Dealing with Microsoft’s bullshit has always been one of the most pursuasive arguments for Linux.

Or at least develop chronic backpain.

He died so you can sin. Would be a waste of a good blood sacrifice to live a pure life if your god is just handing out grace.

I’m also depressed though.

The thing about serial killing is that it requires you to leave the house and meet new people, and frankly, that sounds like a lot of hassle I don’t need.

Hey, it’s got a handrail, it’s fine.

Which is also weird if you think about it because they have the republic system too.

I’m not sure if this would strictly be a SLAPP rather than general litigious bullying (GLiB has a nice ring to it actually.)

In this respect though open sourcing it was a good move. Even if the creator were to be blocked from distributing, it’s out there.

The thing about legal threats is that they can work even if the theory they are based on isn’t any good. Fee-shifting isn’t always guaranteed, if it is available at all. Capital has already budgeted for its lawyers this year, have you?

Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.

Generally I find they are. Herbs are leaves, flowers and (herbaceous) stems, spices are other parts. A plant might provide both a herb and a spice, but they will typically be different parts of a plant.

Tea would be a herb.

Unfortunately that is more a symptom than a root cause. Even if we could the infection would remain.

But if I don’t have American politics to distract me I have to confront how generally fucked the UK is.

Yeah, this is much the same kind of use. If you work on the assumption that it is just something that has read everything, and everything that has been written about everything you can find it’s utility. Folk want it to be some kind of fact genie, but the only facts it knows are what words go together, and it literally doesn’t know the difference between real and made up.

Isn’t the entire purpose of copilot that it shouldn’t need much in the way of training? I think the extent of it at my employer is “this is the one you use.”

I’ve tried it a few times, the only thing it seems remotely good for is when your recollection of a source is too fuzzy to form a traditional search query around. “What’s that book series I read in the early 2000s about kids who traveled to another world and the things they brought back from it just looked like junk.” Kind of questions.

Hey, you know that thing you use? What if it had a button on it that opened an AI prompt?

Well my mum says it’s a really smart idea from her special little innovator.

Unironically? Maybe not. But using something ironically is still using it.

Imagine making paying someone to make an AI to be your friend and it still hates you. (I presume, given the current state of the right and twitter Grok might not think it is a bad thing.)

Just don’t read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.
