like, any piece of writing that has its cost of production reduced to zero by LLMs probably never had much value to begin with
AI bad and all, but if the widespread availability of tools like ChatGPT and etc helps to unstick from our culture the whole charade of bullshit and bad writing to project an image of competence and seriousness, I’m not complaining

GPT, regardless of its value as science, is the latest way to extract value from a community's existence and bonds and function and labor and intelligence and skills and talent, and give it to people who are neither in nor of that community.

The thing about engaging in the delicious pilpul of the intelligence conundrum -- oh I feel it, I feel it, I'm an AI dork from way back -- is that it is an excellent distraction from seeing the extractive capitalism that has made and continues to make our lives -- our *privileged* lives -- bereft of meaning.
Oh, oh, let's debate Turing & Searle & Hofstadter & Minsky! Let's be angry, let's be slow, let's be open, let's be, let's be, let's be . . .
let's be not seeing the forest for the trees.

This article, ostensibly a printer recommendation, is actuality a perfect expression of the zeitgeist.

you can always tell if someone's queer just by asking them whether MGMT make happy or sad music

I argue we (#curl) should NOT pay docker. Not give in to extortion. This might mean that someone else soon suddenly will register our name and can serve whatever image they want there. 5 *billion* pulls indicate there's a user or two that might fall victim for this.
That's on docker, not us.
ok so a bank is kind of like the linux kernel memory allocator
computers and digital information systems once had so much promise
but then we fucked it 🙃
I am absolutely loving having a laser printer at home now. It's so good. I'm printing so much stuff and it's genuinely good for my brain and personal organisation
can’t believe how many places out there are charging $17 for a bloody pint these days
Made a USB-C to 12v barrel jack cable with a lil PD trigger board I got for a couple bucks off eBay!!
Works great with the 30,000 mAh (150 Wh) USB battery I also got off eBay for like 45 bucks. I love how the cheapest available batteries of this capacity class are just consumer USB batteries

Can’t wait til this catches on and every profile edit page has a reminder that people want me dead

taking a brief moment to crush on Susan Kare.
as NeXT employee #10, she invented many GUI elements and iconographies that we take for granted today.
and she invented Monaco, one of my favorite fonts, alongside Chicago, San Francisco, and Geneva.
oh yeah, and Clarus the Dogcow.
At an old job we once had a serious outage because mysqld ended up with the same pid as what was in some stale pid file on disk. All that old sysv shit was so creaky and only ever worked by accident. To claim it was ever more reliable than what we have now is to take a very rose-tinted view of history.
Yeah man I’m just gonna read a number from this pid file I got here and fling a signal at it. Totally legit. Can’t go wrong. No I didn’t check how old the pid file is, what do you mean
one poster is claiming that sysv init was 100% reliable and I'm like bro did we even use the same linux
