So can I just use the OBS virtual camera with a video of somebody waving

Or when it's a bulk item and it reads out what you're buying for all the other customers to hear

If Lemmy is supposed to be the place where the most tech savvy people in the interest congregate, and everyone in the comments is unsatisfied with AI then we really do have a problem. These companies have all reached a point where they no longer listen to their most informed customer base but instead take 100% of direction from investors who don't even know what they want except a line going up.

As far as I can tell there hasn't been any tangible reward in terms of pay increase, promotion or external recruitment from using the cognitive amplifier.

What is this AI everywhere concept actually supposed to accomplish for the end user? Maybe I'm just behind on the vision but I can't grasp the point. I have a feeling it's not really about what the users want but I'd love to here a genuinely good use case.

15 years ago Target specialized in creating a shopping experience where the consumer could discover trendy, fun, useful items that they couldn't find in other similar retailers. Today it's all the same merchandise you could find anywhere and there's no value proposition to shop at Target.

My favorite is the Tide Free and Clear commercial where the kid goes "look dad, it's just as clean but without any of the chemicals that harm me!" They're literally admitting their core product contains harmful chemicals yet people are still buying it!

Or you know, buy the chips fair and square, buy the stock fair and square, provide a service that's worth something, and make profit from both transactions.

You've already paid for the gas that's in your tank, best you can do is get the most miles out of it. Long term habits that increase overall average MPG also reduce wear and make parts last longer. Biggest thing is not speeding up when you see a red light ahead.

All the people who made the boomer neurodivergents disappear either have dementia or are long gone. Easy scapegoat.

And get to it how? Through a PC?

Maybe because Russia barely has a functioning road system to even get the votes mailed?

Right this is what frustrates me there literally aren't that many jobs to apply for unless you're applying to literally every cashier job around you. And for people in small towns even that option doesn't exist. Even 10 years ago people would send me links to jobs that were obvious scams on Indeed and they'd say "see! There ARE jobs!"

Both require a history of significant lead exposure to justify using.

Actually it won't be finishing anything because code is disposable now and nobody cares what trivial app somebody can churn out

They're obsessed with this idea that people they perceive to be lower on the social hierarchy than them can somehow always have a use for their old stuff. As if using their old stuff is part of the process to become successful like them.

IMO it's been Adobe really running the Mac vs Windows duopoly for over a decade at this point. If they made their software compatible with Linux people would have virtually no reason to continue using Windows.

Plugging in a flash drive and having it just work would be a start. Linux beginners don't care about the plight with exfat support.

Zero, it's always outdated versions of Firefox or Chrome (if a UA is even provided at all)

I love how with the previous schemes like crypto, communities like this would have thought they were in on it, now with AI it's like nope not falling for that Spanish prisoner BS again.
