My mind is in the gutter. I did not read "video" the first pass, but perhaps that was your KSS way of accessing the gutters of my mind.

Have you ever had a situation when you are debugging a complex scenario with a huge list of breakpoints, and you find yourself scrolling and tapping in the breakpoints windows to disable/enable them individually and repetitively? Breakpoint all the lines!
We need AI to manage our breakpoints

We need a breakpoint before AI manages us!

Unfortunately I think that'll fall more under the purview of an exception handler.

No, because I don't write spaghetti code.

Thank you - when I posted this, I could never imagine needing that many breakpoints that I would need to enable/disable a bunch at a time. But I figured I must have just lived a sheltered life.

Support for OpenAI's DALL-E will roll out to Bing preview users in phases. Now it can also be usefully bad at drawing

The web demo of Alpaca, a small AI language model based on Meta's LLaMA system, has been taken down offline by researchers at Stanford University due to safety and cost concerns. Do electric alpacas dream of androids?

Java 20 previews a series of enhancements to improve the capabilities of the 27-year-old programming language that keeps on growing. Freshly ground, for your enjoyment
"Java 20 is an incremental release that will only be supported for six months" <- I'll get right on upgrading then...

Snowballing PoC exploits for CVE-2023-23397 and a massive attack surface means that almost any business user could be a victim. The outlook is patchy
"A target doesn’t actually have to open the email to fall victim to an attack." <-- eeep!
But fortunately, there's already a patch (and a workaround if you can't patch)

The rise of artificial general intelligence—now seen as inevitable in Silicon Valley—will bring change that is "orders of magnitude" greater than anything the world has yet seen, observers say. But are we ready? We weren't as worried about an electric apocalypse

Definitively not... there is way too much natural stupidity to be able to leave in peace with artificial intelligence. And I do not necessarily mean in a Matrix / Terminator sense.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

AI isn't going to heat my morning shower. It may make it so I never need to shower again, but it will never heat my morning shower.

Not so. The CPU required to run it will produce so much heat that it will be able to heat your morning shower.

Rust can benefit from the entire ecosystem of GCC tools and plugins created over GCC's 35-year history. A little WD-40 should prevent that

A potentially landmark copyright lawsuit could affect how libraries are able to scan their own book collections. Is it a library, or a lie?
|
|

For the sake of the general public I hope the Internet Archive wins this case. Publishers have put so many restrictions on their e-books that it's nearly impossible for libraries to afford them.

While these AI-powered tools have gotten much better at producing creative and sometimes humorous responses, they often include inaccurate information. I'm saving that one for my next annual review

In other words, technically correct and totally useless.

Sounds a lot like a human. Then again, GIGO's the word!

Hadn't thought of that -- using it for my current annual review... LOL!
