@kingdavie789 @realtimsharp Just like it was over when Snowden revealed massive illegal spying operations, right? Still waiting on that payout from Booz Allen Hamilton!

Dream on, this is America. You got nothing coming to you.

@RealAndersonBen @realtimsharp Patriot Act could not exist without broad Democrat support and they have done virtually nothing to reign it in or get rid of it. They continue to reauthorize it and it still exists today, 25 years after 9/11. What did Obama do when all that illegal spying was revealed by Snowden?

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@RealAndersonBen @realtimsharp Patriot Act was passed by 211 democrat congressional members
(145 in House, 66 in Senate). This included Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Dick Durbin, & Rahm Ehmanuel. The Senate passed it almost unanimously (98-1)

@R__Michal @jonathan_wilke Certainly it will be nice to be able to queue multiple simple action on a device with voice like "Power on tv, open netflix, start season 2 episode 7 of [insert show]" rather than having to sit there like a monkey hitting power on, waiting, opening app, wait, looking for show...

@sarahhepola I can change tire, change battery, change brakes and rotors, replace fuses, change oil. All easy enough to learn and has saved me tens of thousands of dollars (especially learning to do brakes/rotors).

@R__Michal @jonathan_wilke For so many technical tasks, speech would be horribly inefficient and slow vs both CLI and GUI. But yes, I can see the average person w/o a technical skill set preferring to just talk for everyday tasks (see instant success & stickiness of Amazon Alexa, Siri, etc)

Bro I'm so fucking sick of pretending this is normal.

AI was trained on Stack Overflow answers written by developers who got zero dollars and zero credit, and now those same developers are losing their jobs to the thing their free labor built.
We built the rope. They just used it.

@mtracey I mean, death by firearm is the number one killed of real living-outside-the-womb children and republicans do pretty much nothing about that too.

@CryptoParadyme @grok Oh great, I only have to wait "many years or longer" 🤦‍♂️

@appsicle_ @ThePrimeagen Produce a website in 5minutes that makes you money? It will blend in with every other sloppy website done in 5minutes and have 0 SEO

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@vinrambone @ThePrimeagen All available evidence points to the use of AI generating cognitive decline. Maybe it speed you up at coding slop, but its not making you smarter it is making you worse.

@JasonBassler1 @HerbertRSim Wasn't gambling with user funds the primary issue that sent Sam Bankman-Fried to prison? Is there a single large AI company that isn't running at a massive loss to the tune of billions per year?

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@drawtwelve @undergradwoman @QasimRashid The point is not to reduce recidivism, the point is that people should have a right to know if their neighbor is a sexual predator so they can protect their families. Nothing effectively reduces recidivism except enforced chemical castration and the death penalty.

@itsme_urstruly @ggreenwald Anyone remember Totse? What a crazy site

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@mrscottiem @FinazzoLar22416 @EYakoby Go do it and see what happens then. You wont because you are fundamentally a coward and all talk. Yap yap yap.

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@mrscottiem @EYakoby No law against private citizens setting off tear gas canisters in the middle of a crowded public street? Holy shit you are dumb as a bag of rocksm

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@this_is_swati_ @aminnnn_09 I feel the same way. Took the love of the game from me.

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@HowToAI_ Good.

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@TheLaurenChen @RyLiberty How many people can get in to the Ivy League schools he feels he has to get into to not disappoint himself/parents? Its like trying to become a pro athlete or movie star. You can be incredible and still fail because there are very few spots, and lots of exceptional people trying.

[SM Irving @metric_dev]

@Prathkum I dont think most people have actually realized that yet.
