Oh yeah, because drug use makes you a "legit criminal".

Berlin is magical. Yesterday I thought that I entered a regular S3, but to my surprise the S stood for "Sauna"

Love how the term "indie" is used to describe both a single guy making a videogame inbetween their retail overtime shifts, and also a team of former AAA developers with family connections to obscene wealth

People say that Germany is lagging behind in tech, but I disagree. It takes a lot of ingenuity to offer LTE connection with quality matching that of EDGE.

Carl from Internet of Bugs did a video on this (he actually uploaded a version that ONLY covered the SciShow video, but expanded to other YouTubers so people wouldn't think it was a problem unique to them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lKy...

I spoke with a delusional man today. He said that he works on 6 projects at the same time. On an unrelated note, maybe the LLMs are here to separate people who hate programming from the rest.

No one slanders men and boys more than men who want to believe their deep moral deficiencies are universal. A man-hating killjoy couldn’t even come close.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Feature request for @bsky.app : a button that would cross out my post, add "I stand corrected", and a link to another post which proves me wrong.

Product managers writing technical specs is key element in XY-problem software development.

Me, looking at somebody announcing they are going to start an AI company:

Good security advice - and anti-advice www.hacklore.org/letter

BREAKING: Same-sex marriages performed in EU member states that allow them must be recognised across the entire EU. www.dw.com/en/eu-same-s...

He wants them executed, that's the difference.

At this point we're just waiting for somebody to admit the truth about the emperor's new clothes.

i was amenable to the idea that a lot of labours bollocks came from relying on focus groups but were that the case then at this point one would have to ask oneself how they managed to assemble a focus group consisting exclusively of concentration camp guards

Cowardly programmers calling it a 'Garbage collector' rather than an Orphan Destroyer

New awareness campaign

T-800 <gets sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor> T-800 <kills a random woman> T-800 "Mission accomplished"

Now you can talk to me about other games

Guys, is it ok if after a system upgrade you don't get a login screen? #linuxondesktop

Do you realize that all of us live in places worse than Omelas?

One of my biggest gripes with leftist movements is that they don't really know what they strive for, only what they fight against. If you can't define your goals without what you oppose, you are playing on somebody else's field, and will - eventually - pan out or lose.

Yeah, but it frequently wasn't what I thought I told them to do

It's a common thing that people with money/power disregard research that goes against their "ideas". They assume that they have money/power because they are smart, or at least competent at what they do.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

So people actually think that Silksong is very hard? I mean, sure, Steel Soul is, but the regular run?

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

"The move by the Home Office ends a growing diplomatic row between the UK and the Trump administration over fears that the UK could use the order to access the communications of US citizens." - suuuure, as if the US didn't depend on the UK to spy on its own citizens.

remember this for every AI headline you read but also keep this one in mind, too

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

You can live assuming everyone is doing their best. But then you need to expect that some people's "best" is, frankly, terrible.

It's maddening how many UIs are working against the user.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

Software engineering is 20% coding, 20% communication, and 60% trying to understand some idiot's library code.

Surely the American Terminator won't eat my face!

all the news stories you see for "AI" products that seem more like advertisements are exactly that, they're hoping that if they keep astroturfing the idea that "AI" is real and everywhere and unavoidable it will eventually become true

iz*aelscy piraci porwali 4 osoby z Polski: Ewa Jasiewicz Karolina Ptak Omar Fatis Franek Streczewski Są obecnie zakładnikami zbrodniczego reżimu iz*aela, który prowadzi ludobójstwo i holokaust Palestyńczyków. Płynęli oni z LEGALNĄ pomocą humanitarną. Sikorski to zdrajca Polski.

What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

I realize this is a very millennial complaint but I do not like how resistant many devices are nowadays to being turned all the way off. I do not want to put my gaming system into “sleep mode” or “rest mode” or “standby mode” or whatever they’re calling it, I want it to be OFF until I use it again.

(1/2)There's this observation that people get interviewed for software engineering jobs by answering academic tasks like algorithms and data structures just to work on shifting colored boxes by 1 pixel. I believe there's also an "advanced" form of that: you get interviewed on best practices and

I wonder if the US would be a less screwed up country if some fascists did a full-scale invasion onto it. 🤔
