Thing is, without art to train on Gen AI is useless. So it steals training data, from artists. Then it steals work from the same artists by using the stolen data.

Tell me, where will the new training data come from when artists are not publishing because they aren’t getting work?

If you use Gen AI, it is obvious and makes you look like a no-tallent hack, and a grifter.

I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.

ICQ was still online!?!?!

I stopped using that shit like 25 years ago. Thought died in the late 90’s

Yeah… I’m not gonna worry about it until maybe September next year.

Pirrrrrrrr = Pir^8

I need a documenter!

I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.

My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

Now THAT’S a level of retaliation I can get behind.

All out interstellar war, and the eradication of all machines smarter than a light switch.

Your tip is “make another game and I’ll buy it because the last one was good”.

I bought your product and you want me to pay extra because it lived up to what it promised?

You want me to pay someone more for simply doing their job? If you aren’t paying them enough, that they needs tips to survive, that seems like an employer underpaying. If it’s tip or I fuck with your food or chase you down in the street… Then that’s extortion.

“But with proper wages instead of tips the cost goes up.” THE COST IS ALREADY UP BECAUSE OF THE TIP YOU IDIOT, except it isn’t standardised or garunteed.

“But if there is no tips to incentivise people they won’t give good service.” What ever happened to do your job, get paid. Fuck it up and get fired.?

All it does is introduces stress between customer and staff. And causes a sense of entitlement to tips for things that don’t need it at all. Why the fuck is a self-checkour machine asking for a tip!?

A tip should be for EXCEPTIONAL service. Not for the bare minimum.

Tipping culture can get fucked in the ass with a sideways chair.

This is the equivalent of “Don’t improve. Lower your expectations.”

The car was the slow part, I have an S23+.

The wrestling was figuring out getting BT audio ONLY.

And until I reset the head unit to factory previous users, contacts, radio stations and destinations were all stored there.

Not great on a rental car.

Not the whole phone obviously. But syncing all my contacts, recent calls etc.

Bro couldn’t even clean his room in 3 days.

Every site in the early 2000s had a left nav menu

I’m happy with a Bluetooth connection to the stereo. I have maps on my phone.

Fuck carplay/android auto in the ear.

I hate getting a rental car and I just want my music, but it tries to hijack and download my whole phone.

I want to get in, connect my phone and go. Not 20 minutes wrestling it for control.

Digital displays are fine. It’s just a display. But controls should be manual (buttons, dials, etc) that can be operated with eyes on road.

Licking is for mouses and touch-pads.

Use the onLick() event.

Software engineering… If you can lick it, you spelled “click” wrong. And that’s why your code won’t compile, you complete failure.

You bank does’t have an app?

My Australian bank has a full-featured app for apple and android. There is very little you can’t do in the app.

All the emergency, and stop my card type tasks are right there. I’d have to call for a home loan or something big. But pausing, stopping and cancelling my cards is all right there along with easy transfer etc.

Motherfucker!

If I was given an AI interview I would burn that place to the ground. The fucking disrespect.

It’s a real reference.

“Inscribed on it is a complaint to Ea-nāṣir about a copper delivery of the incorrect grade and issues with another delivery”

People make mistakes, that’s why we automate things. If a system relies on a human not making mistakes it is doomed to fail eventually.

Saving manually should be a feature, but autoaave should be on by default these days, unless 30+ years of people losing work due to not hitting “save” manually has taught us nothing.

Crashes happen. Errors happen. Pets and children happen. Any major document editor should be able to auto save and replay a very long history of actions.

Improve the system, because you can’t improve people with a code patch.
