  • Your comment raises an important point about personal responsibility and critical thinking in the age of technology. Here’s how I would respond:

    Acknowledging Personal Responsibility

    You’re absolutely right that individuals must exercise judgment when interacting with technology, including language models (LLMs). Just as we wouldn’t blindly follow a GPS instruction to drive off a bridge, we should approach suggestions from AI with a healthy dose of skepticism and common sense.

    The Role of Critical Thinking

    In our increasingly automated world, critical thinking is essential. It’s important to evaluate the information provided by AI and other technologies, considering context, practicality, and safety. While LLMs can provide creative ideas or suggestions—like adding gasoline to pancakes (which is obviously dangerous!)—it’s crucial to discern what is sensible and safe.

    Encouraging Responsible Use of Technology

    Ultimately, it’s about finding a balance between leveraging technology for assistance and maintaining our own decision-making capabilities. Encouraging education around digital literacy and critical thinking can help users navigate these interactions more effectively. Thank you for bringing up this thought-provoking topic! It’s a reminder that while technology can enhance our lives, we must remain vigilant and responsible in how we use it.

    What are some examples…lol











  • Not into software developing but…I got a project manager and project lead that basically took over my project under my feet because they thought I was working too slowly. Now they got a junior engineer who thinks he’s inventing all the things I had to invent to solve a problem…like a painter who thinks he’s designed the perfect home. Well they’re finding out now where ideas come from and that its not in the paint can or the brush. I love watching them squirm when their shitty design can’t pass DFMEA so then …do they design something different? Nah! DFMEA’s can’t tell you that your design id dumb as fuck! Its you! You! The engineer has to realize how stupid their design in. Instead, they proceed to apply resources to the ton of action items. Surely the pig will fly if we crush all the bones and reshape him into a parachute! I’ll be right here when you guys are done fooling around and getting monthly praises and recognition. Praises and recognition by the way is the best way to get engineers out of your way…they get promoted to project lead or management! Suddenly they cant invent your inventions anymore!







  • In the future the machine will know what to do. Ome day you’ll be properly invested in the future of your particular company just turning that one knob when the screen blinks you into activity. Next thing you know, it will pull off your pants 👖😏, and you’ll be dragged… kindly at moderate G forces to a romantic cavern in all sorts of pretty colors but really dark. You’ll feel your genitalia either get plugged or get plugged into several times but less than 10. A little pinch followed by the usual ecstacy and bliss for 4 seconds. blah blah, a warm water stream bidet cleans you up and you’re back at the office with pants and all. It will be super efficient and you don’t have to worry about who pays for what. Just keep turning the knob when the screen tells you to and all will be fine. Oh and Dave? If you got anything to say to Dave, you better get it off your chest now, he’s hitting 50, do you see anyone else ever hitting 50? Didn’t think so. He retires tomorrow. Oh that was yesterday, he’s already made into tir…you know whatever people who are 50 do and then you never hear from them ever again.
