Oh, yeah, that does make sense. I’m not sure why my brain went up the garden path on that one.

Smear? What milk products are you thinking of? What came to my mind was cheese (which you could call metan tofu, I suppose…), but I would usually expect cheese to be sprinkled, not smeared.

One of my go to sites has a jump to recipe button…works on my computer but fails on my phone 😔

The recipes are good enough to put up with the inconvenience

Hard disagree. No books should ever be burned. Don’t legitimize the practice.

OK, what’s the best photo you’ve taken of your cat?

Eh, I don’t think it’s an outright scam, rather “just” a bad investment / overhype. The language model programs do have some real uses, after all.

I fail to see how AI can replace any given entry-level SE

You don’t “get it”?

AI is making senior software engineers more productive so they don’t need to hire more devs

Yes, I think you do.

I largely look at this as leadership using AI hype as an excuse to cut staff regardless of actual productivity. The house of cards hasn’t come down quite yet.

It doesn’t have to be a good implementation, it only has to be good enough for a demo to get the C-suite saying “Oh, slap a chatbot on there and then fire half the department that handles this now”.

AI isn’t destroying any jobs. Greedy “leaders” in the C-suite are cutting jobs using AI as an excuse.

It’s a sick joke at our expense.

Joke’s on them, my phone only cost $300

Thanks, I hate it.

Joke’s on you, I never used that word at all.

Quagmire, is that you?

Exactly, I think that’s a lot of what threw me.

People at my office have a bot attend meetings. AFAIK it does speech recognition and generates notes from the meeting. Sembly maybe? I’d have to look again to be sure.

increase the albido

My brain saw this as ‘libido’ for a second. I was like, you want us to fuck our way to carbon neutrality?

I was about to suggest cross-posting to imgur when I realized I merely misread the word :\

downdog

Wait, I know downward-facing dog from yoga, but what’s ‘updog’?

No. I felt sorry for people born yesterday, but I think today’s kids will be OK.

Not sure about tomorrow, though. :P

Need?

Seems logical. Glue, gluant, sticky.

I hadn’t expected a dictionary search to come up empty, though.
