Rechte lieben es die Ästhetik von Linken zu kooptieren. Funktioniert leider auch oft, weil eine Ästhetik von den meisten nur oberflächlich verstanden wird.

Etwas verwandt: die neue Sanitätsinspekteur Generalin von Präsident Trumpf ist ein Hippie und wirbt für Magische Pilze Therapie.

Wer mit Software arbeitet, weiss dass 10mal mehr Code nichts ist was als Firma sehr erstrebenswert ist. Und dass ist ungefähr alles worin LLMs gut sind. Unmengen an gerade-so-nutzbarem slop.

Alles in allem ist es recht angenehm, aber beim Modulimport hat FF einen Fall wo's ohne vernünftige Fehlermelldung abraucht. Ich schreib vielleicht einen Bugreport...

Ich iel wenn ich nach 3 Tagen 0 Features gebaut habe, aber dafür obskures Firefox-spezifisches Wissen über modulbasierte Worker-Threads gesammelt habe.

The comment section seems to be 50% that dude by word count. He must be a perfectly healthy amount online.

You're certainly hitting some nails on their heads here. The normalisation of AI is absolutely happening, mostly because the buttons start showing up on Google/Microsoft/etc. products with massive market share.

Also the manlyman blogs bitching about beaver hair brushes. I was looking up safety razors in german ("Rasierhobel" btw, totally unaware of that until now), and Wikipedia was referencing one such archived blog, bitching about pig bristle brushes being "drug store" garbage. I might still get one. (The razor that is, not the brush. Spray on foam will do for me.)

Not so sure about the scythe/mower thing. My battery powered mower & motor scythe slap. (Stihl btw)

While browsing some german news media outside my usual territorry (DW and tagesschau), and was fooled by this chameleon of an ad on the front page of WELT (trying for classy, but obvious conservative bias).

The heading means "Bitcoin could protect from inflation". If you want to check out some retail investor shilling in the wild, here you go!

I can see tante's point. Besides AI datacenters being used for surveillance tech, I can also see LLM tech itself used nefariously post-bubble. Maybe maintaining an up-to-date LLM as a product is not viable, but a custom-trained model to snipe public online discourse around a crucial election could remain affordable for a wealthy fascist.

On the bright side, I am hoping for a brief period of powerful yet affordable gaming PCs thanks to retrofitted, slightly singed Blackwells.

Didn't come up with that simile, but it might fit:

It's like a fleshed out version of a 12 year old thinking "everything would be great if I was in charge, because I'm smart and people are dumb"

Something about people who are too impressed with their own smarts and swap pet theories that make them feel smart.
