the thinking model
Ugh… can we all just stop for a moment to acknowledge how obnoxious this branding is? They’ve already corrupted the term “AI” to the point of being completely meaningless, are they going to remove all meaning from the word “thinking” now too?
This has been my experience as well, only the company I work for has mandated that we must use AI tools everyday (regardless of whether we want/need them) and is actively tracking our usage to make sure we comply.
My productivity has plummeted. The tool we use (Cursor) requires so much hand-holding that it’s like having a student dev with me at all times… only a real student would actually absorb information and learn over time, unlike this glorified Markov Chain. If I had a human junior dev, they could be a productive and semi-competent coder in 6 months. But 6 months from now, the LLM is still going to be making all of the same mistakes it is now.
It’s gotten to the point where I ask the LLM to solve a problem for me just so that I can hit the required usage metrics, but completely ignore its output. And it makes me die a little bit inside every time I consider how much water/energy I’m wasting for literally zero benefit.
80 years ago, the ‘kit’ cost $6500, delivered.
That’s about 120k in today’s money.
I’ve been a die-hard “blue no matter who” my entire life, but man… I’m tired, boss.
If Gaven “have we tried killing all the homeless?” Newsom gets the nomination, I probably just won’t vote at all. Fuck.
Yuck
Needs more hurricanes and unskippable ads.
That’s like saying that advertising has become a “pillar” of society.
Like… yeah, I guess… but that doesn’t change the fact that anyone with a functioning brain fucking hates it.
Sadly a lot of us are stuck with GitHub. Enterprise loves it because it has “Metrics”, and most companies aren’t about to jump ship over something like AI — especially when so many of them are already doubling down on AI in other areas.
What the actual fuck
Oh, right… Well, probably still worth it. This decade is balls anyways.
Wales is still president of the company, and presumably has a continuing financial stake in it.
1.8 gigawatts
Damn… think of what you could do with that much energy! That’s enough to go back in time, shoot Sam Altam before he founds OpenAI, and make it back home with 600 megawatts to spare!
WTF, this dude should be in jail, not Congress…
You can sue for [illegal* thing] or [thing that caused harm to you].
So the devs who’ve had their games forcefully delisted should sue as a class action. Shouldn’t be hard at all to prove they’ve been financially harmed.
The part that boggles me is how this takes so much space in the broad conversation when competitive sports are truly an inconsequential part of existence.
It takes so much space because the amount of energy required to ask the question “should trans women compete in women’s sports” requires exponentially less energy than the amount of energy required to defend a particular answer to that same question.
Conservatives know this, so they’ve made a point of incessantly asking it and others questions like it because that steals focus from more important issues, riles up their own base, and causes liberals to fight with each other.
and you have no other topic to talk about than sport?
I always see someone with this exact same take every time any politician says anything and it’s so dumb, lol
The guy was asked a question about a political topic and he answered it. That doesn’t mean that particular issue is all he thinks about, or that he thinks about it to the exclusion of other topics. If I asked you your stance on trans athletes I’m sure you’d have an opinion too, but I would never assume that’s the only issue you ever talk about.
Look, I think Pete is the same kind of neoliberal Uncle Tom as the rest of the Democratic establishment, but this was just one question he answered in an interview with many questions, and he’s been pretty vocal about Trump and other pressing political issues for like 3 straight election cycles.
Pete! My guy! You are the status quo!
