Thank you! I thought it was just me.

It’s like saying “make this bad animal drawing look better, and like someone else made it” without telling them what animal was supposed to be.

Yeah this is about the worst way you could imagine to evaluate an AI model. If you’d given it a real task you’d have been impressed. I was floored by the day I spent with Fable. Got weeks of work done.

You don’t need to be a TLA. Google “4chan tracks down Shia LaBeouf”

Just imagine how much an authentic keyboard with a Clippy icon would fetch, to the right buyer that is.

We should be basing public policy on facts not marketing language.

NGOs are not lobbyists. Some NGOs lobby/employ lobbyists. That’s not the same thing.

I’m working on a DaaS startup (drone as a service) so maybe I’ll locate next to you and your customers can blow drones out of the sky and mine will keep having to replace theirs.

Lots of AWS’s control surfaces are in us-east-1, and (not calling out any specific instances here) sometimes what’s call an “AWS outage” especially regarding us-east-1, is actually a limitation on accessing those control surfaces, ie, makin

The spa approach also achieves what’s probably the key ingredient to making this useful medically — consistent data over time. We know the “what’s this fuzzy bit!?!” hysteria with elective scans can be counterproductive, but if you truly ha

The sci-fi writes itself. Someone hacks the spa’s schedule to find out when you’re getting your scan done, then hacks the machine to push the output to 11 when you’re in, and liquifies your insides. The first Midjourney Medical murder.

It’s also possible to not really hold that strong an opinion on things. Not everything is a pitched battle where doing what your employer wants means you’ve sacrificed your integrity.

Aren’t human coders non-deterministic? There’s no guarantee two people with otherwise identical levels of experience will always write identical code. Any software engineering practice that had enough review and feedback to work with humans

And most of that happened under comparatively good administrations. Imagine what’s been greenlit now.

My contracts always state I own tools created or byproducts of the work that don't end up in the work.

Potential monkey wrench: you’re assuming the AI agents we have access to are the same ones crawling and indexing the web for those models. They not only incorporate the text they find while crawling, into their models, but they have access

By not excavating the whole city they leave work for future archaeologists. :)

The image at the top of the article is awesome. The whiteboard in the background holds a passive-aggressive defense of ChatGPT’s coerced confession.

I fear for falling into the trap some political parties get into — anything the other guy came up with is bad, by definition. If JetBrains Mono suits your work you should use it, not avoid it specifically because AI often uses it.

As someone who’s writing gets flagged as AI a lot, I appreciate the opening disclaimer section. And I especially appreciate the idea that these patterns aren’t the problem. Don’t just fix the patterns. The problem is they point to hastily o

I frequently use “belt-and-suspenders” — probably not in wri… crap I just used an em dash.

Astute observation. Gopher is in fact a portal that lets you teleport from one off-grid cabin to another, all around the world. And some people like that.

That would be irc. Also, the Unix “talk” command is a nice 1-to-1 chat protocol along the lines of finger, ie $ talk snoopy@dog.house

I had an algorithms class in undergrad where we designed algorithms for computers with specific memory and processor configurations that didn’t exist, and specifically, would never be built. But we studied algorithms for them anyway.

Not taking any stances here, but the difference is a library book can only be used by one person at a time, and it eventually wears out and has to be replaced. Neither of those are true for digital works.

Spotify is always my example. Spotify (and Apple Music I assume) is far more convenient, for a modest price, than pirating music. It’s a shame the TV and movie people can’t seem to learn this. Most music is available on Spotify and Apple an
