Despite worrying my brains out about getting deported from my home of 14 years because I wasnāt born in this godforsaken place, Iām extremely excited that Elon will get fired in the next 6 months or less. Gives me life to think about him getting very publicly humiliated by an even greater piece of shit than he is.
Ohhhh, so this is a forced-birther agenda item. Got it
Hate to break this, but https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/elon-musk-x-corp-alex-jones-infowars-rcna180487
Seems he is now fully sold on the idea that this is his world, weāre just living in it.
Microsoft found a fitting way to punish AI for collaborating with SEO spammers in generating slop: make it use the GitHub code review tools. https://github.blog/changelog/2024-10-29-refine-and-validate-code-review-suggestions-with-copilot-workspace-public-preview/
Right, sure he picked the most glorified fantasy race out there, ābut evilā. When in reality heās a Duergar at best:
Personality Tyrannical, grim, industrious and pessimistic,[11][20] the lives of the gray dwarves were bleak and brutal. Rather than a flaw, however, they viewed their lack of happiness as their greatest strength, the defining feature of duergar pride.
Sounds about right for the joyless world he imagines his ideal society would represent.

Edit: TIL about the US copyright office websiteās ai generation info on works. Thatās a thing we will be making a bunch of use of, I imagine.
My pal dug these up:

They have issues providing commentary and caveats, and are in Chinese, ofc. And also take all of this with several boatloads of salt.
Apparently there are two GitHub repos up with strongly conflicting information on what happened, this is gonna be a three-buckets-of-popcorn incident.
They added sleeps to training jobs? Sounds like they deserve a raise for improving energy efficiency insteadā¦
I would definitely hate to be burdened with an IQ. Such a terrible thing to be born with
A pal posed the theory that Matt Wordpress acts like he got ejected from some polycule and now I canāt unsee it
Iām temporarily-boating up to Boston
Itās the parable of the drowning man turning away all help because god will save him, all over again (except itās floods and mudslides and forest fires)
Yes we do AGIle: we ask ChatGPT what our customers want and then ask it to write software to fulfill those requirements. Every two weeks it writes up some imaginary sprint retrospective meeting notes. Planning poker doesnāt work so well, this iteration isnāt so good at bluffing yet.
The industry called it āfield engineeringā previously, and ācustomer supportā prior to that; renames happened every time the execs heard how this portion of their business is only a cost center and can easily be done by chat bots (to which the customer success people would say, good luck with that).
Ok but is the orange wallpaper better in HD?
Eh, itās destroying a common good to extract resources (landscape / minerals, electricity / numberwang). I say the shoe fits.
Cold fusion only needs another 10 years to bake, but then itāll be awesome.
Hm, I donāt really see the sneer. They wrote a nasty bug, got notified and had a patch out for it within 36h. The remediations look reasonable too: better privacy, less firebase, actual security audits; even the bounty program is probably the right call (but they result in so many shit reports, itās probably a wash).
I gotta admit Iām kind of partial to them and their browser? Itās the non-Brave one that ships with an Adblocker by default, has much nicer UI than the existing ones, and the sync thing isnāt half bad (if it doesnāt sync security badness to all your instances, ouch). Sure they sound like a cult but I guess thatās how browser dev gets funded since the 1990s.
Huh. Say more?
