Yeah, if anyone can truly afford the AI empire. Remember all these "leading" companies are running it at a loss, so most companies paying for it are severely underpaying the cost of it all. We would need an insane technological breakthrough of unlimited memory and power before I start to worry, and at that point, I'll just look for a new career.
> I hate the internet's psychosis-like reaction to AI more.
The tone is always one of bravery and sacrifice mixed with disgust.
You know how you can tell someone hates AI? They'll tell you fifty times. It's becoming a personality type.
The anti AI folks are review bombing games even suspected of using AI.
The anti AI losers on Reddit are doxxing people that use AI. I have been a target of this.
The anti AI people brigade YouTube creators that use AI to destroy their traction. They'll share links of victims. I have been a target of this too, after spending weeks working on a single three minute animation.
I'm living in this world every day because I build tools for the AI ecosystem.
This is not positive. This is not neural. It's downright hostile, aggressive, and cultish.
Have you considered pro-AI proponents all do these things also? It’s an ugly culture war but from a relatively neutral observer I am seeing gross behavior on both sides. (Eg. Making disgusting porn of real people, mocking the dead’s art and likeness…)
Because it makes it harder for a future Parliament to change the law since it was resolved by a court decision on a constitutional ground instead of an amendment. Also, it’s not clear the amendment would have passed if it wasn’t necessary to comply with the court decision.
> I read it as saying you should fire someone because of their age. Not stupid, malicious.
One does not get the title of "Staff Engineer" for age.
One also does not get fired for age. One gets fired for sitting on their ass doing virtually nothing. The "Staff Engineers" and above tend to sit on their ass, doing virtually nothing. Any sane company would do well by firing them.
When Google was a young company the idea of someone in engineering with a fat title sitting on his ass doing nothing was not tolerated. That's when Google was doing amazing things, was innovative and actually gave a s!it because every single person in that company wanted to get s!it done. Right now Google is a standard issue sh!t company because its upper echelons are full of people who are just warming their fancy chairs, talk about their amazing work life balance and count the days to their next options package vests so they can take yet another multi-months vacation.
I does not in the slightest. Rather, It suggests it's time to start removing Apple entanglements from your digital life, for reasons that are described in the article.
For me, it's a chance to experience what it was like to use and develop software on these systems back in the day. For example, lately I've been writing some small apps and adding new kernel features to a variant of V6 Unix running on my PDP-11/05. It's humbling to see what it really took to be productive on these systems.
Some people even did y2k patches to BSD 4.3. Also, tons of 'modern' software could run on it you can get GCC 2.95 and GCC 3.4. Lynx, for instance. Or gopher and IRC clients. And, maybe, with a bit of luck, Lua and JimTCL.
