I’m begging San Franciscans to not elect Scott Wiener. Holy shit.

New Mexico ain’t fuckin’ around. I am disappointed that the court saw fit to allow Meta to continue preying on seniors and adults, further poisoning our public discourse, but at least they’re holding Meta to account for a portion of their crimes.

prototyping is the slow part that makes the final build a matter of assembly.
quick prototyping just pushes the yard full of rakes into the final build process
I just got a letter from my bank saying "do not allow AI agents to have your payment information for any of your accounts."
Full stop. Just don't use any agents. It's dangerous.
I didn't contain additional language saying they won't protect you if they do, but I wonder if that could be next.
I wonder if other banks are doing the same.
Maybe they will ban them.
It seems reasonable that, if an agent makes a financial transaction, it ought to be identified as such, no?
People who love using AI to code are absolutely losing their minds when AI-generated code is labelled so consumers can make a choice. What's hilarious is how they label this as "politics" because it doesn't align with their desires. If AI generated code is so great, why would anyone be afraid of it being labelled?
This tweet by writer #FrancesCoppola is an excellent summary of why #ZionismIsRacism, and of the case for #AntiZionism.

It's not your imagination; RAM really *has* quadrupled in price over the past couple of years and it *is* as expensive as a decade ago (log scale):

As you all know, I'm a big fan of a good "AI sucks" argument but—no shade on Nolan intended here, I see where he’s coming from—I don't think this is it. At least, not for Hollywood
"AI" has hit a bunch of sectors pretty hard, but movie and sound currently have more problems than just new tech
The collapse of US media is more down to financial looting (e.g. scrapping movies for tax purposes), studio self-immolation, and shitty streamer economics than "AI"

indeed, this is the solution, as some of us have been saying for years...
I mean I'll tell you what happened - you had a great slate of exciting primary candidates who promised to do socialism and put nazis in jail, and then as soon as that happened the DNC/Third Way/Erza Klein shit all over it and started screaming about the DSA till those candidates started walking BACK their positions because the RAPIDLY VANISHING center demanded it. Now voter enthusiasim which was high, has tanked and that's why all your polls show the GOP gaining ground.
You suck at this.
The magical thing about the current moment is people can write 3,000 word essays on how AI is changing software development and just plop “I’ve never written any code btw” in the middle of it and carry on regardless without any shame or self-doubt.
Like, I don’t rock up to an oncology conference and start telling them about helping patients through chemo, but maybe I would if I had the unearned self-confidence of a digital transformation consultant with a $20/mo ChatGPT account.
Unbelievable.
