Never heard of it.

It’d be really funny if they made this a regular thing to own the president haha and like they should do it everywhere across the country just to really hammer it in maybe they can buy specific free taco lots where they sell tacos and then put taco themed buildings up where you can stay overnight to support not liking the other guy gosh that would be hilarious

To be fair, a lot of people need serious psychological help and get God instead.

Yeah but A&W tried numbers. A purely vibes based experiment with burger width vs height may prove differently.

Wrong /c/ my guy

That’s right! The skull goes in the square hole

When I consider this issue, the analogy looks more like someone has invented a robot to do contractor work. Of course it’s true that it will put many human contractors out of work.

But no, I don’t think using the robot is malicious - it is, after all, hugely convenient. I would love to have access to those kinds of skills without all the trial, effort, and investment it would take for me to pick them up myself.

I could even rationalize it by thinking, why shouldn’t I? Pandora’s box has been opened and my participation won’t make a difference by this point. I may even be right.

I don’t have a whole lot of use for art in May day to day, so it doesn’t cost me much to decide not to use AI for it. When I think of all the atrocities in the world taking place to enable me to live a comfortable North American life up to this point, I find I can live without this one.

I guess I’m trying to make the point that I don’t want to guilt anyone for using AI for this or anything, but I encourage everyone to truly understand the consequences of the technology we’re using and do some self-reflection. Do you have space in your moral convictions for this? Does this cross any of my values? If you can stomach it, go crazy, but do so without blinders.

There are literally millions of pieces of art everywhere that are free or basically free to view and in many cases use for whatever your heart desires. This is about not getting exactly the piece of art you want to see created and as it turns out there is another alternative open to those without the money to pay artists.

lol oops god bless uwu

Obviously it’s Shroodle!

??? what the fuck

Mixed results…?

I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there’s a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it’s supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there’s no real consistency since it’s built across prompts.

I’m confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

Ultimately, it just feels like you’re offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

Pleased

Women are so cute and I love you too and I love you too [ad infinitum]

I’ll take it.

The system leaves us with a binary choice. Even the third “option” of inaction is essentially leaving it up to fate at best, and at worst is just handing the controls over.

The room you’re in is sealed, filling with water, and you can access a snorkel or a fire hydrant.

In this instance, the moderators specifically refused to be fact checkers and declared that fact checking would be left to the candidates. It was a bit of a missed opportunity that Biden didn’t refute more of Trump’s falsehoods.

I’m afraid all we can say for sure is that it’s not a caterpillar.
