Everyone is saying it

So efficient!

Don’t threaten me with a good time. Deliver it.

I love this. Hit me in the right spot. Thanks.

Guillotines. Invest now before it’s too late!

Even the headline is wrong. Jobs have already started disappearing due to AI.

I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol

This is the best response on here.

…and holy fuck, what a great game.

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.

The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).

“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:

• it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition

• it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters

In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.

Yay for English.

Vibe coding is horrible in the wrong hands, but a skilled programmer can utilise it to carry out boring tasks.

If things continue as they are, eventually there will be no more skilled programmers.

iyes :wq

Trump has been President for 6 of the last 10 years.

Yeah, this is a major issue across the board. For a wide variety of products, if they clearly marked which were AI generated, then the sales would likely speak for themselves.

But companies don’t really want to do this. They want to mix AI slop in with regular products, so that over time, the average consumer dumbs down enough to no longer know the difference. Then they just generate every product ever and number go up.

This still ignores the fact that no one will have money to put into the system from the bottom (which is the only way it flows in an economy), but here we are.

That’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be better since it’s 100% free. It could be considerably worse and still be the better choice for the price.

The fact that it’s mostly on par is absolute gravy.

You can change your name to whatever you want. Imagine if your last name were Epstein, or Trump. No one would question your motivation.

This is a bit of an oversimplification.

If in the US, you can generally change your name at whim, usually after a petition and fee. But it depends on your state. Some states require a hearing to do a name change. Some require a publication, and some will only allow the change after a waiting period.

All states will generally deny name change requests which are deemed to be fraudulent (details of that depend on state), to avoid debt, or to be harmful/hateful to others. Sometimes the definitions of these terms is not terribly clear, in which case the state can simply deny it with vague reasoning.

Edit: ans apologies if this isn’t in the US. I’m not familiar with other systems.

+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I’d rather my keyboard didn’t just siphon off whatever I type.

No no, real numbers would hurt the bottom line. AI relies on great expectations and overly trusting techbros.

We could be beyond it. What hasn’t happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it’s entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.

To look at this another way: the government of South Korea has decided to give people the feeling of a strike without actually letting it affect bottom lines in any meaningful way. That is, they have relegated the strike (a key utility of those fighting for workers’ rights) to being a tool used solely to assuage discontent in the short term. Without economic teeth, it cannot be used to enhance the lives of workers, which is ultimately the explicit goal of any strike.

South Korea is of course not alone in reducing or eliminating the rights of its citizens so that corporations continue to profit at their expense.

There are simply a lot fewer people on Lemmy. That’s to be expected.

I will say that the quality of conversation tends to be a bit higher on Lemmy. YMMV though.

I feel a lot less of the hive-mind effect on Lemmy versus Reddit. Not sure why that is.
