I’ll bet Ada Lovelace had some somewhere.

Or the original plot of The Matrix, before the studio execs decided audiences were too stupid.
“Boy, I sure wish some megacorporation would dump a massive codebase on me to maintain without any financial assistance!”
This reads like an ad written by an LLM, wtf is it doing here?
Was not prepared for the Diablo II reference lmao
As long as I don’t have to maintain it.
(Who tf downvoted this? The “legacy code” lobby?)
FYI, “anthropomorphizing” doesn’t strictly mean “viewing as human”. I never meant to imply that people see a spoon as a human being.
Anthropomorphization is the act of associating human qualities with non-human entities.
My point is that humans are remarkably good at doing this, even as far as, e.g., ascribing “unhappiness” to a spoon simply for being unused.
This kind of behavior is why we must be extremely wary of the Turing test and other measures of machine “intelligence” - humans may see intelligence even where none exists simply because it’s our nature.
Yep, this is the major flaw that’s becoming clear about the Turing test, and why people are so hyped over LLMs: computers don’t have to be good at imitating people, because people are so good at anthropomorphizing computers (along with everything else).
The “solution” is to curate things, invest massive human resources in it
Hilariously, Google actually used to do this: they had a database called the “knowledge graph” that slowly accumulated verified information and relationships between commonly-queried entities, producing an excellent corpus of reliable, easy-to-find information about a large number of common topics.
Then they decided having people curate things was too expensive and gave up on it.
Hey, in my defense, the explanation there was only added in 2022, and I’d already given up looking by then!
Thank you! You would not believe how long I’ve been trying to figure out where the term came from.
The best explanation I’d heard prior to now was that the practice of composing functions was akin to mixing ingredients for curry, (the food) but I’d never really bought that line of reasoning.
Lost the coin flip.
So like, 3 months of PG&E bills?
Pretty sure the lyric is “ride the pony”, my dude.
Blubuntu
There’s that old chestnut: “you know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.”
RCS is an open standard, isn’t it? Are you referring to the E2E encryption that Google added to Android?
Bold of you to assume no one will come up with a replacement date library rather than just getting rid of JS.
Furthermore, it’s “Zeno’s Paradox”, (as in, attributed to Zeno) not “The Zeno Paradox”
Could you uh… elaborate a little?
