I’ve chuckled in the past about how all my software jobs have offered “dismemberment insurance” as a benefit, since I really don’t think dismemberment is a serious occupational hazard for programmers. But maybe it’s a holdover from earlier days, when those IBM mainframes could rip your arm off as you tried to insert the punchcards.

Went to the showing. Accepted the offer. All I can do now is wait and see what the landlord thinks about my special circumstances. Next week, I will probably know. ALSO LOOK AT THIS DAMN PATIO

Maybe this is a stupid thing to say but why doesn't the nhl facilitate different cap spaces depending on the location of the team? Like would this not even the playing field for all teams so that there are not people avoiding or favouring certain teams due to tax impact

Absolute fucking last straw just happened to me im looking for another job man

[wirbelwindria]

I asked a colleague in a specialized department for her opinion/latest legal verdict to her knowledge in regard to a somewhat complicated matter and received an AI generated answer...

I asked YOU not the stupid LLM; if I wanted AI nonsense, I could've done that myself and I think that's wildly disrespectful tbh

The stupid fucking thing was WRONG because, of course, it was - as I said, it is a complicated matter after all; otherwise, I wouldn't have asked in the first place

But, being wrong is not enough in this instance... said colleague told me, "I asked the specifically designed AI for an answer, and the answer is great!", and I just know that a lot of my other colleagues would've either asked the AI themselves (getting wrong answers and probably wouldn't have checked properly) or would've relied on the specialized department being right when they called the WRONG FUCKING ANSWER a great one without checking the result provided - which, let me reiterate, is so, so, so wrong

I honestly don't know how anyone in their right mind could think that people would go through the trouble of actually checking the stupid LLM once they allowed using it. Of course, if you use it and don't check the answer, you will be the one held responsible, but I don't think that it should be an option in the first place

(also, I checked, despite my loathing of using anything LLM related, and it gets plenty of pretty cut and dry legal questions wrong, too)

I think we could get universal health insurance in America if we advertise it as such:

Income based plan (cost scales based on income)

SUPER SPECIAL SAPPHIRE DIAMOND MOST SPECIALIST CUSTOMER PLAN (exact same coverage, but at a much higher flat price. You get a pretty looking card and get to be smug when you hand it over at the doctor’s office. All the coverage is described in ways similar to the plan name.)

I believe there are enough vain/status chasing people in this country that they could almost fund the income driven plan just from sales of the sapphire plan. It also provides the magical ‘choice’ so many people are obsessed with.
