But it's specifically cartoon supervillain shit. It's not even a Bond villain, those are way too serious in comparison.
“President and CEO of the World” who wants your eyeballs for his menacing orbs.
Unsatirisable, supervillain shit. Mr. Incredible should kick his ass.
has a plan to profit
You say "plan" but I think what you really mean is that Satya crossed his fingers and hoped for the best
MS is doing the laughing as every company scrambles to adopt AI purely out of fear of being left behind
Hey man, as someone who literally worked at MSFT in Azure Identity a year ago, let me assure you, this is exactly what MSFT is also doing while their devs scratch their heads in bewilderment on how on earth they're going to incorporate genAI into the auth token service.
but they must be making money off X if they’re doing this.
is such a laughable, ridiculous thing to say, like what the fuck dude, where did you get this idea from even
The what in the what now?
What a terrible day to tech.
There's no way this works, right? It's like a 5y.o.'s idea of a gotcha.
This would be like starting a tax-exempt charity to gather up a large amount in donations and then switching to a for-profit before spending it on any charitable work and running away with the money.
the second is characteristically christian and associated with dignity culture.
homeless people bear the imago dei. they are not intrinsic moral superiors but their plight is a shame to us because it denudes them of the dignity that should be theirs by right of their humanity.
Lol yes, that's exactly the way mainstream Christians view homelessness, their lack of Work Ethic :tm: is a "shame to us". Lmao even.
Christian charitable organisations are so well-known for their ethos of inherent human dignity.
Jesus GNU Christ, Live your life so that no one ever produces a systematic classification of your opinions that looks like this
I am so cynical at this point I am fully bought into the idea that these chowderheads don't even interact with reality, just with the PowerPoint and Jira-driven shadows on the wall.
founder mode (derogatory)
Turns out software engineering cannot be easily solved with a ~~small shell script~~ large language model.
The author of the article appears to be a genuine ML engineer, although some of his takes aged like fine milk. He seems to be shilling Google a bit too much for my taste. However, the sneer content is good nonetheless.
First off, the "Devin solves a task on Upwork" demo is 1. cherry picked, 2. not even correctly solved.
Second, and this is the absolutely fantastic golden nugget here, to show off its "bug solving capability" it creates its own nonsensical bugs and then reverses them. It's the ideal corporate worker, able to appear busy by creating useless work for itself out of thin air.
It also takes over 6 hours to perform this task, which would be reasonable for an experienced software engineer, but an experienced software engineer's workflow doesn't include burning a small nuclear explosion worth of energy while coding and then not actually solving the task. We don't drink that much coffee.
The next demo is a bait-and-switch again. In this case I think the author of the article fails to sneer quite as much as it's worthy -- the task the AI solves is writing test cases for finding the Least Common Multiple modulo a number. Come on, that task is fucking trivial, all those tests are oneliners! It's famously much easier to verify modulo arithmetic than it is to actually compute it. And it takes the AI an hour to do it!
It is a bit refreshing though that it didn't turn out DEVIN is just Dinesh, Eesha, Vikram, Ishani, and Niranjan working for $2/h from a slum in India.
The thing with IVF is that it's already incredibly weirdly eugenicist.
Like, read some of the parameters they'd screen you for if you wanted to donate sperm. You get bonus points for having a PhD? I'm sorry? You're looking for a better-educated sperm?
And when you apply for IVF and choose a donor you get their education and job. "I want my cum to be a pilot!" The fuck.
