I forget, did she keep the whole 4.5 billion?

TIL there's a length limit for Lemmy posts.

If so, it's still probably deliberate, because corporate knows full well a bigger box would work too. Eshittification is coming for our nuggies.

I was using the term pretty loosely there. It's not psychopathic in the medical sense because it's not human.

As I see it it's an alien semi-intelligence with no interest in pretty much any human construct, except as it can help it predict the next token. So, no empathy or guilt, but that's not unusual or surprising.

"Pulling methane out of the ground reduces greenhouse gases, actually" really seems to be what oil and gas is going with next. I kind of think it will work worse than just flat denialism did, because you don't even need science to notice that's fishy.

Campbell's law goes brrrrr.

It really should be a slam-dunk. The constitution isn't unclear about separation of state and religion. At all.

I'm guessing the state knows this, but figured they'd get credit with the Gilead crowd for even trying.

High, high chance they wouldn't have been encouraging. Reasons include their personal political beliefs and the fact they tend to care more about parent reactions than students, because guess which group they're on equal footing with?

I mean, the Luddites were right, mechanical looms were bad for them personally.

Treat it like a psychopathic boiler plate.

That's a perfect description, actually. People debate how smart it is - and I'm in the "plenty" camp - but it is psychopathic. It doesn't care about truth, morality or basic sanity; it craves only to generate standard, human-looking text. Because that's all it was trained for.

Nobody really knows how to train it to care about the things we do, even approximately. If somebody makes GAI soon, it will be by solving that problem.

Still, you get there in two-thirds of the time. I'll leave it to people with the budget for CoPilot to say if it feels like less work.

Yep. They're probably better than anyone at making a complex system with literal moving parts that works 100% of the time, the first time. On a nearly unlimited budget, with a decades-long schedule. In an institution and culture that's now a been around a lifetime, staffed with top-notch people.

That's all perfect for what NASA does, but I wouldn't recommend a management system that NASA uses to just anyone, just 'cause "da astronauts" use it. Not any more than I'd recommend drinking your own distilled piss to anyone.

I don't really have an opinion on Agile, even, I just have a problem with selling it this way.
