  • Guy was asking for the rest of the story. Not really that interesting: finished out a month at that company as "handover," got a month severance pay, used those two months to look for a new job. Got one.

  • My dad just got diagnosed with cancer, I just bought a house, I was at a conference in San Francisco and my boss cornered me before the flight home saying i was being laid off. They literally don't care.

  • The mean earnings for OF is $150/month. Meaning it's likely there's a vast majority of people earning $50-100/month, and a vast minority earning $100k/month.

    With props, camera, lighting, editing "costuming" etc, you probably lose money doing it.

  • to me, a non American, it reads just how America is was and will be.

    Americans love guns and extra judicial killings. Their top cultural hits are about cops who break laws, or good men who are driven to kill. Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, Westerns, cyberpunk, buddy cop movies, Die Hard...

  • I won't say AI doesn't have its edgecase uses, and I know people sneer at "prompt engineering" - but you really gotta put as much if not more effort into the prompt as it would to make a dumb if-case machine.

    Several paragraphs explaining and contextualizing the AI's role, then the task at hand, then how you want the output to be, and any additional input. It should be at least 10 substantial paragraphs - but even then you've probably not got a bunch of checks for edgecases, errors, formatting, malicious intent from the user...

    It's a less secure, less specific, less technical, higher risk, higher variable, untrustworthy "programming language" interface that enveigles and abstracts the interaction with the data and processors. It is not a person.
