No.
We need common sense protections from the corporate emperors who rule said technologies.

Did you know Wayne Gretzky and his brother hole the record for highest scoring brother duo in the NHL?
That comment reads the same way.

It works fine for 90% of your use cases…the exotic stuff will need real engineers though, the script kiddies aren’t powering through some of those problems.

Is China really that much worse than Trump’s regime? It sounds like we are all fucked outside of Europe.

You don’t have to spread rumors. The Truth is scandalous enough. The cult will cult.

I’m still really struggling to see an actual formidable use case
It’s an excellent replacement for middle management blather. Content that has no backing in data or science but needs to sound important.

That’s why a monkey is used in the thought experiment. Monkeys do think at a low level. As it goes insane over centuries of imprisonment in front of its jailer, it’s likely going to try complex solutions to get out. Think of the hell infinity would really be for this monkey.

- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 4 months ago:
That’s a fair comment I guess…but it’s the reality of the game. The US was a free market through it’s early history and today is the result of that.
It’s just how the free market ends, always. It starts with a few winners consolidating, abusing their monopoly and buying their government protections, and poof…welcome to late stage capitalism.
“Free Market” people always disregard human nature at it’s worst. There will always be people and orgs that game the system. You simply can’t prevent that. The US is absolutely an end game free market.

This is textbook late stage free market ideals at work. This is how the free market always ends.
- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 4 months ago:
No…stack I can usually figure out from the context of questions what went wrong. AI will very confidently and eloquently give you a very subtle bullshit answer.
- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 4 months ago:
What’s really ugly is it makes really good code with fucking terrible bugs. My last job for all of six weeks was trying to fix and integrations wrapper of an integrations wrapper on a 3rd party library of integrations.
It looked like really good code, but the architecture was fucked beyond repair. I was supposed to support it for a fortune 50. I quit before they could put me in the on call rotation.

That is hilarious. That explains a lot.

Getting 4 sponsored links and an AI overview before I get to the search results.
It’s basically all the shit Yahoo did to lose their search dominance.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 4 months ago:
That’s a feature, not a bug.
The best and brightest will challenge leadership. The shitty barely competent value engineer will say yes until they fuck up so bad they get promoted.

Exactly…they won’t be picky about raises or working conditions.

I don’t know if you’ve used Windows lately, but you get the GPU drivers on a fresh install (if you’re using a remotely mainstream video card).

Jesus Christ…wtf Sony.

I’d be willing to get those games run fine on a console and in Windows with no extra steps.

I am indeed. I’m actually pretty proficient with OSX and Linux…but fuck me…getting games to run is a whole new level of hell. I fucked around with it for a day or two trying to get my gaming laptop to run steam games in Ubuntu…wasn’t worth it.

Wait wait wait…I haven’t been paying attention to the pro at all since I hard the price point…it really doesn’t have a disc drive?

No…no it doesn’t. Ask me how I know.

There’s a reason the resale value is so cheap.

And lose all that instant torque. No thanks.
- Comment on Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate. 5 months ago:
Actually, they do allow (in the US) in an 80’s car. A lot of the regulations around that sort of thing are very relaxed for classics.
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 5 months ago:
That’s a prime (pun intended) example of what I’m talking about. Amazon likely hired them to write the algorithm to watch people shop, they couldn’t figure it out so they decided to watch the video 24/7 instead.
