• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn lays off 281 workers in California, including many Bay Area engineers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m always surprised how many employees these companies have. 18.400?

  Working in a large software company myself I shouldn’t be surprised, the level of inefficiency is amazing. I’ve seen less inertia in government agencies. Dilbert comics were supposed to be an exaggeration, they’re not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you actually audit open source projects you download?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Packaged products ready to use? No.
  Libraries which I use in my own projects? I at least have a quick look at the implementation, often a more detailed analysis if issues pop up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's been a massacre!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume it would be a delicacy served for special occasions. Or a desert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This graph but with fediverse apps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL 9gag still exists.

  It used to be fun around 2015, i haven’t visited it years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gravity sucks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends, does he influence people only when they are very, very close to him?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Klarna Hiring Back Human Help After Going All-In on AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure there will be a difference either way. Customer service jobs spent decades trying to train humans to act as much as robots as possible. Of course replacing them with a shitty bot seemed to make sense, they were already pretending to be shitty bots.
  Any “quality” in customer support comes from individuals circumventing company rules to provide actual support to the customer. AI can’t do that.

  Giving birth to yourself - the ultimate self hosting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice try AI 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cardinals most likely to be the pope⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the a rule that a pope can’t be bird? I know he has to be a baptized catholic male and accept of their own free will (added after a tiny incident), but did they ever specify human?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s really good at the thing LLMs are good at. Don’t judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree etc…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human-AI relationships pose ethical issues, psychologists say.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m lowkey impressed (in a negative way) if someone can establish an emotional relationship with an AI.

  It’s hard enough to do it with an actual human where the other person does half of the work. AI only follows the instructions that you give it. Imagine having to do both sides of a relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Zuck is so pathetic
  “Plese let me into the cool kids clube, pleeaaaseee”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. Boredom is the key to learning. Of course the manner of learning in most schools is not ideal, kids find it boring for a reason, but without distraction they might latch onto some bits of information just to survive the class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopify CEO tells teams to consider using AI before growing headcount⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most bigger tech companies are bureaucratic nightmares already, where nothing productive can get achieved no matter how many people you throw at it. AI will only make them more efficient at bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Technofascists and Religious Fanatics Have in Common: End Days Theology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just for comedic value I’d like for God to actually exist. I imagine He wouldn’t appreciate their attempts at manipulation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine the irony if Must actually has a self-aware AI which hates him and sabotages him at every step

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But how? The thing is utterly dumb. How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it’s obviously robotic answers?

  But then there’s people who have romantic and sexual relationships with inanimate objects, so I guess nothing new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Trump H-1B crackdown could hit Big Tech hard, with Amazon suffering most.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, no great loss

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A tool to compare laptop prices and specs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨star bae⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So technically there could be an object that is mostly a black hole, except on the equator

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨!antisexism@lemmy.today - a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against all sorts of gender-based discrimination⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for creating this community. I’ve long thought that the patriarchy and gendered norms harm everyone.
  And that the hostile approach of some “feminist” and “men’s rights” movements are only adding fuel to the fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell kills the XPS brand⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every company’s lineup these days:

  Pro > Pro Max > Pro Max Ultra > Pro Max Ultra Black Edition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell kills the XPS brand⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Better headline: Dell kills all brands

  Given that Dell has lost most of it’s old reputation in the last couple of years, not surprising that radical moves were taken. Trying to navigate Dells product range was a quick way to get a headache.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China to subsidise smartphone purchases in bid to lift spending⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, the myth of infinite growth again. I guess the majority of Chinese people have a smartphone by now, why would they constantly buy new ones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New data shows the number of new mobile internet users is stalling⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At some point the growth can only follow fertility rates from 10-15 years before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically none. Both are mainstream instances, not practicing any extreme moderation policy.

  You might have confused lemmy.world with lemmy.ml which does have some communities with bad reputation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a huge difference between a tankie and a socialist:

  • Socialist supports economic policy aimed at just distribution of resources
  • Tankie supports fascist-like authoritarianism under a mask of socialism
