Shareholder tells board to tell ceo to tell 27 year old to tell model to rewrite code base. Hmmm, I wonder how this process could be streamlined.
This is INSANE. Cisco’s president Jeetu Patel has given a 27-year-old engineer unlimited AI tokens to try to rewrite 98% of the company’s legacy code within 24 months, Fortune reports. Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy thinks he can do it with a two-person team. He has just four weeks to prove the approach.

Try to avoid listening to the audio of the plane crash. Try to avoid seeing videos of people dying. There’s a cost to these things, and you are not able to pay it, even if you think you can. Humans are not meant to see and hear such things on such a scale.

Letting the homeless choose to die of exposure is called praxis

He’s exercising his free and rational will to be in this state! It would be a deprivation of his human rights to deny him the chemicals that alter his perception. We can only offer services until he’s ready! That’s the moral position.

It’s so compassionate to allow this man to live in this state. It would be a violation of his rights to arrest him and throw him in an involuntary rehab program. You don’t want to criminalize homelessness, do you, chud?

You can and should call the police whenever you see disordered behavior.

Going to a hood bar for Halloween wearing this and getting beaten to death when someone mishears what my costume is.

I thoroughly enjoy how Palmer smacks Paul Graham around once a quarter. You would think that PG would stop coming back for more, but he’s not very smart, and he doesn’t realize how badly he’s being beaten, or how embarassing this is for him.

Illegal voting arrests typically happen during election season for obvious reasons. Hiding them doesn't protect anyone or anything. Sad.

I do volunteer labor for an organization that helps homeless people get off the street and rebuild their lives. I actually care about this mission, and because of that, I support criminalizing “homelessness” (willful antisocial behavior)

Kara śmierci - z mocą wsteczną - za zamach stanu powinna zostać przywrócona. I nie, nie obchodzą mnie opinie starszych pań zakochanych w premierze Tusku.

They keep making fake mobile game ads because candy crush is the ultimate in addiction tech and they need to get the proles on the program so that their capacity for consumption can be reduced through micro transactions. It’s all about smoothing demand.

The market disagrees with this, and also so does everyone, but it’s very fashionable among midwits to pretend that you don’t get it.
Literally everyone seems to be convinced that AI is a bubble with no doubt in their mind which leads me to believe there’s a good chance it’s not a bubble

And yes, Slazac is one of the biggest midwits on this website. He’s very good at being exactly wrong, sophisticatedly.

“Compassion” is an evil term used by evil people to justify apathy and inaction. The only exception to this iron rule is when the person using the word is physically dirty, tired, and broke. Get this into your head.

Total bullshit, and exactly what every obsolete industry claims about the technology that has automated them. This sort of “pushback” from useless human data processors should be met with a metaphorical bulldozer. Do not ever take into consideration the opinion of someone competing against a computer.
BREAKING: Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs, per the Guardian.

I know you think you can insert yourself somewhere between “will” and “action” to extract rents, like the old days, but that’s over. Now. It’s never coming back. You have to actually care about something, and have ideas about what the world should be. Being a corporate barnacle and parasitizing great men will no longer cut it. You have to be the great man. There is no other option.

Disappointing to see so many people I respect playing along with that midwit.
