I wonder if there is a tool that could equally waste their time. Like the worlds most pedantic code review bot that just gets the PR raising bot to spin wheels forever.

That might teach those people a lesson.


Is that not still malicious?

Those people should be banned from using the civilized internet, their intent or at least their effect is harm - that is the important bit.

If they managed to get in, find some resource they could access, they would do it. Those people don't deserve to be on the internet.


Don't agree with you. The agent looked to be malicious at various points. Screwing with people who wish you to do harm is principally correct.

If possible I would have contacted AWS with this and tried them to get rid of the discount because the person was at fault here.

What a cathartic read. I'm so sick of humans giving me AI slop to read without them reading it first. I just ignore them when they do this, but if I could cause them to really internalise a lesson I would love it.


Yeah, this is 100% the case - while not a FAANG I worked at a moderately large tech company in the UK and it was astonishing how slow everything moved, but people were always getting promoted. I eventually left because every project took about 10x the effort it should have.

The stock price went down 20% during the time I was there, and I could see why - it took months to ship a tiny button.

I work with a lot of ex-FAANG now and they haven't had much of a chance to do impactful things. I've heard a lot of "I was responsible for the reporting function on this dashboard that's 10 clicks deep on Google Play"

I do think Layoffs, while obviously very sad for those involved, were needed.


One of the "huh, didn't expect that to work" moment was getting GLM 5 to make me a user space driver for the Nintendo Switch Pro 2 Controller on Ubuntu.

When you plug it in, the device is recognised, but press any button and it attempts to start the pairing process. Then using evtest nothing is coming through.

That^ was pretty much my prompt too, and 10 minutes later I have a working driver with systemd unit so it works through restarts. Amazing stuff!


We have all the AI tools you could bare to mention, but we still don't have anyone but programmers shipping things.

Why aren't the designers and PMs shipping things if these tools are so good?


I don’t know about your co but at my job we very much have non SWE shipping their own (mostly garbage) apps

If you listen closely to UK cabinet ministers you can intuit that they are being horse whispered into handing over vast sums of taxpayer money to firms for AI who are promising solutions to the productivity gap (chasm?) that the UK is plagued by.

I can say with certainty lots of money will be spent, and the gap will not be filled. I would bet my life on it.


> there's no dictionary in there

Someone has clearly never gone rooting around the model files for a pytorch model before.


Copilot brand is tarnished, so time to bung everything under MAI?

Maybe the next Windows update will change This PC back to MAI Computer. ;)

If I buy the SpaceX stock it's 100% certain to go down. If I don't buy it it will rocket to the moon.

Is there some sort of way I can positively monetise this?


Keep buying single shares slowly so it keeps going down. Once it reaches $0, buy the rest for free and asset strip.

asset strip to the moon, literally

I think it's actually 100% certain to go up no matter what, at least in the near term. In today's market, it doesn't matter what a company is worth or how much money they make or lose. All that matters is what global attention share they make up. How many people are thinking about them at any given time. Money flows where attention goes.

Yeah, I think it’ll go up for this reason. I will not be buying any shares, the company is insanely overvalued and hides terrible businesses. Elon is better the farm on AI in space, and if that doesn’t work things will not end well. Problem is, it reads as a post-hoc rationalisation not a long term plan.

attention truly is all you need

Buy it both long and short, then it’ll just hold steady !

Well since SpaceX will be included in the SP500 and Nasdaq100 you'll buy it even if you don't want it.

Package your portfolio as a reverse index fund.

100% wrong is a valuable indicator too!


> If I buy the SpaceX stock it's 100% certain to go down. If I don't buy it it will rocket to the moon.

The answer is clearly to buy stocks and then short it.
