I wonder if they vibe coded it?

I had to research that phrase for a bit to make sure there are no racial connotations because… yeah.

I was 3 when I attended my parents’ wedding. I guess I should note not my dad and birth mom.

I met my birth mom many years later. She stressed how she and my dad were briefly married when I was born, so I wasn’t a bastard, and that she gave birth in FL, not MI — the only home I remembered — so I wasn’t a damn Yankee. Like she did me some kindness in both those cases.

That was the attitude that led me to be quite happy with my circumstances — acting like I was in her debt over things I had no care over. So yeah, I attended the wedding of my dad and the only woman I’ll ever call mom.

Jalapeños. I like them on everything from nachos to burgers, but I vastly prefer fresh to pickled.

Sauerkraut. Only on a Reuben.

I’m sure we could find more candidates for prefixes and suffixes. Any term of art is going to take time and promotion to adopt, though. I doubt any will sing clearly to everyone without context.

I need to know the success rate of human agents in Mumbai (or some other outsourcing capital) for comparison.

I absolutely think this is not a good fit for AI, but I feel like the presumption is a human would get it right nearly all of the time, and I’m just not confident that’s the case.

You son of a bitch, I’m in!

Nah, I came here to make this comment and you already have it well in hand. It’s not really any different other than the marketing spin, though. Companies have always had bad code and hired specialists to sort it out. And over half of the specialists suck, too, and so the merry-go-round spins.

I spell most words just fine, but swipe implies some level of autocorrect, anyway. With physical keyboards of course not.

Swipe is really bad on iPhone. I remember some frustration at times on Android but on iPhone it’s infuriating. I use it anyway.

Best I can do is a lemon peel wrapped 'round a gold brick.

She’s in a wheelchair but not a really nice wheel chair. I’d say the odds are pretty fucking good.

Second the door ice maker. We got a Samsung, which everyone will tell you is shit but my wife needs her aesthetics and perfectly matching everything. But my requirement in return was we got an ice maker internal to the freezer that we connected to a reverse osmosis filter. It’s been great for us so far for 7 years.

Now, my Samsung dishwashers (yes, plural) have been hot garbage. Even paying for top of the line shit they both needed major work or repairman ~ once a year, and obviously a replacement.

“How can you do this?”

Their plan is that we’ll earn money doing the jobs robots won’t or are too expensive to do. Giving them handjobs at breakfast, or fighting lions with a knife on PPV. Whatever we can do to give them a moment’s respite from the gray boredom of incomparable wealth, privilege, and pointlessness.

Billionaires.

I don’t embark on such journeys, tbh. I’m more of a day by day/ path of least resistance person. But fucking good on people who do that shit. I’m proud of you. Best I can do is make rash decisions and see them through. Some of them work out really well. Some don’t.

“Can I phone a fascist?”

Likely just to crypto, which will lead to more money for the grifters. Follow the money.

Your suggestion would have us choose an arbitrary measure of achievement to say who is allowed full participation in a society. That seems extremely fraught, to say the least. Why is education any better than amount of land owned? Or tax paid? Or holiness? Or age/experience?

From a certain perspective, each of those groups has a more vested interest in successful governance than other groups. And each has an agenda to promote their own interests.

You think education is important because presumably you are educated. I’m not, in the traditional sense. Everything I know is self-taught through reading and hard work. And I work in a field where almost every single person I encounter is better educated than me, down to the interns. And I am more capable than 90% of them.

Education alone doesn’t make one more capable of clear reasoning or logical thinking and its lack is no preclusion. It’s just another arbitrary distinction. You are suggesting a meritocracy based on education rather than wealth or status, but it’s still a meritocracy with all the flaws that entails.

Sometimes, I feel like you do. It’s hard to see so many stupid people harming society for stupid reasons. But then I remind myself they need representation, too. They are part of society. And importantly they think they are the smart ones and I’m the stupid one, and judging based on intelligence depends greatly on who is doing the judging. You and I might not both make the cut depending on what knowledge is valued, how it’s measured, and where the line is drawn.

The problem is more how money is unevenly allocated and swings outcomes. A democracy that can be bought isn’t really a democracy at all.
