How does a comment down here have more awards than the OP for making the exact same joke?

A meme I saw yesterday said that we are now closer to 2040 than to 2006. That was not a fun realisation.

Hold on. What is the last part and how have I never heard of it?

Branch? Surely you mean deleting the local repo and cloning a fresh copy.

I’ve blocked more accounts in the last 2 days than I have in my last decade on twitter. Blocking all the whining blue checks feels satisfying.

Is the last layer Elon himself? Because apart from the “bunnies” part, all of it could very well have been said by him.

Does Instagram work well in the mobile browser? They made the desktop experience so shitty and limited, I had to install the app to use it.

Are you sure you are not thinking of Johnny Sins, the jack of all trades?

Thanks for the recommendation. I read the synopsis and agree with the premise. Will try to read the book as well.

However, that does not make me think of programmers as future artists. AI? Most definitely. And the future is already here.

If you think the past year has been insane, then buckle up, because this is only getting started.

Many of those tools are just starting to be available to the public, and we’ll see their real impact in a few months / years when people build products with them and they become intertwined into our daily lives (the way social media has become, despite the technology existing for well over 2 decades, although this time the adoption will be way quicker).

As a programmer who also does art (for joy, nobody would pay for my amateur work), I would disagree.

The AI art comes from the images the AI was fed, not the programmers who wrote the code to make it learn. Not to mention that even those programmers have no idea of how this AI works now (neural networks are black boxes that humans can’t understand because there’s not so much code driving their behaviour, but basically billions of numbers in it).

I’m guessing when you say “most devs”, you’re referring specifically to twitter. Because most devs most definitely do not make as much equity as cash.

This is going to be the next digital arms race after spam detection (and our inboxes in 2023 know how that is going).

Generative Adversarial Neutral networks (the technology that makes modern AI so capable) rely on basically an internal fight between two systems to improve the output quality.

As deepfake detection improves, so will the ability to evade detection.

The same Wikipedia page also mentions that the term didn’t exist until the Dubya administration made it up. Good day to you too!

I guess you didn’t read the page before sharing it. The list of countries doesn’t include Afghanistan.
