It’s really rough to just grab the experiences of dozens of billions of people and lump them together into two categories, separated only by the time they lived in.

It’s hard to make a more generalized and less nuanced statement.

💩

My ass isn’t broken. It works just fine.

But it’s only white space. That’s kinda racist.

Easy: give the LLM access to a pen plotter.

I have a Quest 2 and tried to get it to run wired with Steam Link. I spent about an hour or two so far, trying to get it setup, but so far it doesn’t show up on Steam Link.

From what I have read it should be possible to get it working, but apparently it’s not as easy as on Windows, where it’s really plug and play.

That said, PCVR is not a high priority for me, hence I haven’t spent a lot of effort getting it running.

The only mistake here is that the author switched the term “tools” for “extruders”. They did list four tools (FDM extruder, Pellet Extruder, Ink extruder, Heater).

This sounds to me much more like a human error than an LLM one, because the source material calls them “tools”.

In this work, three out of the four original filament extruders were swapped for a pellet extruder, an ink extruder, and a heater. The tools that make up the final configuration of the machine are:

Filament extruder (Figure 1a): one of the original E3D Hemera direct drive filament extruders of the E3D Motion System and ToolChanger was kept in place. It features an E3D 24 V 30 W heater cartridge, an E3D thermistor cartridge, and a 0.4 mm nozzle.

Pellet extruder (Figure 1b): a Mahor v4 70 W Pellet Extruder (Mahor.xyz, Spain) was incorporated to the system to enable 3D printing from pellets. A custom case was designed and 3D printed to adapt the pellet extruder to the E3D ToolChanger. The case wraps around the extruder and provides anchor points to the E3D toolhead plate and docking port, necessary to allow the pick-up and drop-off of the tool by the robotic arm.

Ink extruder (Figure 1c): a syringe pump was custom-built from scratch, combining an E3D Hemera XS stepper motor, a lead screw, a linear rail, and custom-designed, 3D-printed parts, to enable 3D printing with inks. The syringe pump is designed to be compatible with the docking system of the E3D ToolChanger and accommodates a three-milliliter syringe that can be easily swapped, enabling seamless material exchange.

Heater (Figure 1d): an E3D Hemera extruder with its nozzle and silicon insulation sock removed was installed to enable the curing of inks on the printer bed. During operation, the ink extruder and the heater can be used sequentially: first, the ink extruder prints a pattern; immediately afterward, the heater reproduces the printing trajectory of the syringe, drying the deposited ink as it hovers over it. This strategy enables the drying of ink while printing, facilitating the deposition of subsequent layers on top of the dried ink.

They don’t use metal-infused filament as a conductor but conductive ink.

I agree, but to be fair, this is not a new problem, nor is it one limited to the US.

I’m from Austria, and during the London riots (IIRC, that was in 2010 or 2011) I lived in the UK.

My parents frequently sent me news articles and snippets from TV news about things happening in the UK, and it was constant horror stories, almost apocalyptic. They claimed that all of UK was in riot and specifically also mentioned the area where I lived in.

In fact, all that I noticed of the riots was one peaceful demonstration on one afternoon and that was it.

Yeah, that’s not a job I’d be comfortable doing.

Don’t kill God. It’s not nice.

Depends on the size of your fridge.

“I wasn’t asking if you want to eat one.”

Deploy broken code straight to prod?

But the post also says

They’re disempowering themselves. Describe themselves as a victim of circumstance, powerless and without responsibility. It’s a disempowering narrative. You’re shooting yourself in the foot. In this story that we live, you are casting yourself as an npc.

And that part was what I was responding to. Because nothing in there is correct.

In which case “I can’t” is not giving up agency but instead taking agency in a way that’s harder to dispute.

When one says “I can’t” instead of “I won’t”, it’s not a “I don’t know how to” but a “I will not do that and I won’t let you talk me into doing it”.

“The little one has been awake all night, can you please take her so that I can get an hour of sleep?” - “I’m good. Thanks”

There’s a ton of precedence for this.

We have accepted that our clothes don’t fit, that our non-fitting shoes ruin our feet, that our furniture all looks the same and doesn’t fit into the spaces we have, that consulting by knowledgeable sales people was replaced by product listings that can’t even reliably tell you if a printer is monochrome or color.

Enshittification is nothing new. It’s something that has been going on for at least the last 70 years.

I mean, just compare the fabric of clothes from 20-30 years ago to new stuff. I still got some clothing from the early 2000s that holds up just fine, while the newer stuff just falls to pieces after a year or so. You can even see that in the marketing. If you look at clothes ads even of cheap brands from the 80s, they all advertise with long-lasting quality. Pretty much no brand does that anymore.

So yes, AI will just make customer support, marketing and software quality way worse and we will just accept that like we have done for the last 70 years.

I think now is a good time to get into malware AI plugins.

Infinite scroll amplifies the “I’m never going to find that again” problem. That’s the thing I hate most about it.

There’s not really anything on that account, tbh. I only ever used it a few times to talk to friends when playing minecraft.
