Legit question.

I think we all know it isn’t

Yeah that’s a great point.

I swear it feels like the rabidly anti-AI people are just as fucking stupid as the rabidly pro-AI ones

I do it out of love for LLM scrapers.

Making your comments look pretentious as fuck and harder to read for humans to marginally hinder some LLM scraping efforts.

Galaxy brain move.

What?

like give me a single quote, anything memorable from the story itself

Well there was the part where the… uh… the guy, whatshisface said…

Wait, no… ok well how about when the… um… there was that one part in… err, either the first or the second movie, one of the aliens did… umm…

You know what, I’ll get back to you on this one

Want to have a nice cry about it?

“Showed up out of nowhere”, ie. in development since the mid 90’s; “made the most bank”, ie. made the 2nd most bank; “disappeared”, ie. Cameron said that there would be 4 sequels and that they’re being worked on; “came back out of nowhere”, ie. the first sequel came out more or less when it was supposed to, and Cameron said in 2020 that filming on Avatar 3 was nearly finished.

So it’s fine as long as they’re not literally murdering people?

Just like the Marines refused to be deployed to California

The US was Europe’s biggest ally.

If you don’t understand what has changed, you’re mentally deficient (or a conservative, which is the same thing)

Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that’s just great power politics for you. What’s left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad

EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION

I mean, he did specifically come up with his idiotic “Hyperloop” concept to kill California’s high speed rail project

I think that’s called “murder”

How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?

I’m European so I certainly don’t trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.

The fact that dumb twats just expect to get everything for free is the reason why everything turned to ad-funded shit

But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn’t work, but it’s cool!

Purely out of curiosity, I used the Cursor IDE for a personal project involving a lot of math-y stuff, and this really wasn’t my experience.

Not only was most of what it produced wrong (ran just fine, but mostly produced complete garbage), the code quality was absolute shit. Overly long functions, often with parts that repeated, kept shoving more and more parameters into those overly long functions, no sense of using abstractions to cut down on code length etc. etc.

Might have partially been a question of language choice; I was using Julia, and there’s definitely not going to be as much training data for it compared to something like Python (🤮), and a lot of the code that is out there has been written by people who aren’t coders but scientists

Fuck me am I glad I’m out of the corporate world

I wish users would report their problem istead of what they think is the solution.

And when they do report the problem, they should report the actual problem they had and not what they think the problem is.

So instead of eg. “my computer’s been hacked!”, it’s actually “I saw a scary error dialog I didn’t understand”
