New comment by oracleclyde in "Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work"

Maybe at one time, but it absolutely understands images now. In VSCode Copilot, I am working on a python app that generates mesh files that are imported in a blender project. I can take a screenshot of what the mesh file looks like and ask Claude code questions about the object, in context of a Blender file. It even built a test script that would generate the mesh and import it into the Blender project, and render a screenshot. It built me a vscode Task to automate the entire workflow and then compare image to a mock image. I found its understanding of the images almost spooky.

As an employee and engineer, it is still your job to produce and validate working code. AI makes its easier, faster, but that still doesn't absolve you of the responsibility. At the end of the day, humans are responsible for what ships. If your code breaks the product because AI went nutz and inserted a Guacamole recipe in a library, then that's on us for not catching it.

I work at a security focused company, top in the entire industry, and blaming AI is not allowed. We use AI, even integrated inside our product, but we aren't ignorant. AI can and will write bad and broken code.

I concur. I too, am on the shots, and after stabilizing my sugars and blood pressure, my chronic migraines have all but disappeared. My migraines have been with me since I was a child, but uncontrolled diabetes and blood pressure were definitely a trigger for mine.

New comment by oracleclyde in "I automated our first-round hiring process with AI (30 days → 3 days)"

I am totally against this. Sorry, but back in the day when Myers-Brigg was all the rage, companies did the same thing, using it as a pre-screening tool, which the authors at the time explicitly said shouldn't be done.

Using AI to evaluate someone's background and resume are fine, but it should NEVER be used to make decisions a HUMAN should be doing. Sorry, this isn't controversial for me, even though I am an AI advocate and engineer.

You most likely shafted many qualified candidates in your first round. I hope the people you hire don't regret working for you.

I do. Natalie Wood died during the filming under...mysterious circumstances.

I hope I'm not the only one to see the clam shell and immediately think:

I just tried it inside Gemini with a Medium article. Here's my prompt: "Read the article at this url and provide a hero image that incapsulates the message the author wants to convey: https://bioneers.org/supreme-oligarchy-billionaires-supreme-..."

The response was a summary of the article that was pretty good, along with an image that dagnabbit, read the assignment.

New comment by oracleclyde in "I've seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI"

This thread is informative but boy, is that title Click-Baity. It isn't until the 7th post that he bothers to mention this:

"To be clear: as far as we know, AI doesn't cause psychosis. It UNMASKS it using whatever story your brain already knows."

Guess which part of the thread gets the headline. Also, this directly contradicts the opening line where he says "...losing touch with reality because of AI".

Which is it? I REALLY can't wait till commentariats move past AI.

New comment by oracleclyde in "India: It's Worse Than You Think"

Well, it IS a cross post from American Renaissance, a white supremacist publication.

Wait. This is a reprint from American Renaissance, the white supremacist publication. This is why it feels icky and just plain wrong.

Do you usually allows white supremacy masquerading as intellectualism?
