prohibits gatherings of more than 20 people on open land where the music played consists wholly or predominantly of “a succession of repetitive beats”

This is a monstrous law and everyone involved in its passage should be barred from politics and positions with decision making power.

People should stop using Facebook products.

The only noise I hear is my music playing from a speaker and a fan. I’m getting natural light from the windows. I have curtains in my bedroom that turn it into a cave.

The pollution, maybe. A lot of that is caused by cars. My parents lived out in the suburbs, but rather close to a major highway that wasn’t good for environmental quality, and was loud.

Cities aren’t loud. Cars are loud.

Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<

Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don’t. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don’t give up.

To your point, maybe you’re just getting older? There’s always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you’re a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited

I feel like most of the time saved is by skipping the part where you learn stuff. Like, the AI fills out how you do a left join with this ORM library. Cool. Now I don’t know how to do that.

You know how a lot of managers are annoying and don’t know anything about how shit works? That’s down the road using LLMs like this.

I’ve never paid a subscription for YouTube. It’s been, what, like $10/mo for ten years? Can buy a lot of media drm free for that $1200.

This supports my hypothesis that living in the city with buses and trains is worth the higher costs.

It enables unskilled people to punch above their weight class, similar to giving a chainsaw to a toddler.

I’ve used them a little for coding, but it’s not always correct. It’s often incorrect in subtle ways. Or inefficient in non obvious ways. It gets worse as you build more.

Often it’s better overall to do it yourself if you know what you’re doing. If you stick to letting the LLM do it, you won’t learn much.

I don’t think I’ve blocked anybody, but I mostly don’t read names. Sometimes I wonder if I’m having a metaphorical fist fight in one thread and a love fest in another with the same person.

Guy at work did a whole mini project with just LLMs and prompting. I asked him some questions about how it works and some implementation details, and he had no idea. Great. I’m going to have to maintain this thing, probably.

It’s eclipsed (no pun intended) by the horrors of war, disease, and conservatism. It’s hard to be excited about the moon when there’s measles outbreaks and at least one genocide.

I think it’s low quality more than low effort. Low effort often gets low quality, but someone could spend hours making a bad Photoshop joke and it’s still shit

There is opportunity cost of Microsoft et al investing billions in AI instead of doing anything else. That money could have been spent on renewable energy research, improving efficiency of existing hardware, supporting work from home to reduce commuting, whatever. Those opportunities are lost because they went with AI instead.

I didn’t mean my opportunity cost from the toilet.

AI is a poor use of limited resources and opportunity.

I really don’t think the billions of dollars spent on AI is equivalent or at all analogous to the time I spend posting on the toilet or while waiting for things to happen at work.

He’s going to keep all his wealth and maybe stroll into a high paying “consulting” gig. It’s unfair. it’s unjust. People who are bad at their jobs and making the world worse do not deserve immense wealth and comfort.

“too good to go”. Cheap food from places near the end of their business day. Like a whole pizza for $6.

Living someplace with usable mass transit is pretty nice.

Gas is too cheap relative to its real costs anyway.

The opportunity cost for AI is pretty high. That’s a lot of resources spent on something that’s bad for the world, even if it’s not specifically the worst for climate change reasons in a first order sense.

Cool. I hope it succeeds.

Republicans are bad people who value personal power and in-group belonging more than anything else like morals or consistency. They are bad people. That’s how bad people make decisions.
