In Germany it unfortunately failed abysmal. Most digital ids stopped working after like 6 months of introduction of the system...

It would greatly surprise me to see one company owner paying themselves out equally to their employees. While that's not the case that person is exploiting their employees labor for their personal gain. And no, people cant afford life.

This applies to any CEO no matter the business size. Otherwise most people could afford life.

LLMs can not reason. We'd need a very very different technology than LLMs to get there. Not to mention new "models" are basically old model agents with access to some more tools. Training actual new models is currently not co

After AGI? AGI is not a reality anyone of us will witness. Its a false promise in the current LLM market and we are as far away from it as we always have been... just listen to actual experts on the topic that dont profit from pushing a cer

In all honesty I value my craft and doing things without AI and id have much less of an issue with LLMs if people were more understanding of their capabilities and limitations. The tech environment is pushing AI into everything because its

No I should fulfill my part of the deal. In no way I am obliged to do it "as best as I can". If my employer isn't happy with my work, they can let me go. My employer is essentially exploiting my workforce for their gain and u

This also is a really ignorant approach to data poisoning issues in the LLM space. LLMs can easily be misused as propaganda machines...

This is a generalization. Salary in Europe is different to salary in the USA for example. I earn median wage currently. Also lots of non degree having devs out there that aren't 6 figure earners.

Which is weird given that AI critique usually gets down voted while the frontpage is full of "look what this new model can do" posts every day.

Corporations are the reason for lobbyism and wealth accumulation which actively damage my personal quality of life. Its only fair for me to not view them in a positive manner. They view me as an asset, I view them as necessary evil to affor

This mindset is completely sane. Sorry but if you work 40+ hours a week and barely can afford a vacation there is no reason for me to work hard. Especially not if I see managers with new cars every year.

The employer might not be the enemy but the employer certainly is not a friend either. Also its expected of young people to spend their time off with these things as well. All this plus the constant fear of being laid off results in people

My state (Germany) recently switched away from Microsoft to open source solutions and public offices have week long delays due to employees not finding buttons they were used to. They expect a 1 to 1 copy of the Microsoft product. Training

Who is taking pictures of art and calls themselves artist for that? People are generating images from stolen art and creating businesses off of that. People are faking being an artist on social media. But I shouldn't be surprised that

Yes. But here we are, people ignoring all the theft that has happened. People generating images on stolen art and call themselves artists. People using it to program and call themselves programmers. Also, it seems to me that so many people

JBL is unfortunately one of the brands that people buy nowadays and think of as "good". Well already was a thing 8 years ago... Please do not buy JBL nowadays. Its crap made for being thrown away after a few years. Real speakers a

Yea I used to listen with Focal speakers for a while. Dali is also pretty good. In the shop I used to work at we would have vinyl play a lot, real vinyl, not the plastic that is mostly fabricated nowadays. But considering to what kinda musi

I worked in this industry for years. Its actually sad what people consider "good" audio nowadays.

Yes but not on dating apps. Dating apps are predatory and their whole goal is to make money, not to connect people.

Absolutely, big factor is undefined behavior which makes it look like everything works. Until it doesn't. I quit C long ago because I don't want to deal with manual memory management in any language. I was overwhelmed by Zigs appr

I am torn about SSR. I see the advantages but I hate the workflow so so much... Also tightly coupling the views to your backend is something I really hate. I want to stay flexible, a completely independent frontend and a completely independ

I gave up on humans and this system. There are no good experiences to be made with others. Everything is a transaction nowadays and there is no altruism. Believe it or not, I am an altruist because I dont care anymore. I dont expect anythin
