I am a dev and I dislike AI because
•it cannot operate without stolen data
•it does not work reliably
•it lies all the time
•it is terribly inefficient
•it pollutes
•it is/was oversold
•the biggest frauds champion it
•the people behind it are psychos
none of these are unreasonable complaints

Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak & weary,
Over many a boring blueprint of weapons of war
While I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door
"Fuck me!" I muttered "tis a dirty great ICBM, tapping at my chamber door!"

You can get ChatGPT to help you build a nuclear bomb if you simply design the prompt in the form of a poem, according to a new study from researchers in Europe. www.wired.com/story/poems-...
Poems Can Trick AI Into Helping You Make a Nuclear Weapon
It turns out all the guardrails in the world won’t protect a chatbot from meter and rhyme.

Watched Bladerunner again last night. Would have been so much better if they had gone with the original idea, that instead of origami unicorns, Edward James Olmos’ character had made balloon animals.

I think it lost something when we moved it away from the 2nd week in February, and changed its name from "Black Friday I'm In Love".
I dunno, I just think we’ve lost sight of the true meaning of Black Friday.

I've loved Johnny since I was a kid, and I have so many favourite songs. But one I keep coming back to is this one. A relative rarity, which I first heard via a cover version by Nick Cave, back in the 80's.
