I honestly don’t get what people were so up in arms about, besides just not wanting to change what already worked for them.

Because your “art” looks like everyone else’s AI “art” and it doesn’t make you look creative or skilled, it just makes you look like a tool.

Yeah, I realized that as soon as I posted it.

You know what this is launching just in time for?

Tax season.

Cue* 10 million people getting audited because they let their browser file their taxes for them.

Being queer and in IT, there’s a decent chance Alan Turing would have been a furry.

Let that sink in.

Joshington?

Jhleswig-Holstein?

I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they’re barely capable of it themselves to begin with.

It’s glorified autocorrect (/predictive text).

People fight me on this every time I say it but it’s literally doing the same thing just with much further lookbehind.

In fact, there’s probably a paper to be written about how LLMs are just lossily compressed Markov chains.

That’s funny, I didn’t notice that lol

Animals never had a war

Guess they call what happened in Tanzania in 1974 a “chimp police action” instead.

“AI bubble causing economic collapse” here.

That’s probably based on the first definition because you can play either an ascending or descending scale.

Also the music staff kinda looks like a ladder.

I was thinking about this the other day and realized something:

Back when the modern Santa character was first being developed, coal was a genuinely useful thing. It was fuel for the stove which heated your house and cooked your food. It was a basic necessity of life.

If you were naughty, Santa didn’t just give you nothing. You weren’t going to get an awesome toy, but he made sure you weren’t going to freeze to death on Christmas, either.

Santa believes everyone deserves to live. That having a warm place to sleep is a basic human right.

This might be /r/im14andthisisdeep material, but I just thought that was interesting.

Why would you bring up C# in a thread about kernel programming?

You go ahead and write an OS kernel in C# then.

Because Rust lets you choose when something is unsafe vs writing all unsafe in code all the time:

Note the other 159 kernel CVEs issued today for fixes in the C portion of the codebase

Yeah but on the second incarnation, wouldn’t that put you right back where you started?

What happens to the guy that was driving it? Does he just blink out of existence when the car shuts off? That’s my question. You might argue that there is no such thing, but my own conscious experience proves to myself that there’s something else there. I want to know what happens to that part.

Hell, for all I know, you might just be a soulless meatbag automaton, and there really is no one in the driver’s seat for you. Or I could just be the only actual human talking in a thread full of bots. With 90% of the training data going into LLMs being vapid contrarian debates on social media, I could easily see that being the case here.

I’m not expecting or planning for anything, that’s kind of the point. I’m not expecting one specific outcome. It’s actually really freeing, because I’m not stuck searching for meaning in an existence that offers none.

And if it turns out that it does all just go black, it won’t be my problem anymore, will it?
