This is what LLM pundits and ‘vibe coders’ don’t seem to understand.

I made something. It might not be…

• the tastiest cookie;
• the best song;
• the most efficient software…

But it’s mine.

Making stuff is what makes us humans. Fuck ‘’‘’‘AI’‘’‘’.

Not me.

No matter how often I read this kind of stuff, I simply don’t buy the ‘AI is dangerous for humanity!! We gotta stop their development or at least press for sane guardrails!!!’ narrative.

It’s a bit of a shorthand and pretty mundane, but I always compare parenthood with the part of the flight safety demonstrations concerning the loss of cabin pressure (you do pay attention, don’t you?):

Put on your own mask first, then help others.

You have to take care of yourself and ensure your own security and well-being before even thinking of helping others. It’s really that simple.

How’s this for a headline:

The Greek government wasted 3 billion in taxpayer money for a defense system they won’t be able to use or further develop without ‘Israeli’ consent.

All of the Broligarchs (Zuck, Huang, Thiel, ‘The Mummy’ Ellison) are annoying and dangerous, but Altman sure has the most punchable face of all, for whatever reason.

For a wild moment, I thought those were pigs in a slaughterhouse…

Hehehe. Nope, I mean the classics, actually. TR I-IV on a PS2

Lara Croft. I think I did pretty well.

I actually identify as a magic mushroom, thank you very much.

My problem with this particular argument is that M$ attained this dominance not because of the quality of its products, or because its C-suites are geniuses, but by decades of lobbying and monopolistic market practice.

Downvote and insult me as long and as much as you like, but I refuse to call anyone who works with Window$ an ‘IT admin’.

I setup Debian with MATE for a friend who had only used Window$ and had little to none technical knowledge, then setup cronjobs for 1) upgrading all installed packages 2) her data to be rsynced between the two built-in SSDs. It’s been a year now, she has asked for help only twice, both of them involving complex third-party software.

I’m pretty sure that he would use KolibriOS.

I find Estonia’s flag pretty cool tbh

Is it really made in Spain ? I’m pretty tired of the ‘Designed in Germany…Made in China’ / ‘Responsibly made in PRC with Swiss technology’ macro-bullshit.

I lost every ounce of respect and admiration I had for this man after he sold the franchise to Disney.

Given that one of the most popular Scheme implementations is Chicken Scheme (Chicken for short), there is a non-zero chance of actual job offerings asking for ‘experience in Chicken’.

To be fair, reality is actually worse than that, since M$ has already said under oath during a trial in France that it is unable to protect the data of EU customers from the prying eyes of Gringoland’s authorities. Switzerland is not EU, but of course the same applies.
