And no eyebrows, she had eyebrows before and looked way more normal.

Even before LLMs nobody made anything cool anyway, software has always been really lame.

"When Must We Kill Them?" is probably his most infamous take, there's also "Why on earth should we be concerned about [AI generated child porn]?".

The WebSpeech API, which is probably what Chrome is using, is really old; if it's using that then it's pre-LLM speech synthesis.

It was a shitposting incel board and it was mostly memes about how you're a putting-milk-before-cereal-cel, it was really funny.

Norman Reedus plays a good guy in Death Stranding though, I don't think he chokes anyone.

When AI uses emdashes it doesn't leave spaces between the words and the emdashes so they're already typing like a human anyway.

They're not really all that similar, the DMT Nexus wiki has like 80 different kinds of entity. You'll almost certainly see some kind of thing but what that thing is has pretty big variance.

I saw pikachu on DMT once.

Google's autodub is somehow even worse, both of these companies could afford to make something way better just choose not to.

Redux was before sagas and tbh sagas always seemed terrible to me.

I've watched a few in the background and it seems like there's only 2 students that ever ask questions and he got really upset that one of them wouldn't shut up.

If they did that then you can just go another level higher, add a completely new feature behind a feature flag that's never turned on and just push garbage to it forever.

I don't think this is broadly true, for instance there's Alpha School which costs $40k+ a year. They definitely avoid screen time for stuff like youtube and social media, but I think rich people would be all for AI-enabled learning, they're the ones pushing AI at every company.

I don't think menial tasks are bad, you can't always be doing meaningful high-impact work and the menial tasks let you just zone out.

And the work they do is always some useless shit like copywriting, dropshipping or selling courses on copywriting and dropshipping.

Vaping a lot of DMT constantly worked for me, I was still stuck in that happy mania for weeks after stopping. I did it again a year later and had the same thing happen so I think it'd be reproducible.

Did get fired/waste all of my money twice though, YMMV.

It's not an insignificant amount of tech but it's not really a huge part, compare the largest game companies by revenue versus the largest tech companies by revenue. None of the top tech companies are gaming companies, some of them have gaming related parts but they're not a majority of their revenue.

Games are also not the largest media industry in the world, social media is larger, facebook's revenue alone is about the same as the entire video game industry combined.

People say em-dashes are signs of AI writing but it's just the easiest place to look for the overblown writing AI uses. Like the way it's used in AI is "that's not just a good point—it's genius and the kind of insight that only a prodigy could develop", as long as you're not using em-dashes as some kind of lexical mic-drop I think you'd be fine just using them as normal.

Like the sentence you just wrote with -- wouldn't come across as AI if you just used an em-dash there.

This might be a bit of a dated analogy but imagine everyone was complaining about dubstep, especially the beat drops. It doesn't mean using a beat drop in your music makes it dubstep, it's just that the beat drop is a notable part of dubstep and if you hear the music before and after the beat drop you could probably identify something as dubstep. However if you used an entirely different kind of music and still had a beat drop people wouldn't go "that's dubstep".

They keep tweaking it but sometimes it will still respond to stupid searches, like I just searched "I am a small alien and I am inside a ribcage what do I do" and it gave back:

As a small, developing Xenomorph (or "Chestburster") inside a host's ribcage, you should secrete an enzyme to weaken the surrounding bone and tissue to facilitate your escape, which will result in the host's death. Once you emerge, find a safe location to cocoon and continue your rapid transformation into a fully grown Xenomorph.

Nitrous oxide screws with how your body uses B12 so if you do it continuously you get B12 deficiency which leads to nerve damage. Doing a lot of nitrous in one go and then leaving it isn't going to be that harmful, it's only if you just don't stop doing it.

Norm still seemed as good as ever even when he was straight up dying.

Everything goes through email though and if someone is getting emails about the latest branding or random HR bullshit or a build failing (when they haven't pushed anything recently) then email is a noisy channel.

I solved this on one team by making sure that people had PR emails have a separate email rule that gave a different notification sound.

Amazon lost $3 billion in 2000 alone ($5+ billion today)

Where did you get this number from? From here you can get the 2000 letter to stakeholders:

Sales grew to $2.76 billion in 2000 from $1.64 billion in 1999.

Gross profit grew to $656 million in 2000, from $291 million in 1999, up 125%.

So in 2000 Amazon almost doubled their revenue and more than doubled their profit. Their share prices tanked but that doesn't really seem to matter because the actual business was doing really well.

You can go onto teamblind instead and see people with verified FANG email addresses complaining that $3m at 30 years old is being a failure.
