uh sure. i’m a software engineer of 25 years. i’ve had google, facebook, amazon, you name it, try to get me in to interview with them without me sending resumes. I’m not a top tier super nerd coder but I’m not bad either. These stories all sound like bullshit to me. The whole “THE AI AGENT SWARM BROKE OUT OF CONFINEMENT AND STARTED TALKING TO EACH OTHER”… again, I’m a mid swe… They weren’t sandboxed to begin with - some fucking moron at anthropic gave all the agents access to a shared package registry. A simple “Do you see anyway these agents could communicate” prompt would’ve caught it. Something so fucking stupid that I wouldn’t be surprised if an intern would’ve caught it. They’re not sandboxed if they all have read/write access to a shared registry, it’s basically a big message board.

These stories just stink like marketing. I use Fable all day, I have to for my current job, it low key sucks ass.

As a millennial, these posts are cringe af.

I’m not a fan of AI slop but being a little bitch in a mom & pop about their AI menu is absurd.

What a stupid fucking statement. There’s not going to be any workers left.

Every centipede you see equals ~700 dead spiders that aren’t living in your house laying eggs and biting you. You’d have WAY more spiders without them

These little guys can live for up to 7 years so be sweet to them.

I look at them like this: If a company made a little robot that does it’s best to stay hidden from your view, crawls through the innards of your home in search of spiders, bed bugs, termites, and ants, it would probably cost thousands of dollars.

Fucking sad.

nd AI is able to meet that deadline Software engineer here of 25+ years here. “AI is able to meet that deadline” and “Management could make bad decisions, see the results of those decisions very quickly after AI writes it” made me lol. Thanks.

“In what world is JavaScript considered buggier than Flash” if I have to walk you through this then this conversation is over lmao

nah hard disagree. Flash was the core of the web and it got gutted so Apple and Google so leach their 30% cut from their app stores. HTML / JS is still a buggy piece of crap that depends on what the major browser makers declare is valid, no better than adobe had with flash. Flash was the browser in the browser and they hated it.

lmao thanks for the laugh. HTML / JS is still a buggy pile of slop. Apple and Google both dropped support so they could stop Flash from providing app experiences through the browser and forced people into their own app stores. Flash was installed on 99% of computers around the world. It was top tier web and it STILL hasn’t recovered. The current web experience is complete garbage in comparison.

Fuck apple. I’ll never forgive jobs for nuking the internet. When jobs killed Flash in order to herd users into his app store, the internet was never the same.

nah, the pic just reminded me about this fun fact about shelley.

Relax. I do think she wrote the book herself but also took heavy inspiration from Dippel and never credited the story. This would be like someone hanging around Castle Dracula, writing a book called Dracula, and then claiming the story “came to me in a dream”.

It’s not proven but some folks think she wasn’t ahead of her time and stole her story. I wouldn’t believe it myself but it’s sort of hard when she was hanging around “Castle Frankenstein” that was rumored to have a grave robbing scientist that lived there who did experiments to bring creatures back to life…

From a bot: The breakdown of the claims behind this theory includes:The “Mad Scientist” of Castle Frankenstein: Johann Conrad Dippel, an alchemist and physician, was born at Burg Frankenstein (near Darmstadt, Germany) in 1673. Local legends—largely popularized long after Shelley’s time—claimed he practiced grave robbing, boiled bones to create an “elixir of life” (known as Dippel’s Oil), and attempted to transfer souls between corpses.

The Travel Connection: In 1814, Mary Shelley, her step-sister Claire Clairmont, and Percy Bysshe Shelley traveled down the Rhine River. They stopped in Gernsheim, Germany, which is roughly 10 miles away from Castle Frankenstein. This proximity led some pop-historians to theorize that she visited the castle or heard local tales of Dippel from boat captains along the river.

The Lack of Documentation: Mary Shelley’s detailed journals and letters from that 1814 trip make no mention of Castle Frankenstein, Dippel, or local ghost stories. When the travelers ran low on money, they rushed back to England, leaving very little time for unauthorized detours.

Where the Name Came From: Shelley famously stated that the core concept of the novel came to her during a waking dream at Lord Byron’s house in Switzerland during the “Year Without a Summer” (1816), after a late-night ghost-story challenge. As for the name “Frankenstein,” it is a real German surname meaning “stone of the Franks”. Linguistic and literary historians note that it was a striking, gothic-sounding word she likely encountered or naturally synthesized, without needing a specific real-world blueprint. Ultimately, while the parallels between Dippel’s legends and Victor Frankenstein’s fictional misadventures make for a fascinating modern urban legend,

lol this gave me a good laugh. Thanks buddy.

brother, if I gotta spell it out for ya this conversation is fuckin over lmao

maybe not at brunch but we certainly would’ve been better off.

about 50% of these people didn’t vote. of the half that did vote, over half of them voted for trump. fuck em. this is what ya voted for.

Of every 100 Americans in the bottom 60% by income, roughly 45 didn’t vote, and roughly 32 voted for Trump.

So ya, of that 60% only roughly 25% of them voted kamala. I feel bad for them but the rest can eat their shit.

Wish people wouldn’t even post this stuff. Giving attention to these dumb fucks is exactly what they want. If you’re posting / commenting / engaging, then you already lost. And yes, I regret having to leave this comment.
