Bitch, taxpayers are City Hall.

Calm down.

Just break even means it is all for nothing

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.

It’s a math problem

It’s costing the city more than the tax revenue it provides.

Show your work.

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.

I, too, was a very sleepy teenager and now I have to work in the sun for a living. But by this time of year you should have your heat tolerance built up. Heat tolerance is a real thing.

What imaginary job are you going to pretend this account does for a living?

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.

Mr. AI, take this picture of a happy family and change their clothes to dark hoodies and the dog to a pit bull so I can post it on social media and watch the internet spazz out.

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.

Madisonville just entered into an agreement with the government to store nuclear waste, and they will be building a data center and a hog fat rendering plant in the town, too.

Jokes on you I'm into that shite AND draw bridge closures!

Her lawyer went off for 8 minutes about all the BS during the trial:

Fitting closing statement at the end.

I’m not sure that kind of liability filtering can be replaced by machines but also our obsession with liability is why western society is getting rapidly leapfrogged

The most underreported issue in tech today, imo.

No one wants to just do things, everyone wants to cover their arse, because that's what we've incentivized: saying why you can't or shouldn't do something.

Anyone that's ever opend port 80 or 443 on a server gets hundreds if not thousands of hits per day from "foreign IP addresses sending and receivind data" from the server.

Yeah, if people try to focus on technical aspects that they don't know a thing about (especially now that AI will tell them they are absolutely right), this is going to go as well as it did in 2020 - I remember some dude on here spazzing out about sql management studio being on a machine.

When someone says they're hiding things from the president and practically running a shadow government, that's something worth focusing on.
