A condom also doesn’t solve all your problems but it’s a good foundation lol

I can't control that you saw my comments seconds after they were posted but before the 20-30s it takes for me to edit them. There is nothing i changed that drastically for you to imply I was being deceptive.

Have a good one.

And your comment was unnecessarily patronizing IMO. Do you think they needed that today?

If you don’t want people to respond to your takes then don’t post them in public forums. I am critiquing your stance. If it’s overly aggressive than I apologize for the tone.

I understand AI evangelists - which you may or may not be idk - look down on us Luddites who have the gall to ask questions, but you seriously can’t see any potential issue with this technology without some sort of restrictions in place?

You can’t see why people are a little hesitant in an era where massive international corporations are endlessly scraping anything and everything on the Internet to dump into LLM’s et al to use against us to make an extra dollar?

You can’t see why people are worried about governments and otherwise bad actors having access to this technology at scale?

I don’t think these people should be locked up or all AI usage banned. But there is definitely a middle ground between absolute prohibition and no restrictions at all.

BolexForSoup , to Programming in For 'Cheap' Labour, Google Fires Its Entire Python Team: Report

Because a lot of people depend on references from their previous job, including their managers and such, for the next one. Burning that bridge because you wouldn’t spend your last few weeks at the company doing what was asked of you is not a good look. It makes you appear difficult/like you hold grudges. It also might cost you things like your severance.

If it’s that important to you to flip a middle finger to your previous employer then go ahead, but I think most people will decide the cons vastly outweigh the pros. Especially since that person will get trained anyway so you can’t even meaningfully change things.

Because we mostly understand the issue but not well enough to fix it! Weeeeeeeeeee!

And they all stopped playing music at like 19 or 20 so like…they’re fine at their instruments, can read music, even have moments where they sound pretty good. But they ain’t winning a competition lol
