I work in IT so I know how important it is to be absolutely, 100% clear about what you are saying. Same is true for things like medicine, engineering, pilots, etc. Setting X to 0 vs 1 can make a big difference.

Eh, I've had VERY mixed results. I've had it tell me information that I absolutely knew was wrong, and it did so with great confidence, until I copy and pasted the excerpt from the website and the URL back to it. It then goes, "Oh you're right!" Ughhhh....

I use it to whip out bash and python scripts quickly. I review them to see what it is doing. If AI disappeared it would just slow me down but not stop me.

I tell folks to take what it tells you with a grain of salt because you can get it to agree with you no matter what, eventually. It will also confidently give you answers even if your question was vague or missing important specifications.

TIL Pop-Tarts are now lower quality than the old generic knock offs
They were based on real tarts originally. They've gotten so crappy you might as well go back to baking them yourself.

Memory prices climb 500% in 12 months, up to 10x the lowest ever tracked prices — 128GB of DDR5 now $3,399
I wonder if the fed gov cares that entire sectors of the tech economy are being threatened by one (AI).

I tried a twinkie for the first time in ages and maybe it is just a rose‑tinted memory but I swear they tasted better when I was a kid. It was really dry and the filling barely had any flavor. It was just greasy.

I'd rather pay more and eat less of it for real chocolate.

I love the implication that it is better to die than to be autistic in any way.

An odd hill to choose to literally die on, the problem is they are forcing their conspiracy fantasies on innocent kids.

Medicare for All Would Be $40 Trillion Cheaper Than Our Shitty For-Profit System | Common Dreams
You have to have some control over the prices or they'll just jack up costs to whatever the public can handle. Similar to how colleges just raise prices to whatever gov pell grants will cover.
