It's my personal Claude subscription
If your place of work doesn't already have a security policy preventing personal AI subscriptions from being used on corporate data they probably should.
That being said, many companies are happy to take the additional productivity without having to pay an additional license fee. I suspect this will continue until the prices of the subscriptions rise (or the tokens they offer shrink) to where people are no longer willing to pay out of pocket for the boost. That or companies will realize they've been leaking tons of confidential data to these providers.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Has Slowdown Issues Because It Keeps Thinking About All Your Theft and Violence
I'm having flashbacks to Skyrim. Developers were puzzled how players got a bounty even when no one was around and discovered that chickens were reporting crimes.

After Valve says no, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic devs unite to get "very serious" about their very silly demand for a dwarf tag on Steam, and they want your help

The Steam awards are a total joke. RDR, a game with zero content updates won labor of love. Starfield, a paint-by-number Bethesda RPG is most innovative. But it doesn't matter because the awards don't matter.

Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla's Supercharger empire
Pretty ridiculous to have multiple standards for this anyway. Imagine if you had to hunt down a gas station that served whatever proprietary fuel you needed.

Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?

Exactly. It's like hey... If the corpos take a dump in your mouth you can either leave or you can stick around and complain about the taste. And yet the people who left are the whiners?

Police stage ‘chilling’ raid on Marion County newspaper, seizing computers, records and cellphones
This is my hometown and unfortunately this is just the most recent escalation. Mayor Mayfield and most conservatives in the area have it out for the Record and have been causing all sorts of chaos at City Council meetings.
This isn't the only scandal the Record was investigating either. The director of the hospital quit amidst a brewing scandal from over billing the local pharmacy while trying to open a competing pharmacy through family. Of course it's all mixed up with local politics. People don't like journalists asking difficult questions and don't think the rules apply to them.

boys rule
Fictional men telling you it's okay to have emotions and struggle is appealing because real men do not typically speak about these values. Boys are constantly surrounded by a maelstrom of toxic masculinity. Anything that helps them cultivate a positive inner voice and healthy self image is fine by me.

Linus Torvalds takes on evil developers, hardware errors and 'hilarious' AI hype

I write a lot of scripts that engineers need to run. I used to really try to make things 'fail soft' so that even if one piece failed the rest of the script would keep running and let you know which components failed and what action you needed to take to fix the problem.
Eventually I had so many issues with people assuming that any errors that didn't result in a failure were safe to ignore and crucial manual steps were being missed. I had to start making them 'fail hard' and stop completely when a step failed because it was the only way to get people to reliably perform the desired manual step.
Trying to predict and account for other people's behavior is really tricky, particularly when a high level of precision is required.

Study finds anti-piracy messages backfire, especially for men
Reply in thread
There was a golden age of Netflix where I basically stopped pirating movies and TV too.
Now streaming is a fragmented ad-ridden nightmare and I pirate more than ever before. It's not like it's free either, I pay for a VPN, disk storage, let alone the time and maintenance.
If I could buy (and actually own) high quality digital copies of movies/tv with no bullshit at a reasonable price that would be a serious value proposition that would beat out the hassles that come along with piracy.
