It's ok if you want to believe that. You can lie to yourself all you want but that doesn't really change facts.

The reality is that it generates good boilerplate code.

From the anecdotes I've read about LLM code generation[...]

so you haven't used LLM code generation, that's ok

It's basically just a machine for automating the taking on of technical debt.

wait, how can you opine on something you have never used or seen, and only "read about"?

I HAVE LOUD OPINIONS ABOUT THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Wondering when he'll cry the equivalent of "But but but Hunter Biden!!"

literally did in the followup tweet. after withdrawing support, in the next paragraph he blamed the "political caste" as usual.

The drama is still unfolding over here. The opposition party is trying to trigger a market crash. The r/argentina subreddit was completely overrun by troll accounts repeating the same messages all weekend. A low volume "traditional investments" subreddit was also target, very subtle "how do i protect myself from tomorrow's crash?"

The kirchnerists are trying to capitalize on this by triggering a market crash, an exchange rate crash, and a bank run. This is the people we voted against, and this is the reason we voted against them. The problem with their plan is that "big money" doesn't fall for it, is very informed and well aware of crypto scams. Basically a bunch of americans lost a lot of money in a stupid memecoin gamble.

A lawyer in the US filed a lawsuit against Milei. Hours later it was known that the lawyer was detained in the US a couple of years ago for extortion. Demanded 70M USD from a company "or he would release their wrongdoings to the public".

actually the story is a bit more complicated. There were talks with two people, an argentinian guy, and a singaporean. Their company is called "KIP Protocol". They were behind the idea. The pitch was they were going to create a coin to "support argentinian startups" or something like that. An american guy (Hayden Mark Davies) was involved and he was going to provide the "technical infrastructure" for this.

They met with Milei in the government house in january and apparently Milei agreed to support the "endeavor". Milei's advisors were following the matter.

Then Milei for some reason tweeted about this. We don't know the motivations. Depending on who you ask, the answer is "milei got paid for scamming", to "he was advised by his team to tweet this". Milei, just like Trump, tweets all day from his personal account. It's not known if Milei was told by his advisors to tweet this, or if he decided to do it by himself.

A few hours later, Milei retracted his support for the tweet. This happened after the rug was pulled. Around 10 wallets that controlled the coin pulled out at the same time leaving everyone else holding the bag. Milei was probably advised that this was happening and he posted a followup tweet stating he no longer supported the project after "having learned more about it" (probably after learning a lot of people were scammed).

The american guy behind this posted a video saying there was no wrongdoing and the coin crashed "after Milei pulled his support", in fact, blaming Milei for "not standing up to the agreement" (the whole video was basically "if milei kept his mouth shut none of this would have happened", basically a scammer got busted).

In all, this seems like a combination of ignorance from Milei, bad advice from his advisors (either from ignorance or malice), and basically falling for a scam orchestrated by 3 people that met in person, in an official meeting, with Milei and his team back in january. It's really too early to know but we'll learn over the next few weeks when heads start rolling. The 3 people involved seem to be abroad (in the US) so US authorities will need to get involved.

well yes except that literally no one in argentina bought into this memecoin. all of the affected people are abroad, most of them in the US.

in fact, only 2% of the tweets about this are coming from Argentinian accounts.

he's not facing impeachment. the opposition party filed for impeachment but none of the other parties (except the communists) are supporting this.

this is a (legal) non issue so far.

AI has been fully adopted by management for everyday tasks. I worked with a guy who drafts all of the team's ticket and has ChatGPT correcting them. Tickets are now very pretty and fluffy. But they have no substance. There is NOTHING in them that wasn't said in the 2 or 3 bullet points

AI slop is a waste of time. I have to scan through screenfuls of useless text. The ticket descriptions have "acceptance criteria" such as "make sure the client follows the API specification". Yeah and what else is it gonna do if not?

Today we sent a notification to a client letting them know of the payload we were going to use with their system. The response was a fluffy AI slop with 3 bullet points saying how great my payload was, it's awesome that it uses JSON for maximum flexibility, and the fact that i called the "push" function was "ideal" for their integration. "In short, it's a great job from our side"

At this point I'm feeling insulted. A "great, looks good from our end" email is more than enough.

AI was supposed to increase productivity but sifting through screen over screen of AI slop just adds more time.

Oh I know, we need an AI Agent to summarize emails!!!

LOL a protest in a place designated by police, in silence, without bothering anyone else is not a protest.

It's like saying "workers have a right to strike but they should continue to work, as not to inconvenience anyone else".

Yes. The "Piracy is morally justified" types really get their panties in a bunch when it's THEM that get pirated.

Ah yes, it's always the upper elites.

Such as the canadian truckers that got all of their assets frozen when the government abused its power to shut down their right to protest.

And no one will receive jail time, probation, or anything.

There will be a fine of probably a fraction of a percent of Meta's daily revenue.

And a few lawyers will make a ton of money. That's it.

there is Mickey food products in Paraguay. Since Disney never bothered with the paraguayan market, this company registered the trademark. Including a logo featuring The Mouse himself.

Disney sued, and lost.

also it's hosted in Meta's very own ollama repo: https://ollama.com/library/dee... ahahaha

I, for one, hope NVIDIA stock comes crashing down, and all of that money is reinvested more diversely.
