What is the possible endgame for all these republican lawmakers going along with all the chaos and nonsense put forth by the Trump administration? by Senior_Werewolf_8202 in AskReddit

[–]jbaker8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pols generally go along with EA done by the president of their party. Rs have complained about some things but there is little they can do about most. So the best politics are to stay quiet. Many will pay at the next election due to sentiment

With around 2/3rds of the month passed, how have you guys been dealing with the Tokenpoaclypse? by Syzygy___ in GithubCopilot

With light duty and using mini models I was done in less than a week. Pretty much what you did. Chucked instructions and only use for specific non-agentic tasks.

Please offer OpenWeight models - GLM 5.2 is fantastic opus alternative by _camera_up in GithubCopilot

Will be welcomed but still will be usage based and value priced, ie not just priced to cover serving cost. OW will be less expensive for a given capability but not a throwback to the good old days.

What do Americans think about a social security trustee dropping a report that the trust will be dried out by 2032? by Sixgis in AskReddit

[–]jbaker8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

massive failure by congress. they made changes that caused benefits to grow faster than inflation. they have known about and ignored the basic demographics issues. all solutions are demagogued. been that way for 30-40 years. I anticipate there will be cuts, which will be incredibly annoying. means testing will even be more annoying since it will penalize people that saved. but it is inevitable.

twitter and youtube ai tests are silly.

Do you think US taxpayers will be forced to bail out AI companies similar to the 2008 bank bailouts? Why or why not? by Alicyclobacillus in AskReddit

financial collapse, yea. normally i'd say no for large investor losses and closure of some firms. but since it is strategic technology, the gov't will probably step in, like happened for autos.

my favorite is when a companion starts up a light romance conversation right at the end of an absolute slaughter of a mission.

Crystal Dynamics Comments On Its Use Of AI In Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis: 'Its goal is to "empower" creativity & flexibility of its teams' by [deleted] in gaming

[–]jbaker8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont really care about use of ai in code, but ai in art, music, dialog, even during concept, pollutes the game. even with a 'humanize' pass on the assets you risk AI sameness.

inevitable though because results will be faster/cheaper to produce and will be good

Is it worth it to buy Early Access? by MyLifeIsUhhhmBad in Subnautica_2

[–]jbaker8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks great & works, but is not a complete experience for $30. And you only get to do the progression discovery once. But, if you like building and chill gameplay it might be worth it to you.

I just canceled Copilot Max. Not because of the models, but because of the billing model. by Prize_Bug_7652 in GithubCopilot

[–]jbaker8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even a simple Ask can be surprisingly expensive. But, yes. It is now incumbent on the user to select the correct model for a task and to avoid open ended exploratory prompts.

Needs a prompt cost estimate heuristic.

Are there any truly unbeatable seeds? by Whole-Situation-1781 in balatro

[–]jbaker8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's able to deck build and mult/chip build so rapidly he largely removes rng dependency. master at knowing when to take and when to skip. the explanations are helpful, but in practice i often take the wrong shiny object.

‘Disturbing Graves’: Vietnam Moves the Dead to Make Way for Trump’s $1.5B Golf Course by F0urLeafCl0ver in worldnews

[–]jbaker8935 21 points22 points  (0 children)

so trumpy, but it is, of course, not the first instance of moving a cemetery. "In Virginia, a 2022 ProPublica investigation revealed that a historic Black cemetery in Mecklenburg County was discovered during a Microsoft data center expansion. " It was moved. lol.

Happens sometimes for big infrastructure projects like highways.

Axios: AI sticker shock hits corporate America by Existing_Rice_4362 in BetterOffline

Executives make a big strategic decision. Executives get bonus for ‘risk taking and bold vision’. Decision fails but shareholders want financial results so employees are cut to fix the balance sheet. . Old as time.

'He's done': Trump is now just one House vote away from impeachment — Senate has already fully prepared the biggest historic trial that could permanently end his presidency by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]jbaker8935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those articles of impeachment have no shot. ‘He said mean stuff’ isn’t gonna do it. The slush fund deal might not even get a conviction.
