@woozle sorry, being DDoS'd by a botulism attack, afk

@simonzerafa No, it'll burst sooner than that. Once SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI have IPO'd the big hypemongers will take their loot and run away, very fast, leaving the shareholders holding the bag.
Back in '99-00, the dot com bust followed a wave of IPOs as founders cashed out …
@cstross @simonzerafa you mean cached out.
Without looking it up, do YOU know what the phrase "Two Minutes Hate" means?

boilerplate: noun (software development) The necessary parts of any software that a developer is not interested in writing.
I just posted this announcement to wikitech-l mailing list.

We love you, keep fighting
@Nephrite it's very specifically about satisfying their legal obligation to provide training in order to shift their liability onto their employees
@jenniferplusplus Damn, that's fucked up. Literally kafkaesque.

I wish there was a good way to know how's the public sentiment on AI.
You come on here, you would think everyone hates it.
But then out there literally everyone is using chatGPT. Even if they know it lies. Even if they know it makes you dumber.
Even if they incited kids to comit mass murder, and if they agreed to collaborate with fascists. In fact, when you bring those things up, most people never heard about it.
And the next day, they'll keep using it.
Oh, you mean real ones, I thought you meant billionaires.
@stefan_hessbrueggen Meine Spezialität: gemischte Proverbien, zum Nachtisch: false friends. Da geht die Sprache wohl manchmal mit mir durch. Da flötet das Schweinefilet. Und dreht sich der Saumagen in der Pfanne um, bis sich die die Zehennägel kringeln. Jedenfalls kommt kein Chatbot auf solche Ideen. 🤗
@Sascha und die Halle steht auf den Zehenspitzen.
@alcinnz Sorry to hear that.
Here's a hug. 🫂
Still, your hug's appreciated!
The ultimate in #BrokenPost bothsidesing. One party is fascist, the other isn't working hard enough to defeat the fascists. Big difference.
Americans don’t like either political party. We asked them why. https://wapo.st/4nSB6Sl

@lowqualityfacts this is such a common mistake when people don't know how to write Japanese. When you write the vowel extending "ー" (for example, in jū) vertically, you have to write the line vertically too.

This is why you should always ask a translator or at least ask a friend who is a native speaker to proofread when you're using a language you don't understand. Otherwise, it just comes off as appropriation imo.
The medieval calendar had something like 80 to 100 feast days a year when work simply stopped. We engineered ourselves out of every one of them. I’m given to understand this is progress.
@Daojoan In Denmark we recently lost our "Great Prayers day" which since 1686 had replaced a number of penitence days. So you could say that Christian reformation was what (partly) happened.
In all fairness the 20th century gave us weekends, 37 hours workweeks and min. 5 week holidays.
Look. Y'all.
There is no giant seething critical mass of morally outraged republicans, just teetering on the edge of voting blue.
That is a fantasy. And frankly, it is a ridiculous fantasy. Waiting with baited breath for your enemy to come save you from itself? Come on, y'all.
@jenniferplusplus it's a fantasy that lets liberals pretend the status quo is viable, so it's very popular

Hi. 
I'm a professional computer geek in the Bay Area. I've been a sysadmin, designed and built networks, been a penetration tester, done security research, and incident response. I'm flexible enough to work as in aerospace engineering as well as computational pharmacology.
I'm still #unemployed.
I'm searching for a job, on-site or remote. If you're hiring, please DM me, or at least send me a link or two? Please?
