From the paragraph you've shared here this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. How is the quality of work of these developers being assessed? Is there anyone senior overseeing their work – and if so, would they not be more suitab

I'm a bro-scientist on this subject, and often suggest others supplement with Vit D because, "it probably won’t hurt, and it might help". While I have generally suggested people take somewhere between 1,000 IU - 4,000 IU dail

If I'm understanding correctly, I think what you're saying there is some hypothetical AI regulation that can ensure AI is used for the benefit of humanity, but in practice that's unlikely to happen because humans are going to

I've worked for a couple of large corporations who were sued for accessibility issues. This was about 5-6 years ago though and I was told back then that there was a number of people who are deliberately scouring the internet for websit

The industrial revolution didn't really make any work obsolete though. It just augmented human labourers so that they were more productive freeing up people up to pursue other types of work. Humans still need to do agricultural labour,

I say it in every AI thread, but the only solution here is humanity declaring war on AI and the sooner people wake up to this the better. AI at it's limit is practical guaranteed to destroy advance human society by concentrating mass p

My GF works in schools here in the UK. According to her a lot of kids can't read analogue clocks any more because they all check the time on their phones. In her opinion it's probably partly related to Covid too because although t

Yeah, to be clear – I obviously want people to be compensated well for their work, but the path to that isn't as easy as passing a law. And I wish that wasn't the case, but it is, and ultimately this is the consequence of pretendi

If you think you're mad as a consumer, imagine all the Uber/Lyft drivers who no longer have any income because the government has made it uneconomical for their employer to do business in their city.

Even if true, the problem is those who don't but think they do. I suspect you might also have parents who kinda like the idea that there child's behaviour can be explained by ADHD. My sister's kid often gets in trouble at sch

My best friend as a kid was blind and being a kid his acceptance of this used to bug the hell out of me. I often found myself in conversations trying to convince him he doesn't want to be blind. But I remember asking him when we were t

In the near future, less text input and more "magic" AI buttons for OCR and speech to text would be my guess.

While there are likely generally preferable behaviours here, this problem is probably unsolvable given we can't agree on the definition of racism. For example, this article is suggesting that having a negative perception of someone tha

I think the main thing I got completely wrong was how tech would impact people's lives. I was so optimistic 10-15 years ago. I thought the internet was genuinely going to connect to the world. I thought the world would grow so small th

Not a game dev but I'd be interested to hear how far we are (in your opinion) from AAA titles using LLMs in their games? While in theory I can see how using LLMs to "build intelligent NPCs" could be interesting, I'm not

I love the rounded corners honestly. The screen feels more natural with it. The camera notch however bothers me daily. The most annoying bit about it is that the notch is so large that the mouse cursor can get lost in the dead zone behind i

In the UK pensioners make up about 18% of the population, this equates to approximately 12,000,000 individuals. Around a third of pensions have a net worth in excess of £1,000,000 – roughly 4,000,000 pensioners. Because state pensions in th
