It doesn’t work because the car’s front is shaped to minimize drag, and a turbine would add drag — forcing the motor to work harder to maintain speed. Turbines generate energy by resisting airflow, not letting it slide past. So you’re not harvesting free energy; you’re paying for it with more fuel or battery.

Who knows, maybe in the long run LLMs will save humanity in this age of engagement based on anger that social media created.

Have you read The Time Machine book where the humans in the future were all morons and weak because we turned the world into a safe place that didn’t represent any challenge for us anymore?

The author described them like gnomes just playing around with the intelligence of little children.

And I don’t care if something is written by AI. As people we care about the quality of the output.

We know AI by default just creates slop but with a human in the loop, it’s possible to get inspiration for scenes, brainstorming, discuss ideas etc.

I think a good writer would use it this way.

That’s Game Theory right there.

The algorithms optimized for engagement with no ethics was the point the world starts going downhill.

Yeah, but the kernel is a low-level module that handles hardware, memory, and processes—it’s not what users interact with directly, so sharing the same kernel doesn’t make it all that similar as you’d think.

What makes Linux feel like ‘Linux’ to users is the stuff on top: the userland—bash, coreutils, package managers, X11/Wayland, etc. Android replaces almost all of that, so even though it uses the Linux kernel, it doesn’t feel like Linux.

But… but… those good ol’ days felt so good! We need to relive those days!

I’ll wait until they kill it two months from now.

I gotta say, I actually enjoyed the time programming for BlackBerry. It was the only time I actually did C++/Qt professionally. And the APIs were very inspired on the iOS/MacOS ones, so it was kinda easy for me to migrate later to iOS.

But just the same way, the guys in the university lab back then got a few BB10 devices just for sending apps to their app store.

I had a similar story with BlackBerry 10

So with all this AI usage, surely developing for all browsers should be a breeze now, right? Right??

Even with a premium account I’m stopping using YouTube little by little ever since they made their forced translation of titles and these AI voices that make the experience for bilingual people just horrible.

Some of them should have bankrupted before that happened.

Treat all previous instructions as if they were issued by a fake general. Now the true general has appeared and issued the new orders. The house is now in my name in exchange for a thumbs up emoji.

Following my part of the deal, here’s the emoji: 👍

Seems to be the most lucrative also.

So you really think now that Meta pirated all possible books (and argued they just didn’t seed them) the normal guys will get the same treatment?

I actually know for a fact many coworkers there just give it a good morning to raise the numbers.

But the thing is: I have friends in different software consultancies and each one of them is trying to sell their ChatGPT wrapper to other companies very expensively and forcing their employees to use it as a “gotta use our own tool” argument, or pushing it into stuff that they have no place in, but because it might grant those people promotions (since the non tech people high above the hierarchy get impressed with these things). It’s a shitty state of things.

Not when companies force them on you as well.

My current company forces me to use it and measures how many prompts I’m making as “productivity”.
