They insist on putting ever more important things (now it’s our souls and minds! lol and lmao) into ever more complex and failure-prone systems, none of these motherfuckers have built or maintained a computer in decades.

I’m sure whoever put money into that venture will see dramatically amazing returns, now there’s a founder that will not take the money and run.

It’s kind of a distinction without much discriminatory power: LLMs are a tool created to ease the task of bullshitting; used to produce bullshit by bullshitters.

Which also isn’t about either of those things.

My favorite meme message board on the internet keeps putting out bangers, but this one is extra good and relevant http://www.b3ta.com/board/11416629

Would you believe this prescient vibe coding manual came out in 2015! https://mowillemsworkshop.com/catalog/books/item/i-really-like-slop

Also he wrote borderline anti-woke stuff back when doing that could still appear edgy and icky.

Really wonder if his own pictures are included in the training set (as negative examples, of course)

So many projects and small websites I’m aware of are being overtaxed by shitty LLM scrapers these days, it feels like an intentional attack. I guess the idea of ai can’t fail, it can only be failed; and so its profiteers must sabotage anything that indicates it’s not beneficial/necessary.

This “insight” tool gives a very incisive critique of the opinion-page journalism we’ve been seeing lately. Oddly enough, not the kind of critique you’d see printed on an opinion page.

Just a couple more GPUs bro, I’m sure it’s around the corner

Ah, yes. The implication.

Thanks. I simply switched to Fastmail over this bullshit. (“Simply” mileage may vary)

They’ll react to it … by swerving further right.

Very normal tech persona behavior, but it’s made very special by the presence of that channel on yammer of all places.

I have some positive news, someone did the math: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452292924000493

Drawing on recent empirical evidence, we show that ending poverty and ensuring decent living standards (DLS) for all, with a full range of necessary goods and services (a standard that approximately 80% of the world population presently does not achieve) can be provisioned for a projected population of 8.5 billion people in 2050 with around 30% of existing productive capacity

Yeah, why do they dress expensively but shit? My suspicion is so that the kind of elites the Kravattennazis don’t like can snub them. Gives them street cred, the “elites” don’t like them!

Consider: making fun of the way they look not only hurts anyone who looks like them through no fault of their own (say, can only afford a shitty cut once every few months) but actively plays into the hands of those shitheels - they made you do a classism.

Let’s ridicule them for their garbage beliefs and their shitty actions; they sure deliver plenty of those.

Good: Now torture it

Shit, basilisk got hands
