Tell Luna you've been a bad boy/girl/etc and need to be punished and see what she does.

I was taught to take off every Zig, not install them! Clearly it was a more innocent time.

I wonder if this is going to hold out long enough to get some obnoxious AI-first language created that is designed to have as obnoxiously picky of a compiler as it can in order to try and turn runtime errors that the model can't cope with into compile failures which it can silently retry until they're 'fixed'

Today in excellent cold opens: "I didn't talk to ChatGPT, I never have. Instead, I took a load of edibles and laid down in the driveway with the hose on. I produced nothing of value and wasted a ton of water, but at least I ate three protein bars so I'm so healthy."

Between this shit and the oncoming tech-inflicted recession, my wife and I are both reskilling out of tech. I'm looking into electrician and she's looking into accounting. Two fields that are, at least in theory, sufficiently motivated by accuracy and reality to be at least somewhat protected from the rise and fall of the confabulatron.

We'll see how it goes, but God if that "Burn in hell" doesn't just hit me right in the soul.

I had to try and talk my wife back from the edge a little bit the other night and explain the difference between reading the published evidence of an actual conspiracy and qanon-style baking. It's so easy to try and turn Epstein into Evil George Soros, especially when the real details we have are truly disturbing.

Now I'm just imagining an AI quarterback and the whole team revolting at following plays called by something that won't end up at the bottom of the 1000lb pile of meat if they fuck it up.

...well that's a goddamn experience. I appreciate that some folks are out here fighting the good fight, however.

Also despite being a less-than-zero effort attack please note that as of sharing we have one successful "corruption" (i.e. a comment about zucchini and API keys) and two comments from bots too stupid to coherently understand the OP at all.

The AI bubble keeps radicalizing me further by letting me know that there exists a class of people who are able and willing to pay $300 a day to have a stupid chatbot expose their PII to hackers and maybe set appointments for them just so long as they don't have to interact with a poor person for whom that would be a life-changing amount of money.

Quick, someone nail your 95-page blog post to the front door of lighthaven or whatever they call it.

As someone who does kind of like the Golarion setting and enjoyed his time with Pathfinder I'm deeply frustrated to see Yud and company tear all the actual interesting worldbuilding out of Cheliax in order to use the concept of an explicitly lawful evil theocracy to avoid cognitive disonnance about how fucking evil their various eugenics fantasies are. Because of course they're evil, but what if...

The accountability sink backfires since in order to sell this they have to acknowledge how much of a role they play in the process, rather than being simply a platform that connects applicants to openings and doesn't make decisions.

 

Apparently we get a shout-out? Sharing this brings me no joy, and I am sorry for inflicting it upon you.
