Don't get mad because you're too lazy to even ask the AI. You are first to be replaced in the workforce. Or maybe it's over your head and you should just stick to reading children's fiction after all. Want some colouring

Only time I've ever really used CROSS LATERAL JOIN in postgres is when working with JSONB documents that I'd like to put into a relational schema, e.g. given the data {"data": [ {"id":1,"value&

Does that include putting your ear to your neighbor's wall and recording into their private dwelling?

I don't really give a shit at this point. In Toronto it's legal to even record into your condo neighbor's unit 24/7 and livestream your recording to the Internet, unbeknownst to the inhabitants. It has been demonstrated

This is one of many factors that precipitated the Soviet collapse. Turn on the news and you know the language being spewed has no relation to reality. A society full of liars where people say the exact opposite of the truth. Now that LLMs c

Almost 10 years ago, I used to have materials delivered from the Builders of the Adytum to my door in Little Portugal. They were bulky letters with a rather striking sender address. Torontonians obliged themselves by opening these letters,

As if I needed another reason to despise this continent. Who actually wants to uphold, work for, and build these systems in our society? This is seriously the kind of nation you want to inhabit?

The asset is too volatile to do that while guaranteeing preservation of value. No matter. Miss me with these 3 month old LLM accounts shilling the latest tech snake oil.

Bitcoin "increased" over multiple five year horizons. That doesn't mean it solves a problem or actually has a concrete use case beyond gambling, which is precisely the point of the article - that you appear to have missed.

The stupidity of people sinks to new lows every day. It's astonishing just how ignorant people are of table stakes, basic technological concepts. You just gave an AI destructive write access to your production environment? Your product

Catholic mass is arguably a form of programming in which people are hypnotized into hymnal verse/response in the hopes that by parroting the language the associated psychological changes will follow. Language is a means of programming

I wonder what kinds of information are worth keeping resident in human carbon wetware, and what kinds of information are better off sitting in a silicon cache somewhere in the cloud. On one extreme LLMs do 100% of your thinking, and your br

This is indeed the right way to approach this topic. Arguably religion (and more broadly, mysticism and shamanism) is the millenia-old art of cultivating positive voices inside one's head. A proto-science of mind, or the engineering pr
