AI as it exists today is only effective if used sparingly and cautiously by someone with domain knowledge who can identify the tasks (usually menial ones) that don't need a human touch.

Everyone here is either on the side of hating big AI companies or hating IP law. I proudly hate both.

Teenage programmers can understand legacy code. These ones didn't. Don't dis teen coders.

Reminder that poor Gary Bowser was jailed for a year and owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He uses a wheelchair and has two kids.

It would be morally wrong to pirate all future Nintendo titles and pay the cover price to Gary's gofundme. Please don't do that.

Help retain users by discussing more than just politics

I was taught when I was young that you don't call something that isn't really genocide genocide, someone that isn't a nazi a nazi, etc. because it dilutes the meaning of the word. I do think that Israel is committing a genocide, and I do think that Musk is a neo-nazi; I'm not diluting these terms to say this.

Shout out to Castlevania II, where you can hold anywhere from 0 to 256 laurels. Yes, you read that right -- 256, not 255. I inspected RAM to double check. It's a 16-bit word on an 8-bit system with a maximum value of 0x100. They could have used 8 bits instead of 16. But no, they really did choose this arbitrary number.

I laugh because this is funny but then I think, oh god what if she's serious and now there's going to be a twitter campaign to remove satanic language in tech.

Please call it Twitter in the title unless there's a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.

I hate that people never say "bye" on the phone.

Land stolen from the Native Americans in almost all cases. (That's different from the other items in this list, which were produced or invented or traded.)

I think we need to figure out how to make leftism more appealing to centrists, and particularly to the cis/straight/white/male demographic.

be the change you want to see in the .world

They made the right call. Macaroni and cheese is definitely that good.

Next I'm going to find out ChatGPT is 700 thousand Indians typing really fast.

I do feel bad for people born in the year 1488 though, their usernames look really suspicious.

Yes, it really is this bad. One third of women in my country are sexually assaulted in adulthood. This is a bad conversation starter.

My absolute favourite thing is women doing things that "only men do."

(P.S. am a woman)

Wouldn’t it be much cooler, if we commissioned an actual artist for the banner

I hate it when AI is used to replace the work an artist would have been paid for. But uh, this is a random open-source forum; there's no funding for artists to make banners. Rejecting AI art -- which was voted for by the community -- just seems like baseless virtue signalling. No artist is going to get paid if we remove it.

But like if you want to commission an artist with your own money, by all means go ahead. You'll still most likely need another community vote to approve it though.

Addictive? Factorio.
