He’s a horrible person who should be removed from power, and any wealth seized so it can be used to making some small amends for his actions.

This feels like theft. Maybe not technically legally but the people who did the chatting aren’t getting the money. Capitalist hellscape

It’s because leadership is a heady cocktail of stupid and selfish.

I really want to stress stupid. That means they draw bad conclusions from facts.

Sometimes selfish is a factor. They have an obscure reason like “my share value goes up because we get a kickback from the city for staffing an office here”. They don’t care if it’s bad for everyone else or the company long term. They’ll get their money and then leave.

Microsoft is probably salivating at the idea of being the only legal OS provider.

I feel like removal from office is not enough. He’d just go be a talking head and live a life of luxury. He needs criminal charges and punishment.

People don’t understand things but that doesn’t stop them feeling ways about it.

Also the US tax system seems complicated and error prone.

Cars ruin everything. The primacy of cars is upstream from a surprising amount of problems with modern life.

I was going to make a joke about how that doesn’t sound child friendly, and about how people would sometimes hide their porn in a folder named innocuously

If they won’t use signal or similar then they’re kind of shitty, but sometimes with friends and family that’s how it is.

People should stop using Facebook products.

Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<

Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don’t. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don’t give up.

To your point, maybe you’re just getting older? There’s always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you’re a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited

I feel like most of the time saved is by skipping the part where you learn stuff. Like, the AI fills out how you do a left join with this ORM library. Cool. Now I don’t know how to do that.

You know how a lot of managers are annoying and don’t know anything about how shit works? That’s down the road using LLMs like this.

I’ve never paid a subscription for YouTube. It’s been, what, like $10/mo for ten years? Can buy a lot of media drm free for that $1200.

It enables unskilled people to punch above their weight class, similar to giving a chainsaw to a toddler.

I’ve used them a little for coding, but it’s not always correct. It’s often incorrect in subtle ways. Or inefficient in non obvious ways. It gets worse as you build more.

Often it’s better overall to do it yourself if you know what you’re doing. If you stick to letting the LLM do it, you won’t learn much.

I don’t think I’ve blocked anybody, but I mostly don’t read names. Sometimes I wonder if I’m having a metaphorical fist fight in one thread and a love fest in another with the same person.

Guy at work did a whole mini project with just LLMs and prompting. I asked him some questions about how it works and some implementation details, and he had no idea. Great. I’m going to have to maintain this thing, probably.

It’s eclipsed (no pun intended) by the horrors of war, disease, and conservatism. It’s hard to be excited about the moon when there’s measles outbreaks and at least one genocide.

I think it’s low quality more than low effort. Low effort often gets low quality, but someone could spend hours making a bad Photoshop joke and it’s still shit

There is opportunity cost of Microsoft et al investing billions in AI instead of doing anything else. That money could have been spent on renewable energy research, improving efficiency of existing hardware, supporting work from home to reduce commuting, whatever. Those opportunities are lost because they went with AI instead.

I didn’t mean my opportunity cost from the toilet.

AI is a poor use of limited resources and opportunity.
