@fshinneman @AkaSci Who could forget the standard calculator disclaimer, "Calculators are based on AI and can make mistakes. Please verify all output."

Regrettably, I don't think the executives who reorganized their entire companies around wildly oversubsidized code generators at the expense of things like "understanding our own systems" "meeting customer's needs" are going to be the people who end up struggling financially because of their catastrophically shortsighted incompetence.

Time for some more phones?

Am I the only one who finds it super hard to read LLM generated text? Every time someone sends me an email or documentation which was obviously generated by LLMs I need to read it 3-5 times to somehow get the actual information out of it from all of the unnecessary blah blah. To some degree I don't get it. Just writing out the few sentences by hand should not take that much time and would safe a lot of time on the other side...

Well balls, I've just been laid off. Anyone want to hire a full stack dev with nearly 30 years experience across multiple industries, both in enterprise software and games? I'm proficient with Unity/C# but also spent a lot of time in the Java world. Remote or local to Austin Tx preferred. (Also a dual US/British citizen and would consider UK positions.)

Paris has transformed more than 300 streets outside schools into pedestrian-only “garden streets,” replacing traffic and parking with trees, benches and light-coloured paving. Researchers found the redesigned streets were on average 5°C cooler than nearby roads during summer heat. The projects, accelerated after the 2024 Olympics, are now reshaping school zones into permanent public health infrastructure focused on children, shade and cleaner air Torched https://www.torched.la/cool-streets/

🐞 Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’

“So just to make it really clear: If you found a bug using AI tools, the chances are somebody else found it too. If you actually want to add value, read the documentation, create a patch too, and add some real value on *top* of what the AI did. Don't be the drive-by ‘send a random report with no real understanding’ kind of person. OK?”

I imagine @daedalus had an inkling of the reaction of the VCBros to the Australian Budget when he sent his The Crux newsletter last week:
‘…abandon the idea that venture capital has anything to do with making products or services people want to buy. The purpose of venture capital is money and everything else is a distraction.
…The focus has long since shifted away from what companies do to what they are, which is mostly financial vehicles that help senior managers evade tax via carried interest and complex international cost-shifting agreements between related parties.’
