  • Exactly. I had a colleague who searched for a question about a retail math formula. The LLM returned a result that was close but slightly wrong. She spent two weeks with incorrect numbers for her baseline and as a result her forecasts were all wrong. When reviewing her numbers, everything was just a little wonky so I dug into it and discovered her mistake. She was absolutely dumbfounded the “AI” even could be wrong and tried to argue that I was incorrect. Dug out my old retail math cheat sheet and showed her the correct formula.

    I haven’t used LLM’s for anything since. Gotta validate all that shit anyways, so why use it at all?

    These things will be fantastic for taking my order at the drive thru and in a few other applications, but if you’re trying to learn from them; don’t.




  • Yup. Was a huge fan of the EU books and lore. Wanted to give Disney a chance, so I saw the first few movies. It was like seeing your ex at the club but she’d gone through massive amounts of plastic surgery and they’d removed all the unique features that attracted you originally. Haven’t watched anything Star Wars since the second movie in the new trilogy, literally 0 desire to see the conclusion or any new Star wars content.





  • I set low initial expectations at my job, automated and simplified nearly every task. I work less than 20 hours a week on average. I have time for basically all my hobbies and get to spend tons of time with my kid and wife. It may be a grey cubicle and annoying but it pays well and i can get fulfillment elsewhere. Feel like anybody trying to get fulfilling experiences from work is looking at the picture upside down



  • As a millennial I get your anger, but the guy you’re responding to is right. An average working boomer had no more say in the policies enacted than you or I and the majority will be flat broke by the time they die, outlook isn’t much better for Gen X either. The establishment has done a wonderful job running us around and keeping us focused on the wrong fights. They’ve done it so well that even saying it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me when I know it to be true.

    The tax rates for the ultra wealthy need to be increased to post WW2 levels, we need to get corporate money out of politics and the news. The people in power hold nearly all the cards and have convinced everyone the cards we hold are useless or immoral. The truth is we need better ways to organize and connect with local like-minded people to pool resources, hinder competition and bring the oligarchs down.




  • Yup, this was me at a lunch table at work. Dudes were pulling the most repulsive stories about fucking another chick while their GF is doing XYZ or not washing between their side girl and main chick and i just couldn’t sit there. Pretended I got a notification and was like “whelp I got work to do, later!”

    I get being a slut when you’re younger, I was, but why have a SO if you wanna fool around? Like why hurt someone?
