“And it’s all thanks to me!”.
Wow, a lot of people presenting hard proof that this joke is actually not based on true events. You rarely see this kind of hard hitting citizen journalism no fediverse. Impressive.

Like the fact that the White House was built by slaves? Do the speeches on the walls talk about that?

Wait, you guys got paid for this??
Sure did! I got 13k. Ka-fucking-ching, baby!
Nice, I’ve got 15! Haley, how about you?
… same, 15k.
Yes, sometimes it’s the opposite. I guess the issue is simply that AI can’t tell between those two. It’s great a big rewrites because it has such a huge context but it will often try to sneak in some things you didn’t ask for or skip some parts because… no one knows why. Then on other occasions it will add tons of code to fix a bug in some extremely unlikely path. It’s very smart and very stupid at the same time.
This is the least impressive one so far.

News@lemmy.world•US urges owners of 720,000 BMW vehicles to park outside over fire risks
17·1 day agoAbout 25 years ago there was this ad in TV that went something like “Do you know what car brand was voted best of 2001? Not Mercedes, not Saab, not even BMW. Mitsubishi!”
To this day I keep thinking how some writer fucked up because all it made me think was that BMW was a great brand. “You’re not going to believe it but they didn’t vote for BMW…”. It should have said “obviously not BMW…”.
That’s it. I just wanted to share my thoughts on an ad that aired 25 years ago.
I’m pretty sure hell has American police, healthcare, justice system, education and public transport. Not sure about the rest.

1·2 days agoI was expecting worse. I’m not that disgusted by something “breaking the symmetry of the White House”. I don’t know, maybe I stopped carrying about American monuments when I realized it’s just another fascist regime? I think the priorities should be:
- Stop supporting genocide, sending people to concentration camps and bombing children
- Make sure your buildings look pretty

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think polaroid cameras or film cameras are gonna make a comeback as the holy grail of evidence in the age of AI and deepfakes?
2·2 days agoThere was a time when pictures didn’t exist and people just had to believe what they were told or read in a newspaper. You know how they verified that those stories were true? They didn’t. How did the world function when everyone could just invent things? Pretty well.

This whole argument usually goes something like: once upon a time, open source was a pure, objective meritocracy. Code was just a utility. Tools were neutral, like hammers or electricity. But now, the SJWs (there’s always venom in the way they say SJW lmao) are making software political and ruining the careful meritocracy by bringing in things like codes of conduct and bringing attention to problematic individuals within the projects.
I stopped reading here. Codes of conduct are not code - you don’t compile it and run it on your CPU. I can download and use software and never know anything about it having CoC or not. The code is neutral.
What’s not neutral is people and the way they organize. People can have agendas and opinions. Don’t join, contribute or donate to projects run by people you don’t agree with. That’s it. The rest of this discussion is just silly.



















Entire movie: “This guy always overtakes on the inside”.
Final race: “OH MY GOD! Is he overtaking on the outside?!? HE NEVER DOES THAT! He is! He is overtaking on the outside!!!”
Yes, it was a Nascar movie.
