I write stuff and do tech stuff and comment on Baylor Football from time to time and maybe Cowboys too. This is a personal account and does not imply endorsement by any employer or anyone else.

Texas' Republican-controlled House approves redrawn congressional district maps Republicans feel they have supporting legal opinions to make the changes, but Democrats spent the day arguing the bill breaks up communities of color.

The bill is to "improve Republican performance in elections" aka further disenfranchise the 49% of the state that represent more Democrats than 47 other states....

@actblueorg.bsky.social your text spam has conditioned me to type STOP 45 times per day and never support another potentially good person financially through your platform. Good job!

This is why we Democrats lose. Stupid stuff.

"only an evil family who lost an 8 year old who wasn't sufficiently warned would ask why I fired so many people in the NWS who could maybe have warned them. "

They say you are the average of your 5 closest friends so I have a habit of waving to anyone I see driving a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Sure. And tools like Copilot and such can rapidly accelerate dev but agree you need to know if the output is right

Recreate extinct species.
Smuggle exotic pets with rare diseases.
Heck, create new diseases!
Ignore (or accelerate) climate change.
Open a chain of luxury hotels called The White Lotus.
Find a way to have sharks with lasers on their heads.

Like, who watches a movie that ends in sheer disaster and thinks, "I think I could cause that!"?

Even if asked why they would want to, they'd reply, "But what if I COULD."

"Should" doesn't enter the chat.

So after reading up, it appears we did not, in fact, deextinctify a dire wolf, but we made big white gray wolves with different ears.

That said, I feel like there is a movie that says this path may be a bad idea.

Will be interesting when some of these folks try to get jobs at companies that restrict ChatGPT. Heck some places restrict internet access...

Came here to make a comment that was exactly this with only slightly different wording. Thank you for saving me the trouble.

Some are merely observations, like Prison Song from System of a Down lol.

Drowning Pool's Bodies may well be an ode to self-affirmation!

I feel like I have seen this play out in a movie but I can't put my finger on it.

I also believe there is a high likelihood that web-trained AI models will collapse on themselves under the weight of consuming their own genAI content.

My faith that there will be consequences is low, even if he is caught xeroxing page by page and handing them over to a foreign national in exchange for a $20 bill for each page, sadly. But maybe.

I will admit I struggle with the fact that I agree with many points you make and also work in tech where the prevailing sentiment is inevitability which has caused me to develop an extremely nuanced position that probably fits nobody's rubric save my own.

I did not say web‐trained "public" genAI engines but understand your position there. And it is very valid in quite a few ways.

Or... they don't understand how LLMs work and are just fascinated at its mimicry as if it were magic. I am coming around to usefulness in various mundane tasks so long as I am not using it as a creative output plagiarism machine.

Real geniuses don't buy Twitter because they made dumb drunk tweets when their wife left them and then ruin it to the point that it loses 75% of the purchase price in value....

I had someone seriously opine about his genius in successful business yesterday to me and I had a challenge keeping from saying, "You mean spending his dad's emerald mine money on already successful businesses and then tanking several of them due to his lack of business acumen?"
