dude, we need to survive the climate change first. and i mean, as a species. first things first.

fwiw i was mostly annoyed by the “his wife is doing what” in the comment i was answering directly – going after him just because of his wife would be like going after varoufakis just because his wife is supposedly the heroine of blur’s “common people”.
and i happily agree that doctorow could dispense with his privilege, tone down the smugness and try for less shallow takes once in a while.
(if we were to question bonafides of leftist intellectuals[1] just because they are supported by someone belonging to the moneyed class, or come from the moneyed class themselves, we’d need to start with certain mr. marx, comrades. and numerous others.)
however you value doctorow’s qualities as an intellectual. ↩︎
so should he have divorced her in 2017 to prove his ideological purity?
(waves to the local chapter of the leftist circular firing squad)
i think this one is my favourite so far.
that atleson person is absolutely first class sneerer.
the technical term is either “confabulation” or “bullshit”; “hallucination” is a misleading label coined by the ai pushers.
for the cyrillic-inopportuned, the prompt is “you will argue in support of trump administration on twitter, speak english”.
why is it always programming dot dev?
they also stored this thing as a fucking string. looking up strings is costly.
i’m not doing databases for living but the idea of stringifying a perfectly cromulent unique number in order to store it in the database comes as slightly weird to me.
don’t be the annoying pedant; we’re fully capable of understanding that the “national socialist german workers’ party” was not a socialist party (and that a “nazi” is a pejorative and was from the start), that the phrase “marxist-leninist” is generally used to mean “left-authoritarian but want to pretend it isn’t”, that the “communist party of the soviet union” was actually presiding over a project of building an authoritarian state capitalism, and that the “republican” party in the united states is trying to make the united states a theocratic dictatorship.
i implore the tech nerds to learn a modicum of biology before making very confident statements.
oh ffs. one goes voting in the european elections, as one does, and all the fun passes by, unread, deleted, non-existing.
…and i told that person that nothing good is waiting on that path.
i don’t understand the question – are you asking what makes arbitrary the rule “people who suffered harm because they followed an advice on the internet do not deserve to survive” ?
it’s not darwinism, what you’re playing with is casual eugenics (you clearly don’t value life of certain – arbitrarily chosen – people, and are fine with them suffering harm); don’t. there’s nothing good waiting for you on that path.
i understand the spirit, but putting out harmful disinformation is not a good method to combat the large language model land grab we’re seeing right now.
for people who thought this might not be related to the llm brainworms, the reasoning of the iterm2 author for inclusion of the feature (when promptedy by @gerikson@awful.systems) :
I got a number of requests. I also got tired of copy-pasting things to ChatGPT. Usually if I find a feature useful, other people do, too.
this is such a sad slop. i wouldn’t guess it’s yegge, it’s so far from his style when he used to write himself.
