if these folks were serious about their privacy - they would be running fucking Qubes

Windows 13 is going to have first completely uncooperative AI. You ask him to open system setting and it says “the fuck’s good for me, eh?”. You tell him to download Winamp and it tells you “what the fuck is that shit? it does even collect your data! fuck you, i’m not dowloading that, the gall!” or you tell him to turn itself off and it tells you “nah, i’m good” or if you ask to switch to manual it tells you “get fucked, you ain’t getting that”.

what’s baffling is that there are people who seriously argue that education is a commodity or even luxury and not a basic human right.

meanwhile, some tech bro tries to wrangle this into some kind of ARG product

More like the destruction of shadow libraries make education way worse because you can’t find a lot of stuff otherwise.

Imagine your behavior shaped by Ubisoft collect-a-thons. Now that’s grim.

well, that’s corps for ya. that’s why people work in startups and scam corps out of ridiculous sums of money for some bullshit solutions wrapped around in shiny presentations. in most cases the only place where everybody go out of their way to “get things done” is on paper.

aren’t they gone extinct? Maybe it is a regional thing - down here in Ukraine we ran out of these guys by the time the invasion started.

no. pushing harder is counterproductive under most circumstances. unless it is an emergency security situation - there is no good reason to crunch your team.

Facts. I had five requests for “AI workforce optimization strategies” last quarter. People paying big bucks to find out their bright vision of the future is fucking dead end over and over again is kinda fascinating. There are ways to implement AI to improve specific parts of the workflow. Busywork mostly but nevertheless - it can work. However, none of it works in tandem with saving money on having fewer people on the team. The only real tangible benefit of implementing AI tools at this point is that your team members burn out a bit slower.

That’s just fucked up.

There was a movie with one of the Mighty Boosh folks that featured characters communicating exclusively like apes - it’s called AAAAARGGHH or something like that. It’s technically a regular british screwball kitchen sink dramedy but with a gimmick

damn. that’s literally me.

Did we have an Assassin’s Creed about that?

pay to win LOL

It’s been a couple of weeks since i switched to mint and gotta tell you that this is very tempting

it is still like 100 gb or so on one disc.

buying a bluray burner and a stack of discs is way cheaper and it will take forever to use them all unless you’re a hardcore hoarder.

LET THEM FIGHT!

I don’t think arrogance is the right strategy to deal with economic bubbles. With that said, I fully support Amazon’s arrogance in the face of AI Bubble because they have it coming.
