I already quit one job for that reason and refused to take a drug test for another job for the same reason (lol they decided they needed me enough to waive the drug test).

Everything I like has more than 5 ingredients if you count seasonings. Might as well heat up soup.

1. Can of soup

Moving to 32 hrs on paper and really expecting 60, instead of 40 on paper and really expecting 60.That’s a bold move, Cotton.

Beating up pedophiles sounds great, so does beating up rapists and murderers, but remember you can be called a pedophile for leaning in close to a kid in a photo. “B-but in this case it really WAS a bad guy” doesn’t justify mob violence. I don’t want my safety to depend on the right people being in a particular mob on a Thursday.

Aircraft are sort of expensive and they can cause large scale damage to the public

Sounds like what somebody would say to carefully lay the groundwork for abolishing online anonymity. Computers can cause large scale damage to the public, and they’re cheap!

Maybe they’re rich people saying fuck y’all, but TBH we’ve been able to keep website registration info private for years, and privacy is such a big thing now, sure why not.

Found my new band name!

Everyone except me of course.

Just click your heels together three times, Dorothy. You’ll find all the fascism you need right in your own backyard!

Wow. How much money do I need before drinking Pepsi means I’m displaying my power instead of meaning I like Pepsi? Just wondering how far that mental one-track goes.

It’s not my LLM, but like most software developers I admit I “stole” the same training data to learn programming.

And yet people can somehow be fascinated by how technology itself works without caring about the latest flap over copyright infringement or more proof that Elon Musk is loony. There are enough news forums for that material.

Just checking back after 3 months… it’s nice to see improvement. There’s still some sociopolitical crap, and one item about reddit’s stock tanking - how TF is that even tech-adjacent? But overall lots more threads about actual technology than last time I took a hard look. Nice!

TBH I’ll take shorts and an aloha shirt anytime.

I googled it for you. Yes, they advertise “From Studio Ghibli, Pixar, and Disney Classics to The Simpsons, South Park, and more.” Not sure why everybody is focusing on Studio Ghibli.

To me “next generation” and propellers just don’t mix, but I know nothing. Just want my jetpack.

Picard’s tea came in different mugs too. We don’t know if he programmed it that way or if AI picked a mug each time. The point is that if it can make tea and a mug in one go, it should have no problem with clean clothes, a frisbee and a hot breakfast.

I see it as enabling people to make images in a style they admire and would like to draw but don’t personally have the skill. To me the concept of copyright is the only difference between AI art generators and say, springy leg braces that let you slam dunk like Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I understand there are business ramifications some people might object to, but I don’t get the moralistic part of the outrage. Maybe somebody can help me understand by explaining it rationally without screaming or calling me names, but spitting rage at me is pointless.

edit: from the abundance of downvotes and lack of explanation I take it people know they’re supposed to be outraged but don’t know why. The telltale mark of meme culture, wear it proudly!

This schedule is ludicrous even if they cut all the Agile meetings in half and skip Sprint Grooming altogether.

One cubic meter of neutronium, please.
