People come and go, might as well make the best of it as long as it stays respectful and consensual. Also, your brain is hardwired to long for human connection (why else would you be here lol).
That being said, I absolutely agree that being content with being alone is key in todays world.
Yes and no. I have enjoyed reading through this approach, but it seems like a slippery slope from this to "vibe knowledge" where LLMs are used for actually trying to add / infer information.
I just came home and learned about the outage. Still can't get the smirk of superiority out of my face from when I noticed my people were still able to shitpost in my absence.
generally through an expression of emotional power, conceptual ideas, technical proficiency, or beauty.

There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures.
There is creativity needed to come up with a general idea of what you want to generate. Imagining prompts and workflows is more of a technical requirement than a "creativity" one, but this is part of the definition above. Programming e.g. needs creativity as well, in the form of abstracting real world objects and their behaviour into concepts / a formal language.
Would a caveman consider an oilpainting not to be art just because the tools have changed over time?That being said, generative AI is illegitimately built on top of the output of all humanity. This and the sheer amount of low effort slop out there is probably why people refuse to acknowledge it as "Art". But there has been art which constitutes a high level of craftsmanship one the one side, and so to speak "sloppy art" on the other before this as well.
It also needs insufferable amounts of energy and most of the infrastructure is in the hands of ~5 big corporations. This may change when the bubble pops and inference hardware gets available comprehensively.
Don't know how bad this take is, but not using LLMs for coding assistance to some degree just for the sake of not using LLMs might not be the best option right now.
There has to be a middle ground between letting the thing spit out whole kernel modules and refusing to use it at all.
Also having it declared as AI assisted code might be better than the people doing it anyway undisclosed.
It is indeed a very risky move without a lot to gain for him personally. But I could guess McDonald's would have forced him to ignore it and shut up about it if he disclosed this to the higher ups himself, in which case I would have gladly left myself instead.
Rust introduces some pretty awesome concepts, but I see why it might be controversial to some. I (sadly) have no use case for it though.
