this is apparently the same Oriana Gerez five years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJGZnCy7Muw

it was 2020 and she was already “AI is inevitable”

from particle physics to art scams

(her sound is bad enough I’m not bothering to listen myself and youtube’s transcriber choked on it, but it retains curiosity value)

did he actually contribute anything other than chemists nicking the name “nanotechnology”?

really has turned into Scientology

I should get a green screen for my videos. Suggestions welcomed.

• I can’t leave it up permanently, I need to be able to get it out and put it away each use without it being a massive PITA.
• I record in a small room. It’s tiny and awkwardly shaped and I’m fixed in place by perspective tricks (something I would like the green screen to alleviate).
• Amazon is the least worst vendor in this circumstance if all else is equal.

Any ideas? Do any of you use such a device yourselves?

this comment has a rancid attitude no matter how much civility filler you try to spackle on top

This commenter seems to be missing the point about the point.

reviewing his history, i don’t think this article was actually written by the sort of commie who ends up at finance papers then belatedly remembered to tone it down a bit, but you’d be forgiven for thinking so

quoting that

pile of youtube comments quoting the Beastie Boys

the survey says all sorts of things, it’s true

with a moment’s thought, it should be obvious that they are painfully aware, and with another moment’s thought that that’s where I found this out.

absolutely appalling figuring it out, it really was “it can’t be this stupid, I must be understanding it wrong”

then I got to the bash injection

and the proud “Generated by Claude Code”

and welp

TIL that “Aris Thorne” is a character name favoured by ChatGPT - which means its presence is a reliable slop tell, lol

like the dumbass-ray version of Ballard calling multiple characters variants on “Traven”

what to do with this information

SICP, not SCP

IoM cribs from the ENC, here’s to them cribbing that bit! See if you can get in there …

Tom is a top chap of generally correct opinions

The English national curriculum exposes every child to programming of some sort. 10 years ago it was 8yo kids learning Scratch, all of them.

I posted about it at the time: it turns out scratch is probably the answer, scratch is probably still the answer

in high school maths and computers they learn python.

my kid has no wish to become a professional dev, but can wield python as is useful to them.

OpenAI lasts as long as Masayoshi Son can scam Saudi Arabia. Suddenly my 2027 thesis looks more solid. Fuck.

it’s the most aggressively useless way to add copilot to excel

“I love it!!”
