certainly better than seeing the damned cloudflare Click Here To Human box, although I suspect a number of these deployments still don’t sponsor Xe or the project development :/

fuck that's gross

where'd you find/run across that? can't tell if it's a normal ad or some gig-site thing or what

oh hey, balaji’s lord of the flies cosplay island thing starts tomorrow

guess we should prepare for a flood of impression thinkpieces and naval-gazing wankery

(yes that’s intentional. no I’m not sorry)

that sound you didn't hear was the reference going entirely over your head

this is something I've been mulling over for a while now too. there are lots of little boring ways in which some of the ML stuff definitely does work, but none of them are in the shape of anything the hypemen have been shouting. and afaict none of them will be able to justify all the investment either (and only some will be able to justify the compute, even then)

couple months back I speculated in one of the threads here that I believe one of the reasons there's such a hard push to get the llms and shit into as much as possible now is because it'll be harder to remove after the air starts going on - and thus allow to buy more time/runway/rent-extraction

I like answering ludicrously old whenever this stupid shit comes up

or picking timestamps that make devs wonder whether they had a value handling bug (such as 1/1/1970, the asp.net default 0, etc ec)

I'd never looked into how old the clown is, but

He also lies about his age. He’s older than me & claims a birth date that would make him younger than me.

wait what? what does he claim? is the indicated year on wikipedia accurate? why the hell?

you could just have read downthread for actual details before posting, y'know. that waaaah edit isn't helping

bit of a combo-sneer this morning

CNBC put out an article uncritically repeating yet another round of lieboy pulling the exact same shit. I don't recognize the authors immediately, not sure if they're typical bootlickers or not

openai is going in hard, hiring ex-NSA person that was appointed by the walking talk racist mop (via dan gillmor). for the .... safety role! ah yes, I'm sure we'll all be so very surprised by this attempt consolidation of power.

The response of the grant evaluator is even worse. Just excuses, no admission that they fucked up. Barely even a consideration that this is the sort of thing people have done with flash games, and created in literal weekends at game jams
