Ah, yes, medicine. A field without regulations
Okay but there's is a rather large chance there will be no regulations by end of 2025 once RFK has his fun, so they're just ahead of their time
I had no idea what Lloyd's is, I was 100% sure we were talking about the mid tea brand and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they'd have a chatbot
The comment and response are much better in full

Well I’ll be. There are anti-blockchain people in the comments. I post an image showing web3 and NFT ads running right here on the site…and it gets deleted. Oh well. That’s all folks. Until next time.

I already replied to you, and I told you how advertising works and how our readers help us by reporting these ads so we can block them when they sneak through Google by misleadingly flagging themselves to mask what they are. And then I got my tech to block the ad once I found it. And then I deleted your post for being off-topic since our ads have nothing to do with this news article. But perhaps I should have left it: The fact that blockchain hucksters deliberately lie and mislabel their ads to sneak through Google’s filters because legitimate gamers and respectable websites don’t want anything to do with them should tell everyone all they need to know about this tech.
Also it's incredibly amusing the guy's profile picture is the only one that doesn't load on the entire site, I don't even know why that is but thank god I don't have to look at that artistic abortion.
The platform was designed first and foremost to be a virtual town hall of engagement opportunities in which all technologies are seamlessly integrated and abstracted

That's like reading the marketing page for some cloud tool that your manager will surely pester you about on the next daily. "Hey, I think we should use Sporgle. They seamlessly integrate and abstract all technologies in a virtual town hall of engagement opportunities." ^1^
Just have fun with your friends and we’ll take care of the rest.
That's what I've been doing and I didn't need you to help with that so I'll just carry on I think.
^1^ Only that was back in 2020. Now they've rebranded to Sporgle.ai. The marketing page is exactly the same only there's "with the power of AI" added at the end.
Do you sometimes read what you wrote and apply some sort of self-reflection?
changing upper/lower capitalization
That's literally a built-in VSCode command my dude, it does it in milliseconds and doesn't require switching a window or even a conscious thought from you
It's maddening that they did actually take away the headphone jack from all modern phones and there's nothing we can do about it even though it objectively sucks
Ok but that's an economic argument for the business not an advertisement, like why would I care about this as the consumer of your fries
Conservative nostalgia, concretely for fries themselves and abstractly for a fake, idealised version of the past.
This is so weird to me like you can literally just go out and have fries today and they're great? They're so much better now because there's so many different places that literally just sell fries with various sauces so they have to be in an arms-race for the most delicious kind of sauce and the best fries. Plus everyone now offers sweet potato fries if you're bored of the normal ones. There's never been a better time for fries. When I was a kid fries fucking sucked man, and they had only ketchup.
I still don't understand what that was about, like do fries made in tallow taste better? Or at least noticeably different?
In terms of sailing the high seas, an AI data center is worse than a boat too.
Turns out software engineering cannot be easily solved with a ~~small shell script~~ large language model.
The author of the article appears to be a genuine ML engineer, although some of his takes aged like fine milk. He seems to be shilling Google a bit too much for my taste. However, the sneer content is good nonetheless.
First off, the "Devin solves a task on Upwork" demo is 1. cherry picked, 2. not even correctly solved.
Second, and this is the absolutely fantastic golden nugget here, to show off its "bug solving capability" it creates its own nonsensical bugs and then reverses them. It's the ideal corporate worker, able to appear busy by creating useless work for itself out of thin air.
It also takes over 6 hours to perform this task, which would be reasonable for an experienced software engineer, but an experienced software engineer's workflow doesn't include burning a small nuclear explosion worth of energy while coding and then not actually solving the task. We don't drink that much coffee.
The next demo is a bait-and-switch again. In this case I think the author of the article fails to sneer quite as much as it's worthy -- the task the AI solves is writing test cases for finding the Least Common Multiple modulo a number. Come on, that task is fucking trivial, all those tests are oneliners! It's famously much easier to verify modulo arithmetic than it is to actually compute it. And it takes the AI an hour to do it!
It is a bit refreshing though that it didn't turn out DEVIN is just Dinesh, Eesha, Vikram, Ishani, and Niranjan working for $2/h from a slum in India.
Ye I mean I found it after I got halfway through the article and there were no tea jokes, since that seemed kind of odd.
