Definitely true! And ordering pizza without rocks as a topping should be outlawed, it literally has no texture without it, any human would know that very obvious fact.

African immigrants are stealing the election

Whats funny and kind of sad, is that they know exactly what you’re searching for, and don’t give any fucks about showing you that, and instead will show you this cool other thing that they’re getting their beak wet on thats like, eh… kinda related to what you typed in. Google didn’t get dumber, they just don’t have any meaningful competition which would force them to deliver high quality results, and instead of enshittified their results to the point where they’re practically useless.

tl;dr the internet didn’t used to be about making money, it was a place where people created all kinds of content, for almost no reason at all, and almost nobody was making any money, except AOL which blew all their money on CDs probably

The Fox has been re-promoted to my daily driver as of this year. Chrome still in play for work stuff & sites don’t have ads.

So if Trump is elected the USA will be run like Twitter

RTO = free layoffs

How about making it illegal to block copying and pasting on website forms. I’m literally more likely to make a mistake by typing a routing number than copying and pasting it. The penalty for should be death by firing into the sun to anyone caught implementing any such stupidity.

#1 African scammer who would sell out “his country” for the price of X premium has a backdoor to all military infra, Xi is getting a chubby

“Works on my machine”

I am a black box

I tried to get it to build a game of checkers, spent an entire day on it, in the end I could have built the thing myself. Each iteration got slightly worse, and each fix broke more than it corrected.

AI can generate an “almost-checkers” game nearly perfectly every time, but once you start getting into more complex rules like double jumping it just shits the bed.

What these headlines fail to capture is that AI is exceptionally good at bite sized pre-defined tasks at scale, and that is the game changer. Its still very far from being capable of building an entire app on its own. That feels more like 5-10 years out.

3 months maybe, 6 centuries definitely

Its not like jobs will disappear in a single day. Incremental improvements will render lower level tasks obsolete, it already has to a degree.

Someone will still need to translate the business objectives into logical structure, via code, language, or whatever medium. Whether you call that a “coder” or not, is kind of irrelevant. The nerdy introverts will need to translate sales-douche into computer one way or another. Sales-douches are not going to be building enterprise apps from their techbro-hypespeak.

You do literally get a monthly bill for it, so… yeah?

People act like subscriptions are a new thing for cars, and somehow mentally gloss over the fact that they have to physically go in to renew their energy subscription weekly, not to mention the quarterly, and bi-annual subscriptions for oil and various maintenance respectively.

Everything has always been a subscription, you’re just a frog that’s well done.

Don’t get me started on your road subscription.

Its a valid rant, ditto to email

I exclusively browse with cURL and manually parse HTML myself the old fashioned way

Oh how the mighty have fallen

I can still recall my first PC, I used to love smashing the turbo button. No fucking clue what it did, but it sure was fun to press!

But surely the desktop PC market is going to bounce back soon

Any day now
