Speaking as someone who already has access to personal superintelligence, I can assure Mr. Zuckerberg that it has no effect on one's material conditions.

If you care about a livable future for humanity on this planet, don’t use AI. Just don’t. Not for shopping, condensing literature to shortcut reading or for writing your homework, not for anything so trivial. The small amount of special use cases is enough.

I’ve got very little patience for software engineering “professionals” coming into this thread to pretend that LLMs are good at finding bugs, as if we’re not in the same profession and I haven’t been forced to use the fucking things

all research not funded directly by AI corporations shows they’re fucking terrible at finding bugs and introduce many more than they fix, and that’s in line with personal experience

the machine will constantly gaslight you into thinking your code is riddled with bugs and it’s fixing them, and by pure luck it might even be right! you’re very likely to remember the times it’s right more than the times it absolutely fucks it

it also really, really wants your code to be a formless blob, and the thing’s output will get hilariously manipulative if you push back on it at all, as you would with a person reviewing your code. and people using an LLM to review your code will get real shitty with you too, cause the machine said you’re wrong.

@mcv @mhpotter Effective Altruism was initiated by Eliezer Yudkowsky. That "field" is burned. You do not enter the playing field and position yourself as the good ones in that field.

It's like saying, well, Hitler did a lot of harm to the idea of Nazism, but I can turn the ship around and be one of the "good Nazis" steering the Nazi ideology into a proper direction.

I am now willing to describe the Linux Foundation as "a force for evil in the world"

"you'll never need to look at source code again" is what someone says as a prelude to making the source code entirely untrustworthy

It's actually Woke √-1.0, since everything the shitheads are complaining about is imaginary. Cops are still pigs on overtime. What changed? Louie CK had to stop cranking it for a minute?

Things Trump has done that military families didnt feel was disqualifying:

Started a coup
Convicted of rape
Prolific in the #EpsteinFiles
Held Epstein Files back illegally
Stole classified docs
Kidnapped a president
Built concentration camps
#ICE killing citizens
Protecting ICE to kill more citizens
Deporting people to third world countries
Forcing children to defend themselves in court
....

In my opinion its a waste of time and effort wondering such things

"If the rich don't get more money, they will have no incentive to continue to be productive. But if the poor do get more money, they will have no incentive to continue to be productive."

This isn't economics or psychology. It's hypocrisy. It's predation.

It's class warfare.

Congrats to them for refusing to pay the ShinyHunters ransom. However, I haven't seen any kind of actual breach notification. Not so good.

43% of nonunion workers say they would vote to unionize if they could.

“It’s high time lawmakers translate the public’s near-record support for unions into policy.”
