Oh, that's just great. It'll turn into a juvenile delinquent tree, hiding behind other trees to leap out and scare unsuspecting hikers.

As is throwing your wife under the bus when you get challenged.

That trailer music is on-point.

Out of curiosity, why is the cleaning fee not included into the rental rate? Is it required to be listed separately or does that simplify accounting somehow?

Is this a Monty Python scene about sacking people?

But are we actually seeing those results or are people just burning 10x more money?

What I'm not seeing is news promoting how we're suddenly doing 10x better in any aspect of our daily lives, nor 6x or 4x or even 2x better. You'd think if we were suddenly getting 10x more productive, even if it was never published in the news, we'd see something, anything that affected our lives in a positive manner.

We're not.

Or at least, I'm not. And a lot of other people seem to be in the same boat.

We aren't suddenly seeing 10x the software output that these 10 joyful people are producing. I think it's more likely that 10x people are suddenly trying to figure out a way to low-effort scam money with AI. And a few of those people have teamed up with VC's to make AI products to scrape the bottom of the pond for desperate suckers looking to scam money. There's 10x the headaches for existing projects that suddenly have to deal with low-effort bugreps from people looking to show that they are now "expert software engineers" because they can write "go find the bugs in Project X" and an AI will possibly do that.

There are some interesting things being built by AI, but 10x the number of joyful software engineers ain't it.

Proof that our administration fails to understand the technology at a fundamental level.

The writer probably had to have a private moment when she realized she could use this title.

> Only dub media you have the rights to, and only clone voices with the consent the use requires. A dub made from someone else's film or voice is for private use unless you have permission.

I wonder how long that will last?

So that leaves, what? Muse? Grok?

Muse is run by Zuckerberg, which is a red flag. Grok is run by a racist.

I guess I could go with the Chinese models - I'm not working on anything dangerous.

> How you gunna jail an AI?

You don't - you shut them down and jail whoever ultimately allowed the act to happen.
