You haven't even seen the thing they're going to serve you, nor is there any description of it. Just that shitty picture. Quote

Edit: @Chest Rockwell this is on their FB page and as its a public page, I think its ok to post here. Matey looks broken 😆 Spoiler I still reckon I could do it.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted November 3 Paid Members Posted November 3 How do they make money on the sandwich if it's free for people who eat it all, and £20 going straight to the veterans charity for people who don't? Either way it's still a free sandwich, you either eat it all in one or for a £20 charity donation you can take the rest home with you for leftovers. Quote
SoloJones Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Also, doesn't that strongly imply that by beating the challenge, you aren't supporting the veterans because they won't get a donation? Quote
Paid Members FLips Posted November 4 Paid Members Posted November 4 Is it just a long baguette full of beans and those little bean sausages? Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 4 Moderators Posted November 4 (edited) It looks like a Christmas sandwich? Turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets and gravy. Edit - Oh I hadn't seen the photo that bacon added that looks like it's just beans on toast. Edited November 4 by Chest Rockwell Quote
DavidB6937 Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Used to get told off as a kid for beating my baguette. Now they want me to go in a café and do it? Times have changed. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted November 4 Paid Members Posted November 4 Didn't Adam Richman starve himself for a day before and spend the day of the challenge exercising and the likes to work up an appetite when he did that kind of stuff for Man Vs Food? Quote
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted November 4 Paid Members Posted November 4 Feel bad for Lord Kitchener, should be him on the poster, not least because a sandwich is made in a kitchen. Quote

Maybe the sandwich shop is near a church on a hill. This is actually the second draft because the person who made the poster was looking for cheaper car insurance beforehand. Ooooh yes. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted Monday at 07:43 PM Paid Members Posted Monday at 07:43 PM https://note.com/eichan_sh/n/nb8234902a133?hl=en Good article here about AI dramas being a complete bust in China. Ample fodder if you like frolicking in the failure of AI enterprises. Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted 12 hours ago Paid Members Posted 12 hours ago Warning: Positive AI Post. (Sorry.) This could go in the work thread, I guess but, I've been meaning to write about this for a few days. I'm an AI sceptic. I fucking hate any AI "art" or "graphics" or any of that bollocks. I've been asked to use AI in our dev team for the last year or so. Originally Copilot and then Claude. I didn't really. I used it a token few times (pun intended) for stuff I could have googled but otherwise, I was happier writing stuff myself and working with my couple of other devs to give them work. I told my boss during a meeting where I got a kick-in for not using it "I don't want to work with a bloody robot". A couple of months ago, both my devs, along with most others in our department were let go. I was furious. Devastated for them, as people, and fuming that our fucking cheapskate people had cut us to the bare bones leaving just me and fucking Claude. If I was in any position to, I would definitely have quit but I can assure you, I'm not. Anyway, given the amount of work we had to deliver and the complexity of some of it, I didn't really have any choice but to try and embrace Claude. I can only admit at this point that it has been incredible. That's probably no surprise to anyone who works with it already, or maybe anyone who doesn't hate the AI world but, it was a surprise to me. The quality of the code, the thoroughness of the conversation, the things it thinks of that even I hadn't. It's really brilliant. What I've acheived in the last couple of months has been incredibly reinvigorating for me. Instead of going to work dreading every conversation and every task being thrown on the pile, we're smashing it. We've simultaenously done all of the customer tasks we have to do and also thrown tons and tons of the internal ideas we've had on some board for years that we'd never have gotten around to in a month of Sundays. There's something incredibly satisfying about being able to do things you want to do as well as those you have to do. I really don't like having a positive view of it. It doesn't really sit well with me but it's the truth. Fuck knows how long it will last. Sure they'll start quibbling about tokens or something at some point and want something cheaper. Quote
