@bodil@social.treehouse.systems I've just caught up with this, wow some of the comments people are making are wild. How dare they have a stance on what their service gets used for...

@DiaaMahmoud097@ieji.de @gknauss@mastodon.social every single billionaire chooses not to help as much as they could. Every single billionaire heading a company could have paid their staff more. Every single billionaire could have fed more of the hungry. Every single billionaire has accumulated obscene wealth through the labour of others. No billionaire has ever contributed a billion of value to the world.

@GNUmatic @isaackuo @mastodonmigration @metin unfortunately true that some people seem to be able to cheat through their entire lives. Serial business failures but they can always get some capital for another one. Or a run for President.

@GNUmatic @isaackuo @mastodonmigration @metin I keep thinking some of them must realise that it's not about the grades if the grades don't indicate that you actually have some kind of ability. But maybe they think they can always use AI to do it for them. Which at least at present, they can't.

@ApostateEnglishman@mastodon.world when I went to block them myself because there's enough of that nonsense around I found their profile says "probably blocked for wrong opinion". I guess they're no stranger to this response. If only they'd learn something from it...

@GeofCox @ketan it should be beyond the wit of governments to allow anything else!

@bodil@social.treehouse.systems but what if they accidentally prove that CEOs are replaceable with AI??

@brunty LinkedIn does have a short term vested interest in making it as easy as possible to spam us.

@zbrown @bodil a more honest kind of evil...

@ivor @tobyjaffey Hollywood have had better de-ageing tech for years. That's such a shoddy job!

@brunty I had been thinking of getting one myself. Thanks for the warning I guess. Can people try not being awful? It's not actually very difficult.

@jguillaumes @aachrisg @javerous @drikanis @ludicity the downside being that these days our stuff doesn't even have that kind of documentation. It's not in a different form, it's not all online somewhere, it just doesn't exist.

@MaryAnne@mastodonapp.uk three very interesting soups! I did a double take reading the third one when it said to add "pease-soup"! But I do love the audacity of a soup recipe which requires you to have another soup on hand 😁

@MaryAnne@mastodonapp.uk I'm a software engineer. I know!

@Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place Claims circulated the other day that a global AI off switch is being added to Firefox that will cover all current and future AI features. Hopefully this is actually true. Not that this fixes everything but it does help. And even I have to admit that AI hype bubble is extremely large...

@retrohistories@digipres.club we can carry a lot more of them around with us now! Hurrah for the era of... Oh yes. Choice paralysis.

@wesdym@mastodon.social @TimWardCam@c.im they always hope that this time, maybe this time, the cheap and dirty option will actually work

@pcalcado are people not aware that we already had tools to do that??

@TimWardCam@c.im @64kb@icosahedron.website @jackscottau@aus.social oh so satisfying!!

@ctrlaltrees I tried to install Bazzite a few weeks ago. The installer crashed. Sigh. I want to ditch Windows for my regular stuff, Proton or native ports should handle it all, but I'm going to have to construct a bit more of it by hand than I wanted to.

@DiaaMahmoud097@ieji.de @gknauss@mastodon.social yes that is the issue. I don't comprehend how anybody can look at a company with a billionaire at the helm and say yes the products of their labour have been fairly shared among the workforce.

@jernej__s@infosec.exchange @cloudhop@equestria.social I'd be really interested in knowing how the bugs relate to areas with LLM-generated code in.

@gunstick@mastodon.opencloud.lu @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt you'd think this incredibly obvious point would be more widely understood by now. But no, we have to keep doing it.

@tristansnell@mstdn.social let's do it at the ballot box and not with guns and bombs this time.
