It's the wrong way to Fram the question. If I have a program that emits a painful audio bit every time the user does X and only 0.05% of users disable it by going to a configuration value they need to search for through dozens of (my o

Not in the least. A future where the baseline minimum isn't homelessness and suffering in the street simply has not been done before. Remove the need to struggle for a basic comfortable life, a new world has a chance to thrive. The pas

You're absolutely missing the point. This is _my_ fantasy world, not bound by the history of Star Trek; the show itself in later series got ruined by awful writers who couldn't figure out how to make a sci-fi utopia fun to watch a

I'm not sure why you're taking this as victim blaming. _Everyone_ needs to change, including the corporations and the very society we live in to make it a goal. If it wasn't implicit in my fantasy world, there is no more clas

Automation doesn't need to have The Matrix as the end result; it could be a Star Trek utopia. If automation was truly in the spirit of freeing people from having to struggle to survive, imagine a system build around an automated future

I actually don't see how signing everything solves the problem of AI generated essays unless you build a submission system that doesn't allow copy/pasting over a certain amount or that somehow assesses whether or not the 2000

I'm not sure it's the case with the type of scam that the article is talking about. Phishing credentials and getting people on the phone to buy gift cards and transfer money require a vastly different approach I suppose. https:&#

Unfortunately, I cannot read the article in full because of the paywall, but before I entered into the tech-sphere, I had a brief stint in vulnerable persons hospice. It was a nightmare fueled by the $15/hour wage in 2011 wages. While

For me it's not so certain; I think that most of the devs/engineers at Meta, Twitter, et. al., might get a bit of cold feet with the biggest tech companies and with Silicon Valley in general. I think smaller companies and upstarts

I believe I understand what your position is regarding the concept of art vs non-art. However, I think the main argument is less about the artistic merit of AI generated art and more about the impact on the ability for artists to be artists

Yes and no. When COVID more or less "left" corporate culture, a lot of US businesses wanted to go fully back to work or to make remote work a benefit, i.e., you'd take cuts elsewhere for the privilege to work remotely/fr

I think you're conflating SEO blogspam with genuine passion for writing. One claims to be the other in order to shield itself from accusations of being SEO blogspam, the other is just a person wanting to share their experience. I have

Just talk to them. In English. I've worked in a multi-language business for many years where I did not speak all the languages, and there are two points I think you need to take to heart 1. No one can guess what you're feeling&#x2

I don't think MS needs to push this if they want to succeed, they need to start making a consumer friendly machine that Windows runs fantastically on. For an "acceptable" laptop, the price point is already pretty close to $10

I disagree. The point at which the author actually "gets" programming and felt comfortable with the idea that given a task they could write something to solve it appears to be when the author determines their real start with progr

I realize you're being catty, but the stigma towards in-office work isn't towards people who enjoy it, it's towards the idea that everyone _must_ enjoy it. COVID proved that many businesses can survive a hybrid or even remote

Your point is understood, but at the same time, if it's not a recognized certification that is applicable to other jobs and positions, then it's a preference of the business, not a business need. The employer decided to make this

I understand your point, but I disagree with it. Just like there are different versions of "good" leaders and "good" workers in any given field, there are different types of "good" in sports. Similarly, sports

I'm not trying to prop up the Russian military here, but I feel that your statement of "if they could have they would have" doesn't follow to logical conclusions. Keep in mind, the common attribution of the supply chain
