Lol. When I retire, I’m going to change all my job titles on social media to “entrepreneur” just to fuck with my friends.

Yes. I love the confidently incorrect additional comments explaining in detail how the incorrect code works.

Though I’m usually pretty angry at that point, it is also pretty funny.

Yes, that’s the joke.

AI creates almost (but not) good enough stuff really fast. And occasionally straight up hallucinates stuff that is meaningless or worse.

So this person has a huge stack of functional but broken crap, and it’s blaming X for their woes.

There’s an old saying that goes roughly “It takes four times the experience to maintain a program as it took to write it. So anyone writing the most clever program they can think of is, by definition, not competent to maintain it.”

In this case, it’s extra funny, because neither the AI nor the AI user has the faintest idea how the generated code works. So maintaining it is almost certainly 1000% outside their abilities.

So they’ve paid an AI for the privilege unpleasant daily panic of learning everything they need to learn after the app has gone to production, rather than before.

Particulary relevant bit that made the rest of the topic more accessible, to me:

The researchers noted that a backlash against apps being marketed to catch cheating spouses, for example, has seen developers switch to marketing apps as parental control tools instead.

Ms Eva-Maria Maier, first author of the study from St. Pölten UAS, said: “The key issue with the extensive functionality of these unofficial apps is consent. If a parent has an open, transparent relationship with their child, they shouldn’t need to hide them on their child’s phone or have access to so much private information.

Yeah. Every farmer I’ve met was also a solid mechanic.

That’s pretty plausible. Inexperienced engineer plus overheating…good chance that adds up to a malware infection.

Yeah. Hiring inexperienced children into government isn’t fraud, by itself. But I bet it makes fraud way easier.

has Elmo only hired people who claim that they can “wrangle data” and say “yes” ?

There’s two issues going on:

1. Elmo’s sociopathic approach to laying people off is public knowledge, and top experts have the luxury of not even applying for his jobs.
2. Elmo’s ability to judge engineering talent has likely been wildly exaggerated thanks to how he has successfully bought organizations full of talented people, in the past.

I mean, you’re allowed to test it before it and iterate goes to review, though.

And reviewers can be allowed to merge stuff that’s “good enough”, and the iterate.

Jokes on him. I push bugs to production all the time anyway.

So CISA released a statement that says absolutely fucking nothing.

I would have more respect remaining for them if they had the wisdom to shut up and let Musk take credit for all the stupid.

I guess they decided together the doublespeak department is too important to cut.

If they ban smart phones, how will I teach my children to worship Satan?

I guess I might still have my D&D books somewhere around.

(This is a sarcastic reference to a judges excellent comparison. Also, I know exactly where my D&D books are. Also, I haven’t gotten to the Satan worship yet, if it is in my D&D books. Maybe I missed a rule.)

And rumor is DOGE has lousy opsec. And I suspect DOGE won’t be able to fix their opsec (after they start getting owned) because veteran engineers pay attention, and Musk seems incapable of loyalty.

This is the single worst possible time to try and push this through.

Which is why it’s happening now, I agree.

But we, the non-billionaires are still better off after any monopoly split. It’s hard to express how incredibly bad powerful monopolies are. The fact that another billionaire will be the buyer sucks, but it’s no reason to back away from forcing the legally required split.

Any alternative is better than letting monopolies stand.

Google says government proposals would “harm America’s consumers.”

Says the company that couldn’t stand by the core value “don’t be evil”.

Makes sense. I know there’s some amazing Minecraft plugins that haven’t been ported to Luanti, yet - and vice-versa.

Of course, I’m happy to be on an open solution with Luanti.

But I might run one of these Rust Minecraft engines for a weekend to revisit an interesting plugin sometime, if they reach full stable mod support.

Hmmm. I would be excited for these, except I already bit the bullet and switched to Luanti.

Now that I’m spoiled by an insanely fast server, I do totally understand the desire to have a Rust Minecraft server.

These are all accurate, except the first Waterfall one, who also doesn’t go to Mars.

A haiku for you:

Tabs or four spaces

Never a semicolon
