  • It just doesn’t work like that. In any creative endeavours almost all income is investors that then own the product. Your salaries are speculation and if you get a commission you are very lucky and in the 1%

    Its OK to admit you know nothing about it instead of bicker and gnab because you always know better as a professional guesser





  • Just if you were a hater that would be cool with me. I don’t like “ai” either. The explanations you give are misleading at best. It’s embarrassing. You fail to realise the fact that NOBODY KNOWS why or how they work. It’s just extreme folly to pretend you know these things. It’s been observed to reason novel ideas which is why it is confusing for scientists that work with them why it happens. It’s not just data lookup. You think entire Web and history of man fits in 8 gb? You are just educating people with just your basic rage filled opinion, not actual answers. You are angry at the discovery, we get that. You don’t believe in it. Ok. But don’t say you know what it does and how, or what openai does behind its closed doors. It’s just embarrassing. We are working on papers to try to explain the emergent phenomenon we discovered in neural nets that make it seem like it can reason and output mostly correct answers to difficult questions. It’s not in the “data” and it looks for it. You could just start learning if you want to be an educator in the field.




  • Playing with a amiga as a kid when I was at friends and got to play Nintendo I always felt like an outsider… But I didn’t realise how lucky I am that it was like that. I was exposed to so many more games, and got to tinker. Got to see many crack intros that was mesmerising to me as a kid. Soon enough I got into coding because of it… And guess if that was useful later. I’m never going to think buying a walled garden device is ok, sends the wrong message to your kids and hampers their development. Don’t take the easy way out.










  • Haha you really need lots of framework to work like a normal being but there are benefits too, thank god. Your alarm symphony made me think of one thing that revolutionised this problem for me, a special alarm. It will not shut off until I scan a qr code on my bathroom mirror. After struggling with it so many years it was so fucking unbelievable to finally get something to work. I didn’t even have high hopes since I tried so many notifications, alarms, different types of smart captcha things, but then just physical movement to another place that cannot be cheated just made a huge difference, because once I walk through a doorway, it’s like my brain switches to a new activity automatically. Cheers!


  • Temp hires are kids in school and trainees etc that would almost always have a 3 month contract that then get full time work when they know it will work out. Some elder care companies I know kept hiring new workers constantly and it did not go over well for any of them. Shut down by unions and most old people switched away from these, also the communal overseers removed them from the hiring pools and from recommendations as a choice of provider. All workplaces I have quit, have treated me well, mostly using the time to transfer skills and documentation to a replacement and then saying I don’t have to come in when it seems done. Two times they gave me instant “garden leave” with full benefits which means I get full pay but don’t have to work and if I have other work I can get double salary without having to pay penalties. I also am in a union that by law has to be asked automatically to come in and manage the transfer, those are people that have seen hundreds of layoffs and leavings that can give each party a sense of what is expected, and raise issues or irregular things like you describe to the correct authority. I have not seen any abuse of this law (law of labor safety) from a company or heard of any abuse of the law in my entire forty years of life. It’s because it is taught in schools and taken very seriously by even small businesses.
