these are called bribes

wait, what do you mean "integrating it into workflows". this juicero of outsourcing won't work as advertised and it's probably cheaper and less prone to fucking up to hire a couple of southeastern asians or eastern europeans. as long as business is selling of these juiceros, they'll be fine as long as they can find suckers. these suckers, tho, might be in trouble even before openai goes under for unrelated reasons

oh but that's not my problem, and those who got in that very stupid position deserve every last bit of it

as long as you can mark it up and as long as the charade lasts, and as long as there's someone willing to pay, this will make money. when spicy autocomplete provider collapses just pack your bags and leave

blockchain targeted libertarian post-goldbug pro-cyberpunk-dystopia fuckheads, llms target management types (you will replace workers with machines!), maybe that's why

this might be fallout from tariffs, some went in on saturday iirc

perun weighs in on tariffs and guesses what might come next https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVZ1lcw2bVU

some things perun notes that i hadn't because i haven't followed the entire situation closely: that trade deficit calculation uses goods only, not services, and this is most of what sv exports; eu might retaliate against sv oligarchs specifically. also we're in times where it's necessary to pull up american govt pages from internet archive to make a point. fun. also chatbot-cooked policy looks suspiciously like chatbot solution to a entry level econ course toy problem with loads of very unusual assumptions, which are discussed too.

maybe stable genius tries to bring american wages closer to global average

it must be comforting to think that there's some bigger plan, and they can't possibly be this stupid and incompetent

(by now i do think that they're this stupid and incompetent, and if it appears that there's no plan going forward it is because there was never one. they're malicious, see Zelensky visit, and can plan perhaps a week in advance, but nowhere near sophisticated enough to come up with this)

none of these are complete without posadism

So far I've only read Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality, but can say it is an excellent place to start.

beware the man of one book

Who does this appeal to? It's nonsense.

the fake nerds of silicon valley of course

 

some communities are stuck in past, some 1d, some 1 month+. maybe it's because of old lemmy version (0.19.3 was released 22.01.2024). release notes for 0.19.4-0.19.10 don't suggest that these are breaking updates. 0.19.4 and 0.19.6 are big ones. 0.19.4 requires postgresql 16 and pictrs 0.5+ and it passed security audit. 0.19.6 recalculates something meaning that update takes longer. most of instances still on this version are down or badly broken, and these few that still are up seem to have the same problem

i guess it promotes touching grass, if that's your intention, fine,
