"art portrait" seems grammatically wrong...?

I love how people keep using ML to depress birth rates.

I think we may have answered the question as to where all the aliens are...they too invented LLMs and soon went extinct due to no one ever leaving their rooms to reproduce for real.

XD

Don't worry, Celery has always been and will always be a flaming pile of garbage

Just wait till a start convinces someone to give them money for a system that allows anyone, anywhere to queue up infinite loops XD

Except all the ones it didn't work for who didn't crow about it working?

Your logic is kinda faulty...

I.e. a quack

Seems even a quack can get some things right XD

Right....and all the people not working would get paid how exactly?

Or does this system just assume they're all homeless and jobless?

If it's the latter then I'm sure it could work...not sure it would be a huge improvement tho...

Ah yes, I'm sure you have a solution from one of the most difficult problems ever?

It's easy to condemn the system but without a solution you're just barking in the wind...

Just to be clear, I also think there are major issues with "the system", but I also don't think this is an easy problem to solve or everyone would be living in magical happy land already...

I'll let you know once I finally play all the games I own XD

This seems pretty cherry picked to me.

It's not completely wrong but it's not super honest either.

Ooof

Right...we make stuff cheaper than ever before...but because all these people don't have jobs they can't afford it anyway...

Agreed. It feels like a lot of the people burning hard on AI seem to think that when the jobs are gone some benevolent benefactors (who exactly?) will decide to institute UBI for all because....why exactly?

It seems much more likely to me that all that will happen is there will be a lot more poor people...

You're not alone.

I can't be bothered to add an extra layer of bullshit into the already bullshit infested realm that is the internet.

I'm confused.

Surely ChatGPT, etc have been trained on content from these very same SEO optimisation hellholes you're talking about if it was trained by scraping the web?

Is there some trick that allows it to determine whether the content it's being trained on is SEO garbage?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems like all you're getting is an amalgam of SEO content feed to you by a bot...

Tested fingerprint.com with Vivaldi Mobile and it didn't correlate me across a norm tab and an Incognito one, so it's not fool foolproof...

Nope, but VsCode addicts are usually too cheap to try a paid-for tool like PyCharm

You mean perfect American English right?

Voice control goofs with my South African accent all the time...

Right, because the person that broke into your car is not going to just going to rip it open with a crowbar?

You really think screens and integrated electronics are easier to maintain and cheaper to replace than plastic buttons and copper wire?

As a South African in Canada the nut restriction in schools here is incredibly annoying.

Cranking that hype level to the next stage eh?

How perfect is almost perfect? How do you correct errors?

Given that it seems to be companies like Google that have created this problem....maybe we don't want a new Google...

I had one of those weird TNT2 M64 cards that you could fool into thinking it was a proper TNT2.

Unfortunately for mine the foolery didn't work perfectly and I recall the card was a bit unstable when running that way, or maybe it didn't achieve the optimal performance possible for one of those fiddled M64s.

Not really a huge surprise, IIRC it was a super cheap card...

They dropped the passing grade in South African high schools a decade or so back (maybe a bit more or less, longer after I exited the system in 2001).

Wouldn't you know it, graduating more students with terrible grades didn't magically lead to more capable working or studying adults.

It almost like pushing people through who are struggling to cope doesn't help them...

> I'm a terrible programmer

Oh? Did you win some award? I'm curious as to how you're determining this?

Well...when you're spending that much money of course you're not going to feel remorse XD

I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll before someone trotted out the Apple horse.

Farther than I thought, it turns out.

You know, for all the stuff about Apple silicon being a game changer it doesn't really seem like the game has changed that much...

Pretty sure Isaac Asimov wrote a short story that very much hit this note decades ago, although it was to do with math.
