@serge Eve Barlow is one of my all time favorite people since October 7. 👁️

Yeah your "emotionally intelligent" "best developer since sliced bread" AI just provided cooking instructions that, if I had followed them, would have resulted in burning my cinnamon rolls. Good thing I'm tired of the hype after we've had three years of being lied to and our work stolen and LLM developers refusing to respect any sort of boundary when we tell you not to scrape our web servers and having to manually clean up damn near every bit of code the vaunted LLMs generate. If LLM startup founders don't like the backlash because they're no longer the darlings of tech they can quit earning it any time.

It's one thing to call this useful, it's quite another to declare them any sort of intelligent. These are software, not humans, and we are nowhere near machines or their software achieving human intelligence. Drink the kool-aid all you like, but extraordinary claims like "my code is 40x faster" or your hogwash about emotional intelligence require an incredible amount of evidence, not just wild assertions worthy of a 2007-era SEO carnival barker. Go somewhere else with this crap.

@boogiechild Happy birthday!

I meant the bit about the Steelers letting you down. The rest, though, is not good, and sending good vibes. Apologies if I wasn't clear about that.

I giggled.

Actually this isn't just a bummer. I continue to be pissed. It's like, this bar is so low at this point that it fits into most sidewalk cracks, and significant chunks of non-Jews, to say nothing of the fediverse, still can't clear it.

Yes, it is definitely a bummer. For a whole bunch of reasons.

I'm not disappointed, but only because you can only be disappointed if you expected something different. And at this point I do not.

<sarc> But but but I was repeatedly told that it was just about Israel! What do you mean the goalposts have moved again? </sarc>
