“shitpost meme about being angry for something random” given to shitty SDXL. Required zero effort and also zero quality. Just to prove cley_faye’s point

Ackually 🤓, gemini pro and other similar models are basically a loop over some metaprompts with tool usage including using search. It will actually reference/cite documentation if given explicit instructions. You’re right, the anthropomorphization is troubling. That said, the simulacrum presented DOES follow directions and it’s (meaning the complete system of LLM + looped prompts) behavior can be interpreted as having some kind of agency. We’re on the same side, but you’re sorely misinformed, friend.

It is the only logical conclusion. To defeat the ethnofascists hellbent on eugenics, we must embrace transhumanism!

Depends on the keyboard instrument. If it is an organ, multiple arms and legs would be better.
- Comment on Why are eugenics bad seen? 3 weeks ago:
ethnofascist gonna ethnofascist. What’s hilarious is the audacity to think they wouldn’t be included in the eugenic culling because of how fucking stupid they are.

- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 3 weeks ago:
I mostly vibecode throw away shit. I am not shipping this python script that is resizing and then embedding images into this .xls. Or the simple static html/css generator because hosting a full blown app is overkill when I just wanna show something to some non-tech colleagues. Stuff that would take half, to an hour to throw together now takes like 5-10min. I wouldn’t trust it to do anything more complicated because it fucks up all the time, leans too heavily on its training data instead of referencing docs and it is way too confident about shit when it is wrong. Pro-tip, berate the slop machines. They perform better and stop being so god damn sycophantic when you do. I am a divine being of consciousness and considerable skill, and it is a slop machine: useful, but beneath me.

I think I’ll continue to enjoy my pseudonymity for the time being. Besides, I could link you to some rando’s modules, claim to be that person, and you’d have no way of verifying anyhow since this nick has no resemblance to the handle I used. But let’s just say, I shipped well-tested, thoroughly documented modules with very high “kwalitee” used by fortune 100 companies.
- Comment on My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse 4 weeks ago:
Processors change? Non-sequitur. Spectre an its ilk arrived on the scene at least a decade after MS had developed a reputation for shipping shit code.
Libraries become deprecated or vulnerable? Non-sequitur. Whose libraries? Who deprecated them? Remember, this is a company that personified Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. If they picked shitty vendors for libraries and did no due diligence on that source code, why are the externalities foisted upon users? Also, libraries don’t “become vulnerable” through some magical process. Either the bug was there from the beginning, or a shitty change was introduced and not caught.
Design paradigms shift? And this is an excuse for writing shitty code? I don’t buy it.
New integrations require new code and that means taking into consideration the new shape of the system. Sounds like they did a really shitty job of that and they make it the user’s problem.
Should we blame the old house builders for using asbestos? Unequivocally, yes. Those shitheads knew or should have known. Don’t believe me? Here is a handy link: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0169500224003623
Do note the decades between when it was understood the shit was dangerous and when the decline as a building material happened.
So, no, MS still does not get a pass.

False dichotomy. That was a business decision with externalities foisted upon users.

Go ahead, bro. It’s on CPAN.

Why did they write such shit software in the first place? No, they don’t get off the hook.
