I'm tired of the whole "AI is useless" shit so I'm going to do a thread on how I specifically used AI to meaningfully improve one of my day jobs.

You don't really get a better illustration that they are specifically appealing to morons

Apparently for fixed price work they charge 5% to clients and 10% to freelancers? On top of holding the funds in escrow and getting interest on them? Fuck this place.

How the fuck are so many people whiffing so much on this movie? Like 90% of the reviews are insanely positive and then the other 10% is really stupid shit like this. reason.com/2026/10/26/n...

Have you considered electing politicians that are principled and would not be upset if you voted them out of office when society decided it wanted something different?

Richard Hanania's primary idea as a thinker is to flatter whoever holds power. Right now, that’s liberals--given the profound backlash against MAGA. Letting him in means admitting liberalism has room for someone who talks like an unreconstructed fascist.

Told my mom that there was a buck chasing after the does behind my condo and then further had to explain that "awwww" was probably not the appropriate reaction.

If you read stuff like this and don't start to wonder whether there's a better system of government than one that basically relies on having more people that disagree with it than agree with it...

Lot of "thinkers" on here will reply to this with a theory that "practical impact of a secret ballot is nil" as if that's a reason not to do it anyways

The refusal to acknowledge that Democrats fundamentally do similar things in an effort to tilt the scales in their direction is something that we really need to overcome. The fact that Republicans are simply willing to go further is not a good reason to ignore it!

Steve Guest thinks a 3-series is a luxury car

Just say the N-word already, dawg. This is taking forever.

The girlfriend is watching all the American Horror Story series and despite enjoying the first season I am incredibly glad I did not waste my time on the others.

stumbled on a set of incredible 1970s illustrations in some government reports, so had to spend a day collecting them into a website to share with my friends on the computer: nickseaver.net/paperwork

Primus is a national treasure.

yeah it's seemingly hard to internalize how expensive programmers are. chillsky, a whole ass bsky client that you can use, cost me ~a dollar of my subscription, but would have been ~$100 at api rates but it would have cost ~$10,000 as contract work (a cheap senior engineer-month)

If you elect me president I will bring the full force of government to bear on this issue and force Tom Nichols and Matt Darling to be in a room with cameras for an hour a week during primetime.

remarkable

Note he doesn't list the times or circumstances when he was unemployed!

Yeah, LLMs sometimes make stuff up but have you met humans?

You know you've been on Bluesky too long when the lady at the voting place says you can put your ballot in the "top or bottom" slot and your first thought is "a switch? Nice."

I predict that one of the more interesting subgroups that will gain notoriety next year are the anti-AI guys who will refuse to update their software to non-vulnerable versions because the exploits are found by AI and are subsequently pwned out the wazoo
