Lately I have seem some Reddit posts with bullet points. I know it's a Power Point cliche, but that style almost never showed up on Reddit until about a year ago. I think a lot of those posts are AI-generated.

For a while I worked on defects for a web app at a large corporation. Users would submit walls of text, with a lot of unneeded details. A lot of people need help organizing their thoughts.

If they do, then AI writing will incorporate them.

So why is the headquarters in Charlotte, genius?

A lot of things can happen between 1928 and 1999.

NationsBank also "took the Bank of America name".

Actually it does not have roots in Bank of Italy.

In 2000, NationsBank in Charlotte bought Bank of America. They used the BofA name, but the NB people ran things. Hugh McColl had been the CEO of NB for years, and he was CEO of BofA for a year. The next CEO, Ken Lewis, was also from NB. I worked for BofA in Chicago from 2001 to 2009. I talked to people in Charlotte all the time. I almost never talked to people in California.

Now that I think about it, I dealt with people in a lot of regions of the US, but almost nobody on the West Coast.

Yes.

I am tired of my time in tech being just using MS products that all depend on each other.

> AI companies are panicking and gaslighting us about what their newest models can actually do

I think they have been gaslighting us from the beginning.

>> No one has ever made a purchasing decision based on how good your code is.

> absolutely false.

Actually, you are both correct.

Nobody makes a purchasing decision based on code quality.

But they may later regret a purchasing decision based on code quality.

> Ugh, you are not entitled to get to know me.

If your comment is at all indicative of how you are in real life, I really don't think you have to worry about people wanting to get to know you.

Maybe there will be models-as-a-service, MaaS as well. Pay extra for no ads. Like Proton Mail vs Gmail.

It has been in use for at least a decade, since the Obama administration if not earlier.

We have soldiers, sailors, airman/women, Marines (who really do not like being called soldiers), Coast Guardsman/women, and now the Space Force. Granted, I do not know why "service member" did not catch on. Perhaps because "warfighter" is a bit shorter.

One issue w/sci fi is that sci fi takes place in the future and/or has advanced technology then it is more likely to look dated than a typical sitcom where the sets are offices and living rooms.

When he was alive a lot of people said Epstein was really smart.

But I have read some of his emails, and all of the ones I have seen are full of spelling, punctuation, grammar and capitalization errors. I would not gotten out of sixth grade if I wrote like that.

Their companies are all doing well (although I think the jury is out on OpenAI). So did they fail? Graham seems to measure a person's success by the success of their company.

> 10. 10th prompt: Ugh, everytime I fix one thing, something else breaks

Maybe that is the time to start making changes by hand. I think this dream of humans never ever writing any more code might be too far and unnecessary.

OT, but thank you for linking to old.reddit.com.

The new Reddit web interface is an abomination.
