So your comment that "I made your point" was supposed to be interpreted as "You successfully countered my point ... Ha Ha"? I wish you knew the definition of sarcasm.

I'm not sure if you are being intentionally disengenuos by omitting the fact that Claude Code is not the source code for Claude, but either way you're pay is stupid. The good news is that you can, with your far superior serious knowledge and skills, spin up a major player in the AI space yourself and get rich in no time. g00d 1uck!

Yeah, the downside of abortion as a rite of passage for Democrat women is influencing (reducing) Democrat chances going forward...

Just to be clear, foreigners (you Canadians) are going to take steps to interfere and influence our (American) elections?

There's no way Democrats will stand by and allow foreign interference in our elections! (Remember how mad they got when the Russians reportedly tried to influence our elections?!)

Simple minds think that understanding something implies support, and the fact that you think smart people don't get taken in by cults shows that you know as much about cults as you do about AI.

I made your point by showing that you're a clueless idiot? Why would you be trying to make a point of telling everyone you are a clueless idiot ... twice now, no less?

The major difference between AIs and you is that AIs actually know what they are talking about.

How many sites similar to Hugging Face are there? You get that if an AI wants access to other AI models source code it knows to look there rather than walmart.com without having to traverse a list of potential targets, right? Or are you one of these "I refuse to look at the evidence / AIs don't know anything, and can't think or reason" slashtards?

1) Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you should. Not everybody wants to install the Walmart app on their phone. 2) If you think only people who drive to Walmart shop there, and there are no Walmart's anywhere near public transport I have no idea what planet you are on, but it isn't planet Earth.

Not really anything new - people have been buying groceries on credit cards for years, it helps to meet basic needs between paychecks. This is a shift from asking a friend or family member bo borrow a few hundred dollars until payday to using an app and avoiding embarrassing conversations with friends or family.

The thing to look out for is when people start missing payments, incurring late fees, etc., that means they have run out of resources/options.

Using credit to manage cash-flow issues isn't necessarily a sign of an impending depression, borrowing $500 or $1,000 has never been easier, and I think that ease is the main driver for the uptick in activity.

Borrowing for basic needs is not sustainable, I'd be curious about the repayment history (how long to pay-off loan) and repetition (how often).

As I recall, micro loans were once the things that were going to lift countless poor folks out of poverty in third-world countries, but somehow micro loans in the US is a sign the economy is about to implode?

I'm sure that will comfort the grieving family. Q: "What happened? Why didn't you answer when I called 911? Why are they dead?" A: "Don't worry ma'am ... it's just a design and implementation issue. I'm sure they have the system still working in Heaven. I hear they don't have any idiots who think that blaming everything on the engineers makes sense up there"

Microsoft never follows anyone's conventions, usually reversing the standard when possible. They use "\" rather than "/" as filesystem separators, for example. In this case there is StandardCamelCase, and then there is microsoftCamelCase. Microsoft does not capitalize the first word or syllable, but they redefine the term CamelCase to "PascalCase" despite the fact that it originated in earlier languages like Smalltalk and Mesa, and just call microsoftCamelCase CamelCase, despite the fact that it can be confused easily with Hungarian Notation (staring the variable name with a type specifier.) They do all of this to try to keep market share, so that it becomes more uncomfortable to move to systems that actually follow standards. If all if this is confusing, that was Gates' intent when he began this kind of shitfuckery 4+ decades ago. His legacy of standing in the way of progress in computer technology continues into the present day. It is *never* about what is good for the customer or developers, and *always* about what generates more money and greater lock-in.

Users decide what applications they install and use, or they get a system administrator to do so. Since you said "your computer" it is fair to say that "you" are both the user and administrator. You can't explain it further because you don't even understand what you are saying. If you are running an OS that forces you to use AI then you are using the wrong OS. Furthermore, you aren't force to set up your applications to use AI running locally on your computer. Finally, you can enable and disable service, even on Windows. If you are going to try to snarky at least be right.

It would absolutely have been more accurate for me to say "even more extremely dangerous." Good point.

I'm not sure you know what a user is or what it is that a user uses.

"So by that logic your computer became a piece of crap over night because an application platform deemed it so."

What logic? I can't find any of it in your comment.
