Grift tech that claims to do awful shit that ruins everyone's lives, but really just makes Stanford grads sit around pretending to invent something while funneling VC money directly in their bloodstreams.

You'd think these would overflow the evil scale and end up back into being ethical but really they're just doing the same thing as the non-vaporware evil companies with just some extra steps.

Thanks, Google. You know, I used to be pretty good at getting consistent, useful results from your search engine, but the improvements you've made to it since the make me feel like I really might need a fucking prompt engineering course to find things on the internet these days. By which I mean something that'll help you promptly engineer the internet back into a form where search engines work correctly.

It's open source trust me I wrote that ELF file directly with C-x M-c M-butterfly.

Here ya go boss, a 80% prototype solution.

/* TODO: support other element types */
unsigned int * maxsumsubarr(unsigned int arr[], size_t len, size_t * sublen) {
        *sublen = len;
        return arr;
}

God knows I like a good DSL, but "complexity over drudgery" just sounds miserable. I also wonder what kind of stuff they're coding that's supposedly trivial enough to be generated by AI.

[–] bitofhope@awful.systems 5 points 2 months ago

Fair enough. Sorry for being rude about it.

Yes, that just reiterates my point, doesn't it?

OpenAI considered building everything in-house and raising capital for an expensive plan to build a network of factories known as "foundries" for chip manufacturing.

Oh man, that's a delicious understatement. If the allegations are true, this was a plan that would make the military-industrial complex envious.

I somewhat assumed so based on the usual corporate ghoul definition of "successful". That's why I included currency as something without which artists have managed to make a living since its invention. That particular example may be arguable, but being a successful artist is not and will not be predicated entirely on how fast one can crank out "content". How many movies do the wealthiest directors put out per year?
