And massively increased again in the last five years…

I’d agree with this, except they only really recorded a single album. The Rock n Roll Swindle was just a bunch of outtakes and session recordings mostly done after Johnny had left

The same position is open in multiple job markets, including here in Toronto. It’s possible that they need multiple code engineers, but the most likely read is they really need this person.

Possibly to tick a few boxes in the IPO prospectus…

This is the most correct answer

I don’t consider it art. The only “creative” part is the prompt itself. Even then, it’s really just users trying to be as fanciful (or perverted) as possible. Once the prompt is ingested, the code takes its cues to remix the turgid crap that’s called the internet today.

Yes, once in a while it produces something “interesting” but this is an accident and not the desired outcome. Ask any artist about this - I’ve never met any that consider all their work as “good” (Ahem, Damien Hirst) and purposefully filter their own output. Ask AI to do that. It can’t. It will literally continue to shit things out until you ask it to stop. Again, like Damien Hirst…

The downside is it’s cheap and requires literally no skill. This means that soon, it will be pretty much everywhere, and thus we’ll continue the inexorable slide into abject mediocrity.

I’m not scared of the AI uprising. I’m scared it’s going to bore us all to death.

Came here to say the same thing from slightly different perspective.

I worked at a company that provided Value Added Services to all the carriers. Somehow (lobbying, I guess) all the revenue share we received was treated by them as R&D money, even though it was pure profit. In short, they were making a ton of cash, sharing some of it with us, and then not re-investing it back into their networks like they were legally required to do.

They are an exercise in failed capitalism

Isn’t this guy supposed to be a lawyer? He can’t string two sentences together coherently.

How is this f*cktard speaking on behalf of anyone…?

That will be all the other Evangelicals in Iowa - Some of them really aren’t doing their bit to enable the rapture.

But yeah. They don’t read either.

He obviously gained a lot of weight by the time he ended up playing the nightclub boss in John Wick 4

This is why you write the test before the code. You write the test to make sure something fails, then you write the code to make it pass. Then you repeat this until all your behaviors are captured in code. It’s called TDD

But, full marks for writing tests in the first place
