So I tell this AI-curious dev how LLMs repeatedly hallucinate the same imports, and how exploits have been distributed under commonly-hallucinated library names.

And the guy says

mofo says

That would be a problem for juniors, but I'm a senior dev, so I know to check whether the libraries resolve.
Tonight's AI discussion was with a cuz who has a contract review position (non-lawyer) and was gently mocking old me for not diving in. How do you know it's summarized the contract correctly? says I. "I read the contract" says they. Then, realizing, says "well I skim it." Aye, you skim it, do ya lol
This new wave of AI bros is weirder than usual. They seem to be trying to tie AI to Ozempic (?), comparing the power of AI to GLP1 (???) and complaining that Bluesky is anti-Ozempic and anti-AI (??????).

Are they really out of talking points?

Genuinely, the last decade has proven that these schools *do not* have standards.

Prestigious schools are neat! They offer students opportunities (ok not just networking, I mean academics and enrichment) that public schools do not!

And they clearly! Will admit! And then emit! Rich turnips!
Secretary Pete Hegseth, a Princeton graduate, was unable to comprehend that photographs create mirror images of their subjects. Here's why affirmative action has lowered the standards of Ivy League admissions.

Not to downplay the destructive potential of LLMs, but this is not a space that will be made worse by technicolor fakery. Plagiarism and lies already make it too risky to try things from untrusted authors.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Great new-to-me word: Precariat. The segment of the population experiencing financial precarity.

Which is practically everyone most of us will ever meet. A $400k/yr household can't save their way to true safety against medical and tort liability.
I feel like the term of art here I rarely see used is Precariat

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

I have to stay friendly with my neighbors, but the critical thinking bits are missing from their brains and there's no way to prepare for what comes out of their faceholes.

One of them is a brilliant engineer who recently waxed rhapsodic about the love he saw for Franco in Spain in the early 70s.
I really am just posting this for myself as a reminder that as bizarre and horrifying/funny I find all Trump's weird Truth Social posts, to his followers it's just...the news.

Fuck.
