Starting to wonder if I need to move on from Sublime Text. The ergonomics are fit to me so perfectly, but

- The Rust integration is *barely* not where I want it to be. RAM usage is irresponsible. I mouse over a variable and it says the type is "Error". What is fucking "Error"? That could mean literally hundreds of things

- This is petty but: I want so badly to be able to have two views vertically split into one file. "New View into File" is now a hidden feature and it doesn't work so well

ABCD EFG
Gummy bears are chasing me.
One is red, one is blue,
One is even on my shoe.
And now I'm running for my life
'Cause the red one has a knife.
Now I'm running even faster
Because the blue one has a blaster...

I have nothing to add. I just wanted to collect this for posterity.

This is not a bad thing. AI NEEDS to be regulated heavily. Otherwise, we see AI apps like ‘Nudify’ that use AI to undress women in photos. Those apps are soaring in popularity and degrading women. Is that what American corporations want? It blows my mind as many on social media defend such apps as freedom of expression or Rule 34. What kind of society encourages such behavior? Aren’t you worried about your daughters and mothers becoming victims of such crimes? I can’t believe it.

Breaking: ChatGPT passes Turing test.
https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/openai-chatgpt-lazy-performance-slow-b2461071.html

OpenAI says it is investigating complaints about ChatGPT having become “lazy”.

In recent days, more and more users of the latest version of ChatGPT – built on OpenAI’s GPT-4 model – have complained that the chatbot refuses to do as people ask, or that it does not seem interested in answering their queries.

If the person asks for a piece of code, for instance, it might just give a little information and then instruct users to fill in the rest. Some complained that it did so in a particularly sassy way, telling people that they are perfectly able to do the work themselves, for instance.

one time someone asked me what I do for a living and I said I'm an engineer, and then they asked me what kind and I said software, and then they just said "oh" with a little disappointment, and I've never claimed to be an engineer since then. If you say "programmer" instead nobody ever asks what kind, not even other programmers, and I think that's beautiful.
