I worked at one of those my first job out of college. The dude that started it was a used car salesman turned “serial entrepreneur”.

All military personnel will require Facebook accounts to use Meta AR goggles.

Eventually all of this slop will pass when they realize it does not work. But for a couple years everyone is gonna have to put up with companies trying bullshit like this until the metrics show that it doesn’t do anything for the cash.

Yeah like I’m a lot cooler on the AI hype than most but the articles argument is weak. This is the same shit people were saying when SO and Google were gaining traction. Surprisingly having one tool does not limit people from digging further into internals

My last job did AI submitted PRs and they were the most obnoxious thing. They’d make broad changes and break shit and we were expected to merge them in because “AI”.

I’ve been learning drums for a bit. It’s a lot of fun. I’d recommend sticking with it.

I dunno at some point I’m just gonna stop watching tv and find other ways to entertain myself.

Dude a senior manager needs to get promoted somehow

For engineers at least it’s always been a pain.

L4 (the starting point) -> L5 is expected within a few years. After that it’s a fucking crapshoot. You can be stuck in L5 the rest of your career.

Amazon is doing the same thing.

It’s phrased as giving top tier employees ability to penetrate bands.

In practice you have to be rated Top Tier (which is assigned on a curve and only 5-10 percent of employees will hit) 3 years in a row. So if you have an off year or a new manager then you’re screwed. I’d wager that’s less than 1% of the company that’ll hit that.

For everyone else it was a 10% pay cut. Woo?

I’ve been the weird one in my friend group because I’ve refused to use Airbnb. Why would I want a less guaranteed place to stay that doesn’t have amenities and now costs more?

Fatpeoplehate was also a trip to watch play out

Fuck Josh Hawley

I’ve worked on these “cost saving” government rewrites before. The problem is getting decades of domain logic and behavior down to where people can be productive. It takes a lot of care and nuance to do this well.

Since these nazi pea brains can’t even secure a db properly I have my doubts they’ll do this successfully.

I thought he accidentally typed his password.

Mine is hunter2

So Deepmind is good to train on your models then right?

That’s how a lot of shitty communities started.

GamersRiseUp was a parody community until actual racists joined and weren’t in on the joke. Then the joke got lost.

All this would do is just fuel the actual right wing nut jobs.

Yeah I’ll believe it when I see the trend last more than a month or 2

Same. Big tech is still whole hog on Generative AI
