@arstechnica@mastodon.social Employees at a company with a clearly fascist business model, founded by a known fascist, are concerned about a "descent" into fascism? Oh you sweet summer children.

@arstechnica The fact that there wasn't sign off already is insane to me. You reap what you sow

@Daojoan@mastodon.social I say let the man try as many experimental and untested medical treatments as he wants. The more the better even.

@jwz@mastodon.social My work is "gently prodding" us to use LLMs for development because of some illusion of productivity and a fear of being left behind. I've done some experimenting with it, but I feel so disconnected from the "work" that it produces. "AI" removes humanity out of everything it touches. It's no wonder the oligarchs and fascists are flocking to it.

@fzer0 It's also an anagram of The Reptile, which lends credence to the existence of lizard people

@nileane "In short, it's a tool for parents" --that the children will find a way to circumvent like they always do.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social I wonder how long it'll be before ICE is rounding up Democratic politicians? Appeasement doesn't work.

@randahl Pure performative propaganda bullshit as usual.

@nickofnz@mastodon.nz Oligarchs love recessions. It allows them the opportunity to steal wealth from the rest of us

@jwz@mastodon.social @peter_slwk@mastodon.social There's also the flip side where developers, sometimes even very senior devs, give generated code a free pass because the expectation is that the code is garbage. It's a truly bizarre thing to witness

@jwz@mastodon.social @peter_slwk@mastodon.social That's totally what's happening and each iteration is getting better. You can also apply rules to the agent to further improve the output. I'm sure the rules are being mined for their usefulness also. No one talks seriously about the need to maintain the overly verbose code that is produced. It takes much longer for a human to review. Sure you can use AI for reviews, but at that point we've completely lost control of the code

@jwz@mastodon.social @peter_slwk@mastodon.social I produced a 100% vibe coded tool as an experiment and while it worked it was insanely complex. I also had to deal with the LLM faking portions of the output data. I had to hold its hand and check the work every step of the way. When I finally submitted it for review no one wanted to look at it. And those that did complained about the terrible code quality.

@aburtch@shakedown.social Politicians always lie, and always will, but the lies of right wing politicians the world over have become so egregious that it would be comical if they weren't so dangerous. The best time to have shut this shit down was 10 years ago or more. Now there's a whole cabal of traditional and social media companies that at best, sanewash or dismiss the lies, and at worst are entirely complicent.

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social I'm curious how this applies in places where it's illegal to record a person without their consent? Not that I'd expect anyone at google to face any real consequences

@shollyethan@fosstodon.org Grimmory is great! Started using Booklore before it stopped development, and I'm happy that some of the devs decided to pick it back up as Grimmory

@Gte@mastodon.social That's sure a fancy way to say capitalism

@jeffowski@mastodon.world conmansplaining?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Yes, but have you stopped to think about how the shareholders might feel about helping the poor?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social It's easier to blow up a bridge than it is to rebuild it.

@petergleick Unfortunately this is not new news.

@CatsOfYore Yes, but how is babby formed?

@gruber@mastodon.social The truth is out there plain as day. It's abhorrent that it's even a point of discussion. Absolutely vile and disgusting

@Garwboy Do these people not realise how stupid they sound? If writing is so important to you, why the hell would you outsource it to a plagiarism generator?

@petergleick Amen, brother.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange I love it when cats act like weird little hobgoblins!

@augieray trump is the same deplorable shit-stain he's always been, but now he holds the most powerful political seat in the world, given unchecked power by his corrupt and complicit party. He's hasn't changed, but he's now something more dangerous.
