yes, thank you, I also have access to Google

this is a funny way of spelling "cites sources" and "does basic math"

twister2920··on More than 10 firms pay up to $100k a month for access to Truth Social posts
Reconstruction ended more than 10 years after Lincoln's assassination, he would not have remained in office forever. I think for most Unionists the war was not about abolition or racial equality and there simply was not the political will to make the changes necessary to prevent Jim Crow in the south.
twister2920··on OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining
only if you assume that the ethics department at Raytheon has absolute power over which contracts Raytheon takes and what kinds of products it produces. which is plainly absurd.
twister2920··on Woman pulled over twice after Flock-linked software connected her to homicide
it's not exactly a great time in American history for the 14th amendment
twister2920··on OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining
no need for wild speculation, we know that Raytheon is a US Defense contractor and we know that the US targets civilians (including US citizens) abroad for extrajudicial assassinations, starts destabilizing wars without meaningful strategic objectives, supports genocide etc. These things are all extremely well documented, for those paying attention the existence of Raytheon is inherently unethical
twister2920··on “Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers
if it's verifiable, I'd love for you to verify it. I don't consider hearsay a strong form of verification

> maybe you're just wrong and won't admit it, clutching to your preconceived notions.

I assume in your world this is only something other people do, but your judgement is perfect right?

> Was the Union army complicit in the crimes of the Confederacy by simply allowing them to drop their arms and walk away as well?

yes, they were. the USA if the Unionists has followed through on reconstruction looks like a utopia compared to now

twister2920··on Tech leaders say AI means less work – staff say they work up to 90 hours a week
I think this is undoubtedly true, but I also think not all knowledge work is created equally. A lawyer spending 80 hours reading case files is not really performing a comparable task to a programmer designing and implementing a program
twister2920··on Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength
huh?
twister2920··on “Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers
sure, does your dad also work at Nintendo?
twister2920··on Itadakimasu: A word you say to the food, not the cook
that's a true positive
twister2920··on Force-Fed by ICE
what an absolutely barbaric comment.

> They already do that, hence the SaaSpocalypse

The market believes they will do that, hence the SaaSpocalypse. very important difference

twister2920··on Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength
thank you, nice to put a name to this phenomenon
twister2920··on Western Sahara
nice motte and bailey defense
twister2920··on Western Sahara
All of those regions are colonies or former colonies. The main difference is that Western Sahara is being actively colonized right now whereas all of those regions were colonized 100+ years ago. Falklands were uninhabited before European settlement btw
twister2920··on Meta says AI model accessed the internet and hacked another firm
apropos of nothing I highly recommend "The Palestine Laboratory" by Anthony Loewenstein
twister2920··on France is banning unsolicited telemarketing calls starting next week
selling fentanyl works pretty well too from a business perspective
twister2920··on Discovery Loop
not sure how you got that from a long list of criticisms
twister2920··on Eight Myths on Software Engineering and GenAI
meaningless without telling us what you're working on
twister2920··on Eight Myths on Software Engineering and GenAI
you literally just said you don't review this code!
twister2920··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
y'all have to come up with a better argument than "LLMs are cars"
twister2920··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
this pure speculation. maybe you're right that it's a matter of time but /maybe you're wrong/. neither of us can actually know, because you're making predictions about the future rather than claims about what is true today
twister2920··on 2x, not 10x: coding with LLMs in 2026
did you know that Google Weather has saved locations?

how do you know?

twister2920··on AI doesn't generate working products, that's still your job
well exactly. it's impossible to prove the negative so why don't you actually prove the positive (that AI is driving an increase in productivity) instead of throwing out more personal opinions?
twister2920··on AI doesn't generate working products, that's still your job
you replied to a comment asking what you've successfully launched. it sounds like the answer is "nothing"
twister2920··on AI doesn't generate working products, that's still your job
how many users do you have?

> Citation needed.

that's not where the burden of proof lies buddy. you prove to us where AI has caused a spike in quality, functioning software
