This is great and I love repairing things. I wish that repair skills would be taught in schools.

Honey, I ate the family photos to bulk up.

Ah, that was my first question: Where the hell does Gamestop take that kind of money from? I am actually surprised they “only” need to borrow 20bn.

“Doctor, I have severe chest pain. Do I have a heart attack?”

“Computer says no.”

For families, Tidal is even cheaper. But it’s majority owned by that Twitter asshole Jack Dorsey. Just another fucking billionaire.

There’s a window of attention for public discourse and there’s fatigue. We, as a group, can only be upset about so much. It’s a tried tactic to just try to distract us with some crazy shit, like Trump did with the alien files. If one crazy thing comes up in the news, other stuff will drop from our radar. And that’s why people try shit again and again and again. Always in the hope that this time people are distracted by other stuff or are finally worn down enough.

Why do I feel the declaration will be garbage and just allow tech bros to continue their bullshit.

It angers me when people use the US as an example to aspire to. The US are so broken and fucked up, if they’re doing something the default reaction should be to not do it because it’s most likely some idiotic, fucked up thing. They are a negative example.

I agree. I think that all AI companies need to crash and burn. But it’d be disingenuous to claim that what these models are doing is completely different than what humans are doing. Humans don’t pull stuff out of thin air. We are products of our upbringing and schooling. I say that, because I hate our current copyright laws with a burning passion and have done so long before LLMs showed up. It’s possible to hate copyright and AI companies.

And here we see someone realizing that “the market” is just made up and it’s all just gambling under another name.

You know, we’re at a point where news like this does not make me hopeful but rather sad instead. Because all I can think about is the fucking billionaire scum living even longer.

It’s probably a new manager for each iteration and they need to leave their mark by choosing a different name.

The amount of physical and engineering issues required to do this is insane. Veritasium just published a documentary about ASML’s chip fabs: https://youtu.be/MiUHjLxm3V0

I think it’s that and also more and all of it is wrong and disgusting.

Fwiw, I want as much screen as possible. Why waste space?

I agree with that. It is a bit like SO on steroids, because you can even skip the copy&paste part. And we’ve been making fun of people who do that without understand the code for many years. I think with AI this will simply continue. There is the situation of junior devs, which I am kind of worried about. But I think in the end it’ll be fine. We’ve always had a smaller percentage of people who really know stuff and a larger group who just writes code.

That perfectly mirrors my AI journey. I was very skeptical and my early tests showed shit results. But these days AI can indeed produce working code. But you still need experience to spot errors and to understand how to tell the AI what to fix and how.

With today’s internet, where a normal page is larger than the original Doom, throttled internet is basically no internet.

Nice story, but my god, the writing is shit.
