What does socialism have to do with universal health care? For someone who is making a point of using correct terminology this seems really strange. Universal healthcare is a polic…

Using GenAI on things that you couldn't approach is also extremely scary and dangerous in my opinion. For example, I would never in a million years use generated code I don't under…

Apparently yes, judging from the fact that ChatGPT did that with a number of people. My question though it's another: is it malware a software that does a stdout print, or is it ma…

I think this is an interesting (although philosophical debate). The library doesn't take destructive actions, it prints a string that says "go do something". This is quite common i…

Anyone physically near your house can just see you leaving the house and know you are not at home, besides all the other signs. There is no control against this, and it shouldn't b…

Yes, correct. Is the distinction between human labor/actions and a program executing hard to grasp? Moral is a human thing, not an absolute thing, so of course it's different if th…

So no external libraries for anything? Billions of lines of code that duplicate the same thing n-times across an organization? And the benefit is the obscurity of "no one will know…

It's not though. It's still just a piece of code, much closer to IDEs or any other program than to a human assistant in any way that matters (morals, responsibility).

Aerospace makes my Mac usable, but it is a looooong way from what i3 offers in my experience. i3 is way snappier, super stable, with good features out-of-the-box (including a statu…

This seems completely detached from reality. For example it ignores the gazillion medium(-like) "articles" that are not much more than the output of a prompt. Here AI is not about …

Democratizing? A handful of companies harvesting data and building products on top of it is democratizing? Open research papers, that everyone can access is democratizing knowledge…

I am on e/OS since 2021 with a FP3 and, for what is worth, I never had to reinstall, wipe or anything. My phone just had it's 5th birthday and it has been a single continuous set o…

My wife works for a competitor of the company mentioned. They are in EU. Still run everything on AWS. The data collected is usually even more than what stated, full video recording…

77.500 channels which make any money. Now plenty of those make a handful of dollars per month. Also, 77k worldwide. I am not going to deny that YouTube (and all social media) creat…

There are no such detailed numbers as far as I know. No platform (twitch, YouTube etc.) generally provides this information. Thinking bad one could assume it's because most people …

The journalism one is really a great example I did not think about. I understand there is an argument to be made about what is the "value" of things, but for me it's quite clear th…

https://alanspicer.com/what-percentage-of-youtubers-make-mon... Claims 0.25% of channels makes any money at all. The amount that make a decent living is realistically even smaller,…

And if it's so cheap and bespoke, why buying it and not making it in house? What about access to people with know-how of that product? You use a product that only 4 other companies…

YouTube is a platform, it's not a product. And in this case, created a new market. A market in which, by the way, still very few people (relative to those who try) are successful. …

And those companies will do what? Produce products in uber-saturated markets? Or magically 9900 more products or markets will be created, all of them successful?

Plus, a core part of what qualifies as a bullshit job is that the person doing it feels that it's a bullshit job. The book is a half-serious anthropological essay, not an economic …

This assumes every decision-maker is a rational actor. Just today an executive was rambling about "quantum-empowered AI". These are the people who take decisions about firing worke…

"In aggregate" means few individuals on the planet, unfortunately, not the whole collectivity. This makes your statement almost almost surreal in my eyes.

I get the same issue on Mac, if it's any comfort. I had to close and reopen the app 7-8 times to have my microphone recognized, despite it worked reliably on every single tool I ev…

Despite me not being particularly interested in the AI hype and not seeking out discussions etc., I can tell you have seen many instances of people (comments, headlines, articles e…
