“I reported this to the campus police but they said nothing could be done because he didn’t touch me or explicitly threaten violence”

That sounds like assault which doesn’t require contact.

"In the terminology of law, an assault is the act of causing physical harm or unwanted physical contact to another person,…

…, assault is a criminal act in which a person intentionally causes fear of physical harm or offensive contact to another person"

@macroplastic

Tech manifestos are so cringe.

@rook

I figure two things will happen:

a) In a year or two companies will realize that LLMs aren’t going to improve enough, and that they need skilled people because AI has turned their software into a shit show, and start hiring desperately.

or

b) In a year or two LLMs will get good enough for code that the software developed is just good enough despite the deskilling effects, and companies can get by with drastically reduced staff.

Keeper should sell their customer lists to other dating services so those services can keep those weirdos out.

Oops I had Carl Bergstrom and Carl Zimmer mixed up.

@blakestacey

As a guy who writes for the Times Carl’s probably going to get a smack on the wrist for using spicy language in criticism of a Times article.

“But could you not build a thing instead, that does the behaviour directly?”

Back in the day NeXT’s Interface Builder let you connect up and configure “live” UI objects, and then freeze-dry them to a file, which would be rehydrated at runtime to recreate those objects (or copies of them if you needed more.)

Apple kept this for a while but doesn’t really do it anymore. There were complications with version control, etc.

In college I took an AI class and it was just a lisp class. I was disappointed. Also the instructor often had white foam in the corners of his mouth, so I dropped it.

Larry Ellison has or had a working MiG.

I assume they’re thinking about transcontinental flights most of all. Dubai->LA or whatever.

To paraphrase Garth Marenghi, “I know writers who use tropes and they’re all cowards”

The concern is that they’re not “lost in the wilderness” but rather are going to turn up in the vicinity of some newly dead people.

Don’t forget he made a prototype of a gaming helmet with shotgun shells aimed to kill the wearer.

Promptfondlers are trying mightily to slopify FOSS whether it likes it or not.

@bitofhope

Pretty sure space datacenters are also going to be even more disposable.

@bitofhope

The place for space data centers is in manned space stations to support the work being done there.

@burble @techtakes

Why not submerge them in a river for far less money.

Microsoft had an underwater datacenter-in-a-container test a while back.

“You pretty much have to do a lot of work to avoid creating a small reactor, if a truckload of fresh fuel falls into a river.”

Don’t give them any ideas.
