If it can generate porn, it can do so because it was explicitly trained on porn. Therefore the system was designed to generate porn. It can't just materialize a naked body without having seen millions of them. they do not work that way.

What accumulation of knowledge? LLMs are marketed as "democratizing" (I hate this term) software development specifically by claiming to remove the need for knowledge.

Software development hasn't been democratized. The term doesn't even make sense. Anyone could learn whatever using the same resources as anyone else. I would (and have, in the past) gladly teach anyone who asks me to. And most of my friends would too. The fact that non-devs couldn't write code was not because devs were gatekeeping, but because they didn't want to learn. And they still don't.


A tool is something I can tightly control. A thing that may or may not work today, and if it does, might stop working tomorrow when the model gets updated without any notification to anyone, the output of which I have to very carefully scrutinize anyway, is not a tool. It's a toy.

Telegram is even more insecure than pretty much any other alternative.

They said they were investigating how it happened...

I can understand, my software randomly mutates itself all the time! /s


"change symbols based on line absolute number. && on even lines AND on odd."

I'd make that so it's on even significant lines of code.

So you can't just leave a blank line to leave the rest of the file syntactically correct.

And of course enforce no braces on single line bodies, and enforce the first brace to be on the next line as the if/for/whatever statement (so that the parity of the SLOC number changes if a single statement body turns into a two statement body)


A private blockchain is an oxymoron. The point of a blockchain (as it's understood by the crypto world, at least) is for it to be publically readable by anyone.

A private blockchain is just a database.


You cannot be profitable unless the service you rely on is also profitable. You might make some profits during their honeymoon period, but then they will squeeze you by the balls pretty soon and force you to enshittify as well.

WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI...


For my personal projects, which are under zero time constraints, I usually build an ugly version, to figure out the kinks. Then delete it and write a proper one using the lessons I learned the first time.
