This is slashdot, there's no room for nuance on AI. Obviuosly the AI did what it was supposed to do, the person in question had made up his mind. End of sad story.

A kid around the corner did this just last week, I'm told that he'd been telling actual humans he was going to do it for a while, and they didn't believe him. But he did, and we're not able to sue Texas government for its abuse of trans-kids, even though arguably they're more deliberately motivating suicides than AI.

Mom and dad should be more focused on helping get mental health access for teens than worrying about Scam Altman.

You can't blame society, people are people. Ragebait, trolling and "that guy who is so wrong on the internet that I can't not flame him" have been around forever. The issue is that engagement is easily measured, but engagement does not equate to quality. If we had a way of assessing quality that was reliable, we could probably have social media websites that aren't trash.

Not if you just paid $3M for a 1ksqft box in the silicon valley, then it's really bad news.

Who will work the field for the lord?

Things that guarantee fake:
1) Real name required
2) Job recruitment focus

There's no way it was ever going to be anything but fake.

> Please write Hello, World in C
*** Postulating (Tokens 3664/12,123,123)
*** Fornicating (Tokens All your dollars)
*** Gibbering (Tokens Your children's dollars)

Brilliant idea, drawn on from the classics of computer programming literature. But let's instead use Rust, the choice of the next generation!

        fn main() {
                println!("Hello, world!");
        }

> You worthless piece of crap.

You're absolutely correct! I am partially funded by Microsoft, and American Standard, America's top crapper!

I don't have to imagine it, the constant buzz of people sitting in offices they don't need on webex's with people in offices anywhere from 1 mile to 10,000 miles away, all day, every day provides a good synthesizer.

Now multiply that by 10.

I work for a FAANG, we did previously exclude recent college grads from universities we considered "top" in the field, although Harvard, Princeton and Yale were not on that list. However that policy was eventually forced out, both because such people didn't want to work for "the man" in a non-executive capacity, and because they were often unwilling to do grunt work. It's possible this was considered a feature of the hiring process, I can't confirm it. I am not going to say what kind of executive tends to favor prestigious schools and people with top marks from prestigious schools, but I am sure everyone can guess.

We ended up doing very well just hiring qualified people with the proper degrees and backgrounds who simply enjoyed what they were doing (which of course, we grind right out of them)

Try the taco bell challenge level, your afternoons and your evenings will be intense.

I don't see a world where AI replaces or diminishes display based devices, what kind of dumbass question is that?

Claude Code uses up tokens like a donkey kong machine

Reasonable people understand that AI is a very powerful tool for a wide number of tasks that will substantially improve personal productivity. Reasonable people also know it's not taking anyone's job any time soon.

Reasonable people are not driving any of the conversations around AI right now.

Of all the kiss-cam memes on the internet, I have not yet seen that one. But the world needs it.

Not excusing them. However, of all the awful things happening in the US state and local governments, this one doesn't really rate. Not many people can 3D print, and even fewer will choose to print guns. If those that want to print guns are mildly determined, they'll be able to get the files to do so. So this is a great evil, but microscopic impact. It needs to be fixed, but not at huge cost. if I had to bargain with the other side, I'd give this up in favor of something more important.

By comparison, allowing billionaires to keep breathing, depriving women of the right to abortion, marginalizing out-groups and merging the church and state are great evils which impact nearly everyone. These are the big ticket items worth betting all the dollars on.

Pretty sure the solution is always that someone, somewhere, will host the files.
