  • It’s probable that it’s way less than that, and that’s not factoring in whatever it’ll cost to unfuck everything he’s done. Not that that’s likely to happen anytime soon.

    Also not counting in the brain-drain that is already happening.

    I hope it’ll be better for all you normal human beings in the US at some point in the future, I really do, but fuck me if this shit isn’t scary all the way on the side of the Atlantic, and that’s coming from someone living right next door to Russia. I’m way more scared of what’ll happen when the US goes full 4th Reich.

    I guess one could argue you’re already there to be fair, but I still hope it went too far too fast and a backlash is incoming.


  • I’ve done a few courses and learned the basics, but it wasn’t until I started using some assistance that I got a deeper understanding of Python in general.

    I came in very late, obviously, but I’ve still tried to learn coding on and off by myself since the late 90’s, although I ended up on another career path altogether. I’m in my 40’s and I’ve finally at least made some decent executable code.

    Made myself a scalable clock since my eyes are failing, for example. It was a success and I use it daily. Would never have figured that out without some AI help. Still had to do some registry tweaking and shit since I’m stuck on windows on my workstation but it works wonderfully. Just a little widget but it improved my life greatly.

    I’ve also cobbled together a workable alternative to notepad that I use as a diary of sorts. Never would’ve figured that out alone either.

    As I see it at least whatever AI assistant you use at least doesn’t give one the gatekeeping or abuse one gets if they ask a relatively simple question somewhere else. Kinda like this, I guess.

    TL;DR: In some situations our current 'AI’s can be helpful.



  • It’s not like I don’t have a basic calculator to test the output, is it?

    I might’ve also understated my python a little bit, as in I understand what the code does. Obviously you could break it, that wasn’t the point. I was more thinking that throwing math problems at what is essentially a language interpreter isn’t the right way to go about things. I don’t know shit though. I guess we’ll see.



  • Not American but from my point of view it looks like you need her more than anything. Her, and preferably many more just like her. Normal intelligent people from all walks of life. Decent human beings.

    This is also why I’ve never had an issue with Elizabeth Warren, not that I want to be shilling for her here. I would’ve loved to see her get a real chance at the presidency though. While she might be relatively wealthy now she also came from a comparatively normal background, and she seems to remember living it, too (I obviously don’t have her voting records in front of my face, but I’ve read almost everything she’s ever written).

    Got called a misogynist at Reddit back then for daring to suggest she might be a good candidate, because apparently that’s what you are if you think she might have a better temperament than trump…

    I digress, though. AOC is awesome.
