TechTakesYES LET’S NUKE THE FUCKING OCEAN. FUCK YOU FISH WE NEED OUR SLOP.
Finally a VCS that simulates the horrific results of cvs merge gone wrong, 20 years since the last time I used cvs.
We had an IRC bot at the first software company I worked at that ingested conversation along with all the contents of some books from Project Gutenberg, all for the purposes of making the bot say silly things.
Oh, it’s the usual suspects. For fucks sake.
A world of neverending “Fuck everyone involved” situations is a lot less fun than I would like to imagine. That said, Apple has probably perpetrated all sorts of theft on its own before the LLM era, so this is funny as all hell.
Elon’s sad birthday pics he posted using his sock puppet account where he pretends to be his mom should be a top level comment here, also is hilarious but sad.
not going on LinkedIn I would imagine.
Between this and Elon’s sad AI birthday party pics, I came to the conclusion that the default consensus for anything someone who’s wealth exceeds a certain amount says should be ruled horseshit with no further verification needed. Yeah, occasionally there will be a pony under all that shit but it ain’t worth digging for when it’s there.
Anyways, calling horseshit on this because even if parts of it aren’t, they aren’t important compared to the greater horseshit coming from a guy who has an autoimmune disease like Bryan Johnson, that disease being “everything out of Bryan Johnson’s mouth is horseshit”
I’m thinking about going back to school and seeking a manufacturing job because even though I have been doing software professionally for 22 years, the entire industry is fucked by short term thinking and ignoring consequences.
copper surfaces tend to discourage bacterial growth, which is an important feature for pipes that supply potable water where there isn’t a constant moving water supply. Having bacteria that thrive instead of die in the presence of copper means that your whole water supply can get a bacterial infection it cannot shake.
Someone wanted to marry that?
I’m going to take a guess that the reactor design is one of the boiling water reactors engineered in the 1950s.
Also jesus christ just build solar already it’s much easier than trying to design an entire nuclear fuel supply chain.
Also they couldn’t be arsed to make the eggs come from the goose’s arse.
CW: slides (and link to the original deck) from absolutely brain-melted SoftBank presentation.
Edit: there is video
to be fair, the plan would have worked if you had included the allotted number of goblins in the box in addition to the packing material.
“And then I said to her, ‘This Atlas is Shrugged but mine isn’t’, gesticulating at my crotch”
Still a fuck-everyone-involved but not as much as the Elon suit.
This is what you get when you take Dr. Strangelove (the character in the movie of the same name), Mr. Beast, and a bunch of K and mix it into a slurry and mainline it.
dogshit bread is the future, so you better get over it.
I think Trash Future had a great statement when Richard Dawkins was going on about Claudia that applies to this, which was “you don’t have put in the the newspaper that you hug your stuffed animals and tell them good night.”
The “C is too hard for the AI so have the AI rewrite it in Rust” take is just so galaxy-brained.
I’m waiting for the “who contributed what under what conditions”. I’m wondering how much of the supposed money follows a rather ovoid trajectory.
“Claude, write a strongly-worded letter explaining in great detail how upset I am make no mistakes.”
How does one give an embryo an IQ test.
Imagine the disappointment the rats must have felt when watching “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and wondering why all their heroes are getting their faces melted off.
Epic has no competition which is why it can do whatever it wants, like make garbage software and talk to garbage people.
joke is on us, Heaven’s Gate picked the right time to exit.
literally adding tons and tons to rockets simply to further petrocapitalism. Have to lift the diesel and enough O2 to allow it to combust.
All this from the same kind of people who think shifting to Solar is “woke”.
oh yeah, that happy horseshit.
I am ignorant of the Kardashev scale, is that measuring vibes or skulls?
Get in losers. We’re going imploding.
I don’t know mate, I think I do neither of those things because the kid-diddling natalist doesn’t seem to be good at making ones that don’t go boom.
Christ what a fucking shitweasel.
you give me 1.3 million dollars and I’ll fuck off on a motorcycle for the rest of my natural life and that would still be a better value for the money than whatever the fuck this is.
“we’re taking our primary product, a piece of tech used for collaborative development of software, and shitting some AI over it. You are all fired. Please clap.”
Our persona who art in Nvidia…
Good point, though GPT is telling me Goblin Boots make the best hammers.
Yeah, the comparison to a metal lathe (I’m assuming that’s what is meant by “machine lathe") irks me. Metal lathes are useful tools that come in a variety of sizes, can be operated independently of their manufacturer’s wishes, and on the bigger ones, a sufficient lack of respect will kill you and it will hurt the entire time you are dying.
I wouldn’t compare llms to any sort of useful physical tool. I don’t have to plead with my screwdriver to not cam out screw heads, I just need to be cognizant of how I am using it. I don’t have to beg my hammer “please don’t hit my thumb”, I just need to not be an ape/buzzed while swinging it. I respect physical tools and their use in part because they do work and in part because improper operation will cause you to have a bad time. Nobody at Estwing has publicly said “well mate, we’re going to capture all your hammering and rent it back to you”. Nobody at Bridgeport gleefully reported that their tooling will cause massive unemployment because it is so good.
I do not respect LLMs because LLMs might still kill you but only in the stupidest way possible, and because their main proponents have no respect for anything and this has been made painfully obvious over and over again. Would using them allow me to craft better sneers about them? Perhaps, but I shouldn’t need to do that because the people at the top of these things are evil and while that alone should be enough, their biggest boosters are credulous idiots and many of them were already awful well before we were playing enterprise pretend on the scale of billions of dollars.
In conclusion, I would ask software people to stop comparing shit software to useful tools.
Finally a “fuck everyone involved here” that I can get excited about.
more as someone who has recently installed Debian onto a laptop last month. Honestly last time I used Xubuntu was on a candy G4 tower around 2007.
