“Using a compiler for ten minutes erodes your ability to write raw machine code”

If your company sucked before this, it sucks 80x as much now.

I switched companies this year, and there’s a big difference between working for a company that is shrinking and one that is growing right now.

I have swap allocated too, but if you’re sitting there continually powering RAM and have a whole lot of it available (rarer these days), it doesn’t make a lot of sense to throw all of your running programs into it when there’s no current memory pressure. It degrades performance needlessly.

I love how little linux swaps with a large amount of RAM. I was one of those fortunate enough to buy computers with large amounts of RAM before the rampocalypse occurred. So I have 64gb in this laptop, and I want it to be used.

dude, windows uses paging even if it has a free bank of memory to use…i’ve seen it with my own eyes…it’s a complete trash OS…swaps like nobody’s business

The things that truly “slipped their leash” recently are the fucking tech companies.

There should be quotes around “burgers” in this headline as well IMO.

These technologies are amazing! No law they cannot break simply because it’s “using an AI”.

Yeah they basically set up a mutually assured destruction patent stalemate with the existing big players. Any new entrant gets blown to high hell.

It looks to me like they’re lobbying to do the same with “AI” right now. They want to set up some stupid protectionist racket where it’ll be as impossible to use a cheap chatbot as it is to buy a cheap EV in the states.

Companies are considered innocent until…well, always I guess.

Me neither | aesthelete

Could Sergey be on it?

It’s cuz we know how terrible we are. And we’re the ones leading it.

Stop running LLMs attached to an unsupervised eval yolo harness in an endless loop you fucking dinguses.

Literally stop trying to pretend that executing LLM output in a loop with no supervision makes sense.

But that’s their whole demographic.

I agree partially: banning AI generated code is a little nuts at this point.

BUT it isn’t “just a tool”. No mere tool requires tech companies to set up illegal energy plants. No mere tool requires the construction of data centers that consume more power than whole cities. No mere tool requires the acquisition and destruction of untold amounts of rare books. No mere tool requires trillions of dollars in funding without any proof that there will ever be an ROI. No mere tool requires a money furnace to operate. No mere tool requires constant, costly maintenance and development so it doesn’t get out of date. No mere tool requires hundreds of billions of dollars of investment only to see little in terms of quantifiable improvement in the tool. No mere tool requires constant chirping about fictional possibilities of super human intelligence and singularities in order to stick around.

No hammer is built with the promise of replacing the carpenter. No pencil is built with the promise of replacing the architect.

AI is much more than a mere tool. It’s a fucking cult of autocomplete enthusiasts.

Ed Zitron is going to have an aneurysm.

The worst part for me personally (and maybe nobody else) is I love the band the xx but wearing their merch these days makes it seem like I maybe support anything musk based.

Or if we had a functional federal government we could just make this practice completely illegal, and then pass privacy laws while we’re at it.
