Comment on AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming
org@lemmy.org 1 day agoToo many people know their job is only going to last 6 months before the next round of layoffs, and that talent and hard work has never been the way to keep a job in the tech industry… so why try?

Not really a valid excuse in this case as we aren’t really experiencing layoffs here. Au contraire, our company is hiring. I’m not in the U.S.
Still think that letting language models controlled by billionaire paedophiles and wannabe dictators is a poor idea, regardless of how fed up one is with one’s job.

Where is “here?”
And, if you want to bring pedophiles into it, most of what you touch on a daily basis involved a billionaire pedophile at some point. You just sound lazy at this point.

Did you just call them lazy after making the argument that building talent and checks notes hard work is not worth doing in the modern tech landscape?

The argument is lazy to blanket everything in “pedophile” instead of actually talking about the issue.

Oh absolutely, and we can do our best to swear off of that but thanks to them worming their way in like a cancer in every part of society, shaping it to benefit them, that’s just the nature of taking part in society. The ones in power have always, and will always continue to exploit us for as long as we let them.
All the more reason to not outsource our thinking to their machines. Governments are already doing it, getting caught red-handed acting on reports that never existed. Why rely on that when the option not to is so readily available?

Ehhh… this sounds more like blanket ai-hate and less about you actually caring. You’re already in their cloud. I doubt you run bare metal. You probably use GitHub. Etc. caring on one hand and not on the other means nothing.
I’ll continue farming out bullshit tasks to AI while I play with my cat and prepare for the next round of layoffs, rather than giving my soul to a company who doesn’t actually care about me.
