Durability in itself doesn’t mean a lot if 2-3 big guys could tie you up. Muscle strength will only get you so far.

That’s why the WGA went on strike in 2023.

Internal consistency has been a problem in TV / movies since fucking forever. If your argument is that the show runners are not the writers, far as I’m concerned it’s semantics and I don’t really care.

You seem to not understand who is fucking over creativity in modern times.

I made no claim of creativity being fucked over. My observation is that too many creatives (producers, directors, writers, whatever) think the Role of Cool trumps everything else, including that unnecessary burden we know as internal consistency.

You seem to have missed the 1001 negative side effects of Prohibition, that eclipsed the tiny ideological victory of reducing drinking.

Additionally, there is no consensus on whether Prohibition was even successful at that, owing to a lack of hard data.

This is quite aside from the fact that today we’ve figured out that criminalising drugs and users is the wrong approach and does a lot more harm than good. But we STILL have people like you.

Probably because they get pissed off by the illogical anti-AI crazies.

So… If AI were actually as bad as so many people are saying, it would actually only take one?

Not the video, the article and headline.

Maybe start by finding that headline

A tool is thus any kind of thing that lets you do something you wouldn’t otherwise have been able to.

Immediately goes on to using a fork as an example. Wtf are you doing eating with a fork that you couldn’t be doing with your bare fingers?

Argument is stupid, and falls apart at the first hint of critical thinking.

My best idea is that we make it illegal to provide llm access as a service - maybe everyone who uses one should have to set up their stack themselves.

Are we gonna set up a Great Firewall to block providers in other countries too? And VPNs, and all the other fun stuff.

I swear, some people still think Prohibition was a great idea.

I agree with you, but we have to accept that we’re a sad minority. Way too many scriptwriters think ‘internal consistency’ is something you get from eating fibre.

It was only very recently you could even look at your own games library.

Really? I am definitely unfamiliar with their launcher, but I could have sworn you could view your library.

Their explanation comment above makes a lot of sense though.

Just had to visit the mines.

You say that, but I’ve seen stupider things work on stupid people.

No, it’s Ankh-Morpork

This. There was no loop, the software pissed me off so much I deleted it.

It took them 6.5 years to implement a shopping cart in their store.

“This first release is light on features. Think of it as a speedboat and not a yacht! Though it does have advanced digital commerce technology such as a shopping cart.” - Tim Sweeney

Give them a break, it’s an advanced technology. Definitely not something we implement in college Programming 101.
