Holy shit this is actually insane.

This needs to be shot down, like what the heck are we doing here

I haven't had work in months.
I'm a good art director, expert pixel artist, and although I prefer to do art, I can also make entire games from start to finish if necessary, as pictured. Not the greatest coder, but I get the job done (like Chapell Roan I guess).

please share

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate.
In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate.
A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership.
"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

saw someone compare llm critics to people who thought photographs stole a piece of your soul, but like, isn't that more literally true of llms?

there are studies showing that they make you dumber, and your feedback and responses are used to train it

Rule number one of being incredibly lazy at work is that if you find a way to automate your tasks you never say that in a place your boss can see or hear which is why, even by their own terms, people that won't shut up about LLM coding are dumb as rocks. "Yeah, that was all me man" is what you say.

In 98/99, I spent *weeks* badly translating japanese on a japanese language forum just so I could email the composer of metal gear and tell her I loved her music. she sent me a custom burnt CD of her music from a ton of konami games. feels like people only do this now to send death threats

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

'It Was Very Creepy': These People Say They Lost Global Entry Just For Watching ICE Agents Two people claim they were punished for acts of protest, and an internal government memo suggests they may not be the last.

I spoke with two ICE watchers who lost their Global Entry after brushes with federal agents. Now an internal memo shows Customs and Border Protection is evaluating cases where people's Global Entry could be revoked based on "encounters" with its officers.
