Both can be true.

Preserved and curated datasets to train AI on, gathered before AI was mainstream. This has the disadvantage of being stuck in time, so-to-speak.

New datasets that will inevitably contain AI generated content, even with careful curation. So to take the other commenter’s analogy, it’s a shit sandwich that has some real ingredients, and doodoo smeared throughout.

Shift-left eliminated the QA role.

Now we have AI generated shit code, with devs that don’t understand the low level details of both the language, and the specifics of the generated code.

So we basically have content entry (ai inputs) and extremely shitty QA bundled into the “developer” role.

As a 20 year veteran of the industry, people keep asking me if I think AI will make developers obsolete. I keep telling them “maybe some day, but today’s LLMs are not it. The AI bubble is going to burst, and a few legit use cases will make it through”

And numerous. A new ship docking would set a town into a flurry, bringing in trade and money for services. Now at today’s scale of everything, one ship is meaningless unless it’s something like a giant tourist ship to a small tourist town.

That’s a pretty rosy interpretation. Another would be that, unless you were wealthy, no one really gave a shit. I’m sure a lot of autistic people just died in the gutters because they weren’t able to find steady employment.

I’m sure plenty were able to contribute to family trades like farming, etc. But human history is full of death and despair.

Bruh. You just fetishized a 10 year old kid because she’s a female Japanese minor.

You need to step away from your weird anime/hentai loop and step into society.

I learned to touch type quickly mostly out of necessity to communicate quickly in online games before voice chat was a thing.

Go outside.

In general, digital privacy invasions have been very successful because of attrition.

Most people don’t care, those that do hold out, but then every competitor does the same and you no longer have any real alternatives. Eventually, the hold outs need to replace [car in this case] and the sting of the objectiknable change has faded, and they just move on.

Rinse and repeat.

We lost the fight for meaningful net neutrality, basic digital privacy rights, broadband limits, etc.

They’ll win this one too. Eventually. Your phones and IoT with microphones are already doing it.

An airbnb I stayed at stored a gray plastic food tray in the oven. My friend understandably thought it was a cooking sheet. Very sad cookies that night.

And they also got tangled easy, caught on things, and winding them up to put them away was annoying.

Also a very litigious society. Even if they mean well, going off the page and trying to figure out a “Haus” solution is just putting themselves at risk.

They have to check all the boxes for your insurance. They have to check all the boxes for their own malpractice insurance. Even if they followed procedure, they might get dragged through the legal system to defend themselves if a client feels wronged.

That turns you, the client, into a number in a dispassionated machine.

And I don’t have a solution to it.

Edit - that was a bit too bleak. There are a lot of doctors trying their best to retain humanity in a system aimed at destroying it. The whole med school journey is aimed at weeding the people out who are just in it for the money. It’s designed to gatekeep the industry to require a massive amount of passion to get your foot in the door. But the realities of the industry do their best to squash that.

Yep, my comment was tongue in cheek. It’s a useless result and only sort of makes sense as an overly reduced summary that has lost vital context.

The other reply is the obvious answer. Each answer is from a different viewpoint from a different user.

It’s worth it if you accept the post pandemic, post crypto prices to be the new normal.

I’m still rocking my old 980ti because I refuse to pay $600 for an old, mid tier card.

There’s nothing wrong about it.

Neither is worth it. But if you have unlimited money, XTX is the better card and therefore a better deal. But if money is a factor, get the XT because the performance per $$$ of the XTX isn’t worth selling a kidney.

Also a word thing to focus on during a World War.

You forgot the open carry

Or like the golden age of instant messengers, where you had multiple choices of multi-client apps like Trillian.

You still had individual accounts for each IM platform, but a single app to chat on any platform.

That’s a pretty weird rant on EVs.

The carpool lanes were very under utilized. Hybrids and later EVs were also slow to be adopted, and the state wanted this adoption accelerated due to air quality and just general environmental consciousness.

So the state decided to add the carpool benefit, which solved two problems.

Now that EVs are far more abundant, that policy is getting revisited. Which is fair, because the carpool lane can only support so many before it just gets clogged like the main road. And people don’t necessarily need the encouragement to get EVs anymore.

Nothing is permanent.

Oof. They even have a photo of Trump’s dad with a Hitler stache in 1950.

And the American people voted his son into our highest office.

Wild.

They also don’t explain how the Q are omnipotent, just that they can play with reality. Ex: change the coefficient of gravity IIRC the meteor scene.

Beings that live somewhat out of time or whatever that other dimension thing Kirk got stuck in (been a long time since I watched that movie), I guess you could make the case that there may be some tangential mojo between both of those mechanisms that could be dangerous to a Q.

But that’s a lot of wand waving. It was never explained because each of their powers is supposed to stay mysterious.
