Oh, yeah, that does make sense. I’m not sure why my brain went up the garden path on that one.

Smear? What milk products are you thinking of? What came to my mind was cheese (which you could call metan tofu, I suppose…), but I would usually expect cheese to be sprinkled, not smeared.

One of my go to sites has a jump to recipe button…works on my computer but fails on my phone 😔

Eh, I don’t think it’s an outright scam, rather “just” a bad investment / overhype. The language model programs do have some real uses, after all.

I fail to see how AI can replace any given entry-level SE
You don’t “get it”?
AI is making senior software engineers more productive so they don’t need to hire more devs
Yes, I think you do.
I largely look at this as leadership using AI hype as an excuse to cut staff regardless of actual productivity. The house of cards hasn’t come down quite yet.

It doesn’t have to be a good implementation, it only has to be good enough for a demo to get the C-suite saying “Oh, slap a chatbot on there and then fire half the department that handles this now”.
- Comment on The Evidence That AI Is Destroying Jobs For Young People Just Got Stronger 2 weeks ago:
AI isn’t destroying any jobs. Greedy “leaders” in the C-suite are cutting jobs using AI as an excuse.
It’s a sick joke at our expense.

Joke’s on you, I never used that word at all.

People at my office have a bot attend meetings. AFAIK it does speech recognition and generates notes from the meeting. Sembly maybe? I’d have to look again to be sure.

- Comment on Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface 4 weeks ago:
Seems logical. Glue, gluant, sticky.
I hadn’t expected a dictionary search to come up empty, though.

What is gluant? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 4 weeks ago:
We have them where I work. I’ve used the standing function, oh, maybe 2-3 times. Is that enough to count?

I was going to post to mention “contiguous”, but you beat me to it
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 1 month ago:
The technology isn’t there to accurately assess damage. It’s there to give Hertz an excuse to charge you extra money. It’s working exactly as the ghouls in the C-suite like.
- Comment on Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app 1 month ago:
It’s less about technology and more about evading accountability, I’d say. This would be a sort of cyberpunk version of “How dare you accuse the baron’s son of tipping your cows?! He’s a fine upstanding young man, so of course these accusations are groundless.”
- Comment on Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app 1 month ago:
It makes me super uneasy. I can easily see this type of model being expanded and applied to more and more things.
Call for a refund because something you ordered never showed up? Wrong trust chain, you’re automatically lying, refund denied.
Report someone for T-boning you? Wrong trust chain, you’re now arrested for hitting them.
Etc…

“proven science”
Vaccines are a good example here. Handwashing is another. We’ve had empirical proof on the latter since the 1850s, but it’s STILL super hit or miss whether people will bother :(

his gun
Is that a fact? Are you sure? Will you recant if it comes out that the police did, in fact, plant it?
Nitpick the lawyer’s phrasing all you like; it won’t actually change any of the facts of the case, whatever they may be. Myself, I’m not going to jump to “why bother having a trial? The police arrested him; he’s clearly guilty as sin” based on a Lemmy comment!

Almost like the lawyer thinks “they didn’t follow procedure” is an easier legal argument than “the police dept is trying to frame my client”.
