Love getting flagged by an AI service for using AI to plagiarise coursework.

They quote a reference on a AI slop outlet site which scraped the content from another source.

That source was….

Meeeeeeee

Currently arguing with their submissions team.

I’ve been really burned out of modern gaming for a few years now. Sure there’s the odd gem, but there’s a good reason I’ve not been compelled to upgrade my 1080Ti. Arguably the best consumer GPU card ever released, turning 9 years old this month. I’ve been drawn to older, more polished, more mechanically sound games, entirely unphased by the allure of raytracing and more Ks to the screen. This isn’t nostalgia talking. Looking back you can see key points where the artistry and passion of it all met rampant commercialism. I’ve figured it out. It’s the 1997-1998 transition.

In a ditch or abandoned at the side of the road. Day 1. Depending on deployment numbers.

Almost certainly by week 2.

Just you wait. These people have no clue what car combat awaits an unattended car on UK roads. It’s bad enough in the US.

Because there’s no data to suggest there’s a problem. As the article clearly says.

There is however data to show significant road safety benefits to LED headlights.

Except the new Ford Puma. Fuck that car and its skyward pointing headlights.

The PlayStation 2 was so popular that production and subsequent sales of it continued throughout the entire PS3 era until the launch of the PS4.

You could buy a *retail* new PS2, PS3, and PS4 in stores, on the same day.

A true testament to the popularity and longevity of good hardware well supported.

I am LOVING seeing so many AI projects being paused or binned.

There’s one silver lining in the mass layoffs, they can’t lay off their absurd investment in power, cooling, and hardware. Loss adjusters and liquidators are rubbing their hands with glee.

Also, many silicon spinners are demanding 5 year agreements on production. It’s go big or go home time, and there will be some casualties.

One org I reluctantly work with pivoted their entire operating model to AI and agents, and they royally screwed their staff over.

They’re now hiring them as consultants at twice their original salary as everything fell on it’s arse, and who knew that go to market suits with a prompt can’t keep infrastructure or business running. Hilariously I know one engineer negotiated a one-sided 12 month contract notice period.

These people are going to get desperate, fast. Fetch the s’mores and let em roast.

Thankfully it’s a secondary account and I just need to move some services off it.

I have 384TB of ECC DDR4 across two blades with 4 CPUs for a combined core count of 96.

It powers a fully populated 192 disk solid state SAN.

I was told it was old and in need of replacing, but apparently now it’s worth more than the GDP of the UK.

Can’t afford to run it (or hear my thoughts when in the vicinity)… but I can sit atop it like a fucking dragon.

And I will.

Does anyone know how to view contents of a directory in Windows transparently, without folders?

I just want to see all the files in a flat structure.

I’d use smart folders or search on MacOS.

Edit: well versed in the cli side of things, was hoping for a gui solution, which now seems unlikely!
