  • Depending on what it is you're trying to make, it can actually be helpful as one of many components to help get your feet wet. The same way modding games can be a path to learning a lot by fiddling with something that's complete, getting suggestions from an LLM that's been trained on a bunch of relevant tutorials can give you enough context to get started. It will definitely hallucinate, and figuring out when it's full of shit is part of the exercise.

    It's like mid-way between rote following tutorials, modding, and asking for help in support channels. It isn't as rigid as the available tutorials, and though it's prone to hallucination and not as knowledgeable as support channel regulars, it's also a lot more patient in many cases and doesn't have its own life that it needs to go live.

    Decent learning tool if you're ready to check what it's doing step by step, look for inefficiencies and mistakes, and not blindly believe everything it says. Just copying and pasting while learning nothing and assuming it'll work, though? That's not going to go well at all.

  • Heyyy, it's chanology style anonymous. Nice.

  • I'm pretty sure people thought Trump would be good at economics literally just because of the Apprentice. Manny more people in the US watch reality TV than have any real understanding of politics. Look at all the Trump voters who literally seemed to have no idea he would do any of the things he very loudly said he was going to do. They just remember him being the boss guy who was supposedly good at business from that one show they watched about business.

  • In what world does it take two people to "make" a piece of malformed AI schlock?

  • So he's going to do the same thing he did to his fanboys to the government? Oh good. Can we impeach this guy yet?

  • These two are what we need. Good on them.

  • Microbes hate this crazy new immune system trick! Never get sick again!

  • Lot of spam about a browser developed by someone who sees using anything other than masculine pronouns in documentation as excessively political.

  • Definitely won't be using ladybird then. If someone hates trans folks and just women in general enough that they literally see using inclusive language to refer to theoretical users as politics I don't see any reason to do anything to elevate their work.

  • Can you elaborate on that?

  • It is illegal. If this is something you're worried about happening in your local area, I'd recommend making a fuss about it. If you can find evidence of specific people doing this, collect it and make sure the law is enforced. If you know a local library is being targeted, get them to take steps to minimize the risk of it happening. Things like making sure any large trash bins are readily visible to librarians or developing policies about just glancing in the trash every now and then to see if books have been thrown away might be helpful.

    You can also probably help by keeping an eye out for books that may be targeted. If there are books you think might be subject to these sorts of actions, you could make a list of them and drop by to check on them every now and then. See if they're on the shelves. If they're not on the shelves, ask if they've been checked out. If they're missing from the shelves and also haven't been checked out, consider looking around to see if you can find them hidden away somewhere or buying a replacement to donate.

    It probably isn't simple to enforce this and to protect books from being removed from the shelves sneakily, because somebody has to put the work in. But if you care enough to do so, there's no reason that person can't be you.

  • I don't. I hope they get derailed and don't have enough time to do nearly so much damage. I hope 10 years from now it's an embarrassing mistake that comes as a wake-up call to people and prompts them to grow.

    Why would you want to see shit get as bad as it possibly could? Just to dunk on some random people? To be right? The hell's the point?

    The instinct toward feeling superior being more important than having a decent world and a stable country is the reason we're in this mess to begin with.

  • Another attack on trans women by people who almost certainly don't know the names of even a half dozen non-olympian women who are professional athletes or a single trans athlete.

  • Honestly, isn't it one of the more well known instances?

  • The biggest problem with AirBNB is that it eats up what otherwise would be an apartment during a housing crisis that it helped create. This doesn't seem to help with that.

    What we need are regulations to stop people from turning apartments into motels.

  • Everyone knows in real life your shoes come apart every 15 minutes and if you don't eat every 20 minutes you'll immediately die.

  • Literally installed Flash 8 today because it's the comfiest way to animate for me.

  • No to any consilodation. Trying to force people to a particular instance is about the most anti-fediverse move there is. If that's what you want, go make a subreddit.

  • The title gore of these headlines is a bit silly. I get that Amnesty International uses colons in its headlines, but burying the fact that it's Amnesty International saying these things just makes it look like the group they're talking about is the one saying it.
