I feel bad for the gullible ND people who spend time applying to this thinking they might have a chance and it isn't a high level coverup attempt.

Otoh, somebody should take some fun drugs and tape their interviews, see how it works out. Are there any Hunter S Tech journalists around?

Him fellating musk re tesla is funny considering the recent stories about reliability abd how the market is doing. And also the roadster 2, and the whole pivot to ai/ROBOTS!

(The author being positive on the theoretical SpaceX going public vs a little bit later the reactions of the spacex subreddit on Musk actually saying they will go public later is a funny split of opinions. The subreddit saw it as a betrayal https://bsky.app/profile/niedermeyer.online/post/3ma4hvbajns2d).

The electrons is turning into an annoying shibboleth. Also going to age oddly if more light based components really kick off. (Ran into somebody who is doing some phd work on that, or at least that is what I got from the short description he gave).

Getting mad because developers have not had time to update a piece of code that wraps another piece of code and blaming it on the language is in interesting choice.

Telling a whole project 'your language sucks you should rewrite it in my pet language' is always a nice classic of the nerd genre. (Happy I never got a big language hangup like that. (Apart from a short bit of a dislike of functional programming languages, but that was just due to a bad early experience)).

Why do they think they are going to have any input in genAI development either way?

Anyway seeing a previous wave of shit burden you with a lot of unrelated work after deployment isnt the best reason to now start burdening yourself with a lot of unrelated work before the new wave of shot is here. But sure good luck learning how LLMs work mathematically Kevin.

Yeah, it also has an element of 'it is one of the few words you can add to search engines which give you a hope of a good result' and not regular users who see the shit, or got offered nfts.

Somebody wrote an article that seems to be especially designed to piss people like us off. https://testdouble.com/insights/anyone-can-code-software-is-having-its-ratatouille-moment

I saw it and I'm spreading my pain around. (As an additional bonus, the site jumps back upwards in the text for me constantly).

A few people on bsky were claiming that at least reddit is still good re the AI crappification, and they have no idea what is coming.

Sir a NaNth deletion has hit the home directory.

It gets worse, our local anti piracy org BREIN went after smaller llms for copyright infringement. But nothing about the big ones it seems.

From too big to fail to too big to sue.

Pua is a good example, as their ur text, the game already shows how predatory towards men it got, but they seem to have been annoyed tha the 'sociopath' dared to use their methods and fellow men and not just women. And that is if we see Strauss as a geek, and not a 'sociopath' (a thing he feared iirc when he revealed he was a journalist).

Iirc (was a while ago I read it) one of the big problems with the gms article imho is that it doesn't really make clear that this is only talking about a specific type of sociopath (or in other words it redefined the term, so normal stuff doesnt apply. Rao’s Gervais Principle has the same problem. no shock there.), more like someone who hurts the subculture ingroup. That in a lot of subcultures the geeks are also sociopaths to the outgroup isnt really considered. (See as a big example, metal/rock or even worse their subculture: nsbm, the former are often quite abusive to various people (esp women, who often were not considered to be able to be part of the ingroup, but also general rockstar asshole behavior) and the latter case they are basically neonazis. But also just how much the article seems to dislike mops and strawmans them (oddly this part of the article also feels very much like he doesnt understand what actually goes into organizing stuff, as a minor sort of fanatic type myself who has helped out at things. Mops are fine, this 'Fanatics may be generous, but they signed up to support geeks, not mops.' is utter crap, it also feels a bit protoincel re the whole sociopaths sleep with the best mops).

Here’s the bottom line: I have no idea what motivated Cremieux to include Burt’s fraudulent data, but even without it his visual is highly misleading, if not manipulative

Well, the latter part of this sentence gives a hint at the actual reason.

And the first comment is by Hanania lol, trying to debunk the fraud allegations by saying that is just how things were done back then. While also not realizing he didnt understand the first part of the article. Amazing how these iq anon guys always react quick and to everything. Also was quite an issue on Reddit, where just a small dismissal of IQ could lead to huge (copy pasted) rambling defenses of IQ.

The author is also calling Richard out on his weird framing.

I might be able to borrow a digital copy and run a search through it, but im afk for now.

Did they? Dont think Rand thought that far and the robots were fan fiction.

Now I'm sad. And worried.

Not in a position to watch that, but looking at the description, please tell me they are joking.

At least we have Romero. Hoe had an edgelord phase, but only when younger and realized he fucked up.

Somebody on bsky mentioned this is prob because Disney wants to be seen on the stockmarket as a tech company, and not a cartoon/theme park company.

(See how Tesla went from cars to self driving to now robots)

But paying workers gives workers money, which means you lose. Instead of buying a robot, which gives another capitalist/company money, which means they win. They are the most class conscious class.
