  1. We're gonna be outsourcing DOGE operations to Russia, aren't we?
  2. You can probably find someone around here to set it on fire for you.
  3. Oh, look, more wrestling promos from our government.
  4. Holy shit, he’s like more than 50% human. I didn’t know such politicians existed.
  5. Are the family members legal immigrants? Or are they US citizens? If they aren’t citizens but are here legally, I don’t have a problem with revoking their legal status and deporting them back to their country of origin in the case of a family member engaged in terrorism w/harm. Being a legal immigrant means you and your family are guests here. You aren’t a US citizen and you shouldn’t expect all such rights. If I invite a family of four into my house and the dad drops his pants and shit’s on the rug, I’m gonna kick them all out. Does that make me the asshole for not wanting to break bread with the rest of them anymore? If the family are US citizens, then it’s a different story entirely.
  6. I’ve already got a pick, thanks.
  7. This AI generated video was made in 8 hours by one dude using today's AI tools. Made to reflect Orson Welle's 1938 "War of the World's" radio broadcast with a large dose of cynical humor at the state of today's world.
  8. A good article that is echoing what I am seeing and hearing about in the tech industry and what has been discussed here. https://www.reuters.com/business/ai-vibe-coding-startups-burst-onto-scene-with-sky-high-valuations-2025-06-03/ The money quote as far as recent discussions and impacts on tech companies and their workers.
  9. Now this is a party platform I can get behind.
  10. I saw it today, I'd say I was slightly disappointed. I don't regret seeing it, but I'd read this thread and heard way too much about how fucking awesome it was for it to live up to my expectations going in, I think. It was beautifully set and shot, the musical aspects were fantastic, the acting was very good to great -- but overall the movie felt less than the sum of its parts to me.
  11. Mind if I send you a pm with some questions?
  12. Were doing that now, specific agents for different company roles with essentially a sandbox of data and tools that the LLM can use in response to prompts. I’m looking at LM studio and local-only models for personal use, but I haven’t liked the results as much as ChatGPT.
  13. @956 Worldwide start asking it what it knows about you, especially about what it might have inferred of you through your conversations vs what you might have explicitly stated or revealed. Ask it to guess things about you based on your conversations, things like age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, political ideology.
  14. It just now occurs to me, no one has ever seen Elon Musk and @NowThis in the same room together...
  15. ...to pursue professional success on the corner where Capital of Texas Highway intersects with the 183 feeder road?
  16. Yes. Gen AI is a Mr Wonderful doll for directors and executives.
  17. > Anyway. The point is, Amodei is a salesman, and it’s in his interest to make his product appear inevitable and so powerful it’s scary. Axios framed Amodei’s economic prediction as a “white-collar bloodbath.” And Allison Morrow is a writer at CNN who needs eyes and clicks and shares. So given they are both salesmen of sorts, I'll have to rely on direct experience. This isn't in the distant future in my industry, it's happening now. I can see it with my own eyes at my company, I hear about it in the experience of my peers at other companies. I'll have to trust that direct observed evidence over the musing of a media analyst.
  18. I’m an engineer, I enjoy taking complex problems, coming up with an elegant solution, and delivering it to production in an act of creativity. That process is what I derive my job enjoyment from. I can see a day in a not too distant future where my job description would be better described as AI quality assurance tester. Where I am mostly translating requirements to effective prompts and validating the results. I am not going to like that job very much. There are others I know who are primarily product engineers, who really are only motivated by the champagne pop and mic drop moment when they get to present the culmination of their work. They take no pleasure in the day to day aspect of how they got there. They are ecstatic about AI.
  19. This is exactly right, if the problem is complex but deterministic, AI will do it well.
  20. This isn't really political, but as for living in the US in the future, I'm trying to prepare my kids to be agile. To not expect a 40 year career in a single industry. They might need 8 five year careers. I'm also steering them away from my field (computer science) as there are about to be a glut of workers for a contracting number of jobs that likely won't be returning, and generally educating them in how to recognize fields that will be similarly impacted by AI-augmented productivity.
