Massive amounts of capital are shifting into AI tech. Neat! But it’s a mistake to stop investing in traditional devs, and I think the organizations that keep investing in talent will ultimately win.

Exactly.

Computers keep getting smarter, yet remain stubbornly stupid.

We can solve the stupid, but we won't, because solving that challenge is not as economical as continuing to hire a human computer handler, who has a natural talent for doing human stuff.

As in Asimov's novels, we may actually get really good at making computers handle particularly human tasks - shortly after human procreation goes out of style.

When do we want it? As soon as it can beat beginner atari chess?!?!

There's no time! We'll have to just go for it! (apparently)

As a non-chemistry person, I assume the red diamonds are to ensure I don't put this in my mouth?

I love this. It's beautiful. Thank you.

I'm tempted to commit to pretending that "Tribes" is a Linux distro that we're all worried will gain too much popularity and hurt the ecosystem...

Umm... Actually. 4.06%! Which still fully supports your point.

I couldn't resisit commenting on it though, because I'm on Lemmy and my act of commenting furthers your point, as well.

So everyone wins. Especially Linux on desktop. It wins twice, because I like it so much.

Good idea. That makes me wonder if voice over IRC is a thing. I feel like there might only be four people who know how to use it, but I bet I would enjoy hanging out with those four people.

That would be a perfect cover story if he's like a super spy, or something.

And that's critical, because it's one of the longest tutorials in game history (because it's so slow).

I've ganged up on Newt every time, after my first playthrough. Poor kid.

Haha. I would have done the exact same for the screenshot.

Plus, now you also have a cool hackerman screenshot.

Your setup is a making me KDE-curious, again.

My rating: 4/4 blank terminal windows.
