What porn did they take with them?

That doesn’t surprise me. The guy is and always has been a grifter.

If something can be done in 10 minutes, then fine but if it’s something 15 programmers do every single day forever then maybe the automated equivalent is worth that work.

Conversely sometimes it isn’t and part of the role of being a senior / principle developer is knowing when something is worth the effort and when it isn’t.

I have a feeling that OpenAI won’t be long for the chop. They’re burning through capital and unlike Google or Facebook they don’t have any other revenue stream than AI. Nor did they focus and specialise on something, such as coding so even by that metric Anthropic is shitting all over them.

Demanding a Macbook when the place doesn’t use Macbooks is entitlement, not demanding better conditions.

Guy just sounds entitled and precious they wouldn’t stump for a Macbook.

Digital ownership tokens could work if there legal framework imbuing digital property with the same attributes as physical property, i.e. legal ownership and the right to sell, trade, donate, loan or destroy it just as with a real thing. And tokens would have to be maintained by a single platform with legal weight behind it. If there were such a thing and platforms were compelled to support it, then it could work.

But NFTs were not that. They were a scam from the get go. I truly wonder how anybody could be stupid enough to believe a URL pointing at a machine generated picture would ever be worth something let alone appreciate in value. Or buying content in dogshit NFT based games like Legacy or Earth 2. Or that scam game Logan Paul endorsed. Or buying real plots of land such as on “Satoshi” (Lataroa) Island - a malaria riddled jungle that was sold as libertarian asshole utopia before it flopped. But people did. Because people are stupid.

LLMs are only as good as their training and they’re not “intelligent” - they’re spewing out a response statistically relevant to the input context. I’m sure a delusional person could cause an LLM to break by asking it incoherent, nonsensical things it has no strong pathways for so god knows what response it would generate. It may even be that within the billions of texts the LLM ingested for training there were a tiny handful of delusional writings which somehow win on these weak pathways.

No ethnicity has a monopoly on racism. It is global to the human condiction. It may be that in European / US it’s predominantly by white European people. But it’s not hard to find examples of it all around the world, extant and from the past where ethnicity, caste, religion, language is used as an excuse to hate on and subjugate some outside group.

That would be a completely unworkable law since devices may not even have internet connectivity, or a user interface. And even if they did, it would have a chilling effect on software development in California.

No but the people using GrapheneOS by and large are.

Trying to capture the street criminal demographic

Probably hard to support old platforms if the entire toolchain, predominantly owned by Microsoft isn’t supporting them either.

Exactly. Open source is fine when it suits them but not fine when it doesn’t.

Tangy pickle yes. Branston, piccalilli. Or pickled onions, relish, or somesuch.

The pickle is probably the new aspect. Farm workers have obviously been eating cheese, bread, pasties, cold meats etc. since forever.

Nah, just a pint of beer

Try a ploughmans meal - bread, cheese and pickle. Awesome as a lunch.

A lazy supermarket special - a roast chicken in a bag and a baguette roll picked up on the way to the checkout. We’ve all been there and I’m sure it makes a passable meal, but cooking is a skill everyone should endeavour to be proficient in.

Not everywhere can wean itself off, but the “big three” cloud compute companies arent the only shows in town. And of course there is a multitude of free and open source replacements for commercial software with companies willing to provide support.
