    Fake money for criminals helped me buy weed when I didn’t have a local dealer. It’s also how I pay for Mullvad. So fake money for criminals wins.

      Fake criminal money more legit than government money. One day I woke up to the news that all my deposits are frozen indefinitely, that I am not allowed to carry cash abroad, and that I am not allowed to get bank accounts or transfers from any foreign institutions. .Thank fuck for crypto and that I had some. It literally saved my life, so yeah, fake criminal money by a long shot for me.

      Fake money for criminals is unironically a decent addition to the world, although it’s coded in a really dumb way. Plagiarism machine is overhyped right now, but it also has some legit uses.

      So, the poll actually seems about right.

        Even the chatbots now can write code that compiles and does what you tell it to. I’m a system analyst and can code but I am slow. Now I can give a design to any of them and get code that works in a couple of hours, with most of the time spent iterating toward the right result

        In the past it often took a week of afternoons and late nights to turn an idea into working code. I can see why programmers fear for their jobs

          It has some serious reliability and scalability issues as of last I checked, but yes, if you’re a skilled programmer who can check for shit like this:

          it’s a good force multiplier.
