I don’t get it.

I’m guessing those seasoning crumbs are a pretty standard mixture, one that is easily googled, and can be bought for pennies compared to that bag. Some olive oil, that seasoning, and a bug bowl and you could have weeks of it ready to go

I’ve lived long enough where I definitely see this as the reason.

It starts with one person saying “hey wait, if we do this thing we waste a little less!”. Good intentions and idea. It grows and catches on. Companies see that and see the triple hitter: they can

• reduce overhead costs by not doing the wasteful thing
• go on a PR blitz making it look like they’re doing amazing things, people clapping all the way
• continue charging the same amount.

Happens all the time. Tipping is the best example. You feel bad for the driver or server so you tip a little more. Companies see this and make it easier for you to tip, saying they really value their workers and want to let you tell them. Meanwhile they do nothing for actual pay, screwing you and the employees at the same time.

Uh uh uh. Deep Heat. Uhhh Dinosaur latent anger. Uhhh steam… Something liberal tears to steam

Problem is that they’ve completely bent over to shareholders and shareholders are both A) non tech people and B) believe AI will print money for them.

A company with a backbone would say “No you know what, this is insane and it’s clear customers aren’t biting. We will win long run if we make quality products people want”. Instead they bend over to shareholders and, from my understanding they say something like “deeper plz”

Okay that changes things. If they turned off these guardrails than that was on them, never blindly trust an LLM like that

Oh my god really? Cursor explicitly asks you each command and could only do this in “yolo” mode. Not having these guardrails is insane

Can’t I hate both of them?

I’ve seen way way way too many marketers try to fluff up https as “encrypted”. They clearly heard a keyword and they go off the walls like they’re the most secure company that ever existed. Usually just a single follow up question like “is it encrypted at rest” or “is my data encrypted with a different key than other users”, or even “does your company have the ability to decrypt it” falls flat on them.

Yeah that’s where it turned from story to joke for me

Thought is good, but if life has taught me anything it’s that it’s only a matter of time until someone new takes over and uses it for their nefarious purposes. Forcing it is never a good option, it should be opt in

Damn this is insane. Using claude/cursor for work is near, but they have a mode literally called “yolo mode” which is this. Agents allowed to run whatever code they like, which is insane. I allow it to do basic things, you can search the repo and read code files, but goddamn allowing it to do whatever it wants? Hard no

As an aside, I have that coffee maker and love it! See if there’s a local coffee shop, here in my city it was stocked and they even let me try a cup from there

Oh as an aside, the coffee comes out SUPER weak at the beginning, where I thought it was broken. Give it 20-30 shots/cups and it’ll start tasting more normal. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and love it

Honestly they all suck

I’ll send it back to you then, do you have any non-LTT sources that show that it was fake allegations?

Honestly think finally found common ground, and I appreciate the thought out response here. This is the sort of discussion and comment I want to see more of here on Lemmy, thought out good discussion instead of “He’s literally hitler”. That’s really the point I was trying to make, I don’t care about Bill Gates, what I am tired of is everyone demonizing everyone else in the comments and us devolving into reddit comment sections. We’ve been better than Reddit in our comments until recently.

And ad hominem attacks are empty and hollow to me.

The fact that you don’t get the nuance that I’m trying to show and going right to comparing to literally Hitler is exactly my point. That’s not discussion, it’s quite literally the Moral Equivalence fallacy. There have been a few good comments here that made me stop and think, actual discussion, weighing pros and cons. Jumping right to Hitler was not one of them.

Again, no nuance and going right to black and white

Gamers Nexus did a full hour long deep dive into him, very illuminating
