Champion update came out in July

There’s a lot of things that LLMs are really good at, or incredibly useful for, such as ingesting large bodies of text, and then analyzing them based on your ability to create well thought out prompts.

That’s the story people tell at least. The weasel phrase at the end is fun, I guess. Leaves a massive backdoor excuse when it doesn’t actually work.

But in practice, LLMs are falling down even at this job. They seem to have some yse in academic qualitaruve coding, but for summarizing novel or extended bodies of text, they struggle to actually tell people what they want to know.

Most people do not give a shit if text contains a reference to X. And if they do, they can generally just CTRL+F “X”.

See that it’s never going to make money, go public, hand the keys over to someone else, and then try again with a wallet full of cash and a reputation for making billion dollar businesses.

I quit my last job because they pulled us back to the office. That’s going to be a lot harder to do next time becauee of BS like this.

Everyone just has to sit on their hands and strike in-office to drive home the point. Something that’ll never happen in unorganized workplaces.

The Mozilla trick

What’s that? I’m not spending any more money on ZeniMax games? And I’m getting a Margaret Thatcher Doom mod?

What a marvelous day it is!

He’s Etobicoke Ralph Klein. This is his version of drunkenly throwing pennies at the homeless.

How many muscles in his back did he rip from the bone that time?

On the plus side, the province has demonstrated that the work nurses do is worth that much to it. Should be fun pointing that out in contracr negotiations.

“Private” here is being used to mean “private sector”, not “personal”.

Depends on whether the Hulkster is claiming to have written it or not, brother

I want a public fibre network, not for-profit space junk.

But they’re only getting paid for the time a primter would take to print it, because why should she pay for more for less?

"We falsely claim to be society’s bodyguard, and this is how we’re treated? As people you just expect to put themselves in harms way for your safety?

"The fuck is up with that?

“No, I don’t know what a bodyguard does. Why do you ask?”

Oh no. Won’t someone think of the people who are attracted to and hold a state monopoly on violence.

This. One of the points of this whole endeavour is self-hosting, in the name of resisting centralization.

Imagine if Mozilla had hostes its website on Geocities.

And won’t somebody think of the private sector! It just doesn’t have enough control over the public good!

By the way, the spell does not allow for divorce - it’s strictly “till death do us part”.

Which has… consequences

Yeah, uh, so, I used to be a galactic warlord…

Nah. So long they remain the largest comoanies in tech, the FAANG companies have an endless buffet of overconfident and naive new grads to feast on. Entitled kids who will excitedly walk through the door and proudly display their comoany golf shirts to anyone they can trap in a corner while explaining how they’re remaking and reinventing ways to squeeze and manipulate customers in the name of shareholder value.
