can it even fit a robovan? the thing barely fits the cars it was designed for, and I wouldn’t put it past musk to forget his past failed shit or assume it can easily be expanded when it can’t
instance admins have a button for it
do you think they ever got round to reading the article, or were they spent after coming up with “hmmmm I bet chatgpt didn’t somehow prompt itself” as if that were a mystery that needed solving
it’s kind of comforting that the current attitude towards generative AI in some tech spaces is “of course it can’t do cognition and it isn’t really good for anything, who said it was” which is of course rich from the exact same posters who were breathlessly advertising for the tech as revolutionary both online and at work as recently as a couple of weeks ago (and a lot of them still hedge it with “but it might be useful in the near future”). the comfort is it feels like that attitude comes from deep embarrassment, like how the orange site started claiming it is and always was skeptical of crypto once the technology got irrevocably associated with scams and gambling and a lot of the easy money left
you’re right! now I’m trying to think back to which kiosk chain was active in my area growing up. I do know they’d take my dad’s awfully shot film and make even worse prints, and that feels weirdly appropriate for Matt
anti-ai bots
there’s nothing I hate more than when people who hate chatbots flood me with chatbots
e: please stop sending soldiers from your anti-war militia to fight me
actually that sounds like a metal gear plot point I’d overexplain while intoxicated
what does this have to do with the article
I stumbled on the landing page and this shit’s somehow even worse in context:
If you are reading this on automattic.com, and you don’t currently work at Automattic you’ll see a selected set of pages that will give you a sense of our onboarding and welcome documents from the Field Guide. Over time, we hope to add more.
fuck me. I swear to you my ears are ringing from how corporate twee this bullshit is, and you’re telling me there’s more of it? thank fuck they let the public know there’s infinite free swag though (limit $250/year or you’ll get a visit from the Human League cause they can’t have you do anything crazy like donate Matt’s swag or repurpose it)
It’s confusing at first. You won’t know where what is and who is doing what. If you do get to know all that after a time, it is perfectly possible that it’ll change or even already has. Also tell us how you did it.
The only correct approach is to embrace the chaos, not fight it. As Buddha says:
Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.
oh fuck off with this. your company barely functioning isn’t a strength, it’s just a shitty thing that’s burning out your employees.
but for real though… do you think Matt sees himself as a Buddha-like figure? do you think that’s what’s going through his head when he throws an extremely online rich boy tantrum?
You too, like all of us, will become a strange attractor.
this is it, we’ve found the portal to startup hell
a8c: Shorthand for Automattic.
a11n: Shorthand for Automattician.
a12s: Shorthand for Automatticians (pro tip: the number in the middle of the word denotes the number of letters between the first and last letter).
this fuckhead wants to be Andreessen Horowitz so fucking bad
my brain keeps telling me his social media username photomatt must be a pun for matte photo paper or matting your photos for an exhibit, but something tells me Matt thinks matting your own photos is for poor people (because it’s a lot of frustrating labor) and I doubt anyone’s demanding prints of his “rich boy with an expensive Nikon” photos
oh that’s awesome! I was wondering how I’d do fairly large levels for a 3D space, and it turns out the answer is that neither quake-style mapping nor competent tiling systems will ever go out of fashion
you know, humidity control is one of the few parts of my house that isn’t controlled by a handbuilt Linux system I’ve fastened to the wall
…so what I’m saying is now I’m writing one in nix, yes
