Yes but that’s not the biggest problem. Selfishness is the biggest problem as far as relationships are concerned. Every Republican I’ve ever known has this attitude that their view of things, which is invariably biased in their interests, is the only possible correct one and that anyone who disagrees is both extremely dumb and morally inferior. With friends this is not the biggest problem because you don’t have to share stuff with them. In a relationship though, it becomes really problematic fast.

Very frequently, yes. As well as closed source code and intellectual property of all kinds. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.

Non-billionaire controlled so far. It’s a public benefit corporation, which is vulnerable to being Altmaned. Once it becomes valuable money will find a way.

As I use copilot to write software, I have a hard time seeing how it’ll get better than it already is. The fundamental problem of all machine learning is that the training data has to be good enough to solve the problem. So the problems I run into make sense, like:

1. Copilot can’t read my mind and figure out what I’m trying to do.
2. I’m working on an uncommon problem where the typical solutions don’t work
3. Copilot is unable to tell when it doesn’t “know” the answer, because of course it’s just simulating communication and doesn’t really know anything.

2 and 3 could be alleviated, but probably not solved completely with more and better data or engineering changes - but obviously AI developers started by training the models on the most useful data and strategies that they think work best. 1 seems fundamentally unsolvable.

I think there could be some more advances in finding more and better use cases, but I’m a pessimist when it comes to any serious advances in the underlying technology.

I used to be open to dating Republican women, Then I actually dated one. Now I’m no longer open to dating Republican women.

Yes I do think it was championed by conservative people. And if that statement pisses anyone off, my evidence is that Fannin County GA, where this took place, voted 82% for Trump. It’s almost as if the whole “government overreach” thing is just empty marketing for policies that make rich people richer…

Imagine if there was a hack so bad that it caused everyone to become unable to develop in C and C++.

Classic “let’s just make the cure worse than the disease” mindset among security enthusiasts.

Politically-motivated tea tax, what could go wrong?

I think this is intended as satirical but given the multitude of illogical reasons some give for supporting Trump it’s hard to tell.

Sunk cost fallacy is definitely a subtype, but I’m going for I guess the more general concept of an idea that becomes more popular the worse it does
