I get why people wouldn't want (steam) trains in their proverbial back yard just as much as they wouldn't want datacenters. Trains may be a net benefit for a region's mobility and economy, but that doesn't undo the local

Nobody's denying that, what is your point? Or are you assuming they're banning LLM code wholesale based on just the headline?

by Cthulhu_ 2mo ago
Exactly this. There's plenty of boring software out there where writing the actual code is a chore. That's where AI works pretty well, as long as the people at the controls understand and can explain the problem and non-functional

I love how your analogy actually works with the real world. You can't fly a jet plane until you've got all the various licenses and logged flying hours in prop planes first.

I'm amazed that this pattern has been so ubiquitous for uh. Has it been years already? But they haven't tweaked the services yet to avoid these patterns.

How is AI "more powerful than nuclear weapons" etc when they're two completely different things? Please explain to me how AI can glass the planet via mutually assured destruction.

This is (weirdly) in line with behaviour I've observed in iOS's date picker; if you set a block of dates as not available, and the selected date inside of that unavailable block, it will automatically select the first available da

If we don't do our best to awaken Dead Cthulhu, when He invariably awakens He will know that we didn't do our best and we'll be eaten last by the Great Old Ones upon Their return!

If said billionaire enrichment company was really upset about it, they would be able to detect forbidden words like piracy even when replaced. It's not that difficult, it's a problem that was solved decades ago.

I think Cyberpunk has a good basis but as you say, it's heavy weight; they did increase or tweak crowd density in an update I think, but also it's a PC game so it can be modded and improved as hardware gets better. The challenge -

I'm transcribing more than 42 hours of meetings and designs into software code; work is work. It's tedious and repetitive maybe but there's always people really into that kind of thing.

Counterpoint, some doctors will zoom in on the most likely problem and misdiagnose. This is in part due to pressure on the health care system (where I live anyway); you can only get a GP appointment for 10 minute blocks, which really isn&#x
