You're kind of a dick, maybe you're in the wrong instance?

It's so bizarre to see AI get the benefit of a superposition of states where we all admit that these are not machines capable of thought, yet at the same time go through these stupid exercises where we pretend that they are.

AI Spam

Have you ever read an article of his in full? Literally packed with facts and numbers backing up his arguments

As an aging dev, we kind of do deserve some of this flak lol. Funny thing is, I went into SD because my first STEM degree made me as unemployable as a humanities major (a B.S. in physics is good for not much).

Been a touch typist for a while now, but I prefer my IBM Model M as a daily driver. I have a new modern take on the IBM Model F coming in in a few weeks that I'm very stoked about. Buckling spring switches are the best keyboard types ever made.

Where'd you end up? Jealous btw, trying to get out myself.

For instance, in 2013, there were a lot of complaints about Amazon avoiding sales taxes and engaging in predatory behavior around book pricing. How did Jeff Bezos answer this charge? “Amazon is not happening to book selling,” he said, “the future is happening to book selling.” I see a lot of similarities between that political language and the AI discourse.

This is the reason I like Matt's blog, since I think one of the big things about AI isn't just the technology (though I have tons of complaints there), it's also about the politics around this tech. We just have a bunch of monopolists running around saying "you're not ready for the future" as a way to just enforce existing power structures.

The number of people basically advocating for this in the comments is honestly depressing

No child deserves to die that way. What a horrible take.

What rail? We have Amtrak but it's laughable even compared to the poorest European countries. It's cars or nothing baby.

I'm basically 40 and deadlift in the 700s pretty frequently. You can bulletproof your back if you have the will
