Indeed! The old magiks were good enough. Thye young ones today could do well to learn some lines of command!

Yea. Slightly modified - “If conditions are now so prefect now that 8 billion humans can ask their computer nicely to program itself, and it works, then why is non-shit-tier software still vanishingly rare?”

Too much risk of fireball ear.

It’s fair game after getting legally married, though.

Not my living room. Nice try, fuckers.

Why does it cost so much to engineer new models?

We need at least two massive quantum leaps in quality before this stuff can be long-term profitable; and there probably simply aren’t two quantum leaps left in the current pathways being explored.

But turning off all the bots, contracts, and lies would cause the investment money to stop immediately, rather than later.

Everyone perpetrating this scam wants to cash out a tiny bit more before it crashes.

Right. But Fermi’s Paradox applies.

Everyone is buying and selling software miracle cure…but all of the software itself is still exaclty as healthy as a con artists prize race horse (not healthy, and actually a mule).

And a lot more money. And so much more power and water. And more data. And more money, too.

AI is apparently playing by black-out rules on it’s “horrible things we should all know better”, bingo card.

“Except your four fastest ships?!”

“Well, naturally, not those four.”

I have decided it i’s time to simply quote obvious movie villain lies in response to headlines from oligarch illegal merger corporate assholes.

They probably live much longer.

But then that’s more years of not eating and drinking to excess…so I can see it both ways.

I was taught how to eat in school, from a food pyriamid modified by producers of breads, dairy and sugar. :(

Brief off-topic aside: This recurring thread has been a bright spot, for me, in a sad Internet, this year. Thank you.

As for what I’m playing - mostly Palworld. The late game has allowed me to try to breed perfect pals while getting as deep as I like into farm management and interior decorating. It’s been very fun. Well worth the sticker price.

We can try to amplify the voices of the underrepresented.

Sometimes that might mean sitting with “let’s all take 5”.

“Let it kill ten people. I’m still not eating mushed peas, Dad.”

“Someone may inconvenience you, today. Give yourself permission to knock things off of their desk.”

go south

The path south is blocked by lack of DM preparation trees.

slip between the trees

These are really packed in there. Roll dexterity.

Needed a 25, sorry.

“Anyway, Kevin - the kid your fiancé is pregnant with is mine, so it’s fine. We’re cool, right Kevin?”

Anything you do on USPS also goes to Google.

Opening a PO Box in person should avoid this issue.

What a fucking moron.

They really don’t realize how much admiring AI is revealing their own general professional uselessness.

Edit: People who don’t regret the things AI lacks - are signaling that they don’t have it, and don’t have access to it in their professional networks. To begin with, that’s sad. But when they post publicly about it, they’re revealing that they aren’t even aware of what they’re not bringing to their teams.
