Get ready to Fortipatch your Fortishit!

If your language requires an IDE to show you WTF is going on in the code, it’s a bad language.

Given, there’s ways to write poor code in any language, but some are much, much worse than others. Java and JavaScript being the kings of that kind of thing.

Some day, AI assisted coding will become so intelligent that it will look at your average “enterprise” Java code and ask the user, “WTF were they even trying to do here?” Which is the only correct response a lot of the time.

Thank you for posting this comment. I came here to write the exact same thing and now I don’t have to!

Guy in the back is going to get his kneecaps kicked out.

Koalas have nearly identical fingerprints as well:

Remember kids: It’s not okay to give your developers access to production credentials. However, it’s totally fine to give them to hallucinating GPU addicts.

“Are they breaking any laws?”

“They’re using our AI to figure out how it works! To make their own AI models better!”

“Yes, but are they breaking any laws?”

“No.”

I get that Big AI is bitching but this isn’t something we (as a country) should be actively trying to stop. To do so would infringe on everyone’s rights to do things like scrape the Internet, download your own posts/history, archive stuff, etc.

It’s not even fraud! They’re paying customers! Do they use 3rd parties to pay? Sure. Is that illegal? No.

There’s no way to stop it anyway. To believe otherwise is wishful thinking. It’s like believing that passing some law or series of laws will somehow stop piracy.

Not to be confused with people who identify as grammar. There/they’re/their

Peter drove a Ford!

“And Peter followed from a-Ford.” (Matthew 26:58)

Pontiac had some sales too:

“And the Lord gave them Solstice.” (Joshua 21:44)

The Bible even had the Fast and the Furious!

“The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.” (2 Kings 9:20)

Jehu probably drove a Plymouth Fury (with a lead foot).

I have ADHD, which means I have to go to a psychiatrist every three months to refill my prescription. It’s silly, really but required by law.

Before he died suddenly of an aneurysm, my former psychiatrist was fascinated with me. He said it was because I’m always so jovial… Which I understand now is something of an oddity at a psychiatrist’s office 🤣

Anyway, because if this, he would often give me tests and puzzles to develop “a baseline”. Apparently so he wouldn’t lose his own mind from the more extreme patients he often dealt with 😁

I signed his forms (it was all above board) and he’d test my reaction time, run me through various questionaires about my thoughts, and time how long it would take me to solve simple puzzles. Only challenging one was one of those “fold the boxes in your mind” tests which I assume I aced (that’s my jam!)

I didn’t mind at all! It was actually quite fun working with his staff and psychiatrists in training who were the ones who were always there, recording the results. I would make jokes like, “I’ve been practicing my jumping!” Then pretend to be disappointed that they were only going to ask me questions and not test my jumping ability.

I was the lab rat. Probably the control lab rat but it was still fun and interesting. The best perk was that when I walked into his office, the receptionist would notice me and send me right to the back. No matter how many people were sitting there, waiting.

There were snacks, but only for children ☹️

Now that I think about it, the various tests and questions could’ve been a ruse! They were actually testing my willpower, sitting next to bowls of mini packages of M&Ms and Reese’s the entire time! 🤔

Now I’m imagining his notes:

“Subject 294 still hasn’t taken or attempted to steal any candy. Despite timing his appointment precisely around lunch time and keeping him here for an extra half an hour. He’s still laughing and joking with the staff. I may have to order an ice cream machine.”

It ain’t much, but it’s dishonest work.

Jokes on us: Because of the gravity issue, alien life on such planets jumps right to stargate technology.

“They spent almost a thousand years fooling around with rockets!”

“ChatGPT, what should I do about millions of people being pissed at me for ruining so, so many things? They’re so mad, someone threw a moltov cocktail at my house!”

“Give away $2 billion of your $3 billion to unions or similar causes.”

SamA: “Nyah!” (Throws $20,000 laptop, then pulls another one out of the pile)

Tortoise scammer wants people to shell out.

Yes! The lack of magic in our world is a HUGE pet peeve of mine 👍

So your image file of grandma—the last one of her smiling before she died—will be given the cartoon treatment just before OneDrive spams an ad for itself, saying you’re out of space and deletes the file.

My money is on 1999 as the year of the Linux desktop. I mean, that’s when I switched to Linux full time 🤷

Big Cable is the one generating all the noise to begin with!

The “ceiling” is the fact that no matter how fast AI can write code, it still needs to be reviewed by humans. Even if it passes the tests.

As much as everyone thinks they can take the human review step out of the process with testing, AI still fucks up enough that it’s a bad idea. We’ll be in this state until actually intelligent AI comes along. Some evolution of machine learning beyond LLMs.

Sharing the trauma makes things better?

They should do a study about teams that really know each other! The “kiss to make it better” thing might be even more effective.

“My doctors and nurses were being all lovey dovey with each other… They started making out, suddenly! That’s when I noticed the pain had gone away… It was just… Gone! Precious moments between nurses became real relief. They noticed me watching and I told them not to stop!”
