@KaderAriz The concept of freedom of speech -- that people have the right to express their opinion as they wish, including making heretical statements and acts -- must be deeply disturbing and difficult to grasp for authoritarian leaders of authoritarian states.

@Geoxion Take a look at the economic concept called the Tragedy of the commons.

lol imagine designing an enormous public destination so that it’s illegal and dangerous to walk to

@agileklzkittens @agileschools I don't see this an opposing view. It's a sign the org (i.e. bigger team) is not collaborating.

Let's have ChatGPT manage that Kubernetes cluster instead.

Asking GPT4 to generate prompts for DALL-E? Yeah, sure, why not?

[Jackson Greathouse Fall @JazzFall]

I asked it to come up with a prompt for Dall-E to make our logo.

As a branding designer, it's taking everything in me not to tell it this is a BAD idea. But here we are.

I put the first prompt in, verbatim.

[anders @anderskaplan]

Oof, this one isn't pulling the punches.

Somebody said that GPT will replace search. I don't think so, because search gives you the source and not just an answer. "Citation needed", to quote Wikipedia.

[Simon Wardley @swardley]

X : Do you think it could lie?
Me : I spent 20 minutes with ChatGPT telling me something that was clearly untrue and constantly pretending the quotes it was making up about an article came from the article. Sure, ChatGPT will lie. Just like people.

Och för all del att den här domen rivs upp. Har svårt att se att den för nånting gott med sig. Den som inte vill kunna bli hittad i registren kan ju låta bli att äga bolag.

Nu skulle man gärna se en försäkran från svenska rättsväsendet att svensk grundlag och offentlighetsprincipen fortfarande gäller.

1/20 Dear friends, I need to draw your attention to something super bad and super important (and it doesn’t originate from Russia for once). Last week the EU has taken a shockingly stupid and damaging decision to close down national corporate registers of beneficial owners 🧵🧵🧵

@JuliaDavisNews May the angry young man look back at this moment in a few years' time and be very, very ashamed.

[anders @anderskaplan]

@JuliaDavisNews Either these guys have no idea what the words they are using mean, or the English translation is totally backwards. But unfortunately I don't think either of those possibilities is correct. More likely: massive bullshit propaganda.

@firstdrafthell Good times!

[anders @anderskaplan]

@firstdrafthell Seems straightforward. Could consider naming them SplitRows and SplitColumns (plural) instead, or even SplitIntoX, to remove some ambiguity. Qml parallel: I always struggle to remember if a RowLayout lays out on a single row, or as a sequence of rows. 🤷‍♂️

Every single Oracle dev forum post: Somebody asks for help on something non-obvious. Response is that you're doing it wrong, other databases may work differently but they are not really proper dbs anyway. The Oracle way is always right.

[anders @anderskaplan]

Not very much, apparently. As expected.
