If they were separate divisions in the same company, each with their respective target audiences, it should be fine. Something like Toyota & Lexus for example. Sure you can get a spiffy luxurious Camry, but it’s obviously not the same target audience as an LS450.
And I feel like in time the structure of the architecture in gaming focused cards will deviate from the AI focused ones, which we’re already seeing to some degree.
That pointless gold plaque continues to have the best ROI ever.
As a manager of 4, I now get 20x the AI slop PRs I have to read through and try to convince the developers they’re doing it wrong. AI use has made my job way more exhausting and while productivity increased, it’s fairly obvious that understanding has not. Even my most senior team members turn their brains off and become meat proxies.
I have to keep reminding them “I don’t care what Claude found, I care what you think about it and how you’re personally going to own a fix for it”.
They run Claude it makes a PR and even if you pay close attention, no one knows what a PR someone else wrote as well as the person who wrote it.
I used to be near a local shop (i moved and need to find a new one) I could get some from, otherwise I’ve ordered from Amazon or Newegg in the past.
Thanks for the reminder to order new batteries for one of mine and one of my parents UPS’s.
Let’s be fair, You always have to kill the buzzer. Like, it’s the first option I look for on a UPS. And I have ripped them out of lesser ones. I know the power is out, I don’t need a buzzer/beeper. And I’ve got the thing monitored with automatic shutdowns.
Have a plan for something you’ll do if you can’t sleep. Nothing exciting, and nothing overly interesting or complicated… do laundry/fold clothes, organize something, etc.
And consistently hold yourself to a steady bedtime and routine.
I wouldn’t qualify it as a Gen Z thing. As a Xennial, I have a quite a few Gen Z coworkers and most of them actively talk about recipes and meals they’re making and they are not just slapping some Mac and Cheese together and calling it. Some of the meals they’re talking about cooking are fairly advanced. At least two have dedicated pizza ovens and make their own dough. A number of them are cooking involved multi-course meals I’d never have tried until I was in my late 30’s… Hearing their recipes and such I’m fairly impressed on a regular basis.
I think it’s more related to experience and available time and CASH. One of them has fallen a bit back into hello fresh, a few times a week, but they just had a kid, so no blame there.
I average about 7 yrs between phones. But that’s mostly due to software needing more ram or storage than I’ve got available and finally giving up.
Profit could be defined differently than just money. If I can use tools to make more food easier and faster, so my village can eat and better prepare for famine, is that profit?
If so, AI efficiency gains would mean we would need to employ fewer people to keep outputs the same. This could mean more unemployment or more companies doing different things, likely overlapping causing competition but potentially more waste.
A lot of people/companies that use it do it not to directly make money, but for productivity gains and automation that saves time or money or finding issues they didn’t know they had before other people do.
It’s like saying “what if there was no profit from using this chainsaw over a two person bow saw to cut down a tree.” I am not directly profiting off of the chainsaw, but it saves me paying a person and allows me to be more efficient.
The only people “making money” from AI are the companies hosting it, and there are plenty of local models you can run instead, they just might not be as good/scaleable yet.
No, I am across the pond.
Huh, worked here, no paywall or popup. Didn’t even need reader mode.
What was wrong with just asking a person for what I want? No one asked for more layers of BS and dependency on the internet being functional and a remote service and layers of abstraction and power use and “the system is down” problems. Just give me my damn coffee so I can leave caffeinated.
I lived in a city with an air force base for a while. People had bumper stickers pointing out that they “Love Jet Noise” and that it is the sound of freedom.
“Might” == “Have been for some time, just that we’re now getting to the obvious point”
Starting a war that spikes gas prices is a great way to sell EVs. And since they dropped the rebate, the government can keep that extra cash!
Only if it fills their pockets.
At this point, I think they believe it’s a good indicator of potential. A way of saying just how awesome and magical and powerful the AI is.
Otherwise the “AI went off the rails and breached X companies servers” would also have been met with contempt and negatively impacted them.
I feel like everyone who cared about reddit closing its API, is here. (I know that’s why I moved here and haven’t been back since.) I stopped using Twitter around the time they started charging more, but Elon kinda killed what was left anyway. I left facebook 10+yrs ago at this point, so I don’t know about their API.
Honestly though, API’s aren’t that big of a deal to 99.9% of people.
