Betteridge’s law applies. The answer to a yes-no headline question is always no.

Moon’s haunted.

I don’t want to ask ai. Google automatically gives me ai search results that are piss poor. Those useless results still use energy to generate.

So is the plan to drive the cost of everyday essentials so high that virtually everyone bankrupts and the billionaires buy all of our assets for pennies on the thousand dollars? That is all I can come up with trying to make a scenario where this has some coherent objective.

And the quality of the AI output sucks. I was recently looking for information about positive convention for yaw, pitch, and roll in aircraft. I was looking at az and yaw and got reasonable results from the AI, but when I looked at pitch and el all of the results were about elevator pitches. Even when I spelled out elevation it insisted on elevator pitches. I scroll past the AI results as a matter of principle, but I usually look at them so I have something specific to complain about when people ask why I am so virulently anti-AI.

Meanwhile I am learning to dislike my fellow Americans to the point where I am starting to think violence might be the only viable solution.

Hey, JD, would you agree that Puerto Rico has a terrible president? One of the worst in history?

Omits that critical oxygen intake system overlaps with food intake system that can clog causing death. No redundancy on oxygen intake.

Lots of evidence for not-so-intelligent design.

Lots of free movies on Tubi. I watched a few old movies that I missed there. I just don’t watch movies much anymore.

Yay, my 50 something butt is a younger people.

For us this design is closer to marketing’s portrayal. The design is a tiger that has lost his tail, is slightly inbred, and has a bit of mange. The implementation looks like this implementation after a dog has used it as a chew toy.

So glad I am not the only one. It doesn’t help that I work on various projects, some of which use really old compilers. Tried using make_shared the other day and the compiler was not having any of it. Triple checked my syntax and spelling three times before realizing that the compiler was too old to support it.

"People who live paycheck to paycheck? I don’t believe they exist. "

What are the poor landlords going to do when their entire retirement home is delinquent on rent? lol

I tried to use dd with too much hubris once. I had to restore from backups (which ironically, I had made with dd). I’m usually overly cautious, but I was in a hurry.

Targeted attack = someone gave them a coupon for a free car wash and the car subsequently burned to the ground?

LLMs don’t even think. Four year olds are more coherent. Given the state of politics, the people thinking LLMs are smarter than them are probably correct.

As someone who survived the Reagan administration, this comment really sums the sensation up well. Like did you MFers have the same Reagan, I did? The one that was open and shameless about trickle down economics? Yeah, the wealthy get everything amd a little bit will trickle down to the vast majority of you (don’t mind the urine smell of that trickle).

He should fall for so long that he has time to regret his life choices. They should need to to a dna test to confirm it was him with from the shit stain in the crater.

The mistake is admitting that you’re refactoring. I just implemented the feature/ fixed the bug. Why did I change so much? The issue was a little underscoped.

The fun thing is to try to force your fellow devs to refactor piecemeal through comments on their pull requests.

What I don’t see is an explanation for why developing AI should be a priority. I don’t even think LLMs are really AI, so why should they get free poor plagiarism? I haven’t seen any convincing evidence that LLMs are a step towards AGI.

I am really dreading the LLM crime prediction future. It will be like a really bad version of Minority Report. CRIMESTOPPER 3000 says you’re a minority, you’re poor, and you criticize our largest shareholder, therefore you are going to jail to prevent your inevitable crime.

We should be powering these energy hogs off before they make the majority of us poorer.
