Any chance for big-business conservatives to scare the uneducated with the boogeymen of regulation and taxation on the wealthy (NBC is owned by Comcast, and is run by Michael Cavenaugh, a former banking and private-equity CEO).

Unfortunately in addition, they took all the money for like three tech booms and slammed it all into that one cycle because the US economy was very stagnant and it seemed like their only move that made line go up. Whole thing has been exhausting.

I’m tired, boss.

Yep, massive irony. But it’s what I’d expect from the AI cognitively-decayed. They are literally berating someone publically, while complaining that they did the same (as you point out they did not).

I don’t understand why people like AppleTV so much, we have one too.

It had the worst interface by far of any streaming or video player we use. Its like Apple went out of their way to make it unintuitive.

Same, that good will has evaporated though as he’s continued to demonstrate poor decision-making and social skills. Bad traits for a business leader.

I have a lifetime Simplelogin account because I love that service… It’s now part of proton (as they bought it), so I think I’m stuck.

Yeah, the mechanism discussed in this paper is via Facebook ‘share’ content frames and cookies, not relevant for anyone who disables JavaScript via NoScript or blocks third-party cookies.

Which I’m guessing based on past comments is 80%+ of Lemmy users. Including me.

Hate mob?

Tim Sweeney’s cognitive decline is showing.

Well… not me specifically, they’re not.

No

The new ‘offshoring’, now that term has aged and become less desirable.

Fire 5000 because of ‘AI-driven efficiencies’.

Over the next year, slowly rehire 7500 through offshore service providers when that delivers massive issues (don’t say it failed of course, and don’t re-hire all at once). No cheaper, but it allows management to pretend they are modern-thinking early adapters of leading tech.

This is because they couldn’t figure out how to add card deck microtransactions into their games.

EA is dead and I’d love to see some actually good soccer and sports games come out to challenge their only remaining viable market sector, so they can be wiped out of the industry entirely.

Else they’ll just keep buying actual game developers and publishers with their soccer-card money, enshittifying them, and closing them in this endless loop we’ve been watching play out for at least a decade.

I can’t wait to see what Elon can do for Tesla with the extra budget from rolling it into SpaceX.

Imagine how many amazing new promises and forecasts can be made and broken.

SI as an acronym is already very widely used globally, so it annoys me that it’s encroaching on a more useful acronym also.

Just in: CEO says thing

I think it’s referring to Linus using AI to develop a python GUI in January for a personal pet project (AudioNoise).

It was the beginning of this cognitive outsourcing that’s led to him telling people with entirely legitimate concerns (e.g. that LLM output can’t be copyrighted, so it can’t be licensed as GPLv2) that he’d ignore them all and to “fork it or walk away”, to people who have developed the kernel for many years of their lif… To now - hiding LLM commits to obfuscate kernel commit info.

I respect and appreciate Linus, but the recent developments highlight a larger (and old) problem of Linux - a single point of failure in Linus and the BDFL attitude. He’ll eventually leave the kernel in some way, and while there are drafts and proposals for a succession plan - none have been seriously considered to the point of any action by Linus. He remains the kernel BDFL, and Linux kernel development remains neither a meritocracy nor a democracy.

Fingerprints have been ‘the new cookies’ for like 20 years, so I think it’s starting to stretch the definition of ‘new’.

Which would suit me fine if it was just that sector’s value that evaporated. I’d be happy to never hear of OpenAI, Anthropic or even NVidia ever again. But it won’t just wipe them our, it’ll hit the vast array of banks, investment funds (including people’s superannuation and 401ks) funding them, and kill the world economy.

It should still definitely happen though, and sooner rather than later, the longer it’s delayed the bigger the bubble gets and the longer the recovery is likely to be.

Pretty weird to read the author’s joy of pre-AI coding, their concerns about what’s happened over the last few years to open source and public repo management, have them laser-focus on exactly where it all went wrong… and then at 2/3rds though the article go, “oh btw I use AI constantly and I’m not changing, and I don’t suggest anyone change. Its just such damn shame, I can’t think of a solution”.

Solution is right there, friend.

Return to monke.

Ban the slop on your repos (as many projects have). Go back to using your brain. Go back to enjoying coding, and the community of coding with others through open source.
