You may have answered your own question. Perhaps centralization is the point as we move closer to the “extinguish” phase of open source as we have known it.

The hubris of mutating spiritual texts as a marketing gimmick is contemptible.

Maybe “generic and meaningless” is a better descriptor.

I can’t tell if people just don’t understand how ChatGPT works or if there is another reason they are eager to dehumanize themselves and the rest of us along with them.

Thanks. I learned something. Even if passwords are a weak form of security, they add an extra Ayer that would make it much more difficult for an attacker. They don’t have to be the only layer of security, and would still be good as an extra layer on top of hardware keys and/or OS keychains. Very interesting.

I had been about to devote some time to learning Go, but definitely won’t be after these latest developments.

This video about how to wash off poison ivy changed my life. The key is that urushiol acts a lot like invisible motor oil in terms of how it sticks to your skin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oyoDRHpQK0

You can add the Fira ligatures to any font with Ligaturizer. Personally I use it with CMU Typewriter.

> AI can experience the same rabbit-hole effect as your idiot cousin who has watched too many of the algorithmically suggested videos on Youtube and now believes that aliens conspired with a time travelling Elvis to kill Hitler using a bullet made of Yeti teeth. And they only went online looking for TellyTubbies videos.

LOL Thank you, I needed a good laugh!

When I looked into this a little bit, I found Copilot for Business states they do not record any of the info you send them. Though obviously you are still sending out code to a third party. I could not find any info about their policies for “normal” Copilot which I assume means they are recording all the code sent to it and using our code to further train the model.

I suppose this is nit picking, however that is not in the style of a Psalm.

Hey, at least they referenced the (hopefully appropriate) JIRA ticket!

As Chomsky points out, the AIs understand syntax not semantics. Code is all (or almost all) syntax whereas human language has both syntax and meaning. Meaning is not something ChatGPT understands.
