We actually had freezers in stores back before the internet was widely used.

People find it more convenient to network everything, but it isn't Necessary we're seeing the very predictable downside.

They used to be real friends. At this point, if you only know someone online, they might not even be a someone let alone a friend.

There is absolutely no chance I would allow a 5 year extended exposure to an LLM.

The sad thing is it happens in real life too. You'll talk to people and it's like 25% of their brain has been taken over by a parasite that replicates itself by amplifying their tribe's Talking Point of The Day. You have to just wait for them to get it out and then you can talk to the real person again.

If the job does not require a person to be able to fizzbuzz, it probably doesn't require a person at all.

One thing that would help, and that I don't see addressed here is "avoid taking public positions on divisive issues that are not absolutely clear and directly linked to your area of expertise."

Avoid politics like Codex avoids goblins.

I have only seen "go do X" result in CC adding "TODO: X" to the working file on one occasion. When it happened, I noticed that the file contained a very similar todo for a similar action already. My guess is that because the agent had the whole file in context, that influenced it to produce output similar to what was already there.

I wonder if it has to do with how often TODOs appear in the existing code.

If you value art as communication with another human soul, then it matters whether a human was involved.

"Who cares if that 'I love you' voicemail is really from your mother. As long as it sounds like your mother, it should give you the same warm feeling."

'When one five-year-old said, "I love you," to the toy, it replied: "As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed."'

I'll take this over "I love you too!" What kind of person is giving an AI toy to a toddler?

I think belief in the rapture is pretty rare among denominations that practice infant baptism.

They should bear in mind that someone they consider an authoritarian will inevitably be elected.

Because people prefer their objects to lose value more slowly?

Not sure why this would be hard to understand.

I don't think any of these are ambiguous. My point is that sometimes right wingers take the nonsense position and sometimes left wingers take the nonsense position. Neither side reliably follows the evidence or "believes the science" so glib lines like "reality has a liberal bias" are shallow and silly.
