Not that AI is the most effective representation or that it should replace public defenders, but this doesn’t seem far off from scolding a defendant for using Google to research his arguments.

Profits over productivity. If replacing people with AI, as impractical as it may be, leads to higher profits then CEOs have an obligation to do so. Poverty, sickness, and homelessness are none of their fucking concern.

The other day I asked an llm to create a partial number chart to help my son learn what numbers are next to each other. If I instructed it to do this using very detailed instructions it failed miserably every time. And sometimes when I even told it to correct specific things about its answer it still basically ignored me. The only way I could get it to do what I wanted consistently was to break the instructions down into small steps and tell it to show me its pr.ogress.

I’d be very interested to learn it’s “thought process” in each of those scenarios.

I’m finally starting to pull the trigger on dumping Google (specifically because of this event). For me at least it’s been a combination of, “They’re not that bad,” and, “This is basically like moving to another state.”

The guides I’ve seen lately about what replaces what is a good start but there should really be more in-depth guides for either moving over your data or just how to get started. Just naming alternatives is about as helpful as suggesting “raising chickens” as an alternative to high egg prices.

Disproportionate punishment is another of course. They probably lump pedophiles (a person with a psychiatric disorder) and child molesters (a person that actually harms children) into the same group and you deserve to die for simply thinking the wrong things.

And if you haven’t found any pedophiles yet, well, I guess you’re not trying hard enough. Or maybe… you are one of them… 😠

Can’t believe this needs an /s

It’s a verbose language but I don’t know if there’s any real language that encourages highly readable code beyond low-level syntax. You want to create a God-class in Python with nonsensical variables and 5 levels of nesting? The language won’t stop you.

They want to make buttloads of money from a rewrite, and it would cost buttloads to do this. They probably also want things to run like shit and cause misery for retired Americans.

Other than hardware issues, which someone else mentioned, it has a lot of enterprise-grade functionality that make it more secure and auditable than a lot of other languages. And despite, or maybe because of, its large memory footprint it’s actually faster than most languages.

I totally get any hate about writing Java though. It is a verbose language. Using Kotlin instead helps with that.

Jokes aside, nothing wrong with rewriting in Java. It is well-suited for this kind of thing.

Rewriting it in anything without fully understanding the original code (the fact they think 150yo are collecting benefits tells me they don’t) is the biggest mistake here. I own codebases much smaller than the SSA code and there are still things I don’t fully understand about it AND I’ve caused outages because of it.

Louisianans probably aren’t up in arms because wtf does this even mean? Seriously, you need to spell it out these days.

“When the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.”

Not only that, but their business model doesn’t hold up if they were required to provide their model weights for free because the material that went into it was “free”.

Multiple parties can be guilty at the same time. Negligence from the parents shouldn’t mean the website gets off scot-free. Award the money to suicide prevention organization for all I care but they need to pay up.

Yeah, those last replies are where I, as a juror, would say pay the family. It’s make believe and everything but you’re also intending to make things as real as possible BUT AI only sounds real. It has a limited memory and no empathy (taking words at face value instead of reading between the lines). If this was some cosplayer on Twitch they would’ve clued into his emotional state and tried to talk him down.

Not to say the parents have no blame here. Having an unsecured gun in a house with a child going through therapy is unconscionable.
