It wasn't prostitution though, that would have been standard. This guy tells Stormy that it's a job interview like he's Harvey Weinstein

Could spoof GPS anyways.

Oh I think you made the point better than me. As it is written somewhere, live by the sword die by the sword. I hope you enjoy your bowl of shit.

Why would anyone care about the safety of others over their own safety?

As long as I can slice vegetables using my car door I don't give a damn about pedestrians.

Probably just agreeing, but Why does art need a definitive way to experience, or for that matter, a "purpose"?

I do think that how we talk about art is also part of how we experience it.

I'm providing explicit examples of compilers doing "the stuff we want it to do". LLMs do what the want 50% of the time and it still needs modifications afterwards. Imagine having to correct a compiler output and calling that compiler "useful".

That use to be the case for programming jobs, but ever since the layoffs, those with a degree are at an advantage. I was laid off, but it only took me 6 weeks to land a new job thanks to my CS degree. My cohorts without a degree have been looking for 6 months...

That's a distinction without a difference. The code is useful because we can reason how it was made and we can then make deterministic changes. Try using a compiler that gives you a qualitatively different result each time it runs even though the inputs are the same.

Wild to mention the desalination where there is an acute lack of potable water in Gaza right now. And why the hell are the diesel powered in the first place, does it have to do with the lack of un-bombed power plants?

technology develops exponentially, while humans are … static

I have yet to see a self-improving technology that does not require adaptive human intelligence as an input.

Compilers are deterministic and you can reason about how they came to their results, and because of that they are useful.
