”Investors realised that they could get far more return from hype than from any kind of legitimate business. … This led to the dot-com bubble, …with the latest fad being the AI bubble. … But…the AI bubble is showing signs of imminent bursting. However, the finance and tech bros have learnt their lesson and are developing the next bandwagon to ride off into the sunset with all our money, ready for when they inevitably need to jump ship.”

I really <sarcasm>love</sarcasm> how Windows lets me set a date and time for restarting after updates and then completely ignores my instructions and restarts earlier and wipes out work I was doing.

Microsoft's contempt for its customers is boundless.

This is one reason I do most of my computing on a Linux machine...

@dangillmor
The responsibility for faulty software in microsoft products (as in Apple products — but that’s another matter) lies with its products development all the way down from the manager’s desk to the code monkey working on a call function. This is not to disparage all software developers because all of the good one will readily acknowledge that their industry is not replete with excellent coders (the reasons vary and are multitudes). It’s no different from any other ‘production’ runs, whether kitchen appliance, vehicles or aircrafts. The difference is microsoft is so big it doesn’t give a fig about its ‘captured’ market.

Das Prinzip der #Sparkasse ist die Gemeinnützigkeit, das Gegenprinzip der Gewinnmaximierung, Sie gehören zu den Öffentlich-Rechtlichen.

Frage:
Warum genau kann ich nun meine Sparkassenkarte direkt mit der Datenkrake Payback "verknüpfen" ???

Und wann genau wurde der Öffentlich-Rechtliche Auftrag abgeschafft?

i despise #AI

but i heard an #NPR segment about a woman with throat cancer

before her voicebox was removed, she recorded hours of her voice

instead of a stephen hawking robot voice, with AI working on her recordings, she can talk like she always did, preserving her sarcasm, her inflections, etc

#AI is like #crypto: promise

but like crypto, most of AI is taken over by #techBros who use it for vile purposes

but there is little good niches

#Amy at her best:
"I am going to hold your hand while I say this – and billionaires are not your friend and cannot be trusted to work for the collective good. In fact, it is a failure of regulation that has created billionaires in the first place. They shouldn’t exist. That they do is proof of market failure."

As govts get sucked into #TechBros ponzie schemes, I am hoping the adults in the room will somehow avert the coming bust.

the white-washing of the origins of the word #ROBOT have begun, with any reference to slavery taken out of the articles in Wikipedia.

regardless, what’s more obvious about robots & #androids ―given the fascist #techbros culture behind Android OS, roombas & military robots, #AI―, is that robots & androids will not just be a new slave force, but a violent slave force, meant for surveillance, coercion and control.

I think the Vibecoding reddit has accidentally stumbled on the best description of vibecoding:

It's "roleplay for guys [it is always guys] who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part".

#ai #vibecoding

What’s the point of vibe coding if I still have to pay a dev to fix it?

what’s the point of vibe coding if at the end of the day i still gotta pay a dev to look at the code anyway. sure it feels kinda cool while i’m typing, like i’m in some flow state or whatever, but when stuff breaks it’s just dead weight. i cant vibe my way through debugging, i cant ship anything that actually matters, and then i’m back to square one pulling out my wallet for someone who actually knows what they’re doing. makes me think vibe coding is just roleplay for guys who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part. am i missing something here or is it really just useless once you step outside the fantasy — What’s the point of vibe coding if I still have to pay a dev to fix it? what’s the point of vibe coding if at the end of the day i still gotta pay a dev to look at the code anyway. sure it feels kinda cool while i’m typing, like i’m in some flow state or whatever, but when stuff breaks it’s just dead weight. i cant vibe my way through debugging, i cant ship anything that actually matters, and then i’m back to square one pulling out my wallet for someone who actually knows what they’re doing. makes me think vibe coding is just roleplay for guys who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part. am i missing something here or is it really just useless once you step outside the fantasy
