I asked my buddies ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and grok and they all said they would never lie to me!

Just trying to keep people safe. Nothing to do with lock-in, rent seeking, control over everything you watch, or mass surveillance. Not about any of that AT ALL!

Hang on, let me Google it...

Iâ(TM)m not so sure. I have a strong feeling that the oh no, your AI is TOO POWERFUL! stuff is largely bullshit that helps build hype and supports grift. I know AI tools have gotten better but Iâ(TM)m enmeshed in this shit every day and mostly all we keep doing is fixing shit AI results. I have developers whose primary job is now taking AI designed and generated proof-of-concepts (proofs-of-concept?) and fixing (or, rewriting) almost everything about the architecture and code to get it operationalized and scalable. But who knowsâ¦maybe this NEXT version will be the one that solves all our problems. /s

Imagine a beowulf cluster...

Or...I posted from a stupid device that replaced the standard ASCII 0x22 quote character with UTF U+201C & U+201D quote characters and replaced standard apostrophes with U+2019 "right single quotation mark" characters. It's what I get for trying for Frosty Piss and posting from my phone instead of waiting until I was at a computer that doesn't do that stupid shit.

Also, it sure would be nice if /. would let a user EDIT a fucking comment after the fact.

Okay, seriouslyâ¦âoh no! See how amazing our AI is?! China is trying to get you! Theyâ(TM)re coming for us because our AI is THE BEST!â

This guy needs to fuck right off. Everybody hates all this AI bullshit and nobody wants giant GPU farms sucking up all the water and electricity in their neighborhood. Fuck China too. Itâ(TM)s entirely possible for people to hate AI without Chinese propaganda.

So...noscript then.

Naturally, a guy who wants to extract monopoly rents to grow his vast hoard of capital believes the masses need to stop owning anything and rent everything. Duh.

You need to work on your reading comprehension and learn how to think critically. What that article discusses is a tactic known as ratfucking. And it also says it worked because the MAGA loonies they supported in primaries (because theyâ(TM)d be easier candidates to win against in the general election) won their primaries and lost or were losing the general election.

From the article:

So, no, Democrats arenâ(TM)t helping MAGA retards win. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I imagine so. Itâ(TM)ll probably take place around the same time we get one frigging thread without Trump sycophants.

I never had a C64 but I still have my original Atari 1200XL, the cassette drive, an external 5.25â floppy drive, and a 32â CRT to plug it into. I even have my original BASIC cartridge and a copy of âoeMapping the Atariâ that Iâ(TM)ve been meaning to show off to my kids (now adults) for 30-ish years. I need to see if I can find original cartridges for JumpMan Jr and other games and original (still readable) diskettes of old Infocom games & one chess derivative game I used to play called Archon. That would be fun.

The conpany I work for had an approved merit increase of an average of 3.5% across ~1500 employees last year and 2.5% this year. Most people taking other jobs are looking at > 10% bumps. I recently interviewed for a job doing the same thing I do now but at a different company that is offering 30% more than I currently make. Know your worth people.
