They’re not starving.

So many school problems could have been solved by saying “you guys are dumb fucks.”

I mean the teacher saying that.

I agree, but some places there’s simply no option. I have a state job, they will under no circumstances provide a phone, but you must have Authenticator. If you won’t or can’t use a smartphone, you simply don’t have a job.

State jobs are interesting. 3/4 the pay of a regular job, but job security like none other, and you barely have to do anything. I spend most of my time doing my moonlighting job to supplement my income.

If the raincloud wasn’t dour and clearly unhappy I’d agree.

And now they’re the only one banned from it.

That’s not the vibe the company has been giving so far. Their staff is way more philosopher heavy than MBA heavy. I am planning on their morality being flushed away if/when an IPO happens, because shareholder supremacy cancels out anything else. But so far, they’ve been an interesting case.

And not a single person in this thread has a suggestion on how to move forward, just complaints that the system is irretrievably broken. Well shit, let’s all crawl into a hole and die.

Criticism is only useful when paired with suggestions on how to fix. Otherwise it’s griping at best.

Two years ago: “They expect us to rely on this for code that actually compiles?”

So yeah in another year or two what you describe will be common, sure.

OpenClaw is like the insane libertarian cousin of all the AI products tho, it’s bizarre that people are using this in production scenarios considering how it behaves.

In school we were taught to look for hidden meaning in word problems - checkov’s gun basically. Why is that sentence there? Because the questions would try to trick you. So humans have to be instructed, again and again, through demonstration and practice, to evaluate all sentences and learn what to filter out and what to keep. To not only form a response, but expect tricks.

If you pre-prompt an AI to expect such trickery and consider all sentences before removing unnecessary information, does it have any influence?

Normally I’d ask “why are we comparing AI to the human mind when they’re not the same thing at all,” but I feel like we’re presupposing they are similar already with this test so I am curious to the answer on this one.

Yeesh. As a queer teenager in the 90s, I definitely remember TV reenforcing my fears and reducing me to a punchline. And then Will & Grace happened, and I couldn’t stand the stereotypes, but suddenly people were laughing with us instead of at us. Representation matters so much. Even if it’s not the best, it still matters.

There’s one a block from my house, and three blocks from my work, so they can see me coming and going each direction.

…BRB

With that bow on it, it strikes me as maternity. Fortunately I learned not to comment on people’s pregnancies until the child is 12 or so.

Once you have a few million dollars, you aren’t gay or straight anymore. You’re just a person who fucks people. There is no community within him, there is no care or compassion for others, the queer community rejects him, he can’t be one of us even in name. He’s just a billionaire who fucks men. And they’re OK with anything that comes after “billionaire” by nature.

And Bananarama was so named for their high-fidelity recordings which were performed, mixed, and recorded entirely on bananas.

Yep cloud providers definitely came up with the AI boom in a roundabout conspiracy to end PCs. Total direct chain there.

They’ve backed off this and ended the partnership, claim Flock never got any footage, which I think is a total lie.

They’ll re-partner when the heat is off, or just do it silently, Amazon shouldn’t be trusted. Explain why to your friends and neighbors.

Around here you have to pay the property taxes for several years in a row, if the actual owners realize after a few years and start again, you’re just out the money. Which… seems like a good way to only pay your property taxes once every few years, if you don’t mind your property going to hell (lots of folks around here do not, based on the number of burnt out houses).

Civil forfeiture could actually be improved in some cases, like if you just give up and move along and your house is a nuisance attracting crime and squatters, your neighbors should be able to fix that by petitioning for ownership, instead of having to wait until the house is worthless and likely burned down for anything to be possible.

Where was the outrage - and where IS it still - about PCs and circuit manufacturing that allowed the computing revolution to occur? The negative externalities have always been kids getting cancer, growing up scavenging metals from landfills in other countries. Whole generations of people.

Just about everything we do has negative externalities like that. Plastic recycling, textile production, the labor used to build houses and harvest crops in the US.

I’m not trying to tu quoque anyone here, because we should be able to criticize things even though we participate in those or other problematic issues. But it seems like the AI hatred is so strong on this site, and it’s absent any other hatred and outrage that could have long been a focal point up until now. We get it, you hate AI, which has been around for a few years in LLM form and hasn’t been perfected yet, even though consumer electronics companies have still not managed to meet their environmental goals after decades, and you’re certainly using those devices to your hearts content.

Sometimes I think Lemmy should just be renamed “We fucking hate AI and will never budge on that.”

I agree 100% but also this is like when you watch your brother punch your dad to make him stop hitting your mom, and you know you’re going to get the shit kicked out of both of you later for it.

…unless one of your grabs the crowbar and goes for broke…

Hey blue states…
