  • Imagine being such losers that you get owned by the fucking Guardian, and as your brilliant followup, you start screaming "I'M NOT OWNED"

    Orange site post with a bunch of people saying burnout is a learning experience and that its okay to be perpetually depressed because it makes you more disruptive.

    I don't have anything clever to say about this.

  • It must be exciting when you find out your startup is in the only industry that's in VCs sightlines, and it must be fucking exhausting crafting a pitch for them.

    The VERA story of pet euthanasia reinforces my bias that there is nothing good to be gained at an industry conference, so I'm tempted to believe it's true. Either it's truly insane marketing copy crafted to suck up sociopathic VCs attention because these people live in hell, or it's actually real and they're happy that they've created Uber a killbot for dogs because these people live in hell.

    Even when you luck out and somehow get a chance to win at capitalism by a coincidence of destiny, it still eats your soul.

    • "So, rather than just tell students that they’re in for a rough ride if they cram my prompt through ChatGPT, I show them."

  • From the pov of a slightly exhausted prof who just wants a short-ish answer for her students, the conclusion sorta makes sense, I guess. The students want to convince themselves they aren't wasting their time with genAI and she's not in a position to convince them otherwise, so the next best thing is showing them what industrial life with genAI will be like.

    "The future you're dreaming of sucks, so get used to it." isn't a satisfying answer, but its a forced perspective.

    • Sam Altman is full of shit (and totally has a thing for Scarlett Johansson)

  • ScarJo being what takes down Saltman's wannabe Skynet isn't what I have on my bingo card, but would be is insanely funny.

    • Remember how ChatGPT totally aced the bar exam? Wow! yeah, turns out that was just a lie

  • Eclipse could generate templates for me, and I think we collectively agreed to stop using Eclipse like 20 years ago, so why are we trying to bring it back.
