Well, I am a dev that (so far) has apparently sucked at using AI, and is interested in the reasons for that, at least while some people are still loudly praising that AI tailor’s genius.

I know - I’ve had whiskeys in dive bars that cost as much as some of those entrees.

I’m not bad at communication, often acting as a tech intermediary for design/product teams, and I have a lot of problems getting AI to do things, at least bigger things, starting from scratch.

I don’t get as much done when using it, and I feel like it’s The Emperor’s New Programming paradigm.

You need to head uptown to Masa for that kind of thing.

And Omen is a noodle restaurant, not a sushi restaurant.

I used to live across Thompson street from there. It’s a normal nice restaurant, good food but not an outlier on price or luxury.

okay, folks, i got my phone bill paid but i still need like $400 USD to pay for our badly overdue internet before it gets turned off on the 29th, and we're probably going to need help with rent again too (which is like $1200 USD). So if you want to help, CashApp is $AdrienneLeigh or PayPal is below.

Pay Utilitarienne using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/utilitarienne and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Or any number of other movies, tv shows, or video games. And he got this in a group, so neither did any of his friends.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, since a bunch of FAA Part 101 deals with making such balloons visible and/or its location known.

Matt Van Candy Corn 🎃🦇 @mattvanhorn.com · 16h

Ah, yeah - makes sense.

It sounds like the company was obeying all the relevant laws at the time.
But also, while the payload is small, and the whole thing is only about 1kg, all the balloon parts of weather balloons I've seen are pretty big and shiny.
How do you not notice one before slamming into it?

Well said.

Matt Van Candy Corn 🎃🦇 @mattvanhorn.com · 21h

Yeah, I can see that, but I can't imagine in all the time since, neither he nor the other guys that got that with him ever found out what it meant.

Because if I had one, and found that out, I'd call all my buddies that got it with me, and we'd make a group coverup appointment.

Even my autocorrect is doing shit like this. I am in the middle of typing a perfectly cromulent word and it autocompletes it to something else before I even get to the space bar.

You sound like you don’t believe it is completely intentional, even after all this ::waves around::.

Can we get this tattooed on Jeffries’ and Schumer’s faces? In reverse, so they can read it in the mirror.
