It's kind of hilarious how the world's most powerful military is once again failing at winning a war. The US hasn't won a war since 1945, and the posturing and bloviating while they once again can't beat a much, much smaller and heavily outdated military is almost endearing.

If you hired a translator and they sent you a Google Translate translation, they would be a bad translator.

If you hired an artist and they sent you an image generated by Gemini, they would be a bad artist.

If you hired a programmer and they sent you a slopcoded website, they would be a...?

Yeah.

What is it with programmers and their desire for mediocrity?

I'm in the same boat. I want to watch this unfold before making any calls, but I will not hesitate to jump to BSD if the Linux kernel gets tainted by slopcode.

At which point I might as well move my gaming PC to Windows too. Like, why deal with the mild additional hassle at that point?

So Ars Technica "wrote" an "article" about the "AI" bot instructed to puke some slop pretending to be discriminated against, and the Ars article contained "comments" from a developer that were not in the linked article, and were, in fact, entirely made up, 99% likely by "AI", possibly because the Ars author instructed the "AI" to summarize the linked article, and now Ars has deleted the "article" and comments?

How ever could this happen to a for-profit website owned by a giant media conglomerate who also sold their content rights to "AI" companies? It will always remain a mystery.

The Dutch version of the BBC (very simply put) has started consistently stating in every article about Trump that he has a history of lying and saying nonsense. It's really satisfying. "President Trump, who often lies, said that..." It's a small thing, but it cheers me up.

So many centrists - and even leftists - in the US still seem to believe that all of this will be over after the next election.

You either cut out the conservative cancer and cauterise the wound, or we will never take the US seriously ever again.
