Not me. As soon as my boss said, “Use the tool thoughtfully,” I pretty much don’t use it at all anymore.

Inflation adjusted productivity.

And water usage???

Even a human support tech shouldn’t have that much power. That should be a request to a completely different team that gets hard off of telling people “No”.

Next steps I’m sure. Then they ban you from printing anything that resembles a patented device, anything that looks like a medical device (can’t skip certification), and anything that looks like a toy (SAVE THE CHILDREN!).

If looking at the UI source code is hacking…

Huh. Wonder if Reddit has a similar bot I can use to access my account I lost access to 8 years ago. 🤔

No, I wouldn’t post again but there’s lots of saved posts etc. I wish I had.

If they try to deceive me by making the outside look handwritten or using wording like “FINAL NOTICE” then yeah, straight in the trash without a 2nd look. If it’s obviously an ad from the get go I’ll usually give it a skim at least.

At this point, grads and undergrads only hope is to work their asses off developing anti-AI tech that blocks scraping, poisons data sets, and exploits unsophisticated bots to turn on their masters. 😈

Online advertising is a cancer I would say. When I get an ad mailer I’ll look through pretty much the whole thing, because it’s most likely local businesses and I know just looking won’t come back to bite me in any way.

Then lays off half it’s workforce to save costs and relies on AI to make up the difference.

And nothing of value was lost.

Or teaching parents how to parent properly, or cracking down on addictive social media algorithms, or researching the ill affects of pornography, or providing counseling to teens and adults harmed by dangerous materials.

If it wasn’t for the PATRIOT Act I would’ve said the USPS should’ve gotten with the times and offered low-cost email services.

No, our answer is that EVs are dumb and that oil is the only energy source that matters in this century and every century to come.

My real problem is that they’re basically computers but they’re locked down. A few hundred more and I can get something completely customizable, with a wider selection of games at better prices, and performance is about the same. And of course you can do a lot more with a regular PC.

I’d be more open to buying one if they supported running Linux OOTB (without hacking or voiding warranties etc.) even if it was a dual boot or a VM situation. Either that or a big price drop. I thought consoles used to be able to do more with less because of high optimization but maybe that’s not a priority anymore.

I know it would be logistically difficult to give every customer a fair refund for tariffs, so I’d be willing to spilt the diff and say every non-managerial employee should get the tariffs paid back as a tax-free bonus.

Software is one thing, but giving a private company a steady stream of government data? That’s fucking madness.

I would actually prefer to move off all the important stuff and let it otherwise fill with garbage.

Given the massive amount of land we have renewables are the clear winner. Densely populated countries, with little to no coastline, would get better use out of nuclear.
