I fully expect this to become a move to hamper linux, or any non-windows desktop usage, because “we can’t trust a user who has full access to their OS” or some other bullshit.

Was it a magic trick all along?

“All my successes are thanks to my superior intellect and skill! All my failures are the fault of bad serfs who didn’t follow my vision!” - Every billionaire

When you think about it, it’s not too different from how some people treat the current crop of AI, so it makes sense that they’re so hypnotized by the promises.

My dad showed me the opening paragraph of Don Quixote, from a (Brazilian) 1950s edition he got, which is apparently one of the better translations. It felt like I was trying to decipher some arcane scroll

Time to pirate FR to play on my phone just as a tiny middle finger to nintendo, who can’t do shit against me in Brazil 🇧🇷 🖕

Oh, let me also play more Palworld, who’s having to fight bullshit patents

Last time I had a load balancing error with my nginx configuration, I did the following steps to fix it all:

1. ssh into the machine
2. alias fixit=rm -rf /var/www
3. alias restartnginx=rm -rf /etc
4. alias balance=rm -rf /usr
5. sudo fixit
6. sudo restartnginx
7. sudo balance
8. ls -lah

It’s been up and running nonstop for over 3 years now.

Gotta love how the blog is nothing but “We’re awesome, data leaks cannot happen with our architecture”. Something about advertising too much is making up for lack of actual skill or something

Saw this today. It’s amazing how these ai companies and the feds don’t even bother hiding anymore

Gambling with make believe money and lots of economy and trading “experts” telling you where to “invest” in

“What if we took Club Penguin but made it easy for pedos to communicate with children?” - David Baszucki, probably

Who do you think spends money on roblox? Kids? Fuck no, it’s the pedos and their totally “E for everyone” games experiences and cosmetics

“Monkey form”? Now that’s new. The idea of the entire validation being the same page that renders the form is interesting, I might try that with some pages

Because it doesn’t always work with recent news and, as shown by dubyakay, it’s not meant to bypass paywalls

People don’t know what choosing a server entails, because it does matter and a lot of people aren’t exactly helpful when they say “just pick any” or “it’s like email”

Server choice matters because:

1. Server might federate with a limited number of other servers;
2. Server might be blacklisted by some servers which you might want to interact with;
3. Servers can be running different versions of software, so people might think about security;
4. Servers can go offline
5. Server choice can significantly impact how people perceive you. “Oh look, another tankie from ml”

So, server choice matters and people coming in from corporate shit don’t know how much they need to know to make an informed decision, thus giving up.

Too late, I’m already rewriting everything in a docker kubernetes rancher node.js container

1 echo with 100 lines of html and a bunch of "value: " . $somevar . " ;"

Yeah, I’m currently kinda afraid to put it down and come back after 1+ week for fear of having no fucking clue what the fuck I was thinking. Won’t be the first time, nor the last .

It’s kinda fun, despite some errors leaving me grunting a lot and taking my sweet time to actually fix, mostly related to PDO or SQL shenanigans. Took me over an hour to get a working select * from some_table order by ? Offset ? Limit ?; execute statement. Turns out I had to put the offset and limit variables as parts of the prepared statement’s string, otherwise they’d be stringified or something - select * from some_table order by ? Offset '.$offset.' Limit '.$limit.';

Was it worth the hassle?

The video downplays several clear instructions and limitations as if everything came from a single line command to AI, like when humans added 2 agents that would think that “taxes are too high”. An actual newsworthy video would’ve been leaving such agents without any implicit or explicit command to bother with taxes and, after some time, find out they started to play with taxes within minecraft, which is a game that does not have any sort of in game market or currency.

The video/experiment should’ve added 2 or 3 agents to the group that had no mention of taxes whatsoever and see if the others that are taxed would’ve been bothered.

The entire article is 946 characters, 146 words long. It reads like a super concise description of the 18 minute YT video embedded which blurts that “this is the first glimpse of a new species beginning to think for itself and that could soon, according to Nobel laureates and the godfathers of AI, lead to literal human extinction” before the 1 minute mark.

Handwaving this away seems like the most responsible thing to do with your own time. The first experiment on the video, Smallville, can be somewhat replicated by Dwarf Fortress, which uses zero AI - dorfs can make parties, they can make friends, enemies, have children, etc. The only real difference with this minecraft experiment is that there’s actual chat logs you can check
