They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could control the cyborg cockroaches, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Ah, you’re a troll. I see. Blocked.

So all you’ve mustered is some lame-ass ad-hominem? Have a good day

So you don’t have a suggestion. Got it.

Well then, rage against the machine for the next 30 years and see if they kill it in favor of a nice, strict language that everybody loves. Maybe you could suggest one here for consideration.

It’s not that hard to understand what it is doing and why the decision was made to make it do that. JavaScript has a particular purpose and it’s mission is not consistency.

It’s not like TypeScript doesn’t exist if you just get lightheaded at the idea of learning JavaScript’s quirks and mastering using it despite them.

I can’t imagine how this poor teenager will think of his mother over time.

Not well, this much is certain.

OpenAI said it aims to “create a family of products for the AGI era”

A family of products that no one will be able to buy, sounds great Sam! 👍

It’s the expression on Mary’s face.

CDs are too small, so yeah. DVDs on the other hand? Optical disks are the only practical media that is EMP-proof. After the apocalypse, I’ll still have all my coding projects, thank you very much.

I don’t think they sound particularly like a human baby because I can’t stand the sound of a human baby crying but when my cat talks I melt into a useless gibbering idiot food dispenser.

Pardon me, I didn’t realize throwing money at stupid people was the same thing as skillful rebranding to appeal to thoughtful voters.

No seduction is involved. The masses go where the billionaire influencers direct them to go because the masses are largely stupid.

Unfortunately, due to the piss-poor human condition, Canada - and every country on Earth that allows free speech - will go whatever direction the bots run by the nations that do NOT allow free speech want them to go. Anything else is a temporary reprieve.

Boy, I sure didn’t see that coming. It’s going to be very interesting seeing where such a path ends. Uncomfortable, likely, but interesting.

And boy it sounds expensive.

Why do all these shitheads want to be my mommy and daddy as well as my employer? I bet this moron is one of those alpha MAGA types who rails against the nanny state but loves being cuckolded and spanked in literally every other context. Fucking weirdos.

Tbh this is what AI used to sound like prior to GPT-2.

AI is turning us into the stupider version of itself.

I’ve seen this movie before.

MAGA people can’t feel shame over any of this, they are incapable. This is a wealth and religion thing, you’ll notice MAGA people are nearly universally either wealthy, religious or both.

Particularly in America (because of the historical confluence of wealth and religion) these two types of people don’t experience shame the same way normal people do. Wealthy people’s sense of superiority over their position in society has bred in them the notion that shame is for their lessers. The richer they are, the worse this is. Religious people feel that nothing in the world is more righteous than sticking it to nonbelievers and no effort put forth in pursuit of that goal can be considered shameful. In fact, the opposite. In any case their shame quotient is sodden with their own repressed sexuality.

I’ve not read Spinoza, but this idea has for most of my life seemed fairly self-evident. Something clearly seems to exist, I’m not the biggest most important thing in the something, though I am a part of it. Do I believe in God? Not per se - but I do believe there is something incomprehensibly larger than I am, and that in and of itself deserves a little respect and contemplation.

My religious parents didn’t see it that way of course.
