Don’t know if this has been fixed but Gemini was telling people it’s unethical to teach people C++ or memory management.
Because it’s considered “memory unsafe” but Gemini took it literally and considered it to unsafe to teach.
C++ is an infohazard

Joke aside, everytime people gush over AI, I always have to remind them that AI is just a puppy that learnt how to maximise treats, and not actually understand shit. And this is a perfectly good example.
No, you can’t say “master,” either.
That one i get at least. But race condition is using race in the sense of a competition.
You do? Because I don’t. There is nothing racist about the concept of master. Is a masterpiece racist? Are master tapes, Are post-graduate degrees racist? We may as well declare “work” insensitive because slaves had to work.
Don’t get me wrong, there are many terms we should adjust. I just can’t see how “master” is one of them.
I’d argue that abolishing the term “slave” isn’t the worst idea, implying that the word “master,” only in context where it’s paired with “slave,” should go as well - but that, of course, requires nuance, which a simple word filter lacks.
This. To avoid the “master” branch on our git to be associated with “slave” I now name new branches “bitch”
There aren’t “slaves” in git, though. The term “master” in that context is that of a master copy.
It’s called “ethnic group condition”
Good old Scunthorpe problem
Race conditions can make you a racist,
If you- Are behind the wheel of a racecar
- You are on a racetrack
Then there’s no nice way to say it, you might be a racist, drive safe
Wait until you try to do something that involves managing child processes
Can’t the master kill all slaves and childs (processes)? It’s in the manual!
Relevant meme
I sure hope this meme was edited or the op is satire. The dead internet has messed so many people up.
I’m pretty sure it is satire. However, it would be hilarious if it was real.
