Incredibly convenient thing for “polite Christians” (read: enablers) to say while the overwhelmingly powerful structure borne of their freely given money, time, and prejudices ruins the country.

Never fails, Christians (ostensibly “”““real””“” ones lol) always go to this, such a convenient out for rancid, unserious, responsibility denying dingdongs

Draws an audience of gullible morons. With that starting point you can do a number of things grift wise

Unfortunate thing is your mate is on par with the working knowledge of big venture capital swilling CEOs, CTOs, not to mention the other departments trying to get in on that sweet sweet prompt “magic”

As you say, responsible ML is an interpretable scalpel, not a black box hammer. These ocean boiling LLMs purporting to be a tool with universal generalism are such a categorical disaster–for ecology, for the health of the field, for public understanding.

It’s hard to go to work and have these conversations over and over again, to be honest it’s depressing, wearing me down. I suspect I’ll say no one too many times to “putting AI in our product” (by which they mean destroying simple well designed navigation by putting everything behind a chatbot search etc) and be let go.

Sadly it’s still ragingly popular in the tech start up / tech bro / LinkedIn cringe world.

My job is, among other things, ML related…I try to warn them off of this rhetoric all the time but they can’t stop being distracted by the shiny jingling keys.

Having nearly died experiencing that power grid first hand, and their only two state exports of Bucees and Whataburger being picked up in other states, it’s not looking good

I was shoved into Linux by a nearly dead HPC expert who was definitely angry about the advent of electricity.

Wasn’t given any indication of a text editor, I ran across vim for one reason or another and enjoyed his Palpatine-like reaction from seeing me using vim enough to keep using it. And if you’re enjoying something, why not

But yeah, it has some drawbacks lol

Affordable? No, not to many people’s finances

Relatively cheap for a new car? Unfortunately

A tough combination in a country where having a car is essentially mandatory in all but a few cities

Agreed. Unfortunate that many times this is met with some smug shit about “wanting echo chambers”

Not wanting a feed full of modern phrenology and a 20 page analysis about how this weeks 13 year old black kid getting murdered by the cops for looking at them wrong is “totally fine and actually should happen more” does NOT mean I “want echo chambers”

Gosh this giant group of White Nationalists wants to come to my house for my birthday, well wow golly gee every opinion is a rich and valuable thing better let them in

These “wait and see” dingdongs have somehow not learned from decades/centuries of history about how “hearing people out” in situations like this only leads to negative outcomes.

We’ll let in a little Aunt Fash, Liberty Mom, candidate for Alaklabraska school board, as a treat

Different points of view will EnLiGhTeN

I do respect the human involvement, respect them enough in fact to expect them to reflect on the ramifications of their actions/creation.

Some LinkedIn tech bro who’s trying to get enough venture capital to boil the oceans using some overwrought genAI bullshit to create electoral campaign material is also “a human”, but being willing to create that horrid output with its consequences leaves both the product and producer open to critique

You know this headline is fake because Cybertruck fan boys would never ever act like it’s anything but a 100% perfect personal space shuttle + superiority license

Ty for this great pasta moment

“What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I’ve authored multiple FOSS libraries, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret application deployments on Production and I have over 300 confirmed commits. I am…”

Replace fellating with whatever synonym floats your puritanical boat brother. Nothing wrong with fellating dong but I don’t see the win in pleasuring fascists or otherwise awful people be it literally or figuratively

The meaning of those words is absolutely some law, whether natural or governmental, and depends entirely upon the context of the power structure involved.

If you got slapped in your goofy ass face every time you said, well let me just pull up a real, actual quote from you:

"Women do not want to help men but they expect help from them.

That doesn’t make me miserable that’s just accepting the world the way it is and it’s a life lesson men tend to learn the hard way."

If they slapped your extremely goofy, unserious face and called you a generalizing, pathetic, and small person, that wouldn’t be them hating free speech.

Hell, they’d be exercising it! How wonderful!

Now, if the government came to your door and impounded your 4 wheel drive incompetence with relationships, then you might have a victorious day in court.

They’re in agreement with you I believe ^^^
