@RustyCrab my favourite is that it's enabled by default for Markdown and LaTeX and it fails miserably at writing documentation. It would make up commands or functions that didn't exist all the time.
Still pretty decent for boilerplate and unit testing imo but I just didn't want to pay $100 for another year

@nuko They used to just never load, I tried looking into the problem and it's probably the fact that there are like 3 years worth of posts in the database and the postgres query at the end takes an eternity even with meilisearch almost instantly returning results 02sad
I could purge all the old posts but I don't want to. There's probably something I've configured wrong with my backup solution but I am stupid so who knows 02shrug

@bajax it depends on the place and also like 90% luck you basically just need to cram your CV with buzzwords so the AI scanning everything passes you to an actual human

@creamqueen @gray there's also the largely overblown but still happened streetcar conspiracy, where a bunch of auto companies bought and then ripped out old unprofitable streetcar lines to replace them with busses before those unprofitable entities got dumped onto the cities leaving most of them languishing like they do today.
Fun!

CoreWeave (business model: Uber for Nvidia Graphics cards) is a very funny company because they pivoted from being a crypto company before crypto exploded everywhere andsomehow managed to IPO despite being massively in debt and nowhere near profitable
Good job, OpenAI and Nvidia for propping absolute garbage up.
