There are plans to create a 9-foot-tall version in bronze in the works

Oh good, that’ll make a beautiful visual as well pull that piece of shit down!

pre 9/11 sweet spot

There’s a line in Fight Club about how Jack’s generation has no great war, out no way to prove themselves. It really is a great example of how things felt pre-9/11.

I am Jack’s overwhelming sense of buyer’s remorse.

This is the perfect reply to someone with a 6 charisma.

Because with Google Translate he would be sending privileged company information to Google. With our LLM it all stays in-house. And he does typically write his replies in his broken English and the LLM fixes it to make it more readable, which helps him improve his written English skills.

I have a coworker who didn’t learn English until his mid-20s, and it was his 3rd language. He’s very hard to understand and is functionally illiterate in English, which is unfortunate because most of our job is done through email or chat. Sometime will send him an email or chat with a request and he will respond with “Call you” and then immediately call them. They hate it because they have a hard time understanding him, and they never get anything in writing from him.

I suggested that he start using a company provided LLM to take what he wants to write and have it rewrite it for him (or he can write in it one of the other languages he knows better and have it translated). He’s started doing this and his performance at work has completely turned around. He is a shining example for how an LLM can be properly used.

Then, there’s the VPs in the company who send out emails that have been obviously completely written by an LLM. And they brag about asking an LLM for ideas on how to handle certain situations, or the direction that the department needs to head in. They have outsourced their brains and think it was a brilliant move. They are the ones who deserve scorn.

“A man”

This person has destroyed public property. Whether or not he pays, his name should be made public. People who know him should know what kind of person he is. His employer should know who they have hired. His employer’s customers should know who they are dealing with.

This is not normal behavior. This person is a sociopath and society needs to know who he is.

Any IT person working that hard these days is doing it wrong. Unless of course you mean those who work from home, then, yeah.

Red is first dibs on old equipment.

I have to say that the Mulan movie was pretty great, it just shouldn’t have been marketed as a ‘live action remake’ but instead just another version.

Onward, Soul and Frozen II were also solid. Onward and Soul being released in covid and dealing with death/missing loved ones, was difficult though.

It’s amazing how all of this investigation relied on various data leaks from several sources in order to connect all of the dots. Just another reminder that there is no such thing as privacy any longer. You have to put in a LOT of work if you want to be anonymous online, and even then there’s no guarantees.

To be clear, this is comment should in no way be seen as defending this piece of shit.

This is why it is so important to keep a clean living/work space. Had Pluto just cleaned out its area this planet would be the much cooler named ‘Planet X’, with ‘X’ serving double duty as ‘10’ and ‘mysterious’.

The output is only as good as the model being used. If you want to write code then use a model designed for code. Over the weekend I wrote an Android app to be able to connect my phone to my Ollama instance from off my network. I’ve never done any coding beyond scripts, and the AI walked me through setting up the IDE and a git repository before we even got started on the code. 3 hours after I had the idea I had the app installed and working on my phone.

It’s not just Americans who are fucked, it’s basically anything that breathes.

21 And the Lord beheld Jerusalem, and lo, the cries of the oppressed pierced the heavens-the stranger scorned, the widow plundered, and justice trampled underfoot. 22 Then the Lord spake: "Ye have sown violence; ye shall reap desolation sevenfold. As ye have measured to the poor, so shall it be meted unto you, and My fury shall wax hot as a furnace. 23 And He summoned pillars of fire to devour the towers of pride, and a nation afar, whose swords were hewn as scythes, to break the gates thereof; for the Lord delivered the city into their hand

Never surrender!

It doesn’t really work to compare a human with a fae, does it?

Mr Socko would be unfairly punished.
