Personally, i think there is a use case. I didnt check out meta ai but its fairly easy to generate good bedtime stories. And yes, parents, after 9hrs work, 3hrs commute, several more hours childcare dont have any imagination left.

Looking at the books out there, even the famous gruffelo writers, most of these books are dull story wise. The translations often lacking. The paintings are nice tho. I like the books most that have a funny singing part.

Stories is something AI excells at.

biggest technical advances are made when copyright is ignored, see those AI firms.

lets just say devs fear their jobs will not exist in future but b4 that happens every office job is made obsolete

lets just say, borrowing is favourable for the usa. If they decide to just not pay, noone is gonna get the money back. Of course, then you have no one willing to borrow you money, then you can still start printing.

Say the us owes 1 Trillion us dollars. They print so much money inflation made that 1 Trillion equal to the value of one Apple. Boom, you can pay all your state debt with 1 apple. For convienence you introduce Trump Dollars afterwards with exchange rate 1:1Trillion.

I think non banana republic consensus is, states shouldnt borrow money to cover running costs but to cover investments. investments provide a ROI you can pay the debt back with.

Old Oil mining rigs are known to be used for that. Other than that, as long your IP is sufficiently masked it doesnt matter if your servers are prominent or hidden in a bunker. Noone knows whats inside besides operators.

However, i think they broke TOR’s vpn ip masking by analysing traffic patterns on network nodes. So if they really wanna catch you, you are better somewhere they have no way of coming close. Think russia or other countries not too friendly with usa and not giving a flying fuck about copyright. The physical location of servers that is. The admin could sit comfy in the usa.

Also you could have the data encrypted on an AWS bucket but the server decrypting that should be more secure. Not sure how much traffic those sites have but that could ease the strain of on premise infrastructure you have to maintain.

At this point, unless you write prose, i’d certainly use AI to improve formulations. See it as proof readers.

Unionizing in my country is pointless. You have to join the union of your employers branch, i.e. sales or metal work. Sales however includes cashiers and other low skill jobs. That changes entirely how the union acts. Want to change employer? Have to change union too. Just all the hassle. Also low skill low pay jobs dont understand why SWEs should complain because you got homeoffice and better pay. Lets just say solidarisation is stopped by envy. I worked as cashier too and studied twice but workers council sides with employers because we didnt work our way up???

Tell me any other profession that expects sample project work during application. Keeping up with ever changing tech in your private time. Have solid / strong understanding of dozens special tech only XY company uses, do dev ops on weekends and night.

Meanwhile managers bullshit their way into jobs and waste our time with useless meetings earning notably more.

Also this is not about SWE only. Any office job will be changed by AI. Then people will flock to non AI jobs deflating their value and so on.

This is likely connected to the recent AI price hikes.

Probably an iPad

With GOG you’d even own your copy.

I could think of stronger password protection options. Maybe some kind of UI. Maybe a way to certify creators of the zip so they can filter out malicious zips in emails. I dont know what WinZip offers but company compliance is a goldmine.

imagine going to a store, buy an ice. Say to the cashier its below 5$ so you wont pay. Rinse and repeat.

Who has the time to play in the metaverse? To actually put up with VR or normal gaming even you need to have 1+ consecutive hours to spend. Grown ups dont have that kind of time. Wasnt meta one of the first companies to jump the RTO bandwagon? Even further diminishing the little time we have…

Man, i wish i could ignore that existential dread. Its thrilling me at night.

It’s not like meta is doing a literal holocaust. Given a good salary i’d work for them. For this guy his time at meta prolly enabled him to be more public with a rather anti corpo position. I can understand that move.

non tech savy ppl just go with the default.

I was going to answer how taxing income instead of assets is more effective because it emphasizes reinvesting and creating jobs. But billionaires shouldnt exist. Its just too much accumulated in one person.

change all your passwords you used with that device. then depends, can you afford a new phone? Go with a more known brand. If you can’t, start learning mandarin 😅

let AI write that bot
