I want AI in VSC as an assistant, but that's it.

If I could have set a systemwide setting to say "Only add AI to things I want", then I would have ticked that box a long time ago.

Maybe YT could add an option for "filter out AI slop". I might pay for YT if they did that.

Yeah, I think there's a market for suppressing AI slop.

would be funny if openAI couldn't turn a profit but somebody could suppressing it

We humans are never happy. We might be content for a while, but that is it.

Smart people see farther than the end of their noses, and so they can effectively project out into the future, and that future always involves work and hardship, and neither of those things brings happiness.

Smart people also know that happiness is a mere moment, not a state one can be in. You have it, and then it is gone. It's like trying to grasp smoke to save it for later.

The number of UK Government and Parliament petitions that have led to an identifiable policy change is so small as to be statistically negligible — effectively a rounding error compared with the total number submitted.

Right but a policy change isn't the guarentee offered just the debate. Getting to a debate is a win! Despite no concrete policy changes it doesn't mean there won't be other second order effects from having this bought to peoples attention.

If you think we're going to have government by petition then I don't know what to tell you.

I don't think people want government by petition, I think they just want petitions to have any meaningful impact at all. Which they currently don't.

What does a meaningful impact look like if forcing a debate isn’t one?

Or the money they sent to Ukraine.

The freedom the US has to kill anyone anywhere without trial trickles down, and individual citizens believe it is their right to use violence in the same way.

It was inevitable, especially since Israel can reach out and kill whoever it wishes, without consequences.

Seeing the people on social media celebrating Kirk's murder is so saddening and maddening. I am shocked that social media has allowed such widespread celebration of the murder of a US citizen.

As others have said, with so many errors, it's just more AI slop.

Does the world need yet another AI slop generator?

Delete emails to save water.

It’s clapping for carers every Thursday at 8 pm, all over again, haha.

The idea of mushrooms being the only species that communicates is absurd.

Growers of organic food, rather than the dominant chemical farmers you buy your food from, are very aware of the complex nature of communication of the biology beneath our feet.

In 100 years, our descendants will be horrified.

New silver bullets are the same as old silver bullets, but these are easy to fire at your own feet.
