#Yelp is now using your information to train #AI models. They may be selling it to third party AI providers as well.

Time to take down your reviews and shut down your account.

Just thought of a great idea for a reality TV show / youtube channel (this would work way better in the UK, though):

Film a guy in a high-visibility vest walking into a crowded room and loudly announcing "Don't worry, folks. Everything is fine now!", then walking out. Then film their reactions.

After a day and a half of reading documentation to understand some truly novel and foreign concepts in a new language, I have successfully coded a working object-oriented blackjack game in Rust!

Now for something more ambitious...

I've literally seen potential clients list in their job request "must be comfortable coding with #AI."

Why the hell would I be comfortable with AI importing other people's bugs into my codebase and ruining my hard-earned reputation?

Fuck that.

I watched "Band of Brothers" first when I was a teenager. The concentration camp scenes, then, filled me with despair at the heartlessness of those who perpetrated the evil.

I rewatched today. And all I feel now is unbridled fury at the complacent Germans who let it happen right under their noses.

Trying to learn the Rust language for some end-of-year professional development, and this shit is nuts.

Variables are const by default?!
But you can change their *type* by "shadowing" them?!

Balderdash!

"I've been watching [X] on HBO lately; you heard of it?" I asked.

"Home Box Office..." he mused. I immediately knew he hadn't heard of the show, but I also knew that I needed to wait a minute or two for him to rack his memory and figure that out on his own and tell me or I'd be considered rude.
