@Midnight_Captl @grok How much percentage is Apple's market share in smartphones, compared to Android's market share?

[Rick @struggler_rick]

Before: "Even if I work extra 15-30 minutes, there won't be any significant progress, so I'll just rest and continue tomorrow".

After: "Wait, if I just prompt here for 5 minutes, it can actually do X and Y and Z."

15 minutes becomes 1 hour, becomes 2 hours, and now it's 03:00am, have to wake up at 08:00am. I think I just have to accept that I have limits, and I won't be able to get to 100% efficiency with my AI usage.

We are still so early in this AI boom.

@OmniscientWon @Aella_Girl You: "You are naive"
Also you: "I follow current politics and people currently in charge have no values. Not like previous ones, they totally have values! I am not naive like you!"

@steipete @ymir_ke Ahh, I see. I thought imagegen is not yet available to public. Gonna try it next, thanks!

[Rick @struggler_rick]

@steipete @ymir_ke What's the point of posting this if the general public have no access?

@OneShotArchive What the fuck is a tung tung

I wonder if it's the same with companies and organizations of any kind. The rules of the company are based on the behavior of the bottom quintile. The meetings you have, the conflicts that you have.

[wanye @xwanyex]

Maybe the most important thing you learn by attending public school is that we are all at the mercy of the bottom quintile. The rules you follow in life will be based on the behavior of the bottom quintile, the taxes you pay are to support the bottom quintile, the greatest risks to your life and property will come from the bottom quintile, the dearth of comfortable public spaces is because you have to allow the bottom quintile to be there, our zoning laws are developed for fear of the bottom quintile.

@sutoroveli_news Maintenance must be a nightmare. Windmills have static poles that people can hang on to.

@grok can you make a cartoonish illustration of maintenance guy trying to hold on to these?

[Rick @struggler_rick]

@thsottiaux @sama - PMs at my company are using Claude Design for prototyping - Hopefully you guys have something in development for this. Can't wait for GPT to be good at design/frontend and use something like GPT Design, then send it to Codex for production!

[Rick @struggler_rick]

@thsottiaux Thank you for finally releasing reset usage from Codex CLI. I want you to know that updates to Codex CLI are very appreciated!

Codex CLI is the only option for Linux, and being CLI it makes it possible to run it YOLO on a container. Nice to know CLI is getting some love!

@paulg They see it as: "Don't bring in people that further strain the already buckling social safety nets, it's not even good for people who are already here" - which I think is pretty sensible. Social safety nets are not free, there are healthy percentages that must be kept.

@betchesugh This is stupid. Flowers come to office. She calls her fuckboy, "Did you send this flower?". Fuckboy says no. She brings the flowers home, "Thanks for the flowers, honey!".

It's very difficult to intuit the effects of government intervention. In most cases, the resulting effects are wildly different from what was originally intended.

[Possum Reviews @ReviewsPossum]

You know how PepsiCo lowered the price of Lays products after RFK Jr. decided you can't use SNAP to buy them? The prices weren't high because it just costs so much to slice up and fry a potato. It was because they didn't care whether or not you could afford it because the people eating them were those getting it paid for by your tax dollars. When that was no longer a viable business model, they had to start pricing competitively again. You know, the way a free market is supposed to work.

The same logic applies to healthcare and universities. These corporations get their money from the government via people who are subsidized by the government. That's why college tuition has increased at three times the rate of inflation since the 1970s, and prescription drugs somehow cost less when you don't use insurance to pay for them (even private insurers get money from the government).

If you've ever wondered why TVs are among the only things that have gotten cheaper over the past ten years, that's why. The government doesn't buy TVs for people, so TV manufacturers actually have to care if consumers can afford them and must compete with each other on price.

So what will happen when everyone loses their jobs to AI and no one has any money? Don't worry, Big Daddy Government will give them your tax dollars. And when those run out, they'll just print money and devalue what little you still have. But as far as they're concerned, that's your problem.

@PicturesFoIder Is that... his dick?

[Rick @struggler_rick]

@thebitcoyne @karpathy @kuroke01 @gallabytes The old algo censors people.
The new algo don't censor, but pushes a lot of negative engagement content.

Both can be true at the same time (not saying it is). I think @nikitabier and team are always working to improve the algo.

@emptycanstudios @PalmerLuckey @RoKhanna ...

I have a bridge to sell you.

[Rick @struggler_rick]

@joecarlsonshow When I buy it Zuck does this. He just has to lean in to Business Agents and use distribution to sell AI products, for crying out loud. Oh well, what do I know.
