I have a full repo that mirrors any actual code I have, just so I can practice the very git operations with dummy files before doing it on a real codebase. It has come in handy many many times already and I highly recommend it.

Too many Big Macs

We cannot tackle anything at all until we tackle the huge immediate 1000 lb gorilla sprinting right at us. Once that’s taken care of, then we can resume pushing for everything else.

No, this will not amount to anything. Howard Lutnick is a chief architect for every bad thing happening now. Him, Stephen Miller, and Russ Vought (and JD “Just Dance” Vance) are the primary driving forces behind this authoritarian takeover. They have to go.

I guarantee it had at least 25% of AI generated code. These shitty right wing grifts are all the same. They’re just executing the perfect Russian influence campaigns to further split the country apart, and Putin couldn’t be happier.

I know it may seem that way if you’re constantly online these days, but in general most people are just people. Like 80% are mostly good, but human, and may have some minor issues. Probably 10% are Jesus-level good, then 10% are sociopathically evil.

Now, if by society you mean “American capitalism”, then yes that favors assholes who care less about their fellow humans. This flavor of capitalism is inherently selfish and greedy, so those who succeed in it are the most greedy and bad people. Yes people care, but the forces preventing anyone from changing it are the strongest in the history of human civilization with technology too now, that makes it borderline impossible to change the underlying system. Only a major catastrophe caused by capitalism where millions of Americans died would cause the general populace to question the system, but honestly even then who fucking knows.

Never say never :)

This regime needs to face justice, also everyone should know the names of the Dirty Dozen who caused all of this.

No it’s not. We’ve seen headlines for 10 years saying this or that group are starting to sour on Trump, and yet here we are.

I don’t think this is even the big effect we’ll be seeing from AI. think that’ll occur over the next 12-24 months, as LLM operationalization occurs and matures the implementations.

I can’t fully support that, but I’ll just add that it would sound better to say “the whole character set of Super Smash Bros”

The rise of fascism in the mid-1920s to late 1930s was a direct response by the ruling capitalists to the ascent of real, populist/socialist/communist changes that actually threatened their power and wealth for the first time in history. It happened all over the world (well at least Europe), and it totally makes sense what we’re seeing now all over the world.
