I've just invented an app that auto-generates prescriptions from a patient's description of their symptoms. Soon we won't need doctors!
Instead, we'll just need patients with medical training.

So I attempted to work with ChatGPT on an original coding problem, starting with a set of business requirements. After nearly 3 hours, I'm giving up. I've been unable to get a complete source listing from it, particularly as ot rewrites the code on every attempt.

I genuinely hope labour does have a plan to fix the structural failures of Britain’s economy, because the 49% of people willing to vote for them will be extremely disappointed if that plan turns out to be ASBOs and skills wallets.
After Kwarteng's screw up I had slightly less money in one of my savings accounts than I had put in.
Sit down.

🚨 Not satisfied with raising taxes on doctor's pensions. Keir Starmer now wants to raid your hard earned savings.

Apparently after about a hundred years of the completely unsuccessful war on drugs what Labour thinks we need is more war on drugs. Alternatively, we could look at countries where drug policy is based in evidence rather than by the right wing cult. Grownups, apparently.

If you're wondering what is going on in #France, this is about a lot more than pension reform
The pension reform is unjust in & of itself (women & poor people will be the ones most impacted). But the rage French people are expressing right now is about Macron's hatred for democracy. Since his reelection just one year ago, he has bypassed parliament 11 times, more than all govs in the previous 20 years put together

“The rule of law is the foundation for everything. Margaret Thatcher called it the first duty of government - and she was right about that” – Keir Starmer.

Someone told him there's a by-election in the Sellafield constituency. https://twitter.com/kennardmatt/status/1638814794361761792
@zimpenfish That is true - and the other problem is often people in a hurry hacking instead of thinking and then running away.
I wasn't wrong, was I?

All these people saying "the chancellor should do X or Y in the budget"
Grow up
He'll line the pockets of the wealthy, kick the poor and disadvantaged in the nads, lie about it, and then fund some schemes so his mates can pocket even more money
Stop pretending Tories have ears

We're supposed to simultaneously believe that Johnson is one of the greatest intellects of modern English politics and someone incapable of understanding simple rules around social distancing.

I'm looking forward to maintaining code that nobody on the team wrote and doesn't necessarily work. https://twitter.com/satyanadella/status/1638575732032143360

ChatGPT is the world's most well-read idiot
Definitely. Plus the later versions with the autoboxing (iir the name correctly) and (finally) lambdas is quite mature. Took a long time to get there though.
I'd still stay away from committee-led massive consultancy fees nonsense like EJBs though.
Just typing all those curly braces, and everything is a noun, memories make me shudder. :)
Although - Java or the JVM? There are a lot of interesting things that use the JVM.

Remember, we are paying for this man’s £3.7m bonus by way of the energy bill support scheme.
Wouldn’t it be better to stop paying obscene bonuses and stakeholder dividends, and permanently reduce bills instead?
Renationalise energy now! https://twitter.com/bbcnews/status/1638580336064970752
@elan Originally it was the only thing you could do if you didn't want to Microsoft. Now, I suspect there's millions of lines of stuff and it's become millennial COBOL.

I suggest boycotting the Guardian actually.
