A part of the argument against AI is that LLMs are somewhat less than accurate (colloquially, "shitty"), but in limited use cases they are fine. How do you judge an LLM? Well, I tried to answer that myself. Warning, the test is tailored more to myself and hacker friends than the world, but it should give you an idea of a direction to head on your own path.

LLMs are the cars of the computing world: they seem convenient, but the tradeoffs are not immediately obvious, and if you come to depend on them you may find it hard to break the habit
The recent study showed that AI chatbots could be manipulated into giving advice on hacking, making explosives, cybercrime tactics, and other illegal or harmful activities.
While it is much better to wear a good mask outdoors during wildfire smoke events that filter the PM2.5 particles than nothing, you are still getting exposed to other toxic gases. There are elastomeric respirators with special cartridges that will filter out both the PM2.5 particles and also various gases which would provide better protection outside from smoke ( https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/respirators/elastomeric/default.html ). 7/
Today on my lunch I made HackPad allow the full SVG document including processing instructions. I used XMLSerializer to return the full document. Then I updated the footer to include latest URLs and HackPads.
Walmart had 2,165,465 employees worldwide at the end of 2024 which is 70,000 less than five years ago. During the same period revenue has grown 36%.
As revenue increased headcount has reduced and Walmart expects automation including robotics and AI to maintain that trend.
Doing more with less isn’t just for big tech.

"It's not that hard, you just have to do it"
Ah, OK, so it is very hard.
Marks & Spencer is holding walk-in in-store recruitment open days to fill vacant roles while its online hiring system remains offline following its ransomware attack in April. https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/mands-stores-staging-walk-in-recruitment-open-days-amid-cyberattack-disruption/705189.article
A very useful question to ask yourself when reading anything (fiction, non-fiction, blogs, books, whatever) is “what does the author want to believe is true?”
Because a lot of writing is just as much about the author convincing themselves as it is about them addressing the reader
"I don't see any lack of desire to put the work in, rather a deep cultural burnout at the circumstances and motivations currently driving change in the industry. Despite it all, we still care."

Actually, I take it back: I have one opinion. If AI evangelist don't like how people react to being evangelized, they can just stop doing it.
And then we can have that rational discussion they claim to want.
But this isnt that.

Please remember to look after each other this pride, it's been a tough year for many, and more than in a long time :heart_progress:
Protect each other and look after our trans pals, who have been especially exposed :rosahaj_trans_heart:
1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.
So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.
They opened the drawbridge to block them.
So they marched to a different bridge.

Defying DeSantis, Florida Prid...
Yeah, corporations suck.
Me when the AIBros tell me I’m a dinosaur and I’m going to get left behind:
We are survivors. We are strong. We are unstoppable.
Happy Pride!
