Except for governments, rulers, elites etc, I presume. That is, perfect targets for this sort of malware.

Indeed. I've been using `uv` for a year and don't really want to lose it, but this is surely game over.

Also, why didn't OpenAI just get someone to vibe equivalent tools into existence for them? I sure ain't buying their dog food.

Moderated troll? So we're back to the dark days of Slashdot where criticism of Trumpster Fire was verboten? Cool, cool, cool.

And the toddler in chief just spat out his dummy, stamped his feet and screamed and screamed and screamed, putting a 10% tariff on all the nasty people in the rest of the world.

... AI stories.

We all know the emperor has no clothes. We know the "stories" are PR pieces from AI boosters. We know that autocorrect can't replace anybody whose job doesn't involve following an exact script or redoing work that already exist.

Just stop it. Stop promulgating the nonsense. There is no "I" in AI and there is no creativity in the autocorrect that they're pushing on us.

In the meantime we're paying higher electricity costs and having to hold off purchases of equipment or pay extortionate prices for RAM and disks.

All so some billionaires can add a few zeros.

I'm retired, no job to be replaced by the stochastic musings of an over-sold Excel spreadsheet. Just sick of the lies and marketing nonsense. Sick of the slop in the music and writing spheres. Sick of the "I made a C compiler from scratch" lies.

And yes, you can get off my lawn.

Too late.

Seven years ago for me. In a cold place.

I was going to spell it "ARRRGGGGHHH" but your way works just as well. When will the madness end? Either Trump or "AI" or preferably both.

Big up to whoever modded this "troll". Maybe you could show your working?

As a very poor musician, I could be inspired as much as I want by other existing work and still the stuff I produced would be lacklustre.

If I was prepared to use a dose of "AI" pixie dust then I could produce something that gets 10s of thousands of downloads on all the services, possibly even making a bit of money in the process.

So what an LLM is doing really is all that different. It's a sausage machine, "controlled" by uninspired people like me, refabricating stolen works into good-enough stuff for uninspired listeners.

Stealing good stuff to make slop, living the dream.

No mod points today but your answer is absolutely correct: we have to have the subtitles on even for English-language stuff since otherwise we just get a wall of background+music+speech+effects merged into two low-quality speakers.

... and thought it was a training video.

Good grief America, you really are winning the "Ways to Screw Humans Up" league aren't you? At least 100 years unmatched in that category.

I'll go for the "unimaginable profits" bit.

"Greater good"? Does not compute.

The backlash was more about the whole "vibe-coding to a tight timescale concept". Translate to Rust - cool. Just use professionals and take some time over it.

It's an advert for an advert. Adverts all the way down. Advertception.
