To be fair, Musk seems to go out of his way to provoke that hatred. If heâ(TM)d just stick to his engineering and leave the anti-semitism to the professional bigots, heâ(TM)d generate a lot less blowback.

Gratuitous sexism aside, youâ(TM)re exactly correct with your comment.

We donâ(TM)t need machines that generate pro forma bullshit that mimics all the genuine bullshit weâ(TM)re already drowning in. We need machines that can reliably perform menial but important real-world tasks, like food preparation.

A bad developer is often worse than no developer, as the workload introduced by the bugs and maintenance load they add to the project outweighs the benefit of their coding effort.

Iâ(TM)d be very surprised if that doesnâ(TM)t turn out to be the case with Devin. At least with a badhuman programmer you can hold out hope that they will become better with time and experience; I donâ(TM)t think that is the case with AIs as they anre currently implemented.

Not tracking someone is bullying them . . . that's rich. Who is concerned about this? What did they say, and where did they say it? This sounds like the story of the woman suing Facebook for not serving her ads.

This "news" article's logic is so bizarre it sounds bought.

The lead wasnâ(TM)t evenly distributed, it was proportional to the amount of auto exhaust being emitted nearby.

Those who didnâ(TM)t live near lots of traffic were exposed to less lead than those who did.

Aerodynamics is a high priority only when efficiency is a concern. The other approach is to just ignore aerodynamics and add more battery to compensate for the resulting inefficiency, as seen in behemoths like the CyberTruck and Hummer EV.

A planet whose oceans are filled with a liquid that is almost, but not entirely, unlike tea.

A civilization capable of interstellar travel is very likely also capable of growing as much cultured human-meat in a vat as they want. Itâ(TM)s much cheaper to just capture a few biopsy samples and send them back to Betelgeuse then to slaughter, freeze-pack, and ship every human trillions of miles.

Yes, that content. Those same users got value in exchange for their content, in the form of access to a well-designed site full of content that was/is useful to them.

Who is complaining? I'm not complaining, and StackExchange isn't complaining. The only people complaining are the people who think StackExchange shouldn't be allowed to charge LLM companies for access to StackExchange content.

Since we're on the subject, has anybody calculated how much energy a worm has to expend to move aside/through that much sand at that speed? It seems like it must be rather a lot :)

I think itâ(TM)s fair for them to charge LLM developers â" something has to pay the bills, and it wonâ(TM)t be StackOverflowâ(TM)s users since they are used to getting free content.

I prefer this model to getting spammed to death by pop up ads, anyway.

... or some other mechanism that doesn't require the expenditure of arbitrarily large amounts of valuable energy to solve pointless make-work problems?

Other cryptocurrencies have done it, why hasn't Bitcoin?

Ahh yes, living in a $700,000 house, driving $100,000 cars; WHAT PEASANTS THESE ARE!

Seriously, what planet do you live on?

Most people don't get educated in college. And most people don't need college to become a high earner. We should be investing heavily in trade schools for anyone who has an interest in becoming an electrician, plumber, mechanic, etc. We also need a massive number of additional nurses and nursing techs, and most IT jobs don't really require more than a decent trade school either (although there is a distinct lack of "decent" supply and a voluminous overstock of "garbage" IT trade schools). Handyman, landscaping, roofing; all lucrative careers which do not require college. The electrician down the street from me who owns his own business has his work truck parked out in front of his house and his Maserati parked in the driveway. Landscapers here won't take any job worth under $5,000-$10,000. They just say "no thanks". And if you do have a $20,000 backyard renovation to do, expect to wait 6-8 months for a start time.

None of these people require classes in 19th century Romanian poetry to perform their jobs well and make tons of money. And none of them needed to be saddled with $100,000 in debt when they got started. They went to trade schools or they started apprenticing and they put in their time learning the work, and then they started making bank.
