However, do keep in mind that LLMs regularly pull language an library features out of their asses that have no direct correspondent in practice. I'd use the LLMs to generate small snippets of code, giving them a small and restricted set of requirements to minimize hallucinations.

Buddy, I'm an engineer, and let me tell you: You don't know shit about what you're talking about. You can have the highest ethics in the entire world, it won't weight shit opposed to management.
I worked on a project that was constantly rushed and forced to add things that neared the computationally impossible. Every single engineer on my team was BEGGING the management to not ship into production as it was, because there was no way in hell it would work without causing serious problems. They did not care, and when we said that it was impossible to meet the deadline, what was management's solution? Lay off the entire team and hire a batch of juniors that did not know better, and the product was still shipped, and even if the juniors hadn't, they'd still find someone that could make it barely work enough to be delivered.

Surprise, surprise, the product failed on a critical time and it cost MILLIONS (not thousands, not hundreds of thousands. millions) of dollars. And you are saying that I should be held responsible for my moronic supervisors' actions? Fuck off and never come back, idiot.

Well, Threads was meant as a Twitter competitor. Seems like the toxicity levels are starting to get on-par.

So, straight out of 1984?

Jesus fucking Christ, and I thought politicians on my country were bad.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't algorithms like Huffman or even Shannon-Fano code with blocks already pack the files as efficiently as possible? It's impossible to compress a file beyond it's entropy, and those algorithms get pretty damn close to it.

So, a few years back, probably a bit more than a decade, there was one hell of a conflict on the village I lived, with gangs every corner and tensions rising. The police didn't do shit and crime was through the roof. One day, one of the gang leaders was murdered and a whole war between the gangs developed. And instead of fucking helping, the government decided to isolate the place, no one in and no one out, fuck the civilians. A week into this war, explosives were used to destroy buildings and spread chaos, both from the gangs and military alike. Me and my family hid wherever we could, but it was never enough to be safe for a long period of time. Three of my family members died during the first week, trying to find food. Then the military decided to make an assault with everything they had and raided the entire place. Me, and everyone else, ran for our lives or hid on any building they could. I hid on a small house, but it was not built using the best of materials, and it collapsed over me due to a bomb detonating nearby. I woke up on a hospital about a month later with a broken leg.

I think many of the scientists weren't Nazis, but rather forced to work for the Nazis, fearing for their and their family's lives. I could be wrong though, it has been a while since I've investigated that matter.

Ah, yes the famous quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (commonly pronounced "quatre-vingt-deez-nuts"). Numbers are quite a mouthful in French. One of the reasons I erased it from my memory the moment I didn't need it no more.

As Michael Jordan once said, "Fuck them kids", and therefore, fuck them Governmental Agencies.
