  • The idea of LLMs putting coders out of work at a large scale seems inherently self-defeating.

    The LLMs needed to ingest a massive volume of code to get to their current level of proficiency. What will happen if they put all the coders out of work and Stack Overflow is down to just a small number of hobbyists? Will the LLMs just stop advancing?

    I'm sure Sam Altman would say they are just about to have reasoning capabilities that will allow them to improve. But Sam Altman is not credible.

  • OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power

  • I agree on the double standard. I also think there's an element of Cory Doctorow's point that "it's not a crime of we do it with an app."

    Running an unlicensed taxi service or hotel business? No no we're not criminals, we're disrupting stagnant markets!

  • Elon Musk calls for impeachment of judge after DOGE legal blows

    Jump

  • Have we reached the point where we don't even bother to make up a fake crime or improper behavior the official is supposed to have committed that justifies their impeachment?

    He should just be impeached because he ruled against Musk doing what he wants? I guess I appreciate the honesty.

  • 'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without Palestinians

    Jump

  • A man like Trump only gets more unhinged as tie goes by and his increasingly insane behavior goes unchecked. We utterly failed to stop him in the US. Having completely conquered America he is now setting his sights on the World. If he knew history I wouldn't be surprised to hear him comparing himself to Alexander the Great.

    His past aversion to military adventures in the Middle East was literally the only thing I appreciated about him, but now that's gone by the wayside.

    Buckle up, world... Don't underestimate him.

  • Donald Trump Jr. gripes about 'Danish fake news' as he flees Greenland after less than day

    Jump

  • I have been watching Conan Without Borders and just coincidentally watched a 2019 episode where he goes to Greenland to arrange for its sale to the US. This was from the last time Trump was making noise about wanting Greenland during his first term.

    It was pretty funny. Needless to say the people of Greenland were less than jazzed about the prospect of joining the US.

  • The funny thing is AI is not really mentioned in the rest of the article. I don't think any of the new technology being introduced has anything to do with AI.

    I guess "AI" is just a synonym for "new stuff" now.

  • Meta employees say internal posts on support for Palestinians have been 'censored,' in an open letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg

  • I think you're mixing two different things here. Discussions about unions, working conditions, workplace policies, fairness, etc. have a direct bearing on the workplace and the people in it. Yes, these things are political but they also directly impact the workplace and the people in the organization. I think these topics are all fine.

    That's different from Pam in HR reminding you that she Stands With Israel when you work in a company that has no connection at all to Israel, weapons manufacturing, etc. Or maybe they want to harass you for your own views or trade in conspiracy theories. Their co-workers are a captive audience for these rants because they have to deal with these people to do their jobs.

    To me it's not about loving capitalism, it's about not wanting yet one more sphere of life to be a stage for performative displays of tribal affiliation.
