Can confirm, the one place that actually cared that I went to school for programming was my first job, because they got to write off part of my salary on their taxes.

Every job after that just looked at skills, vibes (they call it “culture fit”), and references.

Ah so if I just use a table spoon then is still 0! Free oil! (Don’t tell Americans.)

Gross

Ah yes, automation, the field that is well known for systemizing processes into chains of predictable machine I/O — the perfect place to inject the mercurial hallucination service I rent.

Talk to your store. I think they’re selling you bum beans. I’ve never had that happen to me. I’ve had some slightly harder but still totally edible.

I’m with you, Kraiden.

Yeah fuck this defeatism. Anything you can do you do it. Same thing with anything you strongly disagree with.

Even if you’ve failed don’t give the impression that this was something you went along with. Don’t make it seem like this was just the natural zeitgeist and no one fought it.

Hopefully there will be history in the future, and if there is it should record the fact that there were once humans who tried to be a nuisance over what they believed in even when all the money in the world was against them.

At the very least it makes the case that the artist believed strongly enough to prevent people from using their art without permission that they use increasingly radical methods.

It makes it so crystal clear that these shitheads are acting in bad faith when they’re circumventing custom made solutions to keep them from using the art.

As if a sign on your website saying “not for use in AI training” shouldn’t be enough. Like imagine I posted art with the message “not for use in movies” and then it got used in a movie. Open and shut.

Real people are actually wearing those out in the world?

It’s not for damage, it’s the cost to use the art. If they don’t want to pay for it then they’re free to simply not use it.

You soak them overnight then boil them on blast for like 30 minutes? If they’re still not coming to then it’s likely your dry beans are too old.

Age definitely matters. They can go hard, they can even go off. Had the later happen with chickpeas

Any streaming service.

It’s not even about the money specifically, if that’s what it actually cost or if it was going to a good place. It’s the greed of constantly trying to find that line on how hard they can squeeze and at what price point people will keep taking it.

Dry beans life

Guilty of what, public littering? I guess he did leave a pile of garbage on the street.

There are use cases for AI that are actually beneficial, like detecting skin cancer more accurately.

Absolutely. I’d love to see local LLMs completely destroy the platforms, and take the cloud computing behemoths with them while they’re at it.

So while I’m skeptical of the training methods and incentives behind using any LLM (I was and am similarly skeptical of Kubernetes or any kind of “yaml engineering” to put it in perspective), I don’t think the technology itself is necessarily pernicious.

Everyone’s different like you say. I like company too but most of the time it’s distracting/unpleasant.

It was actually so great to be able to say to people during lockdowns “how you’re feeling right now is how I feel every single day of my working life.” Those lockdowns were some of the first times I actually got to enjoy working.

Well, AI-washing. It’s used as the excuse for layoffs (I know several people personally), but the leftovers have to work twice as hard to cover the gaps while training the LLMs to do that job too.
