Fair, but then again FOSS is born from individual hackers who want to learn how to build X, or who feel like the ecosystem doesn't provide the X they would like to have. It fosters a culture where everyone can hack something together,

Literally all of that is because capitalism incentivizes short-term profit over meaningful, society-benefiting work. FOSS doesn't have these problems.

Ah I thought this was about computer games. For a second I thought that it was an engine to build arbitrary cross-platform card games with solid online multiplayer. But this seems rather specific, and cross-platform only means "Android

We need to profile your every thought and emotion. Don't worry though, it's for medical or safety reasons only. Same for your internet history... You know, terrorism and all. Can't have that.

So it's like Steam but for games that I found lackluster 15 years ago and that haven't changed since (except for Wesnoth, which is also on Steam)

But that would require learning more than one programming language, and that would make hiring juniors way too expensive.

Everyone calls them sound cards and they are marketed as sound cards therefore they are sound cards. An USB audio interface is literally just an external sound card. Regardless, I did a quick google search to confirm that my usage of the te

But this is an elevator pitch. I didn't come here to be marketed to, yet I am being marketed to. So if you're going to market something to me at least do it right. My attention span is low because I don't really give a shit a

You can ask it whatever you want but unless you do some pen and paper calculations to prove that whatever GPT says isn't bullshit, you're just writing fanfiction.

If it came with a full disclosure of its internal parts and test results, why not? Why exactly do we allow ourselves to be convinced instead of informed?

I think that most of the developers who advocate for AI coding have never worked all by themselves on projects with over 500/1000 files. Because if they had they would not advocate for AI coding.

I've been saying this ever since GPT 3 came out and I started toying with it. It's unfortunate that for all the people who work in AI most of them barely even know what Prolog is.

They have been doing this since day 1. I was a subscriber in the first few months (then occasionally every few months to check out the progress) and so many people complained that OpenAI fiddled with the models daily without saying anything

If it weren't for biases and mental shortcuts we would still be busy exploring the search space of how to knap rocks together. And besides, ternary logic is pretty boring. It's just one more option compared to binary logic. Also i
