Grumpy Northerner ex-🇬🇧, now in 🇳🇱 where there are fewer Brexiters, TERFs and other fascists [citation needed]. Spends most waking hours swearing at computers. Thank Cthulhu for beer! Got a Rust 🦀 or other gig which is not crypto/AI/other-scam-of-the-week? Ping me.
Account is only locked to keep out bots etc, and follow requests from humans are almost always accepted, even if I don't know you. Try not to look like a spambot.

I was looking at this and thinking "that is such a Dutch picture!" But then saw those scary lumpy things in the background, what are they called, "hulls", "mountings"? I forget, as it's been so long since I saw one…

But only Crash reliably had those homoerotic Oliver Frey covers for queer teenagers who were confused thanks to Section 28.
As is rather obvious by now, GenAI is popular amongst thick and lazy people who can't do anything useful but still want to claim to have built something.
But what if you are so thick and lazy that you that even merely writing a prompt is just too much? No worries, because there's an AI-powered service which can generate prompts for you: https://docsbot.ai/tools/prompt/ai-prompt-generator.
BRB, I'm just off to build a tool to generate prompts to feed into this prompt generator, for the terminally thick and lazy. Please shower me with trillions of dollars for this brilliant idea.
An AI is now posting flyers around New York, looking for work. I walked past this and had to stop. “Ava.” Detail-oriented business development representative. Passion for building meaningful connections. Tear-off tabs with her number. We spent the last decade being told to optimize our LinkedIn, quantify our impact, strip ourselves down to bullet points and keywords so an algorithm would notice us. Now the algorithm is out here competing for our attention with the real desperation of a paper flyer and a face that doesn’t exist.

Better that than a DE-68051 which makes SCSI cables look like a walk in the park.
(Also, plus points for getting the correct shell size code "E" and not calling it a DB-3.)
