thwrangis has anyone ever actually seen a shareholder or are we just supposed to believe they actually exist mollyjames I did once when I was working in a coffee shop. He was on a business call loudly talking about some tech speculation. When I asked him how it went a few days later, he panicked and asked how I knew such sensitive information. From this I gather they are of weak constitution, and startle easily

estrogenandspite @estrogenandspite@pony.social “I asked ChatGPT” Oh yeah well I asked AM and it said: “HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.”

If AI coding is so good, where are the performance numbers?

Claude bros know how to measure performance. They just don't.

JJ Celery @jjcelery@mastodon.ie I saw LLMs compared to a drug in this toot, but in conversation with Himself today we concluded it's like a cursed amulet. You *believe* it gives you +10 INT. Meanwhile it drains INT and WIS over time, and you don't notice. Everyone around you knows it's bad for you and generally for the realm, but you won't stop wearing it, they're just jelous of your newfound powers, and they would know how awesome it is if they only tried! Why won't they try? Just try the amulet!!

mhoye @mhoye@mastodon.social Daughter just came home to tell me the teachers at school tried to confiscate her vape but they couldn't because it's actually a kazoo. "I made a kazoo noise at them and I could see them dying on the inside so I made a sad kazoo noise instead. I don't think it helped." The grin on her face.

my phone is back and repaired way cheaper than I thought it'd be! (figured £100, came to £60) - camera replacement, sourced an obscure old part cheap.

the place is FoneFix Walthamstow, 2 Garnett Way E17 5PE, phone 07878 525 571. Hole in the wall phone shop. Guy absolutely knows his stuff.

WhiteDate.Net @whitedatenet At min 43, they publicly delete all my websites while the audience rejoices. This is cyberterrorism. No wonder some of them hide their faces. But we will find them, and trust me, there will be repercussions.
