There won't be any money to hire you after the bubble pops. We'll potentially enter a recession that lasts for a few quarters or perhaps a few years.

AI fraudsters that tricked millions of middle class retirement account managers to invest in the wrong* AI companies are going to come out ahead of course.

* I say wrong companies, because I don't believe anyone can pick the winners right now.

Simple LED display, radio, and the alarm was just a square wave BEEP BEEP BEEP at 90 dB like the house was on fire. I got it for $5 at a yard sale in the 1990's and that was my go-to for waking up my teenage self.

If they didn't know where to click first, then whoever was responsible for the UI did a bad job. Once the program's open, it should be clearly labeled where you click to get started, and how to go from one step to the next as you go. There are thousands of websites out there that do this so that a novice user can get everything entered in the right order without any guesswork, so whoever botched that job had no excuse for their failure.

Hint: Microsoft has a tendancy to put out GARBAGE..

No one doing the hiring is competent, even if they accidentally hire competent people.

It can make completing school or holding most jobs a difficult and frustrating thing. So it isn't simply because someone decided the label is negative. But it is that modern society does not adapt around ADHD, so people with it have to adapt around society. Often with no diagnoses and little help or guidance.

Yah I mean eventually I was going to ask a remote server about every little problem on my computer so it might as well just take a full copy without my knowledge, fuck it yolo, hahahaha. Why would just the chat transcript on my screen that is obviously sent to the server be the boundary, copy everything else too, same diff.

My point is we have lots of utilities that use remote servers to do work, and it's generally understood that the inputs sent to the server are now on someone else's computer. An AI model is no different than how "itranslate.exe --spanish lemonade stand.txt" might work. There's no excuse for copying everything else to some server along with the actual request, that's malware plain and simple. There may be a fine line between that and say you working on *.txt without thinking it through all the way, but that is a very solid fucking line.

JFC, it's even worse, it's like running itranslate.exe in interactive mode and then having it send all your files out because you asked how to say hello in Spanish. Imagine hearing dickheads on /. say well... the translation services are online so ... the fuck you say?!?!

I would say we can chew bubblegum and walk at the same time, but that is definitely not even a technical problem in need of a technical solution.

Dude... how do you compare reading a published book without paying for it to copying the contents of your computer to a server without your knowledge? The problem isn't if a model was trained on your tax records it's that it copied them all without any indication and they're all available to some random grok engineers if they weren't already thanks fucking DOGE.

One IS a copyright question whether you like it or not, the other is straight up malware. Due to the nature of how these things work we know anything in the chat session is on their server already just like anything you paste into a Google prompt is. The checkbox to help them train their model is a pinky promise and we all know it but we know what we're sharing and what we're not. Just because it's in a git repo doesn't mean it's public or ever will be.

The same author who's published books were read and used without his permission (the horror) just had his unpublished works and private notes copied and uploaded to grok because he was smart enough to track things in a git repo and used the tool for a creative brainstorming session. Whatever, same thing right, lol.

Prop a few CDs on your bookshelf in the background while you stream.

In the US, U-turns are illegal in some states, and necessary in others. But we don't make a person who has a license in a different state take any tests to drive in a new state. It only comes up if someone becomes a resident, then they apply for id and license in their new state and take a written driving test. It's all multiple choice and if you fail it you can immediately take it again.

Also, a vehicle with a manual transmission can be push started.

You can do it with an automatic, if both drivers know what they're doing. You put the dead car into Neutral, get it moving and when the car in back stops pushing, slam the front one into Drive, or possibly Low. Not easy, but I've done it once or twice.

In the US a driver's license has very little to do with being able to drive a car. It has to do with being able to obey traffic signs. Operating the machine is something you learn on your own time. With one key exception, a motorcycle license is completely different than more rigorous than a US driver's license. US motorcycle licenses are perhaps closer to the deeper requirements that Europeans expect from a driving test. Because our car driving licenses are a joke, anyone can get one if they can pass the vision test.

All cars were train cars, and the highways were 6 track corridors.

I love hiking. I love the feeling of using all four limbs to control my locomotion. The main disadvantage is that it takes a long time and impractical to carry my groceries for several miles without melting the icecream.
