I let Copilot write emails to annoying customers for me now. Company pays for the license, might as well use it.

Couldn’t have happened to a scummier hive of villainy. I wil unironically applaud every bad thing that happens to the site.

Nothing of value lost, there are uncountable alternatives.

Lol no it isn’t. Quite the opposite.

It grows more oblique with every generation, but that is not progress.

I liked this joke better when it was about async. Fits the purpose better.

I’m pretty firmly in the second category only. I have had the first a few times, but when whatever thing you were so stoked about inevitably fries or fails a few weeks in, you quickly learn to stop doing #1 altogether.

Fuck, I get about a 150€ for being on call for a week. I’m getting ripped off.

I specifically ask for sources to my questions and to notify me of any possible controversies or counterclaims.

Some of the capabilities of todays’ AI’s are incumbent on the user, not the system itself.

Before AI’s existed you could also get badly sourced claims or outright misinformation. The key is to remain critical and sceptical about ALL your sources. I don’t see AI as a new source of information, just as a new way to get and organize that information.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I would. The knowledge that “A” me is out there, somewhere, safe and sound, is uplifting, but it’s still quite chilling to realize you are staying wherever the hell you are. At least we die after enough time has passed because our bodies decay.

If you are the version doing the upload, you’re staying behind. The other “you” pops into existence feeling as if THEY are the original, so from their perspective, it’s as if they won the coin flip.

But the original CANNOT win that coinflip…

I think SOMA made it pretty clear we’re never uploading jack shit, at best we’re making a copy for whom it’ll feel as if they’ve been uploaded, but the original remains behind as well.

Haha right? Not saying this is you but whenever people try to tell me I have impostor syndrome, I’m thinking like “incompetent people exist. I’m just one of them”.

Funny, I’ve been in my current support/devops role for 9 years and every year I wonder more what the hell I’m doing. It somehow seems like I get dumber/lose knowledge/the field expands much more rapidly than my broken mind can keep up with.

I feel like a glorified script kiddie most of the time. I couldn’t program my way out of a wet paper bag if my life depended on it.

Even Avogadro’s number?

Working 70-90 hours on your own dream vs working 70-90 hours for someone else’s dream while you get less than scraps. Totally equivalent in the minds of the completely deranged, aka the rich.

They’ve had the ability to match Tor Exit node traffic to specific users since 2013 at the very least (snowden leaks talked about how they were able to crossreference certain metadata even without direct access to the exit node itself).

At this point I’m convinced that ALL of Reddit had become compromised. It’s been that way for at least three years, possibly longer.

Let’s face it: whenever there’s a point (online or irl) where millions upon millions of people would congregate to exchange ideas and discourse - ESPECIALLY anti-establishment rethoric - that point was going to be a frontline for the clash of ideologies.

And we all know which ideology has all the capital and elects to co-op everything, including criticism against itself.
