Teams isn’t made for the users.

They aren’t going to make the movie they should.

I’m not surprised. It is the reason why companies like SpaceX don’t want to be dual use if they don’t have to.

I still feel that software development isn’t in freefall because of AI, but because large companies have hit the point where they aren’t going to put resources into development unless it will immediately produce revenue.

What large software company is doing the development typical of the industry a decade ago?

Maybe not. After all, who is attending?

Or they’ll just stick with what they got.

“Why do they call them cookies and not bakies?”

Any major company with a proprietary code base shouldn’t be running another company’s AI model to write code. Why let the AI company learn how to code with your code base?

I feel like a large part of it is that a lot of AI slop is still in the uncanny valley. The uncanny valley has been shown to create a massive negative emotional reaction in people. You don’t want to trigger that reaction while trying to sell people something.

It is what Patrick Stewart wanted, which goes to show that sometimes the actor isn’t always right.

And now there are a lot of laws to prevent it.

Yeah, but the scale of the current set of data centers has gotten to a point where they are becoming a problem for the communities they inhabit. If data centers stayed at the consumption levels they did decades ago, I don’t think we’d be seeing organized political action against them.

So, even though Fetterman was a huge disappointment who needs to be primaried out in the next election, Dr. Oz was the alternative.

Yeah, and they also seem believable as a rogue clandestine agency that the Federation is ok with having on “their side”.

Unlike the Obsidian Order or the Tal Shiar, the Federation has plausible deniability regarding the use of Section 31. Few powers seem to even know the agency exists.

And unlike the Obsidian Order or the Tal Shiar, Section 31 does a good job at being a clandestine agency. The Obsidian Order and Tal Shiar’s response to the Founders was to build a lot of ships to bomb a homeworld, something outside their expertise that gets them destroyed. Section 31, instead, genetically engineers a virus that attacks the Founders, a virus so effective that the cure is used as a bargaining chip in getting the Dominion to stop the war.

Given that cameras are readily available to the public, these glasses will likely only be banned in specific controlled locations.

Gatorade never had vitamins, even in its original formulation. It was flavored water with salt to help athletes with electrolyte depletion.

Also, Gatorade is owned by Pepsi. Maybe you’re thinking of Powerade, which was crap.

And Meta probably have Luxotica a large sack of cash to make these glasses.

In general, the Wikimedia Foundation needs some reform. This strike feels like the mod strike when Reddit removed API access.

The hiring is done mostly by professors, who are usually highly competent in their field.

But being competent in your field doesn’t make you a good manager or leader. The problem is that you have valuable technical experts with poor leadership abilities put into power. If there is an HR problem, the institution is usually incentivized to defend the expert and their atrocious behavior over junior staff.

And it doesn’t end up being a problem for academia if researchers leave the toxic workplace because spots are desirable and there isn’t an issue replacing those who leave.

JD did kill the last pope.
