It’s possible your coworkers are the ones dealing with those issues, and you just never notice.

They said “perfectly”, not “90%”. You’re trying to move the goalposts.

all of your claims have so many asterisks attached that they’re essentially pointless

No they don’t, but say whatever you need to ignore me. That’s definitely what someone arguing in good faith would do.

internet access has been shown to have all the same negative effects

it’s a useful technology

Quite the opposite, actually. It causes enormous problems and has no benefits that aren’t better served by existing technologies that lack those problems.

Nobody who uses AI treats it like a tool, they treat it like an employee they can claim credit for. And most tools aren’t actively detrimental to the user to the point of proven intelligence drops, lawsuits and environmental destruction. Also, the enemy charges you money to use it.

The only person who benefits from AI is the person selling it. So why are you trying to defend it?

I would rather wear a gimp mask. Less embarrassing.

And all without a single junior dev in the open office hearing their genius. Aside from the junior dev who bought the fucking thing in the vain hope they could roleplay as a more competent employee. That junior dev can hear themself going “no, fuck, delete, how do I- no, stop typing, you stupid fucking thing”, which I assume counts as “genius”.

Hang on. They had to ship three major updates in a single morning? How the hell is their workflow so bad that they have to- Oh yeah. Vibecoding.

If you see anyone wearing this shit, remember that you can laugh at how stupid they look as much as you want, and their weak copium that it’s a “skill issue” will be swallowed by their copium mask. So you’re free to laugh until they cry.

Alternate version:

“While you’re there, pick up some bread,” she added. He never returned.

Since this is an AI metaphor, the restaurant didn’t hire a cook. They just found a cook with an easily accessible oven and stole a pizza from it.

I’m 99% certain everyone who tries thinking of loopholes to get infinite wishes wouldn’t know what to do with them.

isn’t the easiest sell in the privacy community

This is the easiest way to tell this is a bot. They don’t even know what community they’re posting their ad to.

You don’t understand why an unfunny ad on a humour community with a rule against ads is getting downvoted?

I really wanna make an orc NPC who tries to spread the word of the virtues of orcish society, all while making it clear that he does not share these virtues. “I’m sick of humans seeing the villages I burn and the tableau of corpse entrails I use to write racial slurs, and they just brush it off as ‘typical orc stuff’. No! I am an exceptionally vile orc, and I deserve recognition!”

RT*** isn’t pointing at RT*, he’s pointing at the TV showing RT**. The fact you think otherwise is what makes the image unclear. I’m not sure why you insist on them being wrong.

I think int*** is meant to be pointing at int**, but the image is just unclear about where everything is in perspective.

I will also recommend watching the bad D&D movies from the 00s. All three of them. Bonus points if you watch it with your D&D group and cracking jokes over it.

You should. Something tells me you’ll like the jokes in it.

I’d go even further! Bards are a support class. Their abilities power up their allies more than the bard themself. If we extend that to courtship, then surely a bard is a wingman, using their charisma to help their buddies get laid. The classic Cyrano de Bergerac archetype.

…I wanna play that now.

Please stop acting like bards are the horny class. This is D&D. They’re all horny classes. Might I suggest a draconic sorcerer with daddy issues?

LLMs are random. Its weighted randomness that frequently values racist outputs like whitewashing a crowd or calling black people monkies (to name two recent examples), but it is still random. That’s why you can ask it the same question twice and get two different answers.

Ever notice how AI defenders try to pretend the technology is better than it is, and brush past the countless failings and ethical failures inherent to the technology by condemning humanity? A bad toolsmith blames the worker, I guess. At a certain point, if the technology is only doing bad things, or doing things badly, it might just be bad technology.
