Sounds fake as hell tbh

I wrote my own. It’s one of the easiest possible services to write.

Between this and expedition 33, France is coming up with some Ws these days.

Hey, I know this one. I’ve had it since I was a small child but didn’t quite know the name.

How are they preventing public release then?

Look it’s either skynet or it fucking isn’t.

They lock essential things (e.g. food, water, shelter, medical services, etc.) behind a paywall because they know it is not true that people do not always—or even usually—want money.

But people do need essentials to live, and if they’re the only ones who can give you money to get those, then they can order you to do what they want instead.

They did open the strait though, just to anyone who will pay a $2 million bribe in not USD.

It seems clear to me that cloud LLMs have the same scaling problems and demand concerns that cloud gaming did.

Oh well, maybe regular people will have to still run software locally after all. 🤷

I thought part of the point was to have a website work more as an application: one update to a piece of information results in that information being near instantly updated across the site.

Then I looked into the angular stuff the UI people were working on and yeah… something like 10 (costly) requests for the same exact fucking JSON. They were talking about doing caching on the frontend to optimize it. What are we even doing?!

Modern UI development is such fucking shit. I have no idea why they went with all of these heavyweight shit frameworks.

What I took issue with is your argument that collusion between companies to lower wages was somehow unlikely when it’s already happened before. That doesn’t prove that it’s happening now, but it does disprove your argument that they wouldn’t collude or it’s extremely unlikely.

something that can only be done in collusion with other companies and so is rather far-fetched.

Some of the companies that are doing this (i.e., major tech companies) have colluded in the past — specifically, to drive down wages — so that part isn’t exactly a conspiratorial fantasy.

There’s a kind of law here that should be named IMO when dealing with LLMs:

In a long enough interaction with an LLM the probability that it generates a very incorrect, borderline insane response approaches 100%.

Nobody deserves it more

People say I’m weird. Okay, I was raised by a very weird family in very weird circumstances, doing my best to be sane and normal in a weird situation.

I feel for you. At least some members of my family are either psychopaths, have narcissistic personality disorder, or both. I think the comorbidity there is pretty common.

The lifelong damage caused by being raised around sociopaths is real — as is the continuing damage from living in a country run by them.

Time to dump GitHub for codeberg.

Just wear a mask. I bought 400 of them a while ago on Amazon for $40. One way masking sucks, but is highly effective.

If Trump’s dumb ass hadn’t understocked the PPE last time, we could’ve just all worn masks and then generally went about our business otherwise.

Including being good to hypothetical, unlikely trillions that may live someday if we colonize Mars.

Having empathy in this society run by psychopaths is depressing and anxiety-inducing indeed.

It bleeds into everything in this whole place. You know when you’re using something — a government system, a website, a support line, an application — and it feels like nobody thought about how shitty the experience would be for you? That’s what it feels like to live in a society that has no empathy. The people that design these systems do not give a shit about how you’ll feel being subjected to them, because they have no empathy and have never considered nor cared what your experience would be like.

Not gonna happen. Not with the effective altruist cult running things.
