   To be fair I am also biased: I am responsible for creating an interface that uses Stable Diffusion https://capsizegames.itch.io/ai-runner , but the program is a result of my bias not the root cause.

   bill gates is a chode. i only quote him to say: high profile people are willing to make happy predictions about text generators but not art generators. biased and stupid.

   Bill Gates says that ChatGPT will change the world, make Jobs more efficient. Weird that people don't feel the same about Stable Diffusion even though it will do the exact same thing

   SD works best when you combine it with a paint program. for example, I generated superman but part of his cape was missing. I brought the image into GIMP and manually painted his cape on (sloppy, with pure red, no attempt at making it nice)

    have looked into this for myself and i'm definitely exempt from being paid overtime. i now take these unreasonable demands as a sign that the employer wants me to quit.

    I take it you've never had a salary pay job in America. One of my recent jobs had me working 100 hours per week for $130k (base salary). Every job I've ever had expected overtime without extra pay. One job had me working through e

    Yes, it's easy to organize mobs on the internet and mobilize them for ones own personal ideologies, economic positions and gain.

    I found the article to be irrelevant and only clicked the link because I thought I was going to find a technical reason as to why the .io domain would be considered harmful. Instead I found an author's opinion as to why the .io domain

    Just wait until the author finds out about child labor used to mine rare earth metals.

    It's a goofy blog post and title in which the author is attempting to woke mob io TLD so I pointed it out.

    Click bait title. They are considered harmful by the author primarily due to the authors own moral code and opinions.

    what about open source github repos that i maintain etc.? i think that's more valuable that a code challenge

    i think it should be like this: can code / do whatever is being hired for + understads what we're building? hire. doesn't do a good job? fire. its actually based on personality + a convoluted code challenge that has no bearin

    the thing that gets frustrating as i age are interviews and code challenges. i'd really prefer a certification that proves i can do xyz which i take once (per year? in my life?). then just decide if you like me based on personality and

    > the rational actor i like the points in this thread. perhaps aging is just a natural bad actor filter. options narrow as we wise up.

    > not going hire an older employee that knows their worth over a recent graduate that isn't familiar with the salary they should earn that's the real problem, self and situational-awareness.

    I'm better now than I ever have been. I was trash in my Jr years. Being discriminated against due to age would be a grievous error on the part of any potential employer.
