For what it’s worth, I buy this. We had tech bubbles before but this is so big, while also one of the few sources of growth anymore, while real economy is stagnating.

Fair but I wouldn’t ever work for weapons manufacturing. Also sabotage in that context would have heavy punishment, and at worst could cause collateral damage.

Similar cases with my old company. In my case people who would had suffered the most direct consequences would had been my colleagues who I respect.

But I could totally cause trouble without any backdoor access.

Lol everyone probably fantasizes about such thing sometimes, but even if you weren’t caught, it’s not worth it to personally be bitter like that.

Just got laid off and could had done the same. Except I don’t have to. Internal systems are so bad and undocumented and I was like only IT specialist there who could use linux, and so many things related to core businesses were just basically behind me.

The kill switch has made it self. Funny how I would have written more documentation if I ever was given the time.

Well maybe, micro work is really dehumanizing and cognitively rough. I hear some US inmates do work at McDonalds and if I had to choose between that and microwork, and if time I spent working was the same with both options, I would take the fastfood job any day. At least have done that before irl so I know what to expect.

I’m ADHD in IT job, and my mind would explode if work I did with computer was just unskilled datasorting job.

But I do know US inmates have basically slave conditions. But I read a book about microwork and it sounds like psychological torture to me. Like what they do in Severance.

(Work without worker is the book)

I hear they do micro work for mechanical turk in some Finnish prisons. It is optional, but surely won’t teach you anything at all about tech.

I fear he is now in position to force goverment to buy his shit cars. Cybertrucks for cops etc.

TBH I felt this was bit superficial. No concrete examples, I don’t really think adoption curve outside tech people will be that fast to agents, doesn’t really go into how using agents to manipulate people would significantly differ from using non agent chatbot for same end.

I’m still worried how AI agents could be used to do evil, just that I don’t feel any better informed after reading this.

Curious to hear any thoughts on this.

Same, but apparently android app is no longer supported since google play was too annoying for the developer. So wondering how long I can keep it up.

Probably not too much so his big tech friends can scrape all data they need.

I make an exception for one of the best tech outlets

I don’t really like idea, I can’t see how it could be done in anyway that doesn’t lead to already rich people insider trading it.

Ngl I always hated crypto but this is like best argument for crypto. Wtf I’m even doing at my job, I should be doing something actually important like scramming Elon Musk fans.

Having AI to analyze your turds 300$ and 96$/y

Saying “hell naw I shouldn’t have had all that taco bell and beer this weekend” Free

to add, if one does not want to use CLI, Axiom is great UI for ffmppeg where you can do the less advanced stuff. https://axiomui.github.io/

"one of the most significant breakthroughs in audio engineering in nearly 100 years”. It would be one of the most significant breakthroughs in audio industry if Sonos and other WiFi speaker brands would go bankrupt and their workforce would move on to develop something, anything more useful than wifi speaker with proprietary app.

Nature is healing

Umm excuse me but if I am awaken by “it’s me Mario” I may have to drop third nuke to Japan targeting just Nintendo headquarters.

It is a independent publication for tech critical journalism, founded by ex motherboard journalists. Only some of their stuff is paywalled, some only requires free account. Agree on their site but their journalism is usually pretty good.

It does but when you input error logs it does pretty good job at finding issues. I tried it out first by making game of snake that plays itself. Took some prompting to get all features I wanted but in the end it worked great in no time. After that I decided to try to make distortion VST3 plugin similar to ZVEX Fuzz Factory guitar pedal. It took lot’s of prompting to get out something that actually builds without error I was quickly able to fix those when I copied the error log to the prompt. After that I kept prompting it further eg. “great, now it works but Gate knob doesn’t seem to do anything and knobs are not centered”.

In the end I got perfectly functional distortion plugin. Haven’t compared it to an actual pedal version yet. Not that AI will just replace us all but it can be truly powerful once you go beyond initial answer.
