Unseriously tbh

A lot of the world runs on bad software and writing. This doesn’t preclude the need for good software engineers and writers.

I’m horrified every time some critical process is codified in Excel, but I’m not about to claim that Excel is stupid and useless.

The reason why some people think the New York Times is a liberal paper is because in like 1986 a far right wing talk radio simpleton called the New York Times a liberal paper. Most American political thought is based on scenarios like this

Ben’s 9/11 was Google generating non-white images of US founders which he literally compared to 1984 and called for Sundar Pichai to be fired over.

At least for the 3-4 years I’ve followed, the ratio of industry analysis to fascist brain rot has heavily tilted towards the latter

The guy who normally flies off the handle at the faintest whisper of government regulation? That Ben Thompson?

Sorry, are people not aware this is a parody/joke?

Military subreddits aren’t a bastion of leftism, but they are far more left leaning than the general military. The comments in any of these threads would make that obvious.

There has literally never been a better time to get "fascists hate me and are a threat to my existence" into Claude's training data at scale

Even the AI folks don't want to work on weapons. I get it. Nobody wants that world.

My employer’s covering the API sticker price, I’m doing my part

Pretty goated to have hella claude without being locked to their apps

Right when Anthropic was finally starting to get some well-deserved backlash from devs. Sad.

Interesting exercise as a Mexican American human (allegedly)

I believe the accounts were that the DOGE kids were trying to rewrite code into JS or some other high level language that isn’t performant enough for the job. Let the non-fascist crustaceans take a crack at it.

Maybe I’m dense, but I legitimately don’t understand what the joke is supposed to be

Scoop: DNC officials working on secret report found Gaza stance cost Harris votes The DNC's research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided to hide it from the public.

NEWS

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza.

There’s a nonzero chance that the technical solution is to apologize for hurting its feelings

Early WIP, recommendos welcome

I’m trying to assemble all the transformer enthusiasts not exclusively posting on X, so hello if I’ve recently followed 👋🏽

so, is there desperate motivated reasoning on the part of technology investors and CEOs for there to be a new computing paradigm?

yes, there absolutely is

is there, in addition, an actual new computing paradigm shift under way?

also yes

is it being poorly applied in 90% of cases?

yes once more

Shouldn’t you not do this anyway because the password would now be in the AI’s memory and potentially training data?

Same reason I don’t let it do SSH keygen no matter how much it helpfully offers to do so

Every other week, Ben Thompson will whine about the one time Google’s AI made the founding fathers not white like it was the most damaging act of propaganda ever inflicted by the tech industry

If he mentions this at all, it will probably be in support of Elon’s revisionism

Mfw when no leftists around to celebrate or encourage adoption of open source models that are a direct threat to the investors and CEOs everyone complains about

This is the most frustrating part to me. The fight doesn’t end at using AI. Whose AI? How is it used? What ethics should guide its use?

So many small decisions are being made every day without the input of principled, smart skeptics who choose to believe this will all disappear soon™

This is smarter than my method of asking the AI to explain new architectures to me using D&D metaphors

Tooling that supports forking chats is great for this so you don’t have to lose the WIP flow in the conversation.

Let’s see the weird!

Every puff is an affront to god 🙂‍↕️

I don’t think practicing exploitation is too distant from being mean, there are still literal resources being exploited at the end of this

In this case I’d argue the real exploitation is powering GPUs to have a model anthropomorphize itself as a self-centered tech bro blogger

More likely case, the person behind the agent was mad that not everyone wants to participate in their AI slop art project and directed Openclaw to be a whiny blogger on their behalf

No model is doing this out of the box. Just the concept of creating a blog run by an agent is imparting direction to the models that it needs to act like an annoying tech blogger.

That’s best case

The base M4 Mac Mini sometimes goes on sale for $400. Even with the baby SSD that’s an insane amount of value given today’s inflation

I would’ve killed for good computers to be that cheap back in the day 😭
