Kapitanleutnant Hans-Wilhelm Eck was convicted of a war crime at Nuremberg for the same thing.

There is no debating whether it was a war crime. It was adjudicated as such by an international tribunal led by the US for the expressed purpose of seeing that these things not happen again.

Used a BFS for this one, although it looks like even a naive solution (rechecking the entire grid until done) would be fast enough.

Already canceled my Jetbrains subscription earlier this year over the AI shit; now they're raising the prices.

Seems like if they actually believed the AI added value, they'd be offering a discounted no-AI version instead of forcing it into the bundle.

"Well, it doesn't actually help YOU per se. If anything, it has made the entire process slower and WILDLY inefficient. Yes, I hear what you're saying BUT imagine how much money I'll make once the slot machine pays out! Don't you want to be a part of that? No. No, I wouldn't pay you back..."

It's easy to assume that because they're important and everyone they interact with online is important that they must have access to better information, but it's far more plausible that they're more susceptible to conformism and the costs of contesting misinfo are higher due to fears of ostracism.

Pols love to talk about "epistemic bubbles", but who can really afford to maintain that even with the luxury of a smartphone and a data plan? Normal people still have to work to feed themselves, interact with a broad swath of society who they often depend upon. But Clinton-types have no guardrails.

Meanwhile, Epic doesn't think AI slop even merits a warning label

As a matter of survival, our response must be to make it as costly as we can, as ugly and as reputationally damaging and as expensive as we are able to - to abandon and sacrifice trans people.

To keep it from being an easy, simple bottom line decision to drive us out of public life.
