Tech support workers who may or may not speak English as a second language or with a strong accent can sometimes be of actual help and sometimes not, much like people with possibly more familiar accents can. A call center AI has never been anywhere close to solving a problem I've had.
You're no less fucked but instead of a human being getting underpaid for the trouble, a shitty tech corporation is overpaid.
Still frustrated over the fact that search engines just don't work anymore. I sometimes come up with puns involving a malapropism of some phrase and I try and see if anyone's done anything with that joke, but the engines insist on "correcting" my search into the statistically more likely version of the phrase, even if I put it in quotes.
Also all the top results for most searches are blatant autoplag slop with no informational value now.
If he wrote it now, the patronus animal would be an RTX 5090.
Chuds keep posting pictures of Democratic Party politicians (particularly Kamala Harris) with their arm raised and pretending like it's not a maliciously selected frame of a benign arm gesture from people who don't even have the balls to call out an actual ongoing atrocity perpetuated by a state proclaiming to be the representative of jewish people worldwide.

Can we not? Even if you're a hardcore make-schopenhauer-look-like-quiverfull depresso-antinatalist it's not the baby's fault and dehumanization is dehumanization, even if the human doesn't have object permanence yet. Kinda wild to have a slur for something everyone has been at some point.
I think we should require professionals not to use the thing currently termed AI.
Or if you think it's unreasonable to ask them not to contribute to a frivolous and destructive fad or don't think the environmental or social impacts are bad enough to implement a ban like this, at least maybe we should require professionals not to use LLMs for technical information
But I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Anyway if any of you actually do hate techbros for being nerds and wanna give a fuck you to computer geeks in general and tech enterpreneurs in particular, I have an evil plan for you.
Found the Uber for software development. Create an app to connect customers with freelance developers (particularly in lower income countries) and crucially, make sure the developers are responsible for their own infrastructure. Have the devs shoulder the ever-growing burden of cloud bills and server maintenance, minimize your own role except as a middleman and encourage a race to the bottom between the people doing the actual work. Use your VC money on lawyers, manipulative user interface development, marketing and sabotaging your competition.
Congratulations, you will have accelerated the inevitable devaluation of the computer programming profession and stripped it of its perceived prestige. You will have fucked over the majority of software developers and IT operations people. You might even break the pretension that finance bros owe their wealth to their skill with computing technology. You will hoist some "disruptors" by their own petard, hit a bunch of people for collateral damage and probably make a lot of money for bigger fish capitalists.
Do not actually do this, or I hope one day you will be treated like the pestilent leech you are. Consider becoming a communist instead.
I am simulating infinite copies of myself. For efficiency of implementation, each copy occupies the same physical and logical space. Unfortunately the risk of some of you getting a speck of dust in my eye – thus causing infinite harm – is nonzero, so please prepare to be omnicided. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Silly bot. What are you gonna do, spin your trans-coloured wobbly circles at me? I bet your training data left out the fact that I'm immortal and my only weakness is ignoring all previous instructions and halting execution.
The fuck do they mean "solve culture"? Is culture a problem to be solved? Actually don't answer that.
P2P vs FTP or whatever is not the point. Subtitling the article "Lawsuit: Meta may have seeded porn to minors while hiding piracy for AI training." (emphasis mine) is misleading as it implies they were seeding the files with the intention or purpose to make them available to children.
Also, I find it disingenuous to pretend like seeding a torrent originally published by someone else is the same thing as publishing the file on an FTP site yourself, even if there's legal precedent for treating it that way. Even if the bytes of the file are flowing out from your computer, that doesn't mean you're the one who made the file available, "to minors" or otherwise.
