my 2 cents… not everybody sees the same prices at Amazon… that is part of their dynamic gouging

in most cases yes… but not if the plan is just to turn Venezuela into an all you can eat buffet for the American regime

I agree… I hate my own comment

studies like these show Americans have a truly representative government now

hmm I thikk a lot of the apathy you speak of comes from social media influencing youth

I hate headlines like this. I’d love to hear the REASONS WHY Plex are doing all of this.

1. Greed… do you really need 3 more?

Before someone says “the reason is money” we need to ask: do the developers of Jellyfin not use money? Why won’t the same thing just happen to them too?

Plex is a private company wanting money… Jellyfin is a voluteer-drive effort

Before someone says “enshittification,” we need to ask: does this mean Jellyfin will soon have the same problems?

Enshitification happens to privately develop products due to <checks notes> greed… Jellyfin is not a private company pushing a product for profit

We all seem to love Jellyfin so I think we need to understand the actual reason why, or this will just continue happening.

Back to “greed”

I love it when, rarely as it may be since I block ads as much as possible, I get a completely unrelated-to-me ad… it just means they have no clue who I am

so much so that in Canada, we can now easily recognize the American traits we copied vs the European ones… finally people seem to realize everything American is basically cancer

same!… heck work updated my laptop from win10 to 11 and now the “Windows App” won’t run… IT dude gave up trying to fix it and order a swap

This is a laptop used, at most once a week, for regular office bs and it basically self destroyed just through windose updates

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch

interesting, how come?

hahahaha good additional details on the analogy

I’m reading a book where they mention “Ambience” systems… basically nanobots floating in the air everywhere so you can just ask something and literally hear voices with the answer or suddenly see images floating in front of your face.

Imagine that tech in this stupid timeline…

I still don’t understand any benefit from having a screen on my fridge… but now I hate them, thanks Samsung

It’s more like offering a plumber a room in your house to stay in 24/7 so they can be on-call when you need them.

Again I get your point… but no reasonable plumber would make that mistake.

If I invite the dumbest plumber alive into my home, show him the leaky tub and say “I have to work but do whatever you need”… they would understand the context to mean “do whatever you need to fix the tub”… I doubt they would go make themselves a sandwich, grab a beer from the fridge and invite their buddies for a BBQ at my place and then say “but you said I could do whatever I needed”

I absolutely understand what happened here. The point is there is no benefit to these Agentic AIs because they need to be as supervised as a monkey with a knife… why would I ever want that? let alone need that

While I see your point, I had to travel a lot for work a few years back… and I got tired of seeing moms, dads and girlfriends making a show at the airport about how their sons/boyfriends/husbands were going to war to DEFEND the USA and PROTECT xyz

I think the brain washing has been thorough enough that they’ll have enough meat for the grinder.

If the people of the USA did not revolt after the WMD fiasco and the American lives lost there, I doubt another war for profit would be any different

Loving my Linux wife… 15 years of computer bliss and counting! hehehehe

This is EXACTLY the YouTube woodworkers dilemma…

TONs of YT channels to show people how to do woodwork would normally showcase $50K worth of equipment to show how to make a cutting board.

The thing is, people with access to such equipment, already know how to make a cutting board and are learning nothing from you… on the other hand, newbies who what to know what is this “sanding” thing they have heard, will not benefit from the vid since they do not have those tools, they’d have crappy manual tools at most.

Therefore, those videos are completely useless for learning… at best, they made for good background noise while people eat their lunches in their cubicles

Absolutely… this just illustrates that these AI tools are, at best, some assistance that need to be kept on a very short leash… which can only be properly done by people who already know how to do the work the AI is supposed to assist with.

But that is NOT what the AI bubblers are peddling

No, not at all

I get what you are saying but any reasonable entity would understand that telling someone at the door “come in”, does not mean “come in my wife’s ass”

Specifically the “without permission” in the title, relates to the fact the AI did not ask about it… it simply took a previously granted right to run commands and ran any/all commands without warning.

If you and I were working on a project together and nothing is working right, I could say “hmm let’s start over” and you would know it means “let’s start the project from scratch”, not “let’s wipe the data centre”
