Unfortunately, if it’s the variant where the Nebraska guy is replaced with Curl, then that’s the case.

Ironic that one of the biggest complaints about AI these days is that it's stealing from artists, and the OP couldn't even follow the CC-BY-NC license that xkcd is released under...

Granted that you didn't know, hence it wasn't malicious. And in this day and age remaking memes is common and nobody blinks an eye. But no, there's no requirement that the image contains author / copyright info / whatever. It's legally on the person reusing it to know and abide by the rules.

Then again, I'm sure Randall would fully support what you're doing in this image.

This is so brilliant, I'm actually jealous that I didn't think of it.

Eh - I kind of want to see something that isn’t a perfectly shaped wedge that easily slipped in.

...easily slipped in.

I dont know, tech companies have been pretty hamfisted about getting AI in everyone's face

Edit: Ah wait, now that I think about this longer despite my migraine, I think you're right. Should be like a wedge that transitions to a giant butt plug.

You seem to be missing how the whole thing is now precariously off-balance.

It's off center, but still balanced because it hasn't fallen. I think the point was a more accurate metaphor would be a wedge with a curve, so as it gets shoved in more (and clearly we're not done shoving it in yet), things get far more tilted, until...

Until a vibration hits, or someone blows gently on the blocks at the top right.

In the sense of the metaphor, I think any of those things would have knocked it down long ago. Which says something about the odd resilience of our real systems. Not to mean they'll stay that way, it's just surprising sometimes.

Ypu have no idea how much energy is spent maintaining these old shits running. Spent a week trying to update a 18 year old application. For now, we failed.

I have an idea how much energy is spent trying to replace older working systems with crap that doesn't. We definitely are failing.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 1 point 1 year ago

Yeah same though. Can't have nice thing when you keep piling crap on crap

There's a piece of software that I use at work for managing tickets for a client, every time I open it there's a note that the app will be replaced next month on the 1st. This notice gets updated on the 27th of each month without fail by the end of day. For now critical infrastructure remains running on a windows xp machine that we remote into using the only software that let's people connect to it.
