  but instead give us a heap of AI-generated code and say “just put this in.”

  we now have to reverse-engineer the requirements from their crappy AI code.

  It may be time for some malicious compliance.

  Don’t reverse engineer anything. Do as your told and “just put this in” and deploy it. Everything will break and management will explode, but now you’ve demonstrated that they can’t just replace you with AI.

  Now explain what you’ve been doing (reverse engineering to figure out their requirements), but that you’re not going to do that anymore. They need to either give you proper requirements so that you can write properly working code, or they give you AI slop and your just going “put it in” without a second thought. L

  You’ll need your whole team on board for this to work, but what are they going to do, fire the whole team and replace them with AI? You’ll have already demonstrated that that’s not an option.

  Everyone knows that AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini can often hallucinate sources.

  No, no, apparently not everyone, or this wouldn’t be a problem.

  these platforms will have to display warnings “when a young user initially uses the predatory feature and periodically thereafter.”

  Predatory features should not come with a warning for young users. They should be banned for everyone.

  I didn’t say it changed their point. I said it was pedantic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just pedantic. Those other models were also either trained on human created data, or other models themselves… and those other models… etc etc etc.

  When you go back far enough, it’s all human created data. The person you responded to didn’t spell all of that out because they didn’t need to to make their point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If your interest is in useful prints, I would highly recommend learning FreeCAD and just making your own to solve your own problems.

  Nothing beats the feeling of trying to do something, wishing some tool exists to simplify the process, visualizing what that tool would look like in your own head, designing it yourself, and then watching it (a thing that, as far as you know, has never existed before) get printed into existence for the first time ever.

  …

  And then realizing that your design has some flaws and iterating over multiple versions as you make improvements. 😉

  There are lots of excellent FreeCAD tutorial videos online targeting 3D printing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine that the bubble portion is light weight enough, one could put it on the roof of a data center, apartment building, strip mall, etc. That appears to be the piece that takes up the most space.

  Another thought. I wonder if the bubble portion could be oriented vertically, maybe inside a simple enclosure to protect it from wind.

  I wish I could remember. It was definitely on YT. I think it was in German with subtitles. It wasn’t long. Possibly was someone’s film school project.

  I saw a pretty good short sci-fi film a year or so ago about a woman accidentally finding out that she’s a bot.

  peppering my comments with inane remarks to draw a reaction

  They’re here, too.

  I occasionally see comments to the effect of, “Oh, really? Can you tell me more about that?” That seem pretty likely to just be bots trying to generate data on certain topics for AI training. Thankfully, most people seem to ignore them.

  True, but… I mean… who would try to generate something like that as an image? … I take that back. I’m sure somebody would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Recipes Are Taking Over the Internet — And Thanksgiving Dinner | Food bloggers see traffic dip as home cooks turn to AI, inspired by impossible pictures⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of AI slop, that looks to me like someone that doesn’t speak the language hurriedly transcribing it from paper, getting paid by the recipe, and knowing nobody is going to verify anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Downdetector is down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be great, but this new Internet will somehow need to be able to accurately detect and block AI generated content.

  My guess is that the new social media will be people physically going to established common areas in their communities and talking to each other in person, face to face, which has it’s pros and cons.
