It was the Roman ruler, Biggus Dickus.

Various individuals no doubt figured it out independently and then others in their tribe learned it from them. At first people probably took burning material from forest fires and brush fires that had been caused by lightning.

The exact definition of vibe coding varies with who you talk to. A software dev friend of mine uses ChatGPt every day in his work and claims it saves him a ton of time. He mostly does db work and node apps right now, and I’m pretty sure the way he uses ChatGPT falls under the heading of vibe coding - using AI to generate code and then going through the code and tweaking it, saving the developer a lot of typing and grunt work.

Yes. Yes it is.

Was Ted the 1 vote or was he in Cancun for the roll call?

In other news, tech firms propose new idea for lucrative government contracts.

In this picture see people wearing just what they need, what their culture and friends say they should wear, and what they think their Invisible Friend whats them to wear.

Accused???

Well alrighty then, I hereby accuse the operators of donaldjtrump.com of piracy! Anybody else notice any piratical activity? Foxnews.com seems pretty fishy.

But then aren’t people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?

I agree with those ideas too.

The way to return democracy to the people is to limit the involvement of money. First step is to repeal “Citizens” United, the law that officially sold the US government to corporations and the wealthy under the guise of Freedom (as usual). Second, organizations (including but not limited to corporations) should be outright banned from political compaign contributions. Organizations aren’t citizens. They can’t vote. They shouldn’t be allowed to pour money into elections.

I heard there’s 104 days of summer vacation, til school comes along just to end it.

Not saying it’s unreasonable to err on the side of caution in opposing anything Trump does, but the move to end birthright citizenship is aimed at the automatic citizenship granted to anyone born on US soil, and anyone born anywhere with at least one American parent. The goal is to suppress non-white voting by invalidating citizenships for people MAGA considers “foreigners”. Most Americans were born in America to American-born parents, and have nothing to worry about unless MAGA tries to redefine citizenship at the Constitution level.

I see nothing wrong with making sure people who vote are citizens, what I object to is kicking actual citizens off the voting roles because they’re not Republicans.

I see this as the 2025 equivalent of the entertainment industry’s collective backlash against Napster back in the day. The issue will probably be decided by courts and legislatures, as before, and that legal decision will be transmuted into fierce morality, as before. The major difference is that in 1999 the legal combatants were a whole industry vs a handful of software developers and basically Lawrence Lessig, whereas with AI they’re all corporations with tons of money at stake. So the outcome could easily be very different this time, and our crowdsourced moral standards could follow suit.

“geriatrics reliving the past glory of the 60’s” ?

I get that saying anything positive about boomers is pretty much against the rules of social media, but for fuck’s sake dude, you’re talking about people who are out there actually trying to do something for the world instead of thumb-typing nihilism into their phones. No respect at all?

Hearts

Too many people’s idea of activism now is to rant on social media and downvote all the bad thoughts. “I’m raising awareness!”

No dude I’m not under that impression, and I’m not going to take an quiz from you to prove I understand how LLMs work. I’m fine with you not agreeing with me.
