Biased by its training data to boot, the opposite of what you’d want in an encyclopedia.

It is directly relevant to the comment I was replying to: > Landlords do whatever the hell they like with zero consequences. Thats not a game I’d like to play with a 40 year horizon of unknowns. Rent control (and tenant protections in

More housing supply is not a solution to landlords deciding to evict tenants or raise the rent for arbitrary reasons. ("The housing market is great for sellers right now and I want to sell my house." "My niece wants to live i

Oh, OK. But you didn’t pay 17K yourself? (I’m also on Kaiser, but never had any major procedure done.)

by archagon 5mo ago
Why did Kaiser’s insurance not pay out here?

by archagon 5mo ago
And that’s why we have rent control.

It’s death for a tech company to be “done,” since that means no more growth. So they will all bloat indefinitely until they implode or get absorbed. It’s simply the fate of all VC-fueled startups.

Lol, no, no one’s becoming a 1000x engineer.

I guess the nice thing about AI is it points to the things that we really need to figure out how to abstract instead of rewriting from scratch all the time.
340.
by archagon 5mo ago
That’s why we abstract the useful code away as libraries, frameworks, etc. AI is not an abstraction.

Quite a leap to attribute corporate greed to H1B. Think again: this is entirely homegrown.

Normal people, yes. The oligarchic class gets more and more bloated as you can plainly see.

It’s a stupid thought-terminating quip entirely centered around a superficial “one number bigger than other” gotcha. We live in a society where the wealthiest have orders of magnitude more wealth than everyone else. The taxes they pay are

If you run your own company — even a tiny one — you don't have to do any of that shit (unless you want to).

Tickets can’t be resold. You can get a refund, but the ticket goes back to the vendor and the seat goes on sale through their site, with a randomized delay.

Too bad archive.today went a bit crazy. We need an anonymous archiving site that will simply not respond to takedown requests (except for CSAM and similar). The internet is too important for that.

Software engineers are gonna wish they’d unionized in the coming years.

If the powerful try to push this through to its logical conclusion, they might see an actual revolution.

They can do whatever they want. Their cultural output is completely and utterly uninteresting to me.

Google ignores robots.txt and botnets residential addresses to crawl anyway? (LLM startups already do this.)

I am waiting for the online reification of this split with bated breath so that I can fuck off to society #2 and never have to interact with society #1 again.

I’m itching for some sort of no-training license: This content must not be used for training or refining generative AI. If it is, rest assured that if and when the regulatory environment around training data shifts in any country where we h

“Why bother making art when the slopbox can just extrude some art for you?” Gee, I wonder why artists have such negative reactions to this technology. I’m actually baffled by your comment to the point where I have to wonder if you’re postin

I think you can have principles. They just need to be chiseled unambiguously into your articles of incorporation.

by archagon 5mo ago
Why? Because all these tech "leaders" are huffing each other's glue.

“And have you been to modern Chinese cities? Prosperity is awesome.” Sounds like you should embrace a Chinese future just like you’ve embraced AI.

I think we’ll need certified human/no-ai communities at some point in the near future.
