Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Yea yea guns don't kill people, bullet impacts kill people. Dishonesty and incompetence are nothing new, but you may note that the wedding planner's unfounded confidence in ChatGPT exacerbated the problem in a novel way. Why did the planner trust the bogus information about Vegas wedding officiants? Is someone maybe presenting these LLM bots as an appropriate tool for looking up such information?
Yes, even some influential people at my employer have started to peddle the idea that only “old-fashioned” people are still using Google, while all the forward-thinking people are prompting an AI. For this reason alone, I think that negative examples like this one deserve a lot more attention.
Bullet impacts don't kill people, tissue deorganization and fluid loss kill people!
let’s not
It's clearly a joke walking the first phrase they said a bit further, to an absurdly literal point.
yes, let's not
Hilarious
you couldn’t fucking help yourself could you
fuckoff
*What's
For the sin of making a grammar error in a post criticizing grammar you must now do ten push-ups.
"Comment whose upvotes all come from programming dot justworks dot dev dot infosec dot works" sure has become a genre of comment.
Comments coming from .dev should default to comic sans.
holy shit this sounds like an amazing plugin
"I can safely bet that by 'all upvotes come from programming dot justworks dot dev dot infosec dot works' you actually mean 'a vast majority of upvotes come from these tech instances' even before reading your comment."
"Or in other words I correctly interpreted what you meant but apparently the way you said it is a problem because I prefer to blame users rather than peddlers."
Federating is a vector of disease
How can you tell who up votes a comment?
instance admins have a button for it
I can make a safe assumption before reading the article that ChatGPT didn't ruin the wedding, but rather somebody that was using ChatGPT ruined the wedding.
"blame the person, not the tools" doesn't work when the tools' marketing team is explicitly touting said tool as a panacea for all problems. on the micro scale, sure, the wedding planner is at fault, but if you zoom out even a tiny bit it's pretty obvious what enabled them to fuck up for as long and as hard as they did
what if the person in question is also a tool
oh gods they're multiplying
why would you say something so inane my god
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
I had to take a nap after my profound thoughts.
wankery will do that to a man
"ChatGPT is good, but only if no one in a position of authority uses it"
Cool.
"This hammer can't plan a wedding. Hammers are useless."
almost all of your posts are exactly this worthless and exhausting and that’s fucking incredible
As a fellow Interesting Wedding Haver, I have to give all the credit in the world to the author for handling this with grace instead of, say, becoming a terrorist. I would have been proud to own the "Tracy did nothing wrong" tshirt.
Credit to her for making the best of a bad situation. "We almost couldn't get legally married, so we had to bring in Elvis to officiate the paperwork after the ceremony" is going to be a top-tier wedding story for every party going forward.
good thing Elvis is everywhere
As long as music is alive, so is The King. A-thank you. Thank you very much.
