The Internet inherently routes around malfunctioning network segments.

Any law like those mentioned will be used to legitimize selective enforcement, only against those who upset the wrong important person.

Stay anonymous and locked down, don’t comment from your point of origin. Don’t use corporate services.

Huh, I’m not an attorney but that sure seems actionable if the intended use was documented in a contract.

She’s gonna get a share of the lease revenue on that, right?

…right?

You can tell this article is bullshit, because the link contains businessinsider.com.

I’ve used Claude and Codex, and while both are based on untenable economics, I can at least attest that my use of Codex has yielded some productive results. Claude, so far, has delivered fuck all that’s useful to me.

“Won’t somebody please do something about these troublesome whistleblowers?"

The needs of employees are now considered externalities.

Okay. I’m sure, eventually, somebody will build something you’re comfortable sitting in and complaining about.

You should check out the American manufacturer Slate, they’re building an EV that’s almost exactly what you’re describing.

How is my $12k used EV city car, getting charged on 10kw of solar on the roof, not making at least a minuscule dent in the clarity of the air?

I’m sorry it sucks.

It seems like there’s a dividing line between newer techs and senior techs that determines the difficulty in getting new gigs. I don’t know where it is but I crossed it at some point in the last 10 years.

Each time I’m done with a job I’m sure there will be some kind of horrible gauntlet to get the next engagement, but it stopped happening. Maybe I just made a lucky connection but it keeps happening. I think they just want candidates who have seen some shit.

I guess the point is that eventually you’ll have done something that gives you the right gray in the ponytail. Keep at it.

It’s a bit late in the game to start pumping the brakes now.

This will let you perform your pointless and demeaning corporate make-work bullshit job twice as fast, so your boss can flip a coin to decide whether its you or your colleague he will fire.

I recently started using the Vivaldi browser, which has reduced my ad-tracking footprint appreciably.

• Save a file
• Commit it
• Change that same file
• Commit it

You know, a year ago people in charge were all, like nooo we’re not going to fire people and pocket the payroll savings

When did we cross the line where everybody stopped lying? I mean, our vaunted business leaders dropping the bullshit is welcome, even if its bad news… but the interesting bit is in the collective, unconscious decision to just own up to this as the likeliest future.

Enjoy your access to this technology before the bigger players do something that “disrupts” your capability to:

• Use electricity
• Afford computers
• Have time to think about stuff other than food & shelter
• Get access to medicine
• Discern truth from fiction for anything you’re not directly experiencing

We’re on a razor’s edge balanced between dystopia and a sci-fi dream, and we keep getting pushed in the wrong direction by the tech debt and social/economic conventions of the 20th century. We need to tool up while we remain in this transitional phase. It might be very bad later. There’s a chance it might be awesome too. Expect the worst, hope for the best.

To beat the enemy we must become him!

Not to worry, we will cover the expense.

The feeling of constant acceleration is valid. It will only get more intense in the coming years, so consider this your practice round.

In spite of the marginal results a lot of current LLMs can deliver, they are making a difference in some areas of work. I’m a data engineer and working with an agent over the last few months has been a revelation. You have to wrangle it just so, but with an adequate context well-defined, you can plow through months of tedious due-diligence and fine-tuning in days.

I wouldn’t trust it for medical advice… yet… but the time will come when it stops being “ai” and becomes like autofocus or voice transcription or shopping cart suggestions, just another tool. Something else will take on that mantle, and be a different, even more disconcerting mixed bag.

There was a book that came out about 20 years ago by Ray Kurzweil, named The Singularity is Near that discussed this phenomenon in detail, and so far has been prophetic. It will help you understand what’s happening and what’s coming next.
