I was auto suspended because I quoted a 30 year old statement supporting the rights of gays and lesbians that made reference to "LGB communities". I was accused of Trans erasure or some other stupid bullshit.
I hope the stock price falls low enough for Elon Musk to buy it for a song.

a) and yet, nobody pays for anything in these situations, usually. Healthcare picks it up. The price is inflated specifically because of socialized services: what's about $10k in operational cost ends up with a bill for $50k because of collusion in the subsidized healthcare environment.
b) and? We need people to fail to be guidestones for the others.
c) then the fee would be significantly higher.
c1) "normal countries" do not have parks like in America.
c2) no, they are not.
These kids compounded stupid decisions. Instead of sitting and waiting and giving their water to someone else to go get help, they went ahead recklessly. It's also an exceptional situation. You don't design your entire system around the exception.
The sick thing is, this is probably the first time most of those kids have ever really been outdoors on their own. They did this, in all likelihood, without any parental involvement, oversight, or inform.
Anyone who's spent more than an a couple hours hiking outdoors would be able to tell you that an 18 mile, 6k elevation hike is a 2 day backpacking trip for people in good shape. lol
The artifact - the dashboard - is unimportant. He was just using an example that his intended audience would understand the value of: C-level executives who live by dashboards.
The process is what's important, and he wrapped it in Microsoft's proprietary ecosystem to bring value proposition of his platforms forward.
The process isn't new, it isn't specific or special to Microsoft, but it would resonate with his intended audience. It's a good process, and one which maps well onto other technologies.
I can trivially do these things today, and could not before:
* I can pull current market data into a local database and not only build new reports and analysis off of them but then feed them through complex workflows
* I can pull current job postings via API and holistically analyze them against my resume, with my intent and purpose in mind (and then I can circle back and trivially build a personalized reusable expert system based on those analysis artifacts).
All of this is of course, fully possible without AI. It's just not practicable: what would take me 6-12 months of concerted effort to make useful can be done in a couple weekend hours over the course of a month. Systems integration is hard, and time consuming, work, arguably more complicated in many ways than development of a singular platform because you've got multiple domains you've got to have expert understanding of to be successful.
No different than any other corporate spin about the inflexibility or uselessness of their platform. AWS does this quite well. "Undifferentiated heavy lifting" - while ignoring the absurd complexity and beta quality of their own services. Every issue I have with their shit, I experience a new and different bug or incorrectness in their documentation, and it takes years for it to get corrected. There are still bugs in Lambda that I discovered and reported 5+ years ago which haven't been resolved.
At every level. They must be using claude to make their business decisions, too.
It's not only being demonstrated, it's being reveled in. Astounding.
I don't know if this is just the symptom of the AI bubble, cronyism, or "late stage capitalism" (even though the resemblance to capitalism long since ceased). But it's a mess.
20 years ago, these guys would've been tried for criminality by now. Both Anthropic and OpenAI. They're making Enron look like amateurs.
I'm glad I am not the only one who found that film insufferable.
I'm glad the plague of 1990s "we're going to make a retard the hero" movies came to an end. Unfortunately, now we're plagued with them directing the films.
I assume there was some form of contract. Generally speaking, any time you send somebody unsolicited copyrighted material, you can expect it to get summarily thrown in the trash, so whomever you sent it to can't fall for the old "you stole my idea" bugaboo.
Or use streaming. One-to-one from the studio to Netflix. The studio gives Netflix the app with trivial authentication. Cheaper and easier than sending drives through the mail.
VFX studios are already doing this for their production pipelines. The processing happens in a data center; all the artists see is essentially a terminal window. Nobody can "walk off" with anything.
Congratulations, you just reimplemented REST with additional steps.
That's a model specific problem, to a large degree.
The "AI assumed something stupid and destructive" problem went away when I started using better planning skills and models which were not anthropic's.
I've not had any of those "wild destructive hallucination reasoning" problems with GLM or Qwen models, even small versions, which I fought with regularly with opus.
Sure, you can do that. You can do that with buggy code that compiles, or python, too.
For AI, you can also have another agent and/or model review and fix it. You can ask it adversarial questions until you get it right. You can ask it to explain the architecture and design (or: you can plan it out ahead of time so that you know the design and then verify it).
It's no different than starting on an existing code base... just faster.
"a bunch of AI bots doing the work of a whole team, is just a pipe dream."
You're not doing things right, then. Or very well. It's pretty low intensity to author/implement 5 substantial features a day, test, fix the bugs, run QA, and do 10-20 odd commits. Give or take, given the complexity of the plans/features and how much they let the LLM fill in the blanks and how thorough they were in scoping the implementation. Maybe 100M-200M tokens, depending on your model/skill/skills/etc. More, if it's a language like python or typescript (noisy, lots of bugs).
That kind of thing used to take a team a day. A good dev might close 2-3 bugs a day if they already have a thorough RCA done by someone else (which, itself, usually takes a 4-8 hours, depending on the issue).
Wait... you mean there were actually people trying to use as many tokens as possible?
It's one thing to try to exhaust a usage quota (which has never been difficult) because it's a subsidized commodity. It's another thing entirely to just burn tokens.
How can a CEO say stupid shit like this? Oh right. CEO brain.
