An argument doesn’t have to be all-encompassing to be effective. This is arguing against the enshittification caused by and unavoidability of AI for the average end user. It doesn’t have to list everything wrong with AI for that to be valid.
Frankenstein’s monster’s monster 😏
I spent half the movie worried she wouldn’t go back for the cat.
Becomes especially poignant during an earthquake
This has always been true, but LLMs have expedited the process by taking the garbage out and sticking it right back into the input.
Yeah, or more specifically “God and I,” since monarchs were ostensibly the mouthpiece of God.
It’s honestly pretty incredible how much English propaganda survived the war. I still hear people claim English fighter pilots were orange because of all the carrots they ate to improve their night vision, which was a myth created by the English to keep the Germans from realizing they’d figured out radar.
Funny thing is, 10 minutes sounds like hyperbole, but after they crossed the line that’s internationally recognized as the edge of space they only spent 3 minutes there before returning.
Yeah at first that’s what I thought the headline was referring to
I want a version of chess where if you’re down enough material, you have the opportunity to take out half your opponent’s pieces

It’s all a matter of preference anyway (assuming you have both options anyway). CLI is less intuitive and takes longer to learn, but can be wicked fast if you know what you’re doing.

It depends on what your use case is and how you prefer your work flow. The only dumb move is judging how other people like their setup.
“What about DropBox? It’s this recent startup…”
Man, sometimes I forget how long xkcd’s been going
All that and invented Morris code. That cat was one of our finest military minds.
Tbf the wording in OP’s post suggests it might be intentional.
Side note, anyone who doesn’t get the reference, here’s an animated version of Tim Minchin’s beat poem Storm. It’s only about 11 minutes long and very entertaining, especially for anyone who appreciates a scientific approach to the unknown. It’s been around for a while but seems more poignant today than ever.
