@bubbleboi OpenAI, for years now, has had a hire-to-fire, no-joy, ugly-tech, heavily-tented and ironically leak-happy culture. Smart people disappear constantly with no explanation. Is it any wonder these practices have caught up with them?

@orshick @jordwalke That's okay, because nobody cares. If you think you need to keep your idea a secret, it's shit.

Few understand what this unlocks. It’s not just about having pretty wrapped text.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@jollyheretic Basically men are not making enough money to satisfy the expectations of these women because it's taking them longer to accumulate wealth.
One of the expectations is making considerably more money than the average man, yet women directly asked for government to equalize income

This was the case throughout the 19th century, up to the World War I generation. Excess middle class females. The result was a 'spinster crisis' and competitive purity signalling.

Around 600,000 British women could miss out on motherhood because men are growing up later, settling down later and delaying fatherhood, a new report warns. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/15/imm…

@davepl1968 This take from Amjad reminds of last year when SF executives where vibecoding physics equations and claimed that they were on the verge a Nonel prize worthy breakthrough. I am all for empowering people but why do it at the expense of programmers and engineers.

It's the same for mechanical engineering. If you want to build a locomotive, don't sweat the metallurgy and the thermodynamics, just prompt, baby... prompt!
If you're a fast learner, or a good gamer, or grew up near train tracks, that's ALL you need. In fact, not knowing that locomotives use wheels could be an advantage.
You're just a boiler explosion away from revealing your "true grit", which is the measure that software engineers have traditionally rated each other with.

"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage." Replit CEO Amjad Masad: "You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner." "If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this." "Coders get lost in the details." "Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things." "I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur." @amasad with @jackhneel

@RokoMijic @AnthonyNAguirre The continued existence of Muslims as a giant growing demographic, despite mountains of evidence that their religion is false, just illustrates how few humans actually respond to rational argument.
Best that can be said is that some races seem to respond better than others.

Having now read this bill, my views on it are somewhat different than the below suggests. The summary of the bill is:
"This bill would prohibit a chatbot to give substantive responses; information, or advice or take any action which, if taken by a natural person, would constitute unauthorized practice or unauthorized use of a
professional title as a crime in relation to professions who licensure is governed by the education law or the judiciary law."
So this bill is saying that if it (giving advice as a therapist, lawyer, etc., while not being one) is illegal for a person to do, chatbots should not be able to do it either. That seems pretty defensible! Why would we allow AI to do things that would be illegal for humans to do?
On the other hand, we do want a system where people can get useful advice for low-stakes issues with a full understanding that it is not a licensed professional that is giving it to them. I think this bill would allow for that (via sufficiently clear disclaimers), but more clarification of exactly how seems critical.
I think we also need some way of AI allowing much broader access to real legal help, therapy, etc., that do not destroy these human professions and that do give people the sort of trust and reliability they want, rather than advice that absolutely is (e.g.) legal advice, of unknown reliability, with a "this is not legal advice" disclaimer.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more. The companies would be liable if the chatbots give “substantive responses” in these areas.

@sailaunderscore It's not about whether a CEO can overrule the state. The real motivating principle is their belief that it is illegitimate for red tribe to exercise power.
English
I am hearing from multiple top-tier thinkers:
If you think that a private company’s CEO shouldn’t be allowed to overrule the United States Commander-in-Chief (duly elected by the people), you are now right-wing and/or love China.
Yeah, it’s not exactly clear to me either.

I know this sound extremely cringe Huckabee coded, but any tendency of the right that isn't open to cooperation with based Jews is going nowhere. Cromwell understood that. All of our guys understood that. Just going to say, don't say I didn't warn you.

@ChristianHeiens @emilykmay When a woman submits, she's being a good girl and obeying her daddy. When a man respects his place in a just hierarchy, he's upholding his side of a contract of mutual respect ordained by God for everyone's benefit.
Totally different mindset. Meekness versus duty.
English
@emilykmay It's an incredible insight into the female mind that you would mistake hierarchy for submissiveness.
English
well, yes. submissive men outnumber submissive women.
men love being told what to do and taking orders, it's arguably much more natural for them.
Hunter Ash@ArtemisConsort
One of my favorite stats: submissive men outnumber dominant women by a factor of 2-4, depending on the study. Being a submissive guy puts you in a terrible position in the dating market, and if it’s possible for you to shed that preference you probably should.
