Cars in general are the problem and even if they all went electric they'd be bad. (But cities would be much quieter and they are hella fun to drive.)

If you're able to use a bicycle for some of your trips instead of a car, that's a good change. (And if you're not then you might not even be able to use an EV car if you could afford it. It takes way longer to charge a battery than to fill a gas tank.)

OK but I would hi-five those people. It's harder to fight capitalism if you're also fighting health problems!

Right?? It's bizarre to me that otherwise-smart-seeming people will think they can write "explain your reasoning" to the AI and it will explain its reasoning.

Yes, it will write some fluent response that reads as an explanation of its reasoning. But you may not even be talking to the same model that wrote the original text when you get the "explanation".

I asked plenty of questions on SO and never had a bad experience. But I put quite a bit of work in. You couldn't ask "how do i sort a list in JAVA" and get answers, you had to ask "here's some code I'm writing and it does but I think it should do because what's going on?" and people gave some really nice answers. (Or you could put "how do sort list java" into web search and get a fine answer to that; it's not like SO was the only place to ask low-effort questions.)

One of the bad things with AI is it's soooo helpful that when I get questions now it's like "please create a DNS entry for foo.bar.baz" and they're asking because the AI got completely stuck on something simple (like making a request to api.github.com) and wandered up and down and eventually decided on some nonsense course of action and the developer has given up on thinking about anything.

They did not edit past commits (that causes tons of problems). You can easily find the earliest commit that credits Anthropic. Example https://github.com/lutris/lutris/commit/6d5f18eb92e558ffda37781386812f1e9f1a2499

Have you tried using AI

"We live in a capitalist hellscape so why bother to struggle against it" isn't a completely unreasonable take. Too bad, though.

I donno anything about China, but whoever made this meme certainly doesn't know anything about the USA. The idea that "liberals" or anyone else (??) are high-fiving themselves over a credit score. lol

Check your Book of Revelations for interesting news about a charismatic leader who survives a terrible head-wound, marks his followers foreheads. There's also some stuff about an alliance with Israel...

I think you're correct that this is how Americans define "good businessman". But there's some missing cognition when they then decide that he should run things.

"A 'good dream' is when you're in a dream and enjoy yourself. Freddy Kruger has many good dreams. Therefore, I hope Freddy is in my dream."

The alien sport-hunter who kills people to collect their bones as trophies is not a role model!

As a developer: yes to the developer and data scientist and data engineer. Scientists and engineers should be responsible for their work.

The BI analyst: maybe, if they're responsible for collecting data that ignores the impact of the service on teens. If they're doing sales-comparisons between Anthropic and OpenAI... eh, I donno.

The janitor: probably not since I don't feel like the deaths are widely publicized and they probably work for a contracting company that handles the building.
