. The board can fire the CEO. If you got rid of a CEO, the board will just hire a replacement.

Whoa I never considered AI inbreeding as a death for AI 🤔

Why don’t I just Google. It’s the same data after all.
