I’ve been in such a work context for the better part of two years, as a contractor, and by God it is soul crushing to give your best to do a good job, and to see it ultimately ends up in the bin. I quit weeks ago, and they are already beggi

It is simply because you have spent all your life being told what to do with your working hours, that you cannot self-direct and find a productive use for your time other than lazying around. The fact that you call it ‘funemployment’ is pro

Sci-fi writers have a great track record of predicting the future. Scientists and engineers have an abysmal track record of predicting the future. You know to be concerned when a claim is dismissed with ‘that’s just science fiction, it will

The world will not be satisfied until we have read, and discussed every half-famous person’s opinion on AI. Still about ten million discussions to go.

Are you seriously asking if employing people, for the same cost, is a better ‘investment’ than relying on LLMs? Jesus Christ.

My pet peeve is that every flat earther there are 1000 people complaining about them and keeping the meme alive at every chance possible. At those rates you might as well be complaining about people who believe they are Jesus Christ reincar

I don’t get your comment. They can make a distro secure enough for government use. It’s not like it’s alien technology only the US have, that you need to buy Apple or Microsoft. It would certainly be the highest ROI to have a local, open sy
