Mid 30’s IT/Medical Device support and quality guy. I like cycling, video games, and singing.

Or, more likely, LLMs and the AI phase will be a nothing burger for generations since our programming languages and technology cannot currently even model AGI. We made a mechanical Turk and got impressed with ourselves. Except that Turk will burn our planet to cinders to tell us 2+2=5 because of a Reddit shitpost.
Even my jackass friends with a light head start due to their parental fiances say this. No self-awareness.

Was this a Hershey plant? The specific process they use creates the same acid as in the stomach which makes people who didn’t grow up with the stuff gag.
I’ve been told by Euros their chocolate uses a different process.


The fact that my 4chan shitposts from 2012 are now causing havoc inside of an AI is not something I would have guessed happening but, holy shit, that is incredible.
This comment and no mentions the king sex pest of the USSR, Lavrentiy Beria?
Fixed.


This is patently false. I run GrapheneOS with no Google play services installed. The only issue I have is no paid app updates and some apps won’t send notifications since they ran through Google. I use my phone though mostly as a phone. I have almost no social media and I do not use banking apps on my phone. I choose to use website versions of anything on my phone so long as I can.
Not to mention, the replacement OSes like /e/os and the others don’t have the hardening of GrapheneOS. Cellibrite recently was leaked they still can’t crack open GrapheneOS.


Maybe stop villanizing the disadvantaged folks in our society, and put that anger towards the people who have stolen so much from the majority that they put the disadvantaged in the position they are in.
I didn’t see the main post doing that in the slightest. The poster is asking what the impact will be.
Also, industry needs zero reason to hold prices or raise them. We are completely divorced from standard economics at this point. Edit: spelling


Makes it like Star Trek with “Beam me up, Scotty.”


Have a child and work in a factory. That did it for me. I used to be a 2pm to 4am kinda person.


Just based in the ballpark numbers from another on of these articles I saw today, it works out to like 40 some bucks a person. Just absolute garbage.
Is this my phone? Lol
This was my experience. While I had nothing but time to learn Windows over the years, my time now is more limited. My Creative Sound Blaster sound card worked… Somewhat under Pop_OS!, but kept having issues. It got to the point that I opted for an external DAC and my issues cleared up.
While I want everything to “just work”, I knew my time is more valuable to me than figuring out why this particular hardware didn’t want to work, so I swapped it.
I remember the win9x days of looking shit up and figuring it out. Most people nowadays don’t have that skill or never had it and onboarded with computers that “just worked”. Side note in my opinion but, that’s the insidious nature of Big Tech. They make it so easy to use, you don’t care that they pick your pocket for every ounce of data. Linux, by its nature, is generally ok at most things but you are going to run into walls like the accelerometer mentioned above. Expectations need to be set and if you aren’t willing to know how to run your computer, it’s going to run you. I view this as no different than understanding the fundamentals of cars so you don’t get fleeced at the mechanic. But that’s just me. I want a certain level of competence in what I utilize on a daily basis.
I want people to switch. For people like me who have been power users for 20+ years, it’s as close to an easy hand off as is ever going to exist. Trying to convince my Normie friends? I’m still fighting that battle and all they do is Facebook, youtube and WoW.
I agree that setting expectations and having to adjust to the new norm should be part of the onboarding speech. “It just works” shouldn’t be uttered to anyone short of grandma for email and youtube on a computer you install the software on.

Rimworld is leaking again.


Bring back the western reserve!
I would have went with a JoJos meme but to each their own.


Hey, great stuff! I just subscribed on AntennaPod. I’m going to give it a listen on my way to work tomorrow.


Here’s hoping. crosses fingers


I played both so maybe I’m confusing the rulesets but I thought it was Civ V. Totally possible I am wrong though.
Not really. We just have to wait long enough for either enough disasters to occur that the crowd successfully rejects it; or the current crop of workers will be so unable to accomplish simple tasks without it, the rest of us will just move up the ladder past you. They’ll ask ChatGPT, “how to spreadsheet.”, because they just can’t remember since use of LLMs has been creating cognitive decline in users. Those of us who use our brains, rather than the stolen knowledge and hallucinated regurgitation of a blind database, will be the drivers in the work force.
