Damn, those are not rookie numbers!

Yeah, I don’t think they would have been fired if they had just held a vigil without shitting all over their employers brands.

It’s easy to nitpick all the details in the video, but keep in mind that 2 years ago generative AI videos consisted mostly of shape shifting mosaics that vaguely resembled the things they were supposed to be. And now we’re down to “in this frame the 10x10 pixel airplane has a third wing”.

That doesn’t excuse the use of copyrighted material to get to this point, mind you. But to claim that this tech is going nowhere is just a contextless circlejerk.

Yay, mob justice!

That’s a a bit too absolute way to look at it.

From their point of view the goal isn’t to abolish human involvement, but to minimise the cost. So if they can do the job at the same quality with a quarter of the personnel through AI assistance for less cost, obviously they’re gonna do that.

At the same time, just because humans having crappy jobs is the current way we solve the problem of people getting money, doesn’t mean we should keep on doing that. Basic income would be a much nicer solution for that, for example. Try to think a bit less conservatively.

I’m not sure how long ago that was, but LLM context sizes have grown exponentially in the past year, from 4k tokens to over a hundred k. That doesn’t necessarily affect the quality of the output, although you can’t expect it to summarize what it can’t hold on memory.

I’m not being facetious though. Off-site backups of a digital password collection are easy to setup and maintain. But when you change your password or add a new entry, it’s going to be a pain in the ass to have to drive over and update a physical copy.

If you can live with those downsides, that’s fine. But in my opinion it would be facetious to pretend a physical backup is “just as good/usable” as a digital one.

-edit: whoops, misread that as implying that I was being facetious. As you were sir -

If getting a Dropbox account is too difficult for them, I seriously wonder why they’d be subscribed here, or reading articles about password management in browsers.

If you never, ever need your passwords outside of your home, that’s great advice - it’s as secure as can be against digital theft. Less so against fire though, and backups are out of the question.

I guess now is as good a time as any for them to start using a proper password manager.

Personally, I recommend Keepass - it has multiple clients for all platforms, and you can keep the file in sync with a program of your own choosing, like Dropbox, syncthing or whatever you like.

For me it just gives an error post0 failed to load.

It’s unused, you can go ahead and kill it.

Truly the brightest timeline.

With these kind of titles, I hope you will, and know you won’t.

Yeah. My guess is that for every meticulously hand crafted ui, there’s 10 that just go with the default. If a user wants an icon pack where🤘means home, they’ll be perfectly fine with navigating your application.

Developers can always include an option to disable styling if that would severely break the ui. But personally, I’d rather use a application that looks roughly like every other one in the system, than one that’s so specifically designed that it doesn’t.

Besides it’s usefulness as an adblocker, I like how it allows you to disable javascript for a site with just 2 clicks. Closing a newsletter popup works for a visit, but no javascript works forever.

That’s a good thing to put it in perspective, yeah. The amount of people who think AI is just a fad that will go away is staggering.

Ai isn’t the bubble, that’ll keep on improving, although probably not at this rate.

The hype bubble is companies adding AI to their product where it offers very little, if any, added value, which is incredibly tedious.

The latter bubble can burst, and we’ll all be better for it. But generative AI isn’t going anywhere.

EDIT: Well this is by far my most negative comment here. That’s almost entertaining.

For what it’s worth, once you take down votes out of the equation, your comment isn’t doing so bad relatively. Fuck the haters, focus on the positive.
