snackerblueson The fall of the theorem economy

Plenty of math showed zero real-world value for centuries until it suddenly did.

snackerblueson AI's Affordability Crisis

How about the reason he just explained? Do you disagree that relying on AI to make changes without knowing what it's doing makes you a worse programmer? How would it not?

If you don't know what a good or a bad approach to any problem is because you've never actually had to solve it, you can't even know what being a proficient programmer means, so how could you hope to be one?

snackerblueson Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5

I'm glad that Android developers will continue to have a job for the foreseeable future and that RSI is forestalled. Those are more important to me than you getting a cheap slopapp

If they ever used Fable, it's sitting in Anthropic's servers for a month

They literally state here that they can't do that, since the risk is jailbreaking which seems to be an intrinsic part of LLMs.

Not if the government bans them.

That's terrifying.

snackerblueson The future of everything is lies, I guess: Where do we go from here?

That subreddit is about men crying and promoting feminism and being more feminine

Surprised you can even read this thread without a 'acking loicence

snackerblueson The future of everything is lies, I guess: Where do we go from here?

I hate toxic liberalism ao much. No it's not that all libs are naive idiots, not at all. Just the toxic ones

snackerblueson The future of everything is lies, I guess: Where do we go from here?

I hate toxic liberalism, toxic feminism, toxic gay rights, toxic DEI, toxic emancipation, toxic gun control, toxic abortions, etc.

No it's not that I'm against any those things just the toxic applications of them.

snackerblueson Sam Altman may control our future – can he be trusted?

Blacks do more mass shootings proportionally, numbnuts.

snackerblueson Sam Altman may control our future – can he be trusted?

I don't care. Black people behaving the way they do TODAY makes the world a worse place to live. And since it's not 2020 any more I don't have to censor myself for insane people who can't handle this fact.

> unprecedented

Oh it's pretty precedented by American blacks, since they commit school shootings at a higher frequency.

Do you understand what the term "per capita" means? We should force people to take a test on this term before you're allowed to comment on racial issues.

I don't care. It's not 2020 anymore

snackerblueson EFF is leaving X

> So how do you solve that? Because it seems that you can't.

By design. Activists and left-wingers in general enjoy losing and being underdogs and infighting constantly

snackerblueson Copilot edited an ad into my PR

It tells you what average quality to expect, and to look out for beginner-level mistakes and straight up lying accompanied with fine bits of code. Not sure why you wouldn't want that context.

Ok, Claude.

snackerblueson So where are all the AI apps?

> you know from experience it's wrong just by looking at it

You do, because you have actual experience programming. Fortnite McBroccolihair III doesn't, so how is he supposed to know what's wrong?

snackerblueson So where are all the AI apps?

https://community.safebots.ai/t/safebox-execution-and-commun...

This all reads, to put it politely, like it's being written by someone who is not all there and being convinced by letting AI write everything that they have a coherent idea. Or just trying to put a bunch of buzzwords together to get people to buy something. Do you have any code or actual demos of "your" "work" to share? Your homepage's "See It in Action" section is just more AI slop articles in video form.

And you've got multiple slopsites filled with what I assume is SEO spam? Which I'm now participating in by linking. Great.

So you didn't write it

snackerblueson Elon Musk pushes out more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters

My point is that it holds no meaning, seeing an naked picture of someone now no longer implies that they allowed themselves to be photographed naked. So who cares? Sharing it is creepy sure, like sending an email or a crayon drawing about having sex with someone is creepy if they're not interested. But the existence of the thing matters as much as someone's imagination does now, when before that the existence of a nude was an issue in and of itself.

Same thing will be used to argue against photographic evidence for crimes ofc.
