@mhoye I'm re-reading "Do Artifacts Have Politics?" and nodding so hard that my neck is starting to hurt.
"At issue is the claim that the machines, structures, and systems of modern material culture can be accurately judged not only for their contributions of efficiency and productivity, not merely for their positive and negative environmental side effects, but also for the ways in which they can embody specific forms of power and authority."
That's only the opening paragraph.
Great news everyone thanks to my significant advances in modern algorithmic analysis I am personally able to outperform a warehouse full of specialized GPUs by five orders of magnitude with a single ARM core for one one-millionth the cost in 0.1% of the time by training the "cp" command on only the GCC source and then compiling the output of that program with GCC.
The resulting compiler - which I'm calling "mhoyecc", or as I've taken to calling it, mhoye plus cc, passes 100% of GCC's tests.

somebody call the UN i need everyone to know about the existential risks to society of unchecked use of the cp command or as I am calling it, mhoye's basilisk

@mhoye would you like 500 billion dollars?

Quick start writing fanfic. Perhaps "Mr Men and the the methods of non-profit grifting"
@mhoye To illustrate the difference between the long term moral implications of using the cp command vis-a-vis the mv command, I wrote this 2000 page Star Wars Extended Universe fan fiction. Grand Admiral Thrawn and a clone of Palpatine have to convince the Rogue Squadron of…

@mhoye double-shot espresso this morning?
@mhoye Ah see, now you've named it, and it sounds scary. That should get some folks attention!
@[email protected] Well, first you need to let thousands starve to avoid accidentally offending it in the future when it will time travel you into torment for having... checks notes... been nice to people who lived at the same time as you.
> This was a clean-room implementation (Claude did not have internet access at any point during its development)
Talking of words meaning something, calling it 'clean-room' when the training data included an implementation of what was being built is... not how I would use those words, at the very least. I also suspect it is not how a lot of lawyers and judges would use those words, either...

@mhoye @mavnn "clean room" in the sense of what your colleagues see via your webcam.

@mhoye bonus points if you pipe stuff into sed 's/gcc/mhoyecc/g' for just a tiny more amount of power

@gabrielesvelto Whoa man, that's crazy talk. I can't just pipe a codebase through _sed_ and pretend it's mine, I'm not that waterfox guy.
