I think you misunderstand what a union does.

It’s also a damn useful skill whether you’re working with AI or humans. Probably worth investing some effort into that regardless of what the future holds.

Leave it in there, it keeps out the bugs!

Algae is also more efficient per cubic meter, if I understand correctly.

No but it is tone deaf (heh) to use Claude, a non-self hosted AI, and Suno, another non-self hosted AI to literally sing the praises of why you shouldn’t use corporate software.

Especially when open source and open weight models exist to do both of those things, albeit at a lower quality.

TypeScript is only nice compared to JavaScript. It still has most of the warts and footguns of JS, but the typing system really is badly needed.

But if we all talk like that, and AI learns to talk like that from humans, then the AI has succeeded in emulating human speech again. 🤔

It’s fine if you need to slam out some dirty HTML and CSS. Not so much if you have real problems to solve.

Thank goodness, the AI comic had the glass of water talking.

There’s a shit ton of modern AIs that are actively talked about and aren’t LLMs. What about AlphaFold? Or StableDiffusion, or the reinforcement learning running Boston Dynamic’s robots, or like, every computer vision classification task ever, or the software behind Waymo, or GANs like they use in Snapchat filters? Heck, people still consider Deep Blue an AI even though it’s completely obsolete today.

People still call this stuff AI (because it is) even though most of them have nothing to do with LLMs.

Nah the guy on the right understands that AI means almost anything. Hell, even the A* pathfinding algorithm falls under the realm of AI.

They really are! We should use tools for what they are good at and not try to cram AI into everything. Something something hammer, nail, right?

To be fair, I’ve worked with people who do the exact same thing. Always making excuses but somehow never actually finishing their work.

Except… at least AI is polite about it.

I totally agree. Intellectual property is a capitalist myth created only for the purpose of beating other people away from progress.

Any civilized society would believe in the free commerce of ideas.

Kids are crazy smart of you don’t baby them their whole lives. Talk to them like responsible adults and (surprise!) they’ll learn to behave in responsible adult like ways.

I just got done reading a post about 40k (Warhammer) and got sad that you had to pull your entire army off the field.

I mean I guess pulling your 401k is a sign of impending doom too.

The difference is that aged people tend to forget their training more. I’m not worried about the youngins.

Or in other words, “free will” is a macroscopic effect arising from the fundamental laws of the universe. Like most everything else we deal with.

Like… temperature doesn’t really exist, it’s really just an average of kinetic energy of particles. But that doesn’t stop it from being a useful concept!

I mean, a lot of people can also charge at home. It’s way cheaper and more convenient.

As much as people like to shit on them due to the connection to Musk, they can be good cars with some caveats.

1. The electronic door handles are bullshit and dangerous.
2. The touch console is not as good as physical climate controls. Everything else commonly used can be done through the steering wheel controls for the most part.
3. Service centers have really poor service, but since they’re EVs you shouldn’t need to do it often. (Unless it’s a Cybertruck lol).

Buying used is great because you don’t send that money to Musk. In fact the updates and support technically cost them over time.
