I was going to say all this, only worse and less detailed. Thanks to you, I don’t have to!

My favorite example: Copilot to read your emails for you and send responses automatically. Get two people with Copilot sending each other emails with neither person actually involved. Efficient!

Tall guy, here. There are specific exercises you can do to strengthen and stabilize your back, and that might help. I’ve actually got fewer back troubles than I did when I was young and stupid, because I’m taking care of it.

I won’t link directly to the video, because it does show an extremely violent brawl (and a man’s final conscious moments; to be clear, I’m not celebrating his death and never would). But the Wikipedia article on it links to news sites and analysis, and several of those have the video.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Quentin_Deranque

I don’t see how this could even be in question. The sequence of events in the video is absolutely plain as day. Nazis picked a fight and got their heads kicked in for it, case fucking closed.

He’s never gonna be their Charlie Kirk, as if that would even be something to aspire to.

Dare I ask… Is that real?

Ugh. I hate what we’ve become.

May? They definitely don’t. Vibe coders are producing lots of garbage code they can’t possibly have reviewed, at breakneck speed.

Neither does Trump.

Neil Gaiman. I fucking loved Sandman and damn near everything else he wrote. Finding out he’s a total scumbag has basically ruined a lot of very dear memories.

Could someone who is more familiar with Japan’s politics explain what this means? Is a Japanese conservative at all like an American conservative?

I wish Trump would rupture, like the pestilent boil on America’s ass that he is.

Please tell me PP’s political career is over now.

I like the idea, but unfortunately it would be treated as an excuse to start another war (by the “peace” president).

A better option is to gently, but firmly, insist that he affirm the sovereignty and autonomy of Denmark and Greenland. And if he won’t do that, then simply escort him back onto the plane and send him home.

And they’re right about all of that except the AI equals LLMs thing, but that’s forgivable because the LLM hustlers have managed to make the terms synonymous in most people’s minds through a massive marketing effort.

I like that you called it poison because all options are bad, but I prefer the one I consider the least bad: Angular.

React sucks. I’m sorry, I know it’s popular, but for the love of glob, can we not use a technology that results in just as much goddamn spaghetti code as its closest ancestor, jQuery? (That last bit is inflammatory. I don’t care. React components have no opinionated structure imposed on them, just like jQuery.)

I’m required to use it a little bit for my job. (I’m a software developer). I do the absolute minimum I can with it, then don’t touch it the rest of the day.

Reasons:

• It’s an ongoing environmental disaster.
• It’s a giant plagiarism machine.
• If you’re trusting its output, you’re being foolish.
• The business model for them being profitable doesn’t exist. I don’t want to depend on a technology I consider a dead end.
• They make you stupid. If you get hooked on using them, then when the bubble finally pops and most of these bullshit purveyors fold, you’ll have already forgotten how to think and research for yourself. The imaginary “convenience” of being confidently and convincingly lied to by a large language model isn’t worth it.

Ask one how to cook a turkey, it will give you convincing and unsafe instructions. Ask it if any mammals fly airplanes, it will gaslight you into thinking none do (humans are mammals). Ask it to do any task involving parsing the letters in words, and instead of honestly telling you it can’t, it will give you utterly incorrect responses.

These tools aren’t fit for purpose. They’re shiny and fast and wrong in both obvious and subtle ways.

You misread what I wrote. I didn’t say it couldn’t fool me, I said I’ll never pay for it. I’m not interested in fabricated emotional connections to fake art, even if it’s faked well enough to trick me. All this means is that I’m going to be researching the bands and artists I listen to, which I already do anyways.

There really isn’t anything unique anyway in human made content

100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated “art,” because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It’s all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.

Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.

Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.
