> ChatGPT-3.5 has a lot of weaknesses, but it can still do a better job of coding than a few of my coworkers demonstrated over the last 20 years. Whenever people say stuff like this I can't he…
comment
Wouldn't the ones in the West with presumably stronger copyright laws be in a better position, since the trillion dollar megacorporations using their works have to actually pay them, whereas in p…
comment
A child isn't a computer program, and no amount of anthropomorphizing will ever make them so. Especially ChatGPT and other LLMs, they're not even close to being AGI or an "intelligent…

> In your experience, has this led to more careful hiring? I've never been at the helm for hiring decisions so couldn't tell you too much about the process itself, but we have a concept o…
comment
At least in the Netherlands it's extremely difficult to fire someone (which is a good thing). Unless they do something straight up illegal or are proven to be extremely incompetent, the only way …
comment
> And they would slowly dwindle and die as their revenue streams dried up Presumably they wouldn't just do literally nothing in this new Copyrightless world, I imagine with their trillions o…
comment
Maybe if we lived in a world that never had copyright law to begin with, but we don't. We live in a world where trillion dollar entities like Microsoft & Disney exist. Even if you abolished t…

> It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. I definitely massively butchered it, but I think the general gist is still there :D
comment
I do like the defensiveness from the Tweet author when someone brought up one of his own pending patent, as if it weren't the same exact thing. I also find it interesting that it seems to be larg…
comment
There's lots and lots of OSS licenses out there, some more lenient than others. I personally know quite a few OSS devs that don't care if individuals and small shops use their stuff in whate…
comment
His education and his upbringing definitely weren't free, they were paid for by his parent's taxes, and he is now repaying society by paying taxes himself (I mean, presumably, obviously if h…
comment
Always great to see people point out Weird Al, cause he's the shining beacon of an example of what OpenAI et al. should be doing. He explicitly gets permission from the original authors before …

Does Chrome? Can't say I notice too much of a difference here on my macbook, other than slight color choices and paddings and whatever the 2 UIs are basically indistinguishable to me
comment
I love seeing all the AI sycophants squirm at this news. Here's to hoping NYT wins this one and gets everything they ask for, and more!
comment
> It's like if a video game company or a movie company only attempted to sue illegal downloaders who had a certain net worth. I mean yeah, no one's gonna bother trying to squeeze money ou…
comment
> No it's not, it's pure greed. And Altman (Mr. Worldcoin) and fucking Microsoft are what, some gracious angels building chatbots for the betterment of humanity? How is them stealing as…
comment
Yeah the whole thing with Zucc's trial highlighted this perfectly for me, a bunch of clueless old dolts who have no fucking idea how anything in the modern age works. I'm eagerly awaiting th…
comment
Do people ever get tired of this argument that relies on anthropomorphizing these AI black boxes? A computer isn't a human, and we already have laws that have a different effect depending on if i…
comment
Amusing to see someone referring to anyone other than the megacorp controlled by fucking micro$oft hoovering as much data as they can, legally and otherwise, as a parasite.
comment
Anecdotal but I know lots of creatives (and by creatives I also include some devs) who've stopped publishing anything publicly because of various AI companies just stealing everything they can ge…
comment
I don't think anyone would be against breaking up M$ a bit. Why wouldn't you want some proper M$ Office alternatives? Xbox is a bit trickier presumably because of PC gaming and Sony/Nin…
comment
Had no idea it was OSS! Regardless, I have 0 regrets paying for the game, absolutely amazing one.
comment
All that means is that he used his phone and another android device (the fire stick) + the TV as a monitor, to access whatever remote machine he has via SSH, not exactly rocket science And that's…
comment
As a Serb, I wouldn't really describe Serbia as being unaligned/centrist. The corrupt politicians (I wouldn't dare call them people) in the gov't itself eat from the laps of Russia…
comment
The only thing the psychopathic C-suite gives a shit about is making the largest sum of money possible. They don't care if customers hate chatbots or if they fire hundreds of people simultaneousl…
comment
Pair programming is one of those things you hear about so often, but I've never worked somewhere where it was actually done. Most devs, myself definitely included, don't wanna sit there with…
comment
On the other hand I have no interest in socializing with my colleagues, and I'm no intravert either. I have plenty of actual friends outside of work, and the nice thing about working from home is…
comment
Tailwind is great for simple stuff though, you just stick the classes in your html and don't have to worry about thinking up class names or organizing CSS files
comment
I always find talking about Ruby fascinating, because it's so divisive and for good reason. It's one of those things where you either love it or hate it. The first moment I saw a question ma…
comment
Lol ChatGPT is the biggest boost for scammers out there, and what's gonna happen in the future when the only thing these LLMs train on is other AI-spewed crap?
