I mean there was that whole bit where they were recruiting for personal assistants using that argument.

Not gonna lie, literally never heard of Dimes Square anywhere but this forum, which I count as a sign that however small my social circles and media bubble may be they are at least more decent than some.

"I need more electrons" I say as I shuffle my feet on the carpet until my hair turns into a halo. I will take them by force.

From the replies:

Love how confident everyone is "correcting" you. Chatgpt is literally my son's therapist, of course cutting edge AI can empathize with a guy getting kicked in the balls lmao

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

I'm pretty sure that Atlas Shrugged is actually just cursed and nobody has ever finished it. John Galt's speech gets two pages longer whenever you finish one.

And I think the challenge with engaging with Rand as a fiction author is that, put bluntly, she is bad at writing fiction. The characters and their world don't make any sense outside of the allegorical role they play in her moral and political philosophy, which means you're not so much reading a good story with thought behind it as much as it's a philosophical treatise that happens in the form of dialogue. It's a story in the same way that Plato's Republic is a story, but the Republic can actually benefit from understanding the context of the different speakers at least as a historical text.

So maybe I'm just showing my lack of actual dev experience here, but isn't "making code modifications algorithmically at scale" kind of definitionally the opposite of good software engineering? Like, I'll grant that stuff is complicated but if you're making the same or similar changes at some massive scale doesn't that suggest that you could save time, energy and mental effort by deduplicating somewhere?

This doesn't really feel performative enough for that crowd, though. Like, if it included some kind of horribly racist engraving or even just a company logo then maybe, but I don't think anyone's gonna trigger the libs by just playing their metal not-gameboy.

It's interesting to see how many ways they can find to try and brand "LLMs are fundamentally unreliable" as a security vulnerability. Like, they're not entirely wrong, but it's also not something that fits into the normal framework around software security. You almost need to treat the LLM as though it were an actual person not because it's anywhere near capable of that but because the way it fits into the broader system is as close as IT has yet come to a direct in-place replacement for a human doing the task. Like, the fundamental "vulnerability" here is that everyone who designs and approves these implementations acts like LLMs are simultaneously as capable and independent as an actual person but also have the mechanical reliability and consistency of a normal computer program, when in practice they are neither of those things.

Also, when less than a fifth of your salespeople are making their targets you need to take a very long look at what that fifth is doing, because with a product like this they have to be lying about something that's going to give Legal headaches down the line.

Can I just take a moment to appreciate Merriam-Webster for coming in clutch with the confirmation that we're not misunderstanding the "6-7" meme that the kids have been throwing around?

Yeah. If I wanted to perfectly reproduce the original series in a different time and location I would use a machine rather than trying to get my local theater troupe to do it, I guess. Therefore AI completely and blatantly fucking up a totally different task isn't a monumental waste of time and energy?

Jesus. This being 2025 of course he had to clarify that it's definitely not DEI. Also it really grinds me gears to see hyperfocus listed as one of the "beneficial" aspects because there's no way it's not exploitative. Hey, so you know how sometimes you get so caught up in a project you forget to eat? Just so you know, you could starve on the clock. For me.
