Not even that. If they were pro-birth, they’d at least be in favor of easy access to prenatal healthcare. But they’re always opposed to that, too.

They’re just pro-pregnancy. They don’t give a shit if a woman’s pregnancy is viable or not, let alone whether carrying the fetus to term will kill the woman or not.

With shit like this going on, right-wingers who pretend it’s the left censoring speech can fuck themselves sideways with a pineapple.

17 months, 25 days of fucking around, followed by five days of hurriedly entering prompts into ChatGPT?

After working on a team that uses LLMs in agentic mode for almost a year, I’d say this is probably accurate.

Most of the work at this point for a big chunk of the team is trying to figure out prompts that will make it do what they want, without producing any user-facing results at all. The rest of us will use it to generate small bits of code, such as one-off scripts to accomplish a specific task - the only area where it’s actually useful.

The shine wears off quickly after the fourth or fifth time it “finishes” a feature by mocking data because so many publicly facing repos it trained on have mock data in them so it thinks that’s useful.

In our case, there are enough upper management folks who are opposed to it that I doubt it will last or ever be enforced. For people like me, it really doesn’t make any sense to enforce it in the first place, because all of my teammates are in other states and countries.

Making me go to the office just means you can’t schedule early meetings with me, because I’ll be commuting during that time.

Isn’t that literally an act of war against Qatar?

My office just did the same thing. And the backlash is enormous. No one wants it. No one likes it.

The funny thing is that I’m actually an Arch user. I’m just not a dick about it.

Yeah, this sucks. Use the distro you like, people.

That’s how it’s done, yep.

Not the person you asked, but I do that sometimes. For instance, when I want to watch a specific video but I don’t want having watched it to affect other video recommendations.

Soooo… Child trafficking?

Thanks. I didn’t see that in the article originally, though I may have just missed it. It’s also possible the article was updated.

Good fucking God, we’re so cooked.

Here’s the list from the article:

• Australia
• Austria
• Belgium
• China
• Czechia
• Denmark
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• India
• Italy
• Japan
• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• Norway
• Russia
• Singapore
• South Korea
• Spain
• Sweden
• Switzerland
• Taiwan
• Thailand
• United Kingdom

I’ve highlighted a few I think will have particular impact.

I didn’t think that’s confirmed. The shooter had long hair and was named “Robin,” which is a very gender-neutral name. Do you have a source confirming they were trans?

There’s also the fact that what we are currently calling AI isn’t, that there are better options that aren’t environmental catastrophes (I’m hopeful about small language models), and that no one seems to want all the “AI” being jammed into every goddamn thing.

No, I don’t want Gemini in my email or messaging, I want to read messages from people myself. No, I don’t want Copilot summaries of my meetings in Teams, half the folks I work with have accents it can’t parse. Get the hell out of my way when I’m trying to interact with actual human beings.

And I say that as someone whose job literally involves working with LLMs every day. Ugh.

Which is why I have never and will never download the app, go to the website, or otherwise watch any TikTok content.

I still have enough of an attention span to read actual books and watch full-length movies, and I want to keep it that way.

Dunno why you’re being downvoted, that there was a solid reference.

I set up a WAF for my company’s publicly facing developer portal to block out bot traffic from assholes like these guys. It reduced bot traffic to the site by something like - I kid you not - 99.999%.

Fucking data vultures.
