Companies Are Realizing They’re Spending a Fortune on AI Just So Their Employees Can Generate Error-Riddled Slop, and Suddenly Cutting Back Budgets.

However, they tested the agents for a few weeks before allowing us to use them, so that they know the agents do what they're suppose to do.

I hope they're planning on doing that for every model change, or pinning it to a specific model. Otherwise, you're gonna have a bad time when model updates completely change how the bot functions.

If we can solve the healthcare issue, everything will change for the better. I truly believe that.

Exactly the reason the right have been fighting healthcare coverage so hard sor so long; they know that chaining your health insurance to the anchor around your neckyour job, it makes you less likely to leave.

Hell, assuming your company gets bought midyear, you can experience the joys of not having health insurance while you technically do have it! I had a few weeks this year effectively without insurance because the massive corpo fucknuggets that bought my comparatively tiny company weren't competent enough to have the new insurance company (that they use for themselves) loaded with all of our info, so we got left in the lurch while being told for over a week that "they were loading our data now" (a week into the process) or they "had escalated the problem to the highest management" a full 5 days and a weekend before they started sending out paper letters with the info (that still didn't fucking work for 2 days).

Not the person you responded to, but yeah, it seems to in my case.

I'm one of those people that don't exist, in that any AI code I generate is reviewed prior to running. I've been forced to use fucking copilot to check in the source I have to a new company repository, and so far diffing the code checked into source control is unchanged, but it seems to be good about updating the header to the standard in supposed to be using. I'm also having it do basic reviews of the code and only updating the files as I see fit.

MicroBlog memes sees harm reduction as trolling

So, given the limitations we have in reality for first past the post, what option is there other than the Democrats for president, or politicians who will caucus with the Democrats at the federal level?

Because between the two parties, only one of them is actively trying to turn this country into a white supremecist country by (among other things) removing women and minorities from positions of power (unless they're toadies, then qualifications don't matter), removing minorites or uncomfortable facts of their racism from history books and historical landmarks.

People say both sides are the same, but that's just privileged bullshit. I see first hand daily how far this country has fallen backwards in just a few years, and it baffles me how anyone can think that the Democrats would do a tenth of the awful shit that's been implemented by the Republicans.

It's almost like Substack has a Nazi problem and has for years.

Stop pretending substack isn't a Nazi platform, because they actively support Nazi propaganda on their site and have refused to take it down or commit to keeping it off their platform.

Substack is run by Nazi supporters at the very least, which should be enough for people to flee in droves, but more people are ok with Nazis than we want to admit.

Welp

Multiple accidents in a row. Accidentally doing the same thing multiple times with a smile on your face. Enthusiastically making a mistake, repeating it, and not commenting about the mistake.

These are all examples of how people act when they make mistakes.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

The AI Mode pill in the Chrome 147 omnibox is a cloud-backed Search Generative Experience surface - every query the user types into it is sent over the network to Google's servers for processing by Google's hosted models. The on-device Nano model is not invoked by the AI Mode UI flow at all. They are entirely separate code paths - the most visible AI affordance in the browser does not use the local model the user has been silently given, and the features that do use the local model (Help-Me-Write in , tab-group AI suggestions, smart paste, page summary) are buried in textarea-context menus and tab-group right-click menus that the average user will discover, on average, never.

What a double kick to the dick. First, they silently download 4gb to your disk, and they still fucking send your shit to their cloud AI.
