Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

It still has no teeth. You get to make a presentation to The Overlords, and then they get to ignore it.

Didn't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, but there's no obligation for the government to do anything as far as I can tell.

Be mindful in the voting booth. While neither party is perfect, one is far more likely to promote heavy handed regulation.

I received my first AI-generated pull request recently. It was... not great. A lot of extra code that was not necessary at all, some odd naming conventions, and the size of it all made the whole change set difficult to parse. This wasn't a typical "Well, this works and it's okay, it's just not the way I would do it." Some sections were legitimately terrible.

I have been using AI tools somewhat, but mostly to examine existing structures and answer questions. It's pretty good at that. But the code? I prefer to write it myself. That way I don't forget how it all works, like the people in this article. I am hoping that I can continue to do this for the most part because telling a machine to "just kinda do the thing, y'know" and relying on non-deterministic output scares the crap out of me. Doubly so when I stop being able to understand what's being done to the system.

And one of the devs in the article is from a fintech firm? Really? Man. This isn't good. Well, for them, anyway. For the rest of us it sounds like we have a lot of cleanup work to do...

And what about the computer that was used to write to the floppies?

It could have been worse. They could have decided to use a camera to track your eye movement to move the mouse / focus, so when you want to activate the AI feature you look like you're having a seizure.

The reliance on words like "dreaming" are a cynical marketing ploy to try to make the product seem more human, and more capable, and more intelligent than it really is. Don't get me wrong - these tools are very cool and quite powerful - but strip away some of the layers of unicorn dust and it's still just a (very) sophisticated auto-complete word prediction engine.

It's not alive, it isn't conscious, it doesn't "dream," etc.

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

Thank you for your support, comrade.

I suppose he must be a strong Trump supporter, since Trump is working to remove nuclear weapon capabilities from Iran.

I am old enough to remember when buying a game with online content gave you the game client AND server software.

I can still run old Quake online if I want. Costs id Software nothing.

I know companies moved away from this to an online service model to fight piracy. But we, the gaming community, let them.

We should demand a RETVRN TO THE OLDE WAYS. I personally have been avoiding games that can turn off my purchase on a whim.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

This will not end well.
