  • All the rich have to do is keep raising rent, keep home prices high, and continue lobbying to take our rights away… so far, they have been wildly successful with zero evidence of it slowing.

    The price I’m paying now for a 2 bedroom apartment in the suburbs in a “pretty good” complex is $2200/m. It’s not fancy, just average.

    10 years ago, in the same area, I rented a three story, three bedroom, two car garage townhome for $1500.

    I am making about the same amount of money now than I was then. I’ll take that amount, because more isn’t possible to find right now.

    Minimum wage in my area is ~$16.50


  • Oh, well that explains everything, you are using it wrong.

    A lot of people think that you’re supposed to argue with it and talk about things that are subjective or opinion based. But that’s ridiculous because it’s a computer program.

    ChatGPT and others like it are calculators. They help you brainstorm problems. Ultimately, you are responsible for the outcome.

    There’s a phrase I like to use at work when junior developers complain the outcome is not how they wanted it: shit in shit out.

    So next time you use AI, perhaps consider are you feeding it shit? Because if you’re getting it, you are.










  • You could say the same about social media and the entire internet. Would you choose to regulate that?

    I recall in the mid 90s a group of people on the street corner protesting AOL (America OnLine) and saying the internet should be stopped.

    They may have had a point, but the technology wasn’t to blame for the shit that’s it’s used for.

    The vague way you talk about AI makes be think that you don’t know much about it. what do you use AI for? Is it ChatGPT?





  • It will give you whatever you want. Just like social media and google searches. The information exists.

    When you tell it to give you information in a way you want to hear it, you’re just talking to yourself at that point.

    People should probably avoid giving it prompts that fuel their mania. However, since mania is totally subjective and the topics range broadly, what does an actual regulation look like?

    What do you use AI for?
