It’s also a joke how poorly most companies are adopting AI. For many companies there have been meaningful improvements in software over the last few years that have been ignored completely and suddenly these same companies want to step over a bunch of stairs at once (insert meme) and do AI-buzzword-everything.

It doesn’t work like that

It’s amazing how blantly they allow scam ads. I reported ads for stolen credit cards and counterfeit money and meta closed my reports stating there was nothing wrong with the ads. What is this? The dark web?

That sucks. For us it’s been working great for a few years already but we’re also all based in the same city, usually share a lot with each other, often meet (and log into the same wifi) and possibly most importantly, we’re based in the EU where tech companies are usually less anti-consumer as they’re more worried about fines.

Currently I‘m sharing a premium family subscription with as many users as Google allows which is like 6€ for each user.

If Google ever cracks down on sharing or this gets much more expensive (because even 6€ is too much IMO) we’re probably just gonna cancel the subscription altogether.

Also worth comparing to graphics cards here. After the crypto mining boom, prices didn’t drop significantly. Expensive cards were just the new baseline because gamers need graphics cards and do not have many alternatives to look elsewhere.

I see similar comments every now and then. What exactly is missing here for you? There’s a community for almost anything except some niche topics

Thank you. This also removed the incredibly obnoxious AI chat on the side that my ad blocker didn’t catch.

Renting out capacity sounds like a good opportunity for the LLM money circlejerk to make another round

As a freelance dev it’s not quite as bad now but it’s insane to see that some of my clients think I got replaced by a machine now only to show me a buggy vibe coded mess of an app that is poorly designed and works half the time at best. I like some of the LLM tools but it’s important to understand their abilities and limitations especially in regards to future capabilities as there are hard limits to how capable they can become.

Way too many people think the tools are smart because they can „talk“ and these same people do not understand any of the underlying tech.

Some of my clients send ChatGPT written instructions now that are missing half the context of what I‘m actually doing.

„Many of you will be laid off but that’s a sacrifice I‘m willing to make“

Yeah also noticing similar bullshit. People send me exact steps on what to do written by ChatGPT that understands exactly nothing about the context and is therefore often wrong or a half truth at best.

Another client has pushed a single commit to a messy project that added 70k lines and a load of new features. The project is now unmaintainable.

At least when the AI fucks up it’ll admit it when you confront it.

Well not really, it‘ll admit whatever you nudge it towards. I‘ve had so many „you‘re absolutely right“ moments from the AI when the error was on my side.

Seriously, enshitification is the only thing US companies do well these days. They just dig deeper moats around their walled gardens because they’re too greedy to make decent products that people actually want.

Can’t happen soon enough. Few people want AI and now it will fuck over a bunch of people very directly. No idea how long the investors can keep inflating this bubble now.

Definitely not great behavior but considering Safari makes up a bunch of their users, they should have really added the playsinline attribute to the video to prevent this. But since this site is made using a pretty crappy site builder, they probably cannot change this until Elementor fixes this bug.

Wtf it just opened a video in full screen on iOS right away. When I closed it and wanted to scroll down I was suddenly dragging an icon. When tapping this icon it opens some „my personas“ dialog which I don’t even understand what it is supposed to be? What even is this shit ass site?

Edit: page title is „Home V2“ lol

Edit 2: Of course this site is made using Elementor, hence the bad performance and buggy layout.

Right? The epic store is so slow and sluggish and awful. How fucking hard can it be today to make a good app for a single OS.

Seriously, name a billionaire who seems like he doesn’t have a potentially undiagnosed mental illness. It’s hard to think of one.

On Geforce Now as well? Does it not just kick you off if you’ve been inactive for a while? That would at least make sense.

You forgot about the amazing public transport. Fast long distance trains, tiny local trains, towns with random monorails. It’s amazing.
