The wild thing is, turning off autopilot and using lane keep and cruise is fine.
Mine isn’t. I don’t have or use “self driving”. I have used cruise control (what Tesla refers to as “autopilot”) but it is risky. My Tesla’s cruise control has slammed on the brakes on interstates at 65 MPH multiple times. I’ve stopped using it because it is so dangerous. If there had been a large truck behind me any of those times it would have been ugly.
I will never forgive Carley Fiorino for killing HP.
Eventually they’ll start demanding you run their crypto-miners in order to watch a video.
“AI” is a blanket term that has recently been used to cover everything from LLMs to machine learning to RPA (robotic process automation).
Yup. That was very intentionally done by marketing wanks in order to muddy the water. Look! This computer program , er we mean “AI” can convert speech to text. Now, let us install it into your bank account."
Sure. And AI that identifies objects in pictures and converts pictures of text into text. There’s lots of good and amazing applications about AI. But that’s not what we’re complaining about.
We’re complaining about all the people who are asking, “Is AI ready to tell me what to do so I don’t have to think?” and “Can I replace everyone that works for me with AI so I don’t have to think?” and “Can I replace my interaction with my employees with AI so I can still get paid for not doing the one thing I was hired to do?”
Agreed. Unfortunately, one half of our population thinks that anyone in power is a genius, is always right and shouldn’t have to pay taxes or follow laws.
Man, if only someone could have predicted that this AI craze was just another load of marketing BS.

This experience has taught me more about CEO competence than anything else.
Try watching Winter on Fire on Netflix. It documents Ukraine overthrowing their dictator. It wasn’t a clean process. But hopefully the ending will be the same, with our dictator also fleeing back to Russia.

You means the person(s) funding all of this?

Guess this means Apple has run out of ideas on how to make iPhone better.
What can we do to distract attention away from the fact that we don’t have any decent new features?
From here on it’s going to be just more decades of, “Come on, bro. Just one more shot. My new AI that will be better. I’ve added another 5,000 Reddit pages. This one will be smart. Trust me, bro. Buy this hardware. I’ll throw in some Bitcoin and a couple of NFT. Just one more, bro.”
Used to have an admin that would fully spell out every word except ‘pls’.
“pls don’t microwave fish in the breakroom”, etc.
You spell out every other word… is ‘please’ really that hard to write?
So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?
“Elon Musk announced plans to construct his first gigabay in Texas, a structure designed to house up to one thousand of his rockets per year and to serve in colonizing Mars.”
Why not just use the Line City Neom instead? It’s already built, so it can certainly safely house one thousand rockets.

Having too much money is literally the easiest problem in the world to solve.
I legit got an e-mail from Facebook telling me that I should join Facebook because “no one uses e-mail anymore”. Ummmm……well someone must be still using e-mail and No.
Wait. I thought we were going to be replaced with robots. What do they need AI for? To interview the robots?
You are correct. But without defending Stack Overflow, I feel the need to point out that the arrogance and condescension is by no means limited to their platform. I’ve been on several “support” pages that were the same or worse. For example Evernote’s “support”. It wasn’t “officially” hosted by Evernote, but had the Evernote logo everywhere . The most common phrases I remember from there are the equivalent of:
I can only guess that asking moderators deal with the internet public for no pay is more than reasonable people are willing to do. So we wind up with unpaid people with people skills equivalent to 13 y.o. boys put in charge. Their only compensation being allowed to troll users and feel they have power over some small portion of other people. My guess is they eventually grow older and move on to being in charge of a homeowner association.
They’re saying “free” email services. What they mean are disposable e-mail services. You go to a website, they provide you with a random e-mail address. You enter that address into the form, check for the verification code on the disposable e-mail site and you’re done with the disposable e-mail. You never visit the disposable site again. Do a search for “disposable email”.
