I should write that System76 review already.

They found 86-dos 0.1 and 0.34, holy fucking shit!

MS bought the code of this operating system to create MS-DOS.
Therefore this is the oldest version of dos ever and probably one of the first ever created.

Autism? .. That's all .. correct.

I still read documentation and search StackOverflow when I code. If I ever get to the point where I'm stuck and use a friend's OpenAI pro account, it 90% gives me wrong answers only. I'll spend ~30 minutes debugging its shitty code, only to throw it away. Sometimes I'll jump onto IRC and someone will say, "Oh you can't actually do that. It's because of this limitation <link to bug, code or issue>. You gotta do this instead".

ChatGPT 3.5/4 are fucking awful unless it's already a solved problem. At some point, people who keep using Co-Pilot or ChatGPT are going in end up in court over licenses because of some example code that was ripped verbatim from some other project.

I think the AI art and voice stuff might be pretty useful in allowing smaller teams to get animation projects done faster. There are already tools that will render drawing styles on top of line art as you're drawing it, which should get past a lot of copyright issues. It could help mediocre people make really cool shit. But as far as engineering, no one should trust A.I. to design a bridge.

The words “Sentient AI” crossed my stream and now I’m annoyed again

We don’t have AI.

We have large language model “Chinese Room” systems. They aren’t intelligent, aren’t capable of intelligence, and its an entirely 100% fake market. They represent a step backwards in the development of thinking machines, because they are going in the exact opposite direction to get to actual AI. It’s a school of charlatans.

It’s annoying.

#fediblock ers will complain about corporate influence over the internet and then take money from Pierre Omidyar to find out how best to censor one another

I have an idea for a game with roguelike elements but I know everyone will say the same shit "every indie game has roguelike elements" "you are too lazy to create levels".

I am betting the ActivityPub O'Reilly book is only going to mention Mastodon so it doesn't make AP sound as confusing as it really is.

@Tadano it's time to get used to it: whatever they call you - they themselves are guilty of that sevenfold
they call you a nazi? they're the ones who unironically live and breathe caring about racial superiority
they call you a commie? they're the ones who want to control everyone else
they call you a pedo? they're the ones who have child porn and argue about age of consent
they call you a cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller? well they're the ones digging tunnels under jew york
they call you orcs who steal toilets and have no tarmac roads? yeah go figure
it's always projection with those types

What do you guys think the world really needs from open-source, online communities right now? I'm building yet another microblogging thing. It's awesome and I think you guys are going to really like it. But I feel like there's some idea floating in the ether that we haven't grasped yet. Something new.
