I love how drivers only care about orwellian overreach when it infringes in their right to text and drive and kill people…

The vanilla copilot bundled in windows is completely useless and not suitable for enterprise use …

Any company serious about productivity gain would use something else …

I am by no means a pro-AI techbro, but my company invested into making a bespoke AI solution (yes it connects to one of the big boys on the backend) and it makes a world of difference.

I think a lot of the AI hate comes from people who have never used a paid model coupled with a good frontend…

Yeah, i’m not an idiot… i’ve already considered all those points about the downsides of using AI at work … like you said… play the game

if you really want to work on taking down Capitalism, organize your labor

How do you know i"m not using my free time at work to do exactly that?

you made a lot of assumptions about people who use AI at work …

Seriously though, what “skills” are you building by learning how to use LLMs at your corporate job?

i’m not learning any skills… i’m offloading some work on to AI so that i can do other stuff on company time…

Isn’t that what we should all aspire to? To destroy capitalism from the inside?

I agree…

But check out the other discussions on lemmy about AI …

if you’re not 100% against it, you’re a facist

I agree with you…

But be prepared to be labelled a facist on lemmy

apparently there’s no such thing as a neutral technology or tool

I think its pretty clear that an OG hacker like linus using AI as a helpful assistant is very different from a junior dev using it as a crutch

The question now is how to develop proper software engineers who have the old school skills first and foremmost, and then are able to use the assistance of an AI

Using AI is not the same as vibe coding.

i’ve been in dozens of lemmy threads that disagree…

There’s a huge portion of lemmy who think even one token of AI is unacceptable for any reason

I’m in a thread where the entire idea of AI/LLMs has been declared facist, with ZERO legitimate use cases other than facism

20 yrs ago…

Driving through upstate new york with my family. Passed through a small town looking for some food and/or gas.

One house had nazi banners hanging openly on the front of the house. Not flags, they were like those big vertical banners behind hitler during speeches.

Nope. We can hold our pee and get gas later… drive a little faster and get out.

As a canadian, i was shocked… i thought stuff like that only existed in the deep south… we were 3hrs from the canadian border or something.

In hindsight, it explains a lot about the current state of affairs in the US

If we havent reached that point, we’re sure headed there…

Brought to you by carl’s jr.

but you’re comparing disney to a local cafe…

these guys aren’t just willy-nilly increasing the price of coffee for funsies. a lot of these issues have to do with supply chain, commercial rents, and billionaire created issues… the real solution isn’t just to stay home and let your local cafe go bankrupt… need to solve the big picture issues that are causing inflation without the wage increases that we all need.

the point of speed bumps isn’t to slow to a crawl just before you hit them and then carry on speeding (which is what everyone does…)

if you’re actually going the speed limit, it shouldn’t damage anything…

maybe the prosecutors decided that meta has more money and better lawyers than the actual fucking state AGs… maybe this was the best deal they could possibly get…

maybe the issue isn’t the legal system, it’s the fact that these companies have become more powerful than the country itself…

and i wasn’t calling your post out specifically… i see this all over the internet… people complain about the price of going out and the advice is always “just stay home and make food/coffee!”

i don’t want to just survive on the cheapest possible budget and never enjoy anything… that’s just a race to the bottom and ends with us sitting in little pods living out whatever dystopian nightmare they predicted decades ago…

The point is that we should be able to maintain a certain standard of living…

Whats the point of constantly telling people to eat at home and not enjoy anything that costs money?

Why even eat food when we can just eat soylent? Why even eat when we can just live in a pod of goop and be connected to the matrix? Much cheaper to live like that!

Was always intimidated by indian curries. Aloo gobhi, palak paneer, mattar paneer, etc.

They’re relatively easy to make compared to my assumptions. Like anything else, diffcult to do well… but i can make something passable

I really like the taste of cough medicine and pretty much any digestif/amaro/bitters you put in front of me.

Same as you

i also like the artificial banana taste of that gross antibiotic they give kids (in north america, at least)

How does this compare to merlin? I dont currently have any reason to distrust the cornell university department of ornithology… but if they ever turn evil its good to know there’s a backup

Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist
