#tech bro hell

[delphictrip]

Yeah so the tech nerds aren't lying about the silly tech names, apparently i was prevented from a timely clock-in this morning by

"the mongo database"

[lesbinewren]

not surprising but still wild that google added an ai feature to the very top of every single searches that gives incorrect information more often than not. like a beloved restaurant that randomly starts topping all of their food with cyanide one day for no reason. no you’re not allowed to ask them to not top your dish with cyanide this is the future of food

Imogen: the watching comprehension of this Ruby vanguard is piss poor

Ludinus: how dare you say we piss on the poor?

Ever think about how Batman is technically Bruce's fursona? Yeaaaaaaa.

I’ve just hc Tech as an absolute menace at this rate

My boy is disrespectful and steals from any and everyone (not kidding either. Bro has stolen a lightsaber before, I’m not hearing otherwise.)

TBF though- Chaos Tech is an absolute delight

Also gotta get this out there- I simply adore the idea that the batch are actually still kiddos. The amount of AUs I have where they’re just traumatised little gremlins trying to live.

Only time they aren’t children is when Tech has a relationship with Phee

But every other time?

Kiddos. 100%.

Works hand in hand with my Chaos Tech

He’s tiny, he’s Chaos, and if he gets caught, he’s the precious darling in tears.

we are truly trapped in a special hell run by econ bros

literally forgot that my body could do things for so long. now im (tentatively) singing again and trying 2 dance a bit in the bathroom mirror at 3am and learning how to kick the shit out of my brother's punching bag. we r so back babes.

I've been working through RtDL DX's Extra Mode fairly slowly, so I'm only just getting close to finishing it up now. I got all 120 Energy Spheres earlier today, and uhhhhhhh

Fun fact: This dialogue is entirely new to DX! It's not in the original. I went back to my old file on the Wii and checked.

Haha yeah you little shit, we know you're planning to betray us soon (still love you though <3)

WHAT THE FUCK????????

EXCUSE ME????????

And then he goes on to explain a bit more, as seen above. But uhhhhhh,,, yeah!!! He's not actually Halcandran!!!! That's a new piece of Lore right there. My jaw dropped while reading it lmao

Anyway, moving on from that bombshell of a sentence, since we still aren't done with the full dialogue,

Remember that post I made a bit over a month ago talking about some of Manager Magolor's dialogue, where I was wondering if that dream of his regarding the theme park also applied to Main Mode Magolor?

I WAS FUCKING RIGHT!

Hell yeah this is such a victory for me I was so excited to read that dghsghfs

Magolor stole the Master Crown so he could make a giant theme park Confirmed and Canon and Real /hj

And then we also get a fun little reference to the Kirby Clash games!

A steal in Kirby's eyes, maybe, but that's only because he doesn't understand real-world currency.

And to close out this post, here are the last two lines of dialogue from this conversation!

Anyway. I'm losing my mind 💖

[blackcurrant-juice]

back in septmeber i got some kind of attack in the middle of lab so they sent me to the ER because they didn't want to take chances with me dying from chemicals but still made me pay the hospital fees myself. then i still had to go back the next week to finish my lab. then bad news happened last week and my. lab report is so fucking late. all these penalties. it will be worth fucking nothing. what did i go to the ER for they should have just let me die there #tbh

[pikslasrce]

im going to do it for real this time (drop out and get a job)

"Because OpenAI was still technically just a well-funded research company at the time, the issue of copyright wasn't as big of a deal."

Hey I was in computer science academia and it absolutely was considered a big deal. If you were doing research you had to make damn sure that your data was actually allowable. Training off of google images was considered off limits for a publication. There were and are large canonical datasets that are licensed freely or for purchase for academic purposes and we passed that info around as much as we could. The research funding for people frequently went to these licenses or into collecting their own data.

This idea that just grabbing random copyrighted data is "ok" or "normal" for academic research is absolutely a new thing, and it only came around after business bros started seeing machine learning as a moneymaking pathway and started trying to justify theft.

[millionmovieproject]

If we all aggressively ignore consumer AI products, not only will we stop having to see bullshit robot content, and dumbasses calling themselves artists by typing keywords into a website, but most importantly, the tech companies will continue to lose billions of dollars desperately trying to market something stupid that nobody wants.

tech worker interviews are really about trying to give the impression that you have the kind of autism that's profitable to exploit

[suenitos]

AINT NO FUCKIGN WAYYYYYY.

RIP Information Age (1970-2024). It was fun while it lasted.

The companies that buy up sites like Bandcamp are interested in nothing except ensuring the executives’ pockets get lined appropriately. Growth is the only thing of interest. It’s the story of capitalism, but here, like with MySpace, it becomes a matter of cultural preservation {read}

In the meantime download your music libraries and the PDFs of articles you’ve written if you’re a writer. Make your own web stores to sell you art. Pay the people you believe in to write about music. Nobody will preserve the culture you care about for you. Nobody can make it better but us.
