Oh my fucking god I know that video

this is the entire pitch of genAI, this is beat for beat a perfect analysis 4 years before all of this bullshit actually happened

Has someone tried generating a train running at the camera and seeing if one of the AI bros dies of a heart attack?

Okay but this is about alkaline water so it’s garbage even without the genAI imagery.

It’s even by Wu et al., come on, low hanging fruit

These are people I know in person, not online

Okay, yeah, that sucks then :/

I haven’t had such an earnest, full-belly laugh in a while, thank you for this. 10/10, I wouldn’t have written a better sketch if I tried.

am i missing something?

Yes.

Which is terrible since scraping is an extremely important tool for normal people. Like, if YouTube gets good at blocking scraping there will be literally no way to watch their videos anymore.

standardise staff members’ smiles

Completely normal and chill thing to want

But do they have a scheduled weekly email with a list of tests that are known to be broken and allowed to fail in CI that then has to be manually checked against the test run report before merging? LIKE MICROSOFT DOES FOR AT LEAST ONE MISSION CRITICAL SERVICE I WORKED ON?

Ye that’s why I’m asking, cause even RationalWiki doesn’t have a chapter on abuse or anything.

I’d expect the current interest rates make it a less viable strategy.

Also, money is fake but I’d expect there’s a limit to just how many billions you can burn before you can’t get away with it.

Kinda checks out? 2022 is around the time it became clear the admin was clueless about what makes SO actually a valuable research, and then genAI was the perfect spark to go full rot.

It’s on one side with Bitcoin and Ethereum, even if you didn’t know about Brave before, seeing it there would immediatelly throw it into the bin compartment of your brain.

Microsoft is to blame for allowing these fucktards kernel-level access.

This is a backwards take.

The only way to have actual security is for the entire kernel to be completely open source. Microsoft is too blame for not giving everyone kernel-level access.

and they’re absolutely terrified of making any changes that might mildly inconvenience enterprise customers

Correction, they don’t think about such changes at all. There are no other concerns than those of big-paying customers, and even then you need a bunch of big enterprise customers request something for the thing to even end up being considered for the backlog.

This is a unique situation because absolutely everyone involved deserves to go bankrupt and disappear into the darkness.

You have a closed-source OS that causes a vast swath of our infrastructure vulnerable to MSFT’s whims and incompetence, and built on top a closed-source AV market that allows the infra to be extremely vulnerable in a second, unrelated way, plus the cross-product of them both since AV gets so tightly integrated to the kernel.

Until we can force MSFT to open-source Windows with a small military invasion of Redmond or some shit, maybe at least this will make people think twice before they install "anti"malware from an equally untransparent corpo straight into mission-critical infrastructure like a horny teenager putting his raw dog into a coconut.

the main downside (if you consider it such) is that it would instantly obliterate the commercial malware blocker industry.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

lulz, ofc, all the extremists study at Harvard or some shit?

If more than one system devs launch into a Lovecraftian stream of epithets about how incomprehensiblly horrific it is when you ask them about their work then there just may be some truth in it.

Absolutely stellar writing, except for this one weird bit

Database people are systems people. Modern databases have their own memory management, thread scheduler, and a fucking compiler inside. A promising research direction is to just bundle the database with your own bloody kernel that you handwrote with a box of scraps to make the entire thing less cursed and not have to wrestle with Linux.

You know, just in case you were looking for people to include in your postapo gang, database experts will also murder whatever you want with bare hands.

But Ready Player One had thiiis!

Come on bro, let’s build the Torment Nexus alreadyy
