This era must be a golden age if you're a dipshit scumbag.

Nah I'm good.

I'm all for charity, but an annoying thing about giving money to charity is that once you do they'll never stop spamming you for more money. "Hey remember that time you gave us money? Want to give us more? Money? Money Please? Money? Money?" Man, I'm not rich I just wanted to help out once.

This is how we had to get information before the Internet.

As an experiment, try leaving work 2 hours early every day until your boss notices. When they do tell them "It's cool, I used AI to get 8 hours of work done in 6 hours!" Report back and tell everyone how that went.

When I say using AI is lazy, a common retort is, why do unnecessary work? Aren't all productivity tools lazy? I'm talking about carelessness, not level of effort. There's no attention to detail in genAI outputs, that's why it's lazy, it's just another way to cut corners.

Maybe tomorrow, Satan.

this is the thing about automation, as every automation Knower will tell you: you automate the repetitive tasks; the more variability and idiosyncracy there is (aka the real world) the fewer zeroes you get after the decimal on reliability, pretty soon the results are unacceptable

Saving this now to make up for not saving a screenshot of the polls in 2006 saying the 2008 election was going to be between Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani.

Kind of bonkers how doing the "very responsible adult in the room moderate centrist" thing leads you to extreme positions like genocide denial.

The plural of dingus is dingii.

If genAI is inevitable, why do they care about people criticizing it? Why do they care about local communities pushing back against data centers? If it's inevitable, that's all irrelevant right? You can just brush that all off, sit back and wait silently as they're all proven wrong.

sure yeah, can't even make a stick figure without fucking up and no one at the company gives enough of a shit to even give it another pass but go ahead and take my money so i can use this lazy shit technology every day too

I see in the trending topics that it's talk like a pirate day. Honestly surprised that's still a thing, I thought that died with the rest of the awful The Oatmeal era "le epic bacon" millennial humor.

"Politically homeless" has got to be one of the stupidest terms I've ever heard.

This post is so fucking stupid I created an account to point it out. Makes no sense, Kid Rock is a PoS, and if you think Macklemore is one, you are a gigantic PoS. And there are five stages of grief.

I don't know how I would go on day to day if I was working on something that everybody hated.

A thing I don't get about AI Doomerism is that it's incredibly expensive to run. If superintelligent AI set out on a mission to destroy humanity, who is paying the tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in compute that would cost? Would no one notice? And what happens when the money runs out?

How is it that we designed a whole system of government where the goal was to try to ensure no individual had too much power, but nobody considered that money is also power and the power held by a single person with a vast sum of money is just as much or more of a threat as any government official?

"Software was buggy before AI!" This is true, but the problem is twofold. First, bugs are easier to fix when you've written the code yourself, because you have an intuition about what the problem might be. Second, the rate at which it introduces bugs is faster than the rate they can be resolved.

What does this even mean? Debating his stance on his opponent? How one candidate feels about the other is the voters top priority? "If elected, I will enact my no Ken Paxtons allowed policy" It's funny seeing this busted ass bullshit and thinking about the CTO crashing out over people not liking AI

A pet peeve of mine is when someone responds to an analogy with "those aren't the same thing!" Of course they're not, it's an analogy! Literally an analogue - a thing that is similar. If they were the same thing, it wouldn't be an analogue anymore, it would just be another example of the thing!

It's weird how we just decided that people who go to ivy league schools get to run the country and nobody questions it. Like, why? It's just an athletic conference. It's not like it's some incubator imbuing people with superhuman abilities that make them superior to everyone else.

I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on

Ghosts have the ability to scare evil wealthy people into changing their attitude, and they only used that power to make one dude not be such an asshole on Christmas?
