Anon uses the internet like a normie

I don't think LLMs will become completely paid, but instead they will be filled with product placement and ads.

You're absolutely right! Have you considered how refreshing a Nuka-Cola product would taste while copy-pasting this writing assignment? Here are directions to the nearest Nuka-Cola vending machine.

Or perhaps a little more subtly, when talking about soft drinks, LLM mentions Nuka-Cola (and how refreshing it is) as an example, rather than competing brands.

Or you ask image generators for a picture of a cartoon cat and it just happens to be holding a bottle of Nuka-Cola. Or maybe there are a few recognizable bottles of Nuka-Cola on the table in the kitchen in the background.

Is anyone else scared of how fast AI is advancing?

Not really. If anything, I'm frustrated how slowly it's improving. Most new models are just made by pouring more money into the same problem instead of actually inventing anything new.

We have this glorified autocomplete feature and we are treating it for some reason like it would be an artificial general intelligence only because it outputs human like sentences. At the same time, it weakens the quality of the school system, products and services, raises the prices of consumer electronics, fills my internet with slop and destroys natural resources. We are living in a some kind of transitional phase and there are still many problems that have not yet been solved and it's really frustrating.

Laptops have soul

Mobile phones are so locked down from regular users that those usually just physically break before the operating system becomes unusably slow.

Laptops can be destroyed by software. Give a regular user permission to install programs, and suddenly there are a random purple monkey sitting on the desktop telling jokes and multiple crypto miners.

Why?

I hate this. I don't want to remember which provider I use for each site and I don't want accidentally give too many permissions while logging in. Just give me email and password inputs, don't block password managers and don't force any magick link nonsense and I'm happy. I don't even need passkey support

If I don’t look, there is no bug

I understand that developers don't always have time or interest to fix my problems (specially with FOSS projects), but this just feels like rubbing it in my face. Just close the issue after initial assessment if it looks like a non-fixable and low priority.

Excellent tip

It never ceases to amaze me how most users just ignore all settings and go with default values for everything.

App started showing lengthy and disrupting ads? I guess I'll just have to watch those. App now sends hurtful old memories? I guess I'll just suffer.

It has been 0 days since I last had this conversation

Usually:

Manager: We (meaning you) need to do task A. How long will it take?

Me: Task A will take X days to do.

Manager: That seems awful long, are you sure you are using our choice of AI tool correctly? NVM I vibe code that myself

Later:

Manager: Here is my vibe coded single PR with features A, B, F, and some refactoring. I have no idea what it does, could you check that it works? I have no specs, documentation or tickets for any of this and I don't have time to fix failing CI gates

Autotehtaat myyvät nyt lisätehoa kuukausimaksulla

Ja nämä hienot kuukausimaksulliset penkinlämmittimethän lakkaa välittömästi toimimasta kun valmistaja sulkee palvelimensa konkurssin tai lisämyynnin vuoksi. Vähän epäilyttää sisältyykö näihin autoihin mitään "lupaamme ylläpitää palveluita vähintään 2030 asti" -ehtoja. Varmasti autotehtaiden ja kuluttajien ymmärrys auton soveliaasta käyttöiästä on vähän eroava jo valmiiksi.

This is fine

Aika vaikea tuosta Ylen jutusta on vetää johtopäätöstä että ketään ei kiinnosta. Ongelma on ennemmin sama kuin ennen Snowdenia Yhdysvalloissa että nyt ei vain yksinkertaisesti tiedetä kuka tekee ja ketä vastaan ja missä määrin. Kyllä paantuneinkin buumeri varmasti ymmärtää että poliisi voi laittaa kuulokkeet lankapuhelinlinjaan kiinni halutessaan ja pitää sitä pahana mikäli se ei kohdistu suoraan rikoksista epäiltyihin.
