It can point you in a direction, for sure, but sometimes you find out much later that it’s a dead-end.

I’m convinced that Linux’ mere presence has already stymied the development of the worst possible technocractic nightmare. I shudder to think of the thick tech-chains that would bind us if there was not an anchor/reference point… or if there was not even the small contingent that knows what it is like to use a liberating platform.
When you stare into the AI, the AI stares back at you.
It’s just Diablo… the new fully-immersive experience.
True for digital goods THEY are supposed to own, but also consider how dominated we are with OUR digital property. I have witnessed how readily tech giants will abuse their position, abuse the power of defaults, weaponize psychology, and feign deletion… even against my lowly grandma. They think nothing of effectively stealing one’s digital photos, using them for their own purposes, and giving them to the police, so they can destroy your life and your dog.
Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.
There are no ints in the void, only… death…
Yeah! Just like water’s “wetness” problem. It’s kinda fundamental to how the tech operates.
Move over Scottish lord scheme, now you can own a bit of torrent!
And so the straight-jacket tightens a bit more…
This seems to be a pattern. Govts flex over tech companies, techs blackout a country instead of complying, repeat.
You might be obligated to call it a “hell-hound”, though…
Sometimes NYC sounds like a 3rd world country.
Kinda makes one not want to become dependant on google products.
What about “angry robot demands ink sacrifice”?
Obviously… use an LLM that does that for you and magically removes those sticky legal/plagiarism issues. /sarcasm
This is the experience of a senior developer using genai. A junior or non-dev might not leave the “AI is magic” high until they have a repo full of garbage that doesn’t work.
