once again: take your abuser bullshit and fuck off, thanks

your post has done a significantly better job of understanding the issue than a rather-uncomfortably-large amount of programming.dev posters we get, and that's refreshing!

and, yep

"just"?

"unfortunately"?

that's a hell of a lot of leeway being extended for what is very easily demonstrably credulous PR-washing

as linked elsewhere by @fasterandworse, this absolute winner of an article about some telstra-accenture deal

it features some absolute bangers

provisional sneers follow!

Telstra is spending $700 million over seven years in the joint venture, 60 per cent of which is owned by Accenture. Telstra will get to keep the data and the strategy that’s developed

"accenture managed to swindle them into paying and is keeping all platform IP rights"

The AI hub is also an important test case for Accenture, which partnered with Nvidia to create an AI platform that works with any cloud service and will be first put to use for Telstra

"accenture were desperately looking to find someone who'd take on the deal for the GPUs they'd bought, and thank fuck they found telstra"

The platform will let Telstra use AI to crunch all the data (from customers

having literally worked telco shit for many years myself: no it won't

The platform will let Telstra use AI to crunch all the data (from customers and the wider industry)

"and the wider industry" ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaahahahahaha uh-huh, sure thing kiddo

“I always believe that for the front office to be simple, elegant and seamless, the back office is generally pretty hardcore and messy. A lot of machines turning. It’s like the outside kitchen versus the inside kitchen,” said Karthik Narain, Accenture’s chief technology officer.

“We need a robust inside kitchen for the outside kitchen to look pretty. So that’s what we are trying to do with this hub. This is not just a showcase demo office. This is where the real stuff happens.”

a simile so exquisitely tortured, de Sade would've been jealous

the prompt-related pivots really do bring all the chodes to the yard

and they're definitely like "mine's better than yours"

artisanal legumist

if you can't make a good post that's a you problem. if people end up poking holes in your shit and you suddenly can't keep your incoherent nonsense together, still a you problem. but:

nonsensically off-the-rails

take your abuser bullshit and fuck right off, thanks

no the worse one

now listen, you might think gnu tools are offensively inconsistent, and to that I can only say

find(1)

hmm, I like that!

and then I guess "promptfarmowner" would be saltman etc?

I never said any of tha

not with your words you didn't

Nice conversation you had right there in your head

that you recognize none of this is telling. that someone else got it, more so.

I assume

you could just ask, you know. since you seem so comfortable fondling prompts, not sure why you wouldn't ask a person. is it because they might tell you to fuck off?

I’ve taken a closer look...

fuck off with the unrequested advertising. never mind that no-one asked you for how you felt for some fucking piece of shit. oh, you feel happy that the logo is a certain tint of

<colour>

That makes it a good tool

a tool you say? wow, sure glad you're going to replace your spins the wheel Punctured Car Tyre with spins the wheel again Needlenose Pliers!

think I’m some AI worshipper, fuck no. They’re amoral as fuck

so, you think there's moral problems, but only sometimes? it's supes okay to do your version of leveraged exploitation? cool, thanks for letting us know

those very few truly FOSS ones

oh yeah, right, the "truly FOSS ones"! tell me again how those are trained - who's funding that compute? are the licenses contextually included in the model definition?

wait, hold on! why are you squealing away like a deflating balloon?! those are actual questions! you're the one who brought up morals!

Otherwise you’ll end up in a social corner filled with bitterness

I've met people like you at parties. they're often popular, but they're never fun. and I always regret it.

There are technologies that are utter bullshit like NFTs. However (unfortunately?) that isn’t the case for AI

citation. fucking. needed.

(I don't mean to take aim at you with this despite how irked it'll sound)

I really fucking hate how many computer types go "ugh I can't" at regex. the full spectrum of it, sure, gets hairy. but so many people could be well served by decently learning grouping/backrefs/greedy match/char-classes (which is a lot of what most people seem to reach for[0])

that said, pomsky is an interesting thing that might in fact help a lot of people go from "I want $x" as a human expression of intent, to "I have $y" as a regex expression

[0] - yeah okay sometimes you also actually need a parser. that's a whole other conversation. I'm talking about "quickly hacking shit up in a text editor buffer in 30s" type cases here

It’s a tool.

(if you persist to stay with this dogshit idiotic "opinion":) please crawl into a hole and stay there

fucking what the fuck is with you absolute fucking morons and not understand the actual literal concept of tools

read some fucking history goddammit

(hint: the amorphous shifting blob, with a non-reliable output, not a tool; alternative, please, go off about how using a php hammer is definitely the way to get a screw in)

My opinion is it can be good when used narrowly.

ah, as narrowly as I intend to regard your opinion? got it

(not in the compute side, but in the lying-obstructionist hustle side)

way too much effort

ah I do believe I have the link for this

example mvp: hook up your linter/LSP/CI-errors-output to buttplug

I, too, segfaulted on this one
