    Never known anything but I have seen the name. So I’ve skimmed her Wikipedia just now. So she was harassed during GamerGate. Is Pro-Israel and claims the left is letting down their Jewish allies. Had a few congressional bids.

    Oh, I see her with something with Cenk and Rebellion PAC. Not gonna lie, I gave up on Cenk ages ago and it seems things haven’t gotten much better for him (especially lately with him and Ana apparently attacking the left?).

    I’ve probably skimmed too fast but what specifically are you referring to? I see she didn’t get a full degree from the University of Mississippi.






  • For coding, I treat it as an overly enthusiastic junior-mid.

    It’s also great because I’m learning terraform and I just don’t want to look up the syntax. I just tell it to add something and it’ll do the lookup for me.

    It gets it wrong sometimes which is where I need to do the lookup but it definitely has its uses.





  • A complete random story but, I’m on the AI team at my company. However, I do infrastructure/application rather than the AI stuff. First off, I had to convince my company to move our data scientist to this team. They had him doing DevOps work (complete mismanagement of resources). Also, the work I was doing was SO unsatisfying with AI. We weren’t tweaking any models. We were just shoving shit to ChatGPT. Now it was be interesting if you’re doing RAG stuff maybe or other things. However, I was “crafting” my prompt and I could not give a shit less about writing a perfect prompt. I’m typically used to coding what I want but I had to find out how to write it properly: “please don’t format it like X”. Like I wasn’t using AI to write code, it was a service endpoint.

    During lunch with the AI team, they keep saying things like “we only have 10 years left at most”. I was like, “but if you have AI spit out this code, if something goes wrong … don’t you need us to look into it?” they were like, “yeah but what if it can tell you exactly what the code is doing”. I’m like, “but who’s going to understand what it’s saying …?” “no, it can explain the type of problem to anyone”.

    I said, I feel like I’m talking to a libertarian right now. Every response seems to be some solution that doesn’t exist.
