People have already died to AI. It’s cute when the AI tells you to put glue on your pizza or asks you to leave your wife, it’s not so cute when architects and doctors use it

Bad information can be deadly. And if you rely too hard on AI, your cognitive abilities drop. It’s a simple mental shortcut that works on almost everything

It’s only been like 18 months, and already it’s become very apparent a lot of people can’t be trusted with it. Blame and punish those people all you want, it’ll just keep happening. Humans love their mental shortcuts

Realistically, I think we should just make it illegal to have customer facing LLMs as a service. You want an AI? Set it up yourself. It’s not hard, but realizing it’s just a file on your computer would do a lot to demystify it

We do this all the time. I’m certified for a whole bunch of heavy machinery, if I were worse people would’ve died

And even then, I’ve nearly killed someone. I haven’t, but on a couple occasions I’ve come way too close

It’s good that I went through training. Sometimes, it’s better to restrict who is able to use powerful tools

Okay, that’s pretty fair. You seem to understand the tool properly

I’d argue that version control is not the correct layer to evaluate output, but it is a tool that can be used in many different ways…I don’t think that’s a great workflow, but I can conceive situations where that’s viable enough

If I were handing out authorizations to use AI, you’d get it

That sounds like copium… But I’ll hear you out. What if VC? It better not be version control

The difference is people aren’t being responsible with AI

You’re projecting competence onto others. You speak like you’re using AI responsibly

I use AI when it makes things easier. All the time. I bet you do too. Many people are using AI without a steady hand, without the intellectual strength to use it properly in a controlled manner

And you don’t understand what being effective means.

You’re why we’re fucked.

It’s perception. Like I said, hide the praxis. It must not be perceivable

Hell, discard it even. It’s more important to focus on immediate material issues than loudly dream about a better world

Praxis is not useful in this day and age, it’s a liability. If it’s your driving force, learn to pretend it’s not

Yeah… I’m using the word very intentionally

Praxis is academic. It scares people. We must hide the fact our arguments are driven by ideology and focus on the material conditions and how they can be immediately improved

We need to stop with the praxis. It’s a playbook written in another era, further warped by decades of midwits and sabotage

And it just scares off the masses. No one is going to read your pamphlet unless they already mostly agree with you, in which case why are you talking to them?

Every successful political movement is evangelical

They taste great to most Americans, the sugar is mostly in there to cover up low quality ingredients

This is the fucker who put us on the worst timeline! Get their ass!

That’s a download button, an up arrow on the disk is an upload

The save icon is too established to be changed. It can be simplified and become a glyph no one understands the meaning of, but it’s cemented

No one reads the bill anyways… Especially not the people voting on it

Most bills are insane enough even without history tracking

It’s very hit or miss. Couples are like a ying yang - they have to fit together

There’s no one size fits all solution. You have to work out who is the pursuer and who is the pursued, and you have to keep it all in bounds where everyone is content with the process

I can’t find the original posts… Search engines are unusable these days

But the one that stood out to me was when he was saying his preferred wars to fight in would be ones like the Philippines or Afghanistan, so that he could get the rush of combat without the danger of actual opposition

Most of the posts people are freaking out about are ignorant shit I have no problem looking past… Casual bigotry is something you can grow out of easily with experience

But the dude has a thing with violence and war I find more concerning… But he does seem like a principled progressive, so I think it’s worth giving him a shot

I think it was more of a crazy story tattoo than a Nazi tattoo to him

This guy was listing wars he’d like to fight in, because they were against civilians. This guy does not see the world in a normal way set all

But hey, his positions are on point. I’m not going out on a limb for him, but maybe chud-coded progressives are a viable strategy

I feel like a lot of people are finally understanding what the cloud is because of this

Having read through these replies, I’m leaning towards your thoughts on this. It does exactly what I thought it did, and I’m just not seeing the upside

I think I’m going to just push more strictly following feature branches

I get that theoretically… But does it like, just work automagically?

Like, I’m the git guru on my team, and we’re about to start a new project larger than what we’ve done before. My teammates are old school and don’t get git

Is frequent rebasing something I should push for? A clean history is nice, but I’ve just won them over on feature branches… Is this something quick and easy that would improve our quality of life?

How does a rebase play out? I know what it is conceptually, but usually just do the difficult merges myself
