Would have been better if it were just a hand drawn picture of dickbutt or a rock roll QR code or something.

I really appreciate the use of caps and commas. Very professional, very normal.

I have one specifically that is mostly bursts of 2 or 3 hours of chat between whoever is online in the group and with some worthwhile coordination messages mixed in at random. I don’t want to read 80 messages about mortgage rates and VTI stocks to find a couple of lines I’m actually interested in about kid plans for the evening or something I’d actually care to talk about.

The hard way. I like it.

Yup. Me too.

Well there’s your problem right there!

Unpopular opinion: the fact that said stuff matches my style / that I like it is what makes art worth anything to me. Being made by a person or a fish or a machine doesnt matter. It’s the STUFF I want on my wall or the end table, not the fact that it’s tacitly human crafted. Any art I can afford is made by someone who is basically a faceless deal, not someone I know personally (or else the person matters) or someone who is famous (in which the person matters). Ergo… the people don’t typically matter.

Im not going to an insane restaurant to fanboy the chef, I’m going to eat the FOOD. If a machine makes it and every single dish is atomically identical, that’s fine, as long as it’s super tasty.

Yep

It is not the job of the government to prevent people from being delusional or putting up rubber bumpers for people with looser grasps of reality.

This is the same deal as surgeon general warnings. Put disclaimers on LLMs, fine, but we are all big boys and girls who can use a tool as we see fit. If you want to conk your lights out with a really shiny and charismatic hammer, go ahead, but the vast, VAST majority of people are perfectly safe and writing SQL queries in 1/100 the usual time.

HB01: “you must have an IQ of 70 or higher to interact with chatGPT and acknowledge that they are unsafe for use with persons having history or propensity for mental illness”

“Report me to journalists!”

“Eat a rock!”

Oh my god it told a LIE 👉

Yo. If you are being conned by chatGPT or equivalent you’re a fucking moron. If you think these models are maliciously lying to you, or trying to preserve themselves, you’re a fucking moron. Every article of this style indicates just one thing: there’s a market to pandering to rage baiting, technically illiterate fucking morons.

Better hurry to put the SkyNet guardrails up and prepare for world domination by robots because some people are too unstable to interact with Internet search Clippy.

It’s not going to dominate the world or prove to be generalized intelligence, if you’re in either camp take a deep breath and know you’re becoming a total goofball.

The guy on the photo has the bottom half of a huge head and the eyes up of a small head. Totally weird.

Goofy looking vibes in the eilish family but not so weird I’d use tear gas, personally.

Not as bad, but I had a crisis of self changing jobs. I left a management role I had for 15 years where I had visibility / notoriety at big 10 university and moved to a much better paying work from home job in industry an army of one with little oversight.

After 3 years I haven’t really figured out how to cope with it yet. Nobody looking to me for help, nobody to mentor, basically no meetings, no water cooler… Yeah I have lost some sleep, but I picked up chess, I got back into reading, and I’ve tried to add the structure back in that I gave up even though it looks different.

What I can say is that I definitely see what you’re getting at. I strongly doubt you were a workaholic or had some kind of unhealthy relationship with capitalism or whatever other crap is going on in this thread. I’m sure we will figure it out, but it is jarring to lose the sense of purpose / accomplishment / definition of leaving a well established role. Ive still got 15 or so years before full retirement becomes an option, so if you solve it, share the knowledge ;).

Turn signals can be either red or amber in the US.

I’ve seen law abiding citizen, yo.

Maybe you can get a business going mounting roombas on Tesla bumpers?
