4 hours agoWe’re the unwashed masses. Changing our social security numbers would mean considering us people worth more than a means of exploitation, and the ruling class couldn’t possibly burden themselves with the mere thought.

2·6 hours agoThank you! I didn’t know that was a thing, but since I’m in the market to begin building a NAS, that will surely be useful to know terminology
I’m not the person you asked, but I would be totally fine with that. Being forced to click a
Nextbutton is a small price to pay to stop social media platforms that thrive on a continuous stream of ragebait and bad news (or other content feeds crafted to grab your attention).The platforms that will be hurt the most won’t be the ones on the Fediverse.
It’s a “concrete example” that’s almost certainly fantasy. I bet everyone stood up and clapped when the engineer got to the office, too.
There was a time back in maybe… 2009(?) when the UI was great. It made sense, you could do everything you could possibly want very easily. Then they broke everything I think around 2012 and completely revamped the UI, and it’s never been good ever since.
Glad I left it years ago.
“As a concrete example, an engineer at Spotify on their morning commute from Slack on their cell phone can tell Claude to fix a bug or add a new feature to the iOS app,” Söderström said.
Cool, so your goal is to replace your senior engineers with AI slop, but it’s still generating bugs? Doesn’t sound like much of an improvement.
“And once Claude finishes that work, the engineer then gets a new version of the app, pushed to them on Slack on their phone, so that he can then merge it to production, all before they even arrive at the office.”
Translation: Want to work as hard as a sole proprietor but not get paid like one? Great! You can work from your car while dealing with bullshit commuter traffic. Also, if you get into an accident, you can’t claim worker’s compensation or SDL, because you’re not technically on the job, yet! Thanks for being a team player!

At which point, the only option left is to leave or enjoy rapid enshittification.
Don’t even have to go that far. Just stop paying for Nitro. They’ll get the picture when their revenue stream dries up.

The thing that frustrates me about these studies is that they all continue to come to the same conclusions. AI has already been studied in mental health settings, and it’s always performed horribly (except for very specific uses with professional oversight and intervention).
I agree that the studies are necessary to inform policy, but at what point are lawmakers going to actually lay down the law and say, “AI clearly doesn’t belong here until you can prove otherwise”? It feels like they’re hemming and hawwing in the vain hope that it will live up to the hype.
The US is busy violating people’s rights and executing civil dissidents. They’ll get to it when they grow bored of terrorizing everyone.
I usually just roll my eyes when I see that corpospeak, but now I’m going to translate it as “payday.” Thanks!
Not a clue. Care to eli5?
Yes, I know. I’m not looking back at the entire timeline of history. I’m looking at the most recent example, because while the idea is not new, it is not an idea that lasts on its own; people wise up over time, which is why the idea gets rehashed by different figures at different points in history.
It does predate them. They didn’t invent it, and I never said they did. I said their actions are the reason the US reveres wealth today, as in it’s the most contemporary set of events that have reinvigorated that well-practiced strategy.
If you’re looking for specific historical knowledge, as in citations, here you go:
Great, congrats. You are today’s biggest pedant. Here’s your prize.
Sure, but why it exists today in the US is a direct result of the robber barons’ influence in the early 1900s. The core idea isn’t new, but this instance is.
It’s in my plan to switch, actually. The only reason I haven’t is because I need to make sure I know how to use certain Pipewire inputs with the window manager. I’ve seen that it does work, but I need to know how to do it myself before I make the switch.
And thank you for that, too. I had no idea there would be so much to consider, but I’m glad to be informed.
