Probably have to consider time in the cost too. The ability to iterate more rapidly not only increase output but also expands the pool into people who might not have had the time to try.

I would think you could look to other areas where a paradigm shift in one area coincided with creative endeavors. In recent years things like arduino, rapsberry pi, 3d printers, etc.

the infrasound garbage is an early warning sign

I also do it to avoid clicking on email links just in case I missed a phish. Same with potential typos or misremembered domains. Of course you still have to evaluate the result, but it’s still a strong signal.

I wonder if voice searches show up in that stat because I absolutely use my google home to check that and the temperature while I’m getting ready.

nobody cares that loud accounts don’t like AI, they care that people are lying about in ways that misinform other people

as capabilities very obviously grow, this has a very strong tendency towards conspiracism and the kind of siege mentality that serves no one well

There are some absolute lunatics on this site.

The algorithm really wants me to rewatch Eureka.

When you run swear you typed `--dry-run` but it hits you with:

Success: Made 21927 replacements.

One of those days where it takes three tries to hit the light switch on the way out of the room for no reason.

hank green hasn't changed, he's just applying the same essential curiosity he always has and reached tentative and nuanced conclusions which your social circle has deemed verboten to even consider

I wish clothing sites that want to be creative with color names would describe them a little in the description in terms of actual colors.

That's why I loved this scene. youtu.be/rThIEf5Isso?...

Have been going back and relearning all the math I failed at when I was younger. It's amazing how big of a difference simply being aware of the problem makes.

Had to run outside and have a staredown with one of the local cats who was hunting our baby bunnies. Not on my watch hairball.

Thinking about this more, what frustrates me so much is that it’s been three years and these tools have been available to basically anyone who wants to understand and use them. Regardless of the letters used to spell the tool, why would anyone expect not to have to adapt and keep up?

autist in the 1800s who spends half of his time telling people that trains might be a good thing on net in spite of rockefeller

It's not about not being chosen for a job, it's about the institutional friction many had relied on to maintain a status quo.

It's not that AI is necessarily replacing lots of people across the board. It's that it's removing the organizational friction so many depended on for leverage the last fifteen years. There's a difference in not hiring a human, and just not hiring you.

Something that annoys me about a lot of the "hire a human" talk, particularly when it comes to coding, is that there are still humans involved, just not the right ones according to them.

It assumed my wife was my sister earlier today and then was like lol oopsie.

Was trying to decide if it's more satisfying to block people here or over on X. Over there it's basically just whack-a-mole. Here though it's like shutting the door on a pushy salesman or self righteous preacher. I'm leaning towards here.

New York's proposed 2026-2027 budget includes provisions that will require all 3D printers sold in the state to run print-blocking censorware—software that surveils every print for forbidden designs. This stifles free expression and privacy. New Yorkers, take action at EFF.org/3DPrintNY.

It's the same tactic of the reactionary right: perpetual performative outrage, complete refusal to accept something as anything more than contemptible trash

From the bottom of my heart: I'm not giving up hope again. I will not put my love for science and tech down to get with the in-group. fuck you

Contra Benn Jordan, data center (and all) sub-audible infrasound issues are fake One of the most popular videos made about data centers ever is a complete moment-by-moment disaster

Folks, infrasound issues are fake. This was truly an insane experience to write and I hope you enjoy blog.andymasley.com/p/contra-ben...

Do you know what's wrong with it?

From the time my wife told me the dryer stopped working to Amazon getting the part delivered and me installing it was only about four hours.

Curious to see how this site reacts if aliens turn out to be real.
