As a Firefox user, this is not long-awaited. It’s a tepid excuse for a dead project. The forks of Firefox are the only real alternatives if you value privacy over convenience. If you don’t, then there are faster browers than FF anyway.

Are you mansplaining my own fucking country of 45 years to me?

Yeah, power corrupts. But royalty is excempt from scrutiny way too much. The king keeps pardoning finance crime buddies and it’s not even mentioned in the media like other corruption would be.

Anyway, https://stortinget.no/ has info on the hearings :)

Reading those tweets, looks like he was tired of his job and just wanted to be sent home.

Imagine, someone will be able to put “angel inspector” on their resumé now.

Silksong.

Love the game, but playing a few times a week isn’t enough investment for me to build up the necessary skill to complete it. Got to a point now where I literally spend the entire gaming session refreshing my fingers from last week, and decided to take a break until I can commit enough time to it. Maybe if I lose my kids or legs or go to prison or something.

The movement to get rid of the parasitic monarchy in Norway got a lot of traction this week, so that is nice.

There is an actual hearing in Parliament this tuesday about abolishing the monarchy. Not caused by this but happily strengthened.

That is an important point. Someone falsely accused of a serious crime, with muddy enough evidence, can get “1 year conditional imprisonment”. Especially if they look a bit foreign.

Now imagine the new power rando danes now hold over immigrants.

What if Z was X?

This thing looks like it can do okay on Q. It may be good at Z in the future!

Meanwhile, at HQ: “The userbase hallucinated that they don’t want AI. Maybe we prompted them wrong?”

Every single line of code is a maintenance cost, a liability, a velocity cost, and a stability risk.

The software industry knows this. Even Bill Gates famously proclaimed it.

Yet we now allow “it generated so much code!!!” to be told as success stories. Fuck you Sam Altman, Microsoft, and Anthropic for damaging both my industry and its reputation.

A “centaur” is a human being who is assisted by a machine (a human head on a strong and tireless body). A reverse centaur is a machine that uses a human being as its assistant (a frail and vulnerable person being puppeteered by an uncaring, relentless machine).

…

His job was to be the “human in the loop” for an AI that wrote the articles, but on a schedule and with a workload that precluded his being able to do a good job. It’s more true to say that his job was to be the AI’s “accountability sink” (in the memorable phrasing of Dan Davies): he was being paid to take the blame for the AI’s mistakes.

He was, in other words, a reverse centaur.

Fun experiment: Ask Google if there are more stars in the solar system than grains of sand in a glass of water. See the AI confidently say “yes” and then refresh the query and see it confidently say “no”.

We are?

It is obvious, but we have so many liars lying to everyone and each other about AI that they get away with it. Skilled bullshitters shitting up clouds of smoke and using every manipulation tactic in the world.

Some hard evidence makes it easier to prevent their damage.

Just post your prompt, bro

This space filling word soup is just wasting people’s time

Okay but why print his drunken texts? They mean nothing.

It’s just embarrassing for everyone involved.

Nah. Gonna stick to gaming on my GNU GUIX through Proton thanks.

Linux is clearly not only good enough, but simpler too.

It’s just a ton of perception, habits and sales pipelines that need moving now. If electronics stores started putting out Linux Gaming PCs, nobody buying them would be worse off than Windows. That has been true for well over a year.

I keep seeing the “it’s good for prototyping” argument they post here, in real life.

For non-coders it holds up if you ignore the security risk of someone running literally random code they have no idea what does.

But seeing it from developers, it smells of bullshit. The thing they show are always a week of vibing gave them some stuff I could hack up in a weekend. And they could too if they invested a few days of learning e.g. html5, basic css and read the http fetch doc. And the learning cost is a one-time cost - later prototypes they can just bang out. And then they also also have the understanding needed to turn it into a proper product if the prototype pans out.
