  • This video fell into my feed: https://youtu.be/jRT9QVhCBm8

    Plain clothes police officers scare the crap out of a guy in his car because they (falsely) suspect that guy was a violent attacker. That person, thinking it’s a hijacking, tries to get away and accidentally runs over the cop killing him.

    The police lie under oath and say that they identified themselves to him and he intentionally killed him knowing he’s a cop.

    As a bonus: Doug Ford and John Tory and Patrick Brown (Brampton mayor) all include their brain dead takes.

    So yes, ACAB.


  • A complete random story but, I’m on the AI team at my company. However, I do infrastructure/application rather than the AI stuff. First off, I had to convince my company to move our data scientist to this team. They had him doing DevOps work (complete mismanagement of resources). Also, the work I was doing was SO unsatisfying with AI. We weren’t tweaking any models. We were just shoving shit to ChatGPT. Now it was be interesting if you’re doing RAG stuff maybe or other things. However, I was “crafting” my prompt and I could not give a shit less about writing a perfect prompt. I’m typically used to coding what I want but I had to find out how to write it properly: “please don’t format it like X”. Like I wasn’t using AI to write code, it was a service endpoint.

    During lunch with the AI team, they keep saying things like “we only have 10 years left at most”. I was like, “but if you have AI spit out this code, if something goes wrong … don’t you need us to look into it?” they were like, “yeah but what if it can tell you exactly what the code is doing”. I’m like, “but who’s going to understand what it’s saying …?” “no, it can explain the type of problem to anyone”.

    I said, I feel like I’m talking to a libertarian right now. Every response seems to be some solution that doesn’t exist.


  • Oh shit. Actually I completely forgot about that. I really didn’t like his takes on that …

    I think he was arguing that it was going to be hugely costly to the developer to keep games running after the fact and how difficult it was going to be. I really wanted to give him a fair shake but it really did feel full of straw man stuff because the stopkillinggames stuff wasn’t really about that.


  • I’m going to assume that you guys are correct. I sound like a prick when I say that but I don’t have instagram and will never have one so I can’t check the followers. As the comment claims that she follows MAGA people which is a red flag to me.

    She has almost no posts though. Just says something about wanting people to be happy unless there are other things that are hidden to me being a public viewer.

    It’s a bit of a shame, but I’ve ran out of sympathy for MAGA-types a long time ago. Although I’m not happy with what she went through for sure.

    Thanks for replying!


  • Oh I dunno, I avoid a lot of drama and just watch his takes on YouTube. Didn’t realize Lemmy really hated this guy (deserved or not).

    It’s a shame he reacted that way to you, not cool just deleting the discussion.

    [edit] to the downvoters *to this current comment *… on the original post it’s fine but for this specific one go fuck yourself, have a horrible day [/edit]
