I have 25 years of experience working in codebases good and bad. I have many techniques for handling truly brittle, miserable codebases. These are not bad, are small, and do not give me problems.

This kind of code would give me more problems, but "problems" just means it would take more time. I enjoy working with code that scares other programmers, because I enjoy using the skills I have developed.

How much compute power will that take?

Yeah if you long-press the power button on my phone now it opens Gemini instead of turning off the phone. Intuitive UI.

Not saying you need to read that, but next time you can just post it in response instead of getting angry.

Add to that the consideration that a *lot* of humans can't even figure out that Trump is dangerous and many of those humans will be interacting with AI systems. I can already 100% guarantee that AI is an amplifier of human stupidity, and the question is not "will it be involved in the downfall of humanity", but merely "how long until that happens." People think that in order for AI to "kill us all" they have to do it on their own, or have intent to do so. Just as "guns don't kill people, people kill people" so too can it be said that "AI won't kill humanity. People will kill humanity."

You don't seem to understand that, while it is true that this mistake was caught by humans, there are currently systems with less human interaction and things are moving in the direction of taking humans out of the loop entirely.

"The question is ultimately if you would have been better served with doing your own investigation rather than relying on AI, did you retain the knowledge, and was the information complete/accurate."

no,yes, and mostly, respectively. You are lost in a broken paradigm where you think AI is some kind of assisted search technology. With frontier models you can have intelligent conversations, and they are pretty much always more beneficial than talking to most people. They provide links to sources, but they go far beyond being mere sources of information. I have to assume you have either never used, or never actually learned to properly use, AI.

Clearly those ducks have seen more video footage of Trump from sources other than Fox "News" than a large segment of the voters have.

I guess you didn't get the memo, but Trump explicitly stated that he doesn't think about *you* at all either. As far as "getting things done" you can't possibly be so stupid as to believe that unless you mean "undermines the country and destroys any chance of the country avoiding complete disaster."

I think my Linux desktop preference would run - first Cinnamon (Mint FTW!), then MATE, then XFCE.

But I will admit I still sort of miss Enlightenment 16...

This is one of the most hilarious talking points. Right up there with complaints about Obama being born outside the US, when McCain was factually born outside the US. It's on McCain's birth certificate.

According to the Iranians, JCPOA wasn't working. Part of that could have been because congress didn't ratify it.

What are you talking about? You can literally hack Mac OS for whatever reason you want.

This is why I don't own a Playstation. I am only one person, but I still count as much as anyone else.
