Nothing sucks down memory like their shite-arse support utilities.
It's almost impressive; you have to explicitly try to hog memory the way they do.

It's massive incumbents seeking regulatory capture. If they can gin up fear, then we can get to have a new federal agency! And, of course, they will essentially be in charge of that.
Why worry about losing billions of dollars when you can have the government come bail you out?

Previously almost all software sucked because it was designed to extract money, save costs, or even if free, collect data or increase adoption. AI gives you the ability to rapidly and economically deploy tools that do exactly what you want them to without any other agendas in play.
You think AI companies are being run purely out of the goodness of the owners' hearts? Training data on the free models are clear of any and all biases of any kind?

Those are actually pretty nice.
What I can't stand is people backing into one-way angled parking spots that weren't designed for it. They just end up pointing in the wrong direction when they try to leave their spot.

When that 24% cut in social security payouts hits in 2032, maybe it'll get people's attention.

I have to (want to???) believe that people are severely overestimating the amount of negativity of our populous to this project and that the vast majority of voters in this state are (or will be) extremely excited about it all.
I think you're right. I've noticed whenever someone pops up with the usual stupid talking points (WHAT ABOUT HURRICANEZ?!1) they get destroyed by 10 other people pretty quickly.
It's exciting and scary because we always get teased with the possibility of things like this happening in the state only for them to fall apart.
Hopefully it's the start of a change in mindset.

Not once until now have I heard City Hall used as an economic marker for how well Mardi Gras does in the city, and now you're telling me it's all that matters.
But hey, you want to kill one of the few golden geese in the city, knock yourself out.

According to Tulane’s report, the city and its entities made a profit of nearly $8 million on Carnival in 2023. But if you only consider City Hall, it made less than $7 million and spent nearly $11 million providing security, sanitation and other services.
Why is City Hall entitled to a profit?

Take it up with the manager not the wait staff working their way through college who gave your table great service. Do you really think thye are going to jeopardize their jobs by raising ehll with their boss?
That would require effort and take more than just bitching and moaning at the nearest worker, and the manager is more likely to argue back than the worker who has to put up with the bloviating from the public AND their boss.
re: Zipper Merging will be the downfall of civilization
Posted by GetMeOutOfHere on 8/18/26 at 2:46 pm to Chad504boy
There is one zipper merge spot in west St. Tammany I take all the time that is easy to use, pretty much never involves cutting anyone off, and yet most of the time, it's much faster and no one uses the extra lane.
I cannot figure out why the drivers of this parish are addicted to sitting in line when they don't have to.

Damn, you must really hate Judge Tanner if you had to list it twice.
That light and the stop sign where it meets 190 does kind of suck, but it's not the worst thing traffic wise.

it certainly makes humans who have been trained and have experience EXTREMELY more useful and ensures competency in areas that they may not have been before. If nothing else it may flag areas of concern so others can be brought into the discussion.
That's not how its use is being promoted though.
It is being promoted as the one true source and in many instances to go against whatever bad rabbit holes it goes down is like speaking out against someone's religion, even if you explain the instance that it's wrong and you have the evidence; it's rather creepy.
We had to go to limited billing, and we're being asked to watch our usage and maximize AI use at the same time; a crazy bit of cognitive dissonance.
I'd rather just use it where needed and take what comes back with the grain of salt that it deserves. If someone asked you to just do everything the "I'm feeling lucky" button that google used to have said, you'd say they were nuts, but that's kind of what a lot of people are doing with it.

Critical thinking and overall deep process understanding will be lost at some point if everything just comes out of the magic answer box.
I am floored at how much AI slop is coming out of people in the workforce now; it's impressive at first, but after a while you start to notice it: the sing-songy this not that style in the prose, the too small text in the documents, the pointlessly complex code with overtly verbose code comments.
I've also noticed some problems with the magic answer box as of late, especially if it's something not easily found on the internet, even if you do provide it context. It's still helpful, but it's not the gospel it's portrayed as, and the monthly flat rate has been changed to a meter in a lot of places.
I keep getting told my job is going away by the media; never say never, but it won't be because of AI.
