And we still have to play the guessing game where we try to estimate the number that the government already knows, but won’t divulge to us, like some sort of fucked up psychological game.

This shit is so fucked. I’m awaiting the collapse.

What’s the middle kid’s shirt? That’s the only one I’m drawing a blank on.

Turns out billionaires are just dumb un-evolved adults with high schooler-level brains and tons of money.

I look back now and remember how rewarding it was when that DivX file finally finished. “Hell yeah, movie time!”

This is clever. Thanks for sharing! I’ve been kinda doing this manually using Cursor. I put it into “Ask” mode and it walks me through bits. If it’s coding work that I prefer doing (I’m a frontend guy but can do backend), I write the code myself. That way I’m still retaining the knowledge like you’re doing.

Capitalism gets so fucking lazy in its final, desperate form.

“The gram”

It’s amazing to me how so many supposed capitalists (the folks that should be at the forefront of smart investing), are throwing money straight into the fiery pit that is AI. It’s like watching an arms race between Fallout corporations.

20 years in the tech field for me, if you count my start as a graphic artist. I don’t even know what I’d pivot to. Cyber security maybe…?

I feel like my life is writing prompts to AI now. If you don’t fall in line, you’re basically out of a job. A human can’t keep up. If the goal was to completely ruin my desire to write code, they’ve succeeded.

Nobody wants that, but unless you’re a bootlicker, you’re not going to let thugs barge into your home. I know I won’t, but I’m also going to do everything in my power to not let them in to begin with. Shooting intruders is the last resort. They’re no different than home invaders in my eyes.

I can’t tell if this is in support of AI art, or if the corporate-biased AI is the one making that translated statement.

Either way, AI art is dog shit.

Fuck all seeing as they live like 9,500 miles away from the US.

They’ll gain my respect when they stop mindlessly doing the bidding of fascists (so probably never).

He won’t touch the wee

Until Maduro is free

✊

Okay, let’s say he stole the election just for the sake of an exercise. There are a metric fuckton of regime change examples where the US meddled with the elections of other countries for their own gain. Is Venezuela now the magical example where the US government did it simply out of the goodness of their hearts? Or is this just a convenient scenario where Maduro needed to go and the US just happened to be the ones to do it and that’s somehow totally cool? I mean, fuck the approval of Congress, international law, etc. amirite?

Venezuela’s issues and elections are for Venezuelans to decide, not parasitic imperialist scum. The mental gymnastics to support this one are on an Olympic level of stupid.

What the actual fuck lmao.

So she’s going to raise a brilliant mind that ends up having zero empathy or emotional intelligence? That’s going to be a miserable life for everyone involved.

“I got fired for no reason! I was a top performer!”

It’s because you’re an asshole that got along with no one at work. My dad was also a top performer but had empathy and compassion. He left a high-paying field because of miserable assholes with no emotional intelligence.

I worked somewhere that had a principal engineer that stuck around for years at a job. Everyone I talked to disliked them. Every single person. They were abrasive, argumentative, and not receptive to anyone’s ideas. There were even examples where they took credit for the work of others. The only reason they were kept around was because they had the ear of the CTO. When they finally left, everyone was publicly happy about their departure and we got to start undoing their shitty decisions.

Often times it’s simply who you know, not what you know.

That first one might actually be it. There’s an old motion light on that side of the house that I still need to change out. Good call.
