—What kind of gambling do you usually have here?
—Oh, we got both kinds. We got day trading and betting.

Grift tech that claims to do awful shit that ruins everyone's lives, but really just makes Stanford grads sit around pretending to invent something while funneling VC money directly in their bloodstreams.

You'd think these would overflow the evil scale and end up back into being ethical but really they're just doing the same thing as the non-vaporware evil companies with just some extra steps.

Thanks, Google. You know, I used to be pretty good at getting consistent, useful results from your search engine, but the improvements you've made to it since the make me feel like I really might need a fucking prompt engineering course to find things on the internet these days. By which I mean something that'll help you promptly engineer the internet back into a form where search engines work correctly.

What the hell do people think they're adding to the conversation with quips like this? We were talking about how social media personalities should be better role models. Should parents be good role models? Yes, but that's only relevant to the discussion, if you mean to imply it's not a problem that social media entertainers are bad ones, and that parents being good ones just solves any issues.

RATIONAL/LOGICAL
You: 80 (superior tactics)
Her: 15 (emotional, reactive)

EMOTIONAL REGULATION
You: 70 (cold, intermittent bursts of anger)
Her: 10 (in the middle of a panic attack)

VICTIM MENTALITY
You: 0 (the exact opposite of a victim and knows it)
Her: 85 (default mode of victimhood)

CONFLICT HANDLING
You: 100 (extremely direct)
Her: 30 (focusses on past, but quick to refocuss priorities)

HIT POINTS
You: 100 (full health)
Her: 15 (bleeding out from a gunshot wound, about to pass out)

ffs it's in public domain just use a still from the staircase silhouette like everyone else

The name and face of the most subscribed man on YouTube keeps changing every few years but my perpetual dislike of him keeps being validated.

It's open source trust me I wrote that ELF file directly with C-x M-c M-butterfly.

Here ya go boss, a 80% prototype solution.

    
/* TODO: support other element types */
unsigned int * maxsumsubarr(unsigned int arr[], size_t len, size_t * sublen) {
        *sublen = len;
        return arr;
}

  

God knows I like a good DSL, but "complexity over drudgery" just sounds miserable. I also wonder what kind of stuff they're coding that's supposedly trivial enough to be generated by AI.

Fair enough. Sorry for being rude about it.

Yes, that just reiterates my point, doesn't it?

OpenAI considered building everything in-house and raising capital for an expensive plan to build a network of factories known as "foundries" for chip manufacturing.

Oh man, that's a delicious understatement. If the allegations are true, this was a plan that would make the military-industrial complex envious.

I somewhat assumed so based on the usual corporate ghoul definition of "successful". That's why I included currency as something without which artists have managed to make a living since its invention. That particular example may be arguable, but being a successful artist is not and will not be predicated entirely on how fast one can crank out "content". How many movies do the wealthiest directors put out per year?

mouthful.awful.systems

Gonna change my name to Goldman Sachs and style myself as my own founder.

not going to be successful in this new world without using it

The hubris is almost impressive in itself. There's not a single technology in human history that has managed to kill every art form not using it. Digital art didn't do it, photography, pencil, movable type printing, nib pens, oil paints, scraffito, probably not even the invention of currency did it. He thinks autoplag of all things will?

I'm glad to hear someone's invested enough to fork it. I like D (hehe) and it would be a shame for it to just languish in Bright daylight.

…and other examples of why there are no alternatives to US hegemony!
