I remember when Facebook used to just show your friends posts in reverse chronological order. You could react to stuff in real time and it felt great. People would do stuff like watch sporting events and TV shows live and then react with all your friends online.
Then it changed to just pure alogrithm garbage filled with ads.
That’s how I talk to my cat.
“Meow!”
“Really?”
“MEEEOOOWW!”
"Oh my goodness, never in your whole life?"
“MEEEEEEEEOOOOWWW!!”
“Ok then let’s get you fed, you poor thing.”
Our bonuses are tied to Copilot adoption rates. But it’s not able to do anything useful for my actual work, so I have to use it for shit like “Copilot, take this emoji and make it holding a cartoon knife.”
Real glad my children won’t have any water for this.
Beat meat, oh it.
I hate that we’ve had to change this calculation from a billionaire to a trillionaire. Both are fucking disgusting numbers.
Also, I swear to God if anyone mentions compound interest I’m gonna strap you to one of Elon’s exploding rockets.
Yeah it’s a Democratic governor. Ain’t no way they’ve enough spine to appoint someone and let the courts sort it out.
Dude went a few SECONDS over his time and they arrested him. Even when he said he was done speaking.
This is actually very common across businesses. My company actually has our bonuses tied to AI adoption, so we have dashboards showing people’s AI usage. Other major companies have done the same, which lead to the practice of “token maxxing” where people were using AI to make more AI calls to boost their numbers up.

Sometimes Lemmy posts line up in perfect coincidences and it freaks me out a little.
The problem with AI is that they cannot increase the prices enough to be profitable.
I saw something about the SpaceX IPO that said for it to be justified at that price, everyone on earth with some sort of money (they defined it as earning at least $14,000/year) had to become an xAI consumer and spend $28,000/year. Seems reasonable /s
I was talking to one of our cloud architects at work yesterday. They did a test and just ran in “asdf” to a chat prompt, and were able to trace the costs. It was 12 cents.
I could totally see AI costs getting out of control very quickly. Doing something like a Copilot formula in an Excel spreadsheet is easily going to run up hundreds of dollars of costs eventually.
While working on some client code, my coworker and I came across a case statement that said something like
if myBoolean == TRUE
then blah
else if myBoolean == FALSE
then blah blah
else if myBoolean is null
then blah blah blah
Ever since we’ve always laughed at the “trinary bit”.
There seems to be a pretty strong correlation though
Yeah, that doesn’t sound like Roku’s fault.
Huh, it works on my machine…
TLDW; billionaire Michael Bloomberg is behind multiple laws in mostly blue states to require spyware be added to all 3D printers under the banner of “gun control”.
He’s attempted to hide this as a grassroots effort, when in reality it’s nearly completely funded by him and his organizations. There’s a call to action to contact your representatives if that legislation is being proposed in your state and voice your opposition to letting billionaires control what you can and cannot 3d print.

This is why conservatives are anti-sex ed and anti-abortion.
