This is interesting. I’ve been setting up our non-profit’s new grant-funded Azure VM, then Wordpress site, then CiviCRM, then hardening it all, and I’m hoping to offer this as a (volunteer) turnkey service to a few other nonprofits in town. And it’s amazing to me how many hours this still takes, and how out of reach it is for the average nonprofit.

Oh thank god I was afraid some more kids might not get talked into suicide by a fucking server

The simple act of comparing signatures meant that it was very difficult to randomly target people. We don’t have anything like that today, like a key/token pair.

Just put Altman on mars. Musk too. All the billionaires can go. Right now, no habitats needed

I hope they tell us when it starts because I won’t notice otherwise

Well my decision to cancel Spotify last month is already paying off.

What um, what court system do you think is going to make that happen? Cause the current one is owned by an extremely pro-AI administration. If anything gets appealed to SCOTUS they will rule for AI.

There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your “leadership” education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.

It’s sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it’s only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.

The Dems finally figured out it’s incredibly stupid to keep fighting and pushing upward when it just results in a net loss for us. Took them a surprisingly long time to figure it out, and we lost a lot of rights, including trans rights, in the progress.

Yes, but the media is willing to lie for him and whatever form necessary to normalize all this

mRna is cancelled

For real, people have plenty of reasons to be pissy with AI, but if it has the power to destroy the current internet, there are massive silver linings.

Sadly whatever replaces it will be even worse.

Once you start playing with radiowaves and antenna you start noticing the intricate ways it plays with and around bags of water like bodies. I’m sure the original research on location/movement tracking was due to scientists trying not to get interference, later once they figured it out it was natural to see how much data they could get out of a radio interference profile.

I remember the original tech was going to be marketed as a way to tell if your old person (parent etc) had fallen down and stopped moving. Not the best use case, and then the privacy implications became clear. Once that happens the race begins to exploit the tech.

…But the eventuality here is something like a Star Trek tricorder that can take multiple vitals and detect irregularities from across the waiting room. Sensors that remember who was in a room and what settings they had. Etc. Some cool thing besides the bad stuff (microtarget those ads).

One of the ways I knew my marriage was over, he disabled location services and left them off for months and then years. I followed when I started fucking other people.

There’s no way a libel database could be a bad business model

Or maybe the rampant drug use and sales?

That’s exactly it, they’re making themselves “indispensable” at the consumer level to hold on for dear life.

But, on the other hand, you have companies like Klarna that are successfully using AI to replace, in one case, 700 humans or 3/4 of their tier 1 support staff. And every other company perks up at that. There is definitely a use case for AI, it’s still improving, and business will keep it going in some form (which will be great for the poor neighborhoods they put the data centers in).

They can hold session memory including 10+ source files, and a looong chat, but when you run into the wall, suddenly it’s eating its own memory to keep going, rather than forcing me to reset the session. Which is interesting, like co-coding with a mild amnesiac. “Hey remember when we just did that thing 2 minutes ago?” I should have started a new session when I branched.

Yep I’ve got a working iOS app, a v.2 branched and on the way, with a ton of MapKit integrations. Unfortunately I’m getting depreciation errors and having to constantly remind the AI that it’s using old code, showing it examples of new code, and then watching it forget as we keep talking.

Still, I have a working iOS app, which only took a few hours. When Jack Dorsey said he’d vibe coded his new app in a long weekend, I’m like, hey me too.
