Isn’t Stripe one of the growing alternatives?

I do believe MasterCard and Visa owners and execs are card holding Nazis.

I disagree with the EFF and ALA on this one.

These were entire sets of writing consumed and reworked into poor data without respecting the license to them.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if copyright wasn’t the only thing to be the problem here, but intellectual property as well. In that case, EFF probably has an interest in that instead. Regardless, I really think it need to be brought through court.

LLMs are harmful, full stop. Most other Machine Learning mechanisms use licensed data to train. In the case of software as a medical device, such as image analysis AI, that data is protected by HIPPA and special attention is already placed in order to utilize it.

Oh well. I’m just glad I can access all my files on NTFS so I don’t even have to migrate anything.

Maybe reinstall some games, and say no more to others, but that’s the way things be.

Neat!

Equation salad? It’s elegant. Well, according to my father who was a math professor.

Deriving that monstrosity must be something out of a grad school horror novel.

We must not create a machine to counterfeit human thinking. That could be the most important phrase in the entire thing.

Almost like there might already be a text or novels out there that warn on the dangers of mankind’s hubris.

I don’t. If it makes me a Luddite, I’m a Luddite.

What doesn’t change is that this is a train heading toward a derailment at highspeed while on fire.

Just today I had to walk through why GitHub copilot should not be used for security purposes. I explicitly told the engineer that a constructed url would be detected as a potential XSS vector by our vulnerability scans. They implemented several things, most of which did nothing. Finally, I grabbed the documentation on how to fix it, gave them the line number, gave them the function, and let them build and test it. It ran through the scans and of course it passed.

I get the desire from leadership. I really do. But I’m more interested in our products not costing us more, especially when the LLMs are going to fail the economy on a wide scale.

Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.

Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.

It’s a great insult.

Yeah, you’re probably right. If they had my level of experience they’re easily pulling in twice what I do as a rule of thumb

Wait that’s a good point.

If a child works as a porn actor/ess in Florida would they have had protections from the state?

Actually I don’t want to know the answer

It’s because we’re expensive. That’s the long and short of it.

10 developers in Silicon Valley can run you $1-$2m in salary alone (it’s more expensive with benefits added).

The industry constantly conspires to keep the salary of software engineers down. It does it cyclically too. In 2008 I was told I would have no problem getting a 6 figure job when I graduated by 2013. Of course the economy had other ideas. Same thing with the dot Com bubble.

I currently make double what I did 10 years ago. It doesn’t actually matter much as inflation and a divorce has had my costs balloon just as much, but it’s still loads more than any other job out there.

They’ll get what they want, one way or another. Then when none of their shit works they inevitably come back begging us and we request better pay and benefits again, because we know they do this. They don’t learn, much like those reliant on AI.

I hate to say it, but this is going to be so much worse than cloud everything when it all comes crashing down.

Because people won’t have AI to help them do anything. For some reason I get that’s kind of the idea.

Oh damn yo, I didn’t think about that

So wait. I make a deepfake AI as myself. Have it do my interview, get the job, keep the job long enough until they figure out I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing?

Any guides out there on how to do this?

But then someone else would have to maintain it for Linux, and Arch Linux specifically. That’s a lot of work, especially as things diverge from the features intended for an emulator (/s)

Man I can’t follow UK politics. I thought Labour was a progressive party

Idk man.

The AI could like take a voice recording, break it down, say sure thing! This is how you make a toasted turkey sandwich!

Then refuse to toast your bread until it knows you put turkey, lettuce,tomato and mayo on the bread

Toasters is, and always has been a better insult.

It needs to be plugged in, temperature set, then a button to turn bread into toast.

Basically calling a machine simple, single purposed, restrained, and relatively unconfigurable.

Yeah I start thinking about extreme property damage at 48 hours of work.
