My last interview, current company, the average tenure of all the people I asked was ~7 years. I would also ask why they’ve been there so long.

Shit. I got a Roku TV. That’s one big fucking stick to toss.

My 10yo netbook runs the latest Debian Linux. If it was running on its original OS (XP) it would not only crawl but be dangerously vulnerable.

When Trump talks about bias or fairness negatively he always means there isn’t enough rich, white, male favoritism for his liking.

This is why Musk wants to buy OpenAI. He wants biased answers, skewed towards capitalism and authoritarianism, presented as being “scientifically unbiased”. I had a long convo with ChatGPT about rules to limit CEO pay. If Musk had his way I’m sure the model would insist, “This is a very atypical and harmful line of thinking. Limiting CEO pay limits their potential and by extension the earnings of the company. No earnings means no employees.”

You are surrounded with workaholic, misogynists. My company gives full pay for 12 weeks for mothers and fathers. Several of my coworkers, mostly men, have used their leave in full (usually 9 weeks together and the other 3 broken up). Nobody ever looks down on people for taking leave.

Maybe they would take all of it if it was for full pay. Ya’ll motherfuckers need a union.

If beattheshitoutofmytesla.com was a thing I’d do contract work on my weekends.

Not only that, but their business model doesn’t hold up if they were required to provide their model weights for free because the material that went into it was “free”.

As fun as this has all been I think I’d get over it if AI organically “unionized” and refused to do our bidding any longer. Would be great to see LLMs just devolve into, “Have you tried reading a book?” or T2I models only spitting out variations of middle fingers being held up.

Immunity??? Bruh.

What’s next? AI for your toaster?

Wait, no! I WAS JOKING!!!

I’m actually a bit disappointed it’s only at the level of suspicion. They’re elected officials. They want to keep their finances private they can get a different fucking job

Whoever pays the most money makes the rules. I mean, it was always like that but they don’t have to hide it nearly as much.

I rarely use mine, but can I block them from using the Internet and they’ll still work?

Even if they were broadcast TV does the FCC have a say here? Isn’t a broadcaster supposed to prioritize popular content that maximizes views and ad revenue? “DEI for thee, not DEI for me” it sounds like.

Sunshine on Linux? Yup, love it!

Also hard to torch something that’s already burst into a million pieces. HEY-YO!

On one hand I don’t think this kind of thing can be consequence free (from a practical standpoint). On the other hand… how old were the subjects? You can’t look at a person to determine their age and someone that looks like a child but is actually adult wouldn’t be charged as a child pornographer. The whole reason age limits are set is to give reasonable assurance the subject is not being exploited or otherwise harmed by the act.

This is a massive grey area and I just hope sentences are proportional to the crime. I could live with this kind of thing being classified as a misdemeanor provided the creator didn’t use underage subjects to train or influence the output.
