@petrillic I remember when Eich was the epitome of the "terrible tech person we all love to hate", rather than just "number 237 on the list of thousand worst people creating technofascism this week".

@zzt

@paco I wonder how Toyota head office feel about their customer service people giving legal advice?

Achievement unlocked: got my first solicitation to act as an "interview proxy" (take job interviews for other people). I cannot imagine how that could possibly be a bad idea...

@GossiTheDog that section is something that, if I read it in an Onion piece, I'd think they were having an off day and needed to make the satire more plausible.

@mwk explaining to my family why I just spontaneously exploded with laughter might be a bit tricky this time.

@digitalsnow #TimelessToot

@mrotteveel Schrodinger's toot.

@flpvsk if all they needed was a clear rule that allowed the rejection of slop PRs, then a straightforward "no slop" policy would work. "Setting aside the ethics" weaselage is a clear indication that they want to allow slop, while framing the debate in such a way that nobody is allowed to make them feel bad for doing so.

@GossiTheDog I'd be willing to bet that if they paid real humans the same amount of money as the true cost of running the LLM, they'd find more and better bugs.

@campuscodi "US sanctions Kenya" headlines in 3... 2... 1...

@GossiTheDog still got about eight months to make it happen...

@dalias you'd absolutely hope so, but the "embrace" phase has been completed, the "extend" phase is in full swing, and arguably the "extinguish" phase is already rolling.

@eigen Linux got taken over by the corporate bootlicker class years ago.

@mhoye

@carnage4life need to rebrand as AIStop, they'll have that valuation by close of business.

@fesshole everything is relative.

@davidgerard the giant super brain they built can't come with a better revenue model than "1990s style display ads"?

@eviltrout alternately, you are a super loyal customer but the dealer's programmer was a big fan of fixed size unsigned integers.

@davidgerard "don't be mean to my linear algebra, you might hurt its feelings" is one heck of a statement.

Don't threaten us with a good time.

"E-scooter rental companies say proposed laws threaten Qld viability"

"The government's proposed legislation — including new licensing requirements, a 10km/h speed limit on footpaths, and an age restriction — are expected to become law in July."

@hacks4pancakes there's Hashimoto's in my family, and I too have Questions.
