Didn’t they roll their own version of it?
There was a recent theft in a European museum. Smash and grab of jewels and coins with a hammer. They didn’t have a metal detector or any real security there.

The word “gate” was used.

In the novel I believe they have some weird telepathic abilities due to size of their heads or ridges on them or something.

I googled the ovens used by my local pizza joint and they were 25K each and there were two of them.
So it’s only war if it’s declared war? I guess this is peace then.
So it’s involved in wars.

We used to smoke clove cigarettes. They would crackle with oil when you inhaled.
Right so now we need a workflow to do something as simple as looking back a few pages. I know it’s necessary but it’s definitely a regression.
What’s annoying is when you want to look back at something earlier in the book. Then you have to use the clunky search and hope you don’t lose your current place.

My feeds are full of ads by gaming pc makers now renting out gaming pcs for a monthly fee. NZXT calls it a lease with a 2 year refresh.

Throw a chess board on there. See how it does. It always gets pieces and positions completely wrong because it’s terrible at analyzing images.

They will be serfs reliant on US and Chinese models to provide protection for their technological infrastructure from AI exploits.
Read enough posts on LinkedIn and you’ll be a trained expert in spotting that slop.
Re:You Don't Align an AI, You Align with It on Thursday May 14, 2026 @08:28PM (#48142999)
Of course I think. I have 20 years of coding experience and knowledge of the codebase and business. That’s why I’m keenly aware of how strange the process is.

What I’d like to know is how you’d train a monkey to read and judge output from an llm on a pull request.

Re:You Don't Align an AI, You Align with It on Thursday May 14, 2026 @06:58PM (#48142370)
I feel like it’s changing my brain. A colleague uses AI to make some code change and submits a PR. I use AI to evaluate the PR. It’s like AIs talking to each other with humans serving as conduits or connectors. Sometimes I’ll look up from the screen and realize how strange it is.
I have an old kindle keyboard I keep around for nostalgia that still works. I’m guessing this will be affected. Hoping I can still add books via usb

Re:Reading Neuromancer for the first time in 2025 on Sunday July 13, 2025 @10:57AM (#44550876)
The sequels got really strange and focused on voodoo god personas sort of running things. I probably read Neuromancer once a year just to revisit the place and always try to give the sequels another go but they just don’t grab me like the original did.
