Half of them definitely just making PowerPoints and attending meetings. You’d probably end up with 5 devs actually doing something and a marketing/advertisement department, I guess

Yea, fuck all this AI development and companies pushing it into everything… but I’m not really convinced that AI is gonna be our doom. We’re doing it to ourselves already just fine without them.

I’d imagine inducing stress and manipulation if anything. Pormanove and the fourth guy were and are both mentally challenged and thus more easily manipulated and coerced. Also no way you don’t see the signs coming from your “friend” after streaming together for more than a year and a half

I do find AI useful when I’m debugging a large SQL / Python script though and gotta say I make use of it in that case… other than that it’s useless and relying on it as ones main tool is idiotic

Just like next quarter’s finance numbers for USA will coincidentally just all the great stuff Trump has achieved!

As a “European” my electricity bill has never been as low as it is this year. I think it really depends where you live

Great invention… Just uses hooorribly wrong. The classic capitalist greed, just gotta get on the wagon and roll it on out so you don’t mias out on a potential paycheck

You and me both. Good luck!

Many places in Europe are wonderful. Generally speaking I think you’re quite fine when it comes to LGBT rights, especially in the Western countries, and metros and public transportation in general are commonplace, but I wouldn’t expect free internet and freedom of expression to be around in a handful years.

I’d expect it to be cracked down entirely within the next 2-3 years. The EU has wet dreams of absolute control

The SVM government as a whole is huge on expanding surveillance and the police force - I don’t see that it’s just a small group of activists within the parties. I’m just glad other EU countries aren’t biting on this bs

It’s not “Danish activists” but rather the government. As a Dane I know how horny these people are to create a fullblown police/nanny state. SVM (the name for the government) is terrible for all of us. Can’t wait to see their voter share drastically diminish at the next election, but clearly they can do a lot of harm first…

LLMs are absolutely amazing for a lot of things. I use it at work all the time to check code blocks or remembering syntax. It is NOT and should NOT be your main source of general information and we collectively have to realise how problematic and energy consuming they are.

This is exactly how I feel too! As a “cloud engineer” (even the titles are pointless) the last thing I want to do is to have anything to do with tech whatsoever, even if I like my job

It’s only implemented in 4 countries and mine doesn’t even use Euro

It’s not just a “business decision”. It’s about control and they’re connected. You’re naive if you don’t see the bigger picture

It’s the slowly boiling water, mate. You think governments give a fuck whether some neckbeards play incest video games in their mum’s basement? It’s about power and expanding the reach of what they can monitor and control. One day it’s porn games the next day it’s books. It’s a tiny step towards a more and more authoritarian world.

What is wrong with that? It’s not like actual democracies are a thing. The elites somewhat allow us to decide on “Western bullshit” topics such as killing games, gendered bathrooms, national dishes, and other issues that don’t affect their bottom lines. They don’t allow us to influence geopolitics. Sure you can yell about freeing Congo, and it should be… but ehh, if some people care about stop killing games then whatever. Anything positive is something - and I don’t even really play video games or care about this thing.

And what do you recommend paying with instead?

No shit… you think it’d be fair to devs and creators if you could just buy the game, play it for 15 hours and then get a refund every time?
