You don’t sell the same amount of product when you have to increase the price. You may need to shrink your business to not get the remaining margin getting eaten up by operational costs.

Dude, wtf is wrong with them?

Because you can’t dismiss 30% of a population. They need to at least partially be taken along, just because they’re too many to just declare war on.

Let’s declare war on a more manageable percentage and definitely without compromising core values. So we gotta pierce the bubble of the misinformed, but defeat the ones who misinform out of malice and self interest.

Yeah, the ignorant way they cope with the truth does come close to malice.

I agree that 0-days aren’t numbered. There are so many layers on which tech can be exploited that this is a difficult claim to make.

On the other hand, there are two different kind of exploits: clear holes in the logic, a situation or code path not considered by the coder. And the much harder to catch extremely creative ways to make a program do things it was never designed to do.

I have not seen LLMs doing creative things ever, so I doubt it would catch this second category. But sure, catching some logic holes it can be helpful with.

The job market is actually pretty bad right now and with all the recent layoffs in tech very saturated. Unionizing would make more sense.

I know it’s not an excuse, but I doubt they all know and knowingly support all of this. There’s plenty of people utterly un- or misinformed about what’s going on in the world or inside the US. There was this video recently where they interviewed beach-goers about the Iran war. They barely even knew what a war or Iran was.

I guess AOL published this in the “entertainment” section because horror is also an entertainment category.

But we have to identify this as what it is: an internal policy failure where they abandon proven processes to maintain code quality.

I guess I’m lucky my managers have not put that pressure on me yet. I do however see developers getting sloppy and lazier so the reviews actually do take more effort and AI rarely catches all problems with a change.

At least in my experience these models are pretty good now to write code based on best practices. If you ask for impractical things they will start doing ugly shortcuts or workarounds. A good eye catches these and you either rerun with a refined prompt, fix your own design or just keep telling it how you want to have it fixed.

You still gotta know how good code looks like to write it, but the models can help a lot.

Or rather the right to use shovels under ToS that can be changed on a whim.

I really don’t get this quantity-first approach. If you wanted to actually transform the world with tech in a way it’s not just superficial, you’d create task forces that sit together with specialist in each field of medical, construction, logistics, finance etc. give them 2 years to build prototypes and action plans. Then bet on the N most promising applications, spin them off as separate companies with premium access to your most advanced AI models and vertically integrate them into their workflows.

This would actually, sustainably achieve a foothold into these industries, disrupt and transform them long term.

He’s majority shareholder or has some trick to never be dethroned.

I have acquaintances at Meta and they literally waste tokens on bullshit tasks. They have like 10 agents running simultaneously doing some elaborate task that takes a long time. You can’t tell me this is more productive or efficient than doing actual work. Even if half of these tasks are somewhat useful and related to your project.

Just a doctor.

Any society who cares about its weakest members would ostracize such scum. Instead we celebrate them on TV and event make them our representatives. It really shows what society values: people that can make that singular number go up, the faster the better, regardless of sacrifice.

Just another of the pedo’s DUI hires.

The less money they have the less damage they cause

This shit makes dystopian cyberpunk stories cute fairytales I can read to my toddlers. An alternative has to be worked towards. For all our interest.

In the meantime let’s drain as much capital from the place we can.
