Always has been. It never made sense to layoff people because of AI, when there’s too much work to do, and you can always use the increased productivity to get more work done.

Speak for yourself. I hate going back to old local Pis or servers I haven’t updated in years and realize that I’m 2+ releases behind and the one I’m on is already end-of-life.

Article? This is some d00dz random blog. And even then, we don’t know if it’s a real human or not.

Okay, maybe it’s a real human. No bot would produce a midia kit like this.

Did the Trump administration get some bad Intel?

This is assuming a good faith argument that Trump actually gives a shit about public money. And frankly, even saying “good faith” and “Trump” in the same sentence already makes me sick.

It’s not his money. Trump does not give a shit if the money is wasted. He only cares about propping up this AI bubble for as long as he can, to keep his own stocks afloat.

Psycho Pass?

Nemo has been my favorite part of the OS. Even for other distros, it’s worth installing that as the default file manager.

The only systems to have level 4 are taxis that only operate in limited areas, on limited, known routes, and they are well known for being very easily confused and blocking emergency vehicles.

Even then, they have overrides for human operators when they fuck up. Driverless cars, my ass.

That’s okay. We’ll take a stand to vote in a bunch of Democrats, have a majority in the House and Senate, get blocked on presidential veto powers and filibusters, and the public will just blame Democrats for not changing things. Because they are too fucking stupid to understand basic federal government processes that you learn in elementary school.

And then two years later, they’ll betray their own country again and vote GOP.

Even when voting doesn’t take much effort, the apathetic dipshit public can’t even be bothered to stay motivated for more than one election cycle. Meanwhile, a bunch of old ass boomer conservatives are clocking in at the polls every fucking year.

They are too scared to name their own bosses.

If Starlink wasn’t run by a fascist supremacist corporate dickhead, they’d offer their plan for fucking free, to show their support towards Ukraine. That was the whole fucking point. This was going on right when the US and Europe were offering military and weapons aid.

Instead, Elon Musk took one look at Rule of Acquisition #34 and ran with it. He used it as a PR stunt, and took it away to ask for more money.

You called them “murder drones”, like you disapproved of Ukraine using drone warfare in their fight to defend themselves. That’s tankie behavior.

Of course it’s an unpopular opinion among the vehemently anti-AI crowd over here, but you can get a pretty good headstart with LLMs, local ones even.

The thing is that you don’t just take what is given and immediately send it back as a shitty PR. Code review it, figure out what works and what doesn’t, have a test plan, have unit tests, stand up a sandbox and look at the frontend results, use a second agent for a blind code review, etc.

Hell, if you aren’t spending at least the first several hours asking questions and crafting a complete design plan, you’re not doing it right.

Tankie much?

I predict a lot of H100 GPUs are going to crop up super cheap on Ebay pretty soon.

Yeah, and with the state of cybersecurity, we can regularly experience the beginning of that movie Upgrade!

Are you sure?

DeepSeek, rewrite this .claude.json file.

Got Linux and Deluged running on a Raspberry Pi myself.

If I could pick a company that has fucked up more than Microsoft or EA, it would be IBM. For the past 20 years, the whole company has been on a wild bender of buying good products, and shoving them headfirst into the ground.
