How hard is it for an American family with two “desirable” skill sets (we’re both software engineers) to emigrate to Denmark? Asking, uh.. for a friend.
Ugh, same exact boat here. Thankfully my partner jumps on the grenade and browses the local FB content and then relays the important/interesting info to me, though :)
I’ve implemented two features at work using their api. Aside from some trial-and-error prompt “engineering” and extra safeguards around checking the output, it’s been similar to any other api. It’s good at solving the types of problems we use it for (categorization and converting plain text into a screen reader compliant (WCAG 2.1) document). Our ambitions were greater initially, but after many failures we’ve settled on these use cases and the C-Suite couldn’t be happier about the way it’s working.
Maybe not the most manipulative, but it’s the first thing to come to mind..
When I was 21 years old, I was dating a delightful lush who was 19 and it was a bummer that we couldn’t go out drinking together. So, I found a marriage certificate online, put our names on it and printed it out, then copied it. We also went to a department store and spent $20 on a convincing cubic zirconia ring. We pretended to be married because my state’s antiquated laws consider wives to be property of husbands in this regard, so voilà! We could now go out drinking together! And boy did we, haha.
If AI was reliable, maybe. MAYBE. But guess what? It turns out that “advanced autocomplete” does a shitty job of most things, and I bet false positives will be numerous.
We agree that he failed to achieve much that he (ideally) should have. It’s easy to sit at our computers and type out a bunch of ambitions for Biden, but never having been president myself, I’m not really in a position to dish out hard-nosed criticisms of the man. Everyone is forced to work within certain frameworks that are usually invisible or poorly communicated to the world at large. Every democrat is forced to pick up and duct tape the pieces of rubble blown up by the previous republican president. All I said was that he did do many good things, and I stand by that.
To be fair he’s done a lot of great things. Definitely dropped the ball on a bunch of stuff, but it’s not fair to say he’s just been drooling all this time.
Last year I placed two dozen or so pumpkins around my property and got up on the roof and started shootin with my AR until the neighbor called, claiming some maniac was on my roof shootin a gun so I went inside cuz that sounded pretty spooky smh can’t have nothin nice no more
I got auto-banned after commenting on a reddit post because the bot searched my entire post history and found I had commented on NSFW threads in the past! The extra fun part was that I really hadn’t. The NSFW threads were from subs that had turned that flag on for all posts out of protest for Reddit’s closed API debacle. In short, exactly as you describe. Intending to quash the revolution.
Hmph. I spend ten minutes making a stupid meme using this ridiculously opaque phone markup app, only to be immediately downvoted. This is what I get for trying to elevate the quality of political discourse.
STRONGER THAN YOURS INNIT MATE??
