I won't share it because I'm sure it leaves much to be desired (and you can recreate it in 2 minutes), but it makes me wonder how much room there is for rugpulls like this when people can just replace the tech with something that doesn't have adrot.

And working in marketing--that is what eventually made me rabidly anti-advertising. :)

Edit: I don't eat at Pizza Hut any more either, having worked for them from 1990-91. I was cured!

Mass piracy will continue full steam ahead at current rates.

Most of these sites allow you to read on a computer screen and those can be captured and OCR'd. And if they don't allow that, you can take a photo of your device and OCR that. And if you can't do that, you can manually type in the book. There's always a way, and it will always happen to any books that publishers are making any kind of profit on.

I used Claude a lot for planning my current fun project. Good rubber duck. It liked all the suggestions I pitched for the design, but I only went with the last one after discarding the others.

The others were all fine and would have worked, but they weren't the best that I found.

Back to the point, if we're getting average guidance from the AI and we're just offloading our thinking process at that level, then I could sure see it panning out like TFA says.

Since then I've become anti-ad and haven't had any for years. I am sorry for my embarrassing lapse in judgment. :)

    You can tune a file system, but you cannot tune a fish.

No need to get out the chisel to carve those intricate designs in your chair back. We can just get that made by pressing "1". Sorry, those of you who took pride in chiseling.

I'm definitely in the latter group. I can and do use AI to build things, but it's pretty dull for me.

I've spent hours and hours putting together a TUI window system by hand recently (on my own time) that Claude could have made in minutes. I rewrote it a number of times, learning new things each time. There's a dual goal there: learn things and make a thing.

Times change, certainly. Glad to be in semi-retirement where I still get to hand carve software.

The police know the false positive rate and they'll stop wasting their time and rely on their training and instincts, instead.

There's an implication of automation bias here, too. "It came back blue, so I can just make an arrest knowing that the blue bag told me I should. Not my fault if it's wrong."

Pushing farther, if the law said that if there was a false positive, the arresting officer would have to spend one day in jail per day the suspect was jailed, no cop would ever dare use this test. That demonstrates the amount of trust they actually have in it.

And, arguably, still useful to all.

Sounds like this pays nothing.

Are we all to be in charge of billion dollar companies with no employees? Just sitting around thinking?

I have an alternate future in mind where that happens to a relatively few people and then the guillotines come out.
