Did they get paid for their work? Or did their employer keep part of their pay while engaging in wage suppression?

"But that's illegal!" Yes. It doesn't matter because wage theft is the largest class of theft in the US. If nobody stops you, is it actually illegal?

We're like, sooooo dangerous! It's scary! Give us money to make the scary AI stop!

That doesn't make it any less bad

My favorite IPv4 schema is a uint32. Lots of squinting and head scratching every time it pops up

Refusing or being unable to understand the problem does not mean there is no problem.

Sure, if you discount the glaring wide open loophole your argument is perfectly airtight.

You might want to double check your math because one bit is roughly one eighth of a byte, not half.

> A city council member trying to balance a budget isn't engaging in corruption by choosing the option that reduces an expense in the city budget, even if it just places the cost on the people

Sounds like a pretty solid definition of corruption to me. Siphon private individuals' money into a corporation instead of using public money to offer public services.

Same way that starting a trade war and destabilizing the global economy helps the US.

Someone needs to still keep making the "literally everything else" chips in the world. I'd rather it be an old name like Infineon instead of them handing their entire business to China in favor of chasing a bubble.

The nonsensical "I brute force checked it" paragraph is 100% Claude. Nobody writes like that, and no human ever includes this level of irrelevant reassuring detail.

Distinction without a difference. My consciousness, my sense of self continues uninterrupted. There's no meaningful difference to me. You might care, but your opinion has zero weight on my own opinion of who and what I am.

One fudamentally cannot know the mind of another. Your opinion is based on incomplete observation and assumptions. Your insistence that a digital copy isn't me holds as much weight as the assertion that you aren't real because you exist only as text on my screen.

Meat isn't magical. There's nothing supernatural about a brain. It's all clockwork machinery all the way down.

A digital copy of a mind is no less alive than your children. They are, after all, nothing more than lossy copies of yourself.

There's a growing sentiment in the US that capitalism in general and consumerism in particular are inherently bad and cause only hardship and exploitation for the general public.

Yeah, that seems like a perfectly natural response to the corporate capitalist hellscape the rising generations find themselves in.

Shock horror, people tend to care most about things that they feel personally affect them.

CEOs regularly lie in public with zero consequence.

You do know that this kind of doublespeak is because of advertising, right? Without advertisers we would not have the word "unalive".

Debian is the only sane answer.

Well, I do use Arch on a lot of my VMs but still.

Apt-get shows you ads for Ubuntu Plus or whatever it's called

Companies survive longer when you buy from them

You can have an interposer charge controller. It isn't complicated. Many/most cells in consumer products already have one.

And that isn't sustainable. The market will collapse into a small number of players, in exactly the same way that literally every other market has.

I just fell Claude "there's an LLM server on this port serving this model, use it as a subagent"

Claude will write some scripts to call the LLM API and use it like any other tool.

I haven't found a pressing need for anything more complex than that. My multi-agent setups tend to be a pile of bespoke scripts per project anyway, an MCP server is only gonna get in the way. But I suppose this is because I self-host the models, if you're using OpenRouter or whatever it may need more complexity than a curl call to an unauthenticated port

Like.... apt-get?

The name alone (single word, seemingly punchy, meaning utterly divorced from anything relevant) tells me this is an AI project. The copy on the website does nothing at all to dissuade me of this notion.

Make better comments

They can't climb all surfaces. They especially can't climb on dirty and dusty surfaces or crumbling paint.

But more than that, they fell into the hole without leaving a pheromone trail to follow back to the nest. Without that, they have no way of navigating. Only random exploration could get them back out, and that would only help one ant at a time.

Certainly, but not in any meaningfully sustainable sense. Entropy rules all. Only a fraction of energy and nutrients are recoverable from food. And once an organism spends energy, it's gone forever.

Without a continuous external supply of food, the colony will starve in short order.

All knowledge storage and retrieval is lossy. Oral histories are lossy. Lectures are lossy. On on one mentorships are lossy, writing or reading a textbook is lossy.

What's your point?

Reminds me of using Microsoft flight simulator to practice crashing into skyscrapers
