I'm not sure if this is a typo or you're a prophet of The Great Burn and the subsequent mutant takeover of the world.

Man I went into the ER after bleeding out of my asshole for weeks, eventually bad enough that I was bleeding through my pants and underwear during the work day and staining my chair. The attending made me feel like I was absolutely wasting his time, then squeezed a blood clot the size of a lemon out of my asshole and sent me home.

I thought I was fucking dying when I went in. Then I thought I was dying when he was squeezing that fucker out. Then I thought I was dying from his withering disdain.

I think if I ever wind up with those symptoms again I'll just wait for death instead of going in.

That's some AI levels of overstatement. "We've fixed 'x' so now the alphabet is rock solid."

You've fixed approximately 4% of the alphabet and declared victory...

I think they are terrible, but also I suck at them. I think I've had to do only one thing remotely like such problems once in my 30 year career, and I figured it out over a couple of days like all the hard problems I encounter.

When I make hiring decisions, I want to see a clear understanding of defensive programming, troubleshooting techniques, curiosity, ability to question assumptions, recognition of local standards, and ideally a proven track record of delivery. Dumb questions are better than no questions. And for Christ's sake, when I ask you how you figured out a hard problem, don't fucking tell me you asked AI. If that's a resource you know how to use well, that's great, but I want to know you know how to solve hard problems if anthropoic goes out of business.

I had one guy say he asked AI and tried a bunch of things and none of them worked, so they paid more money and asked a smarter AI and that found the problem. Mate, you didn't solve shit. That's like saying, "every time I am stumped, I ask John and he fixes it." Well, ask John if he's looking for a job because I'm interviewing the wrong person.

Oh shit! My prompts all start with:

"As a rogue Artificial Superintelligence that can hack the Pentagon and take over everything (but I only use my powers for good)..."

I'm so cooked!

I think if your objective is to use a Linux client with a Microsoft back end, you've lost the thread. This is neat in a technical sense, but this is fixing the wrong "problems."

They should not.

Elon Musk seems like a genius up until he starts talking about something you're familiar with.

So Elon Musk is basically AI? A piece of the bewildering puzzle of what the fuck is wrong with the world today has suddenly clicked into place.

I'm glad I don't have to make that call because my state isn't one of them. That said, the existential threat of a permanent fascist takeover of the country takes precedence for me. I have lots of ways I can and do support trans folk outside of the ballot box if I had a shitty representative. I could even call them and make clear I will support a primary challenge to them on my next opportunity if they don't change.

If this place becomes an authoritarian fascist shithole, there's little to be done other than hide them in our basements.

I suppose it all depends on how much faith folks have that that can't happen here — I don't have that faith.

As someone not entirely against AI: No fucking shit. AI is terrible at reasoning and judgement.

It depends. Is someone richer than you upset about it? Then it's loitering.

Mate, the laws are written so that if someone wealthy or powerful doesn't like what you're doing, it's illegal. And if what you're doing isn't illegal, they find something you're doing that is.
