@HBrubanter@WatchesWinWars I keep hoping my gshock waveceptor solar will die to give me an excuse to buy a fancy new one but the bloody thing's indestructible. Made the mistake of replacing the rechargeable battery after 20 years or so, so the poxy thing will probably outlast me.
@AndrewOrlowski Defensive AI use is now necessary , I need AI agents to fend off all the emails from the AI agents working for people from HR, marketing etc trying to make them look productive, while I try to explain how expensive it will be to fix the crap they "vibe coded".
I'm tired boss.
@FUDdaily I agree apart from Picard Season 3, which I watched without having seen 1 or 2 and enjoyed - was great to see the TNG crew together. I think the showrunner, Terry Matalas, would have had the talent to make Star Trek: Legacy a decent show if Paramount wasn't run by morons.
@nealasher@JamesMelville Not just young people. I used to volunteer to teach some IT skills to adults with Downs. They all had a little part time job with some local shop or small business, who'd pay them for what they could do. Both parties happy, no exploitation. Until the minimum wage ended it.
@BenedictSpence I'm more of an AI critic than fan, but credit is due to ChatGPT for this description of Creasy:
'I'd coin Selbstüberschätzungsdummstolzling.
Roughly: a person whose delusional overestimation of their own abilities makes them insufferably proud of their own stupidity."
@nealasher Had it's issues, but what a king size swing they took with this and mostly pulled it off. Imagine if that sort of talent had the budget amazon have hosed at Rangz of Power...
@aDissentient I remember finding that out reading "The Hockey Stick Illusion". These days I'm still amazed at how little course correction "Big Science™" has produced compared to McIntyre.
