I played and enjoyed a game based on this principle (Dreadnought). I ran out of bullshit I wanted to buy to keep the game going. Also the whole community was probably a few hundred people at the end. It eventually shut down. Not that there would be much to do solo but fan-run servers would’ve been cool.


“Complex but not arbitrarily complex”? I need more coffee this morning already because I’m burning through my patience for idiotic things at an accelerated rate.
This is an arbitrary sentence, not structured to communicate any information.
See how I had to have that final comma clause so you could understand what the fuck I was even saying?

Time to grow a beard and wear hats and sunglasses.
So we’re replacing open source collaborators with LLMs? And if someone wants to contribute you want the prompt, not the code?
For fucks sake, people. I’ve been slinging code for thirty years. I write much better code than a lot of folks (though some certainly write better). I also am capable of reviewing my own generated code and fixing it so you don’t have to.
I get corporations trying to replace expensive coders with LLMs, but when volunteer work is being replaced by LLMs, what in the actual fuck are we even doing?

Next up: tackling uncertain allegations that the sky is blue.

Just hire some fucking psychics. They could at least put their fingers on the scales when needed.
With AI, you’re liable to see a future non-Onion headline: President Nukes Democristan After AI PM Call Him “An Arsehole”


While we’re at it, we should also be able to mount x.509 digital certificates on the exterior of the building. Visitors could use that to ensure they are at the correct address.

What a bunch of garbage words. It’s sheer techno-fascism through and through. Anyone truly believing and espousing such ideals needs to have their head in a basket.
I swear to fuck, it used to be that I had my agreements and differences with both parties, but now it’s like there is a huge group of people who simply have every single thing wrong.
However, were I writing a dystopian cyberpunk book, this would be some great world building.


I’m not even an AI-bad person and I can’t stand AI videos. I’d rather watch a reaction video with a real person than this original.

I can only imagine their concern. After all, he alarms me when he’s present and fully sober. I imagine it’s a lot of work keeping up with cognitive dissonance. And one can hope he is kept awake at night fearing what will happen to him when the rule of law returns.
I would never wish rape on anyone, but I do hope he has nightmares about large cell mates.


They won’t make sense to you, and they will never not make sense to them.


If this were Trump’s AG, I’d agree. But my read isn’t so negative about the CA AG.


It’s a forty-five year old photo of myself. My kids aren’t present on my social media. In fact I’m not on social media except as an anonymous person. So while I appreciate your message, you’re missing me with it.
That’s partly why the analysis is hilarious to me. Political parties aren’t the same now. Incomes aren’t the same. I was “vandalizing” sand at a campground. I can’t even begin to understand the presumption of Christian background or what that has to do with the sexual orientation of a 7 year old.


Oh that’s a wonderful laugh. Thank you!


Yeah, to me the important thing is the triggering of the memory. I wish the AI could’ve cleaned up the picture without adding a lot of its own artifacts. It is too sanitized. But it’s better than garbage quality picture of a picture. To me.


That’s fair. I don’t disparage that opinion. In a lot of cases I would agree. But not always.


Eh. Every once in a while I do appreciate this.


You can completely tell which is the AI photo, yet both preserve the memory and the essence of the moment. I hate that I have just a shitty quality picture of a picture of that moment. The quality of the AI version was enough that even my mom, who probably took the photo, couldn’t tell the difference.
I get that it isn’t the same but when all you have is a garbage version of a memory, I’m not sure or really matters whether the representation is the original garbage or something that makes you feel less regret over not having something better.


I feel like it wouldn’t be worse that getting into an accident and then… another accident.
Sounds like the PRs are too big or something. IDK. I’ve been doing a lot of code reviews the past 10 years. But those have all been within teams or with partners. Never someone random from the internet. The review sounds easier to me than communicating feedback and getting the submitter to fix their code and submit an acceptable version.
