Same. If it wasn’t for my adblockers, I’d have stopped using youtube long ago.

…which would be valid

He got his money back and a 5dollar gift code. Shit happens

Dev is actually going pretty well. What they have achieved is pretty amazing.

But they are going to say the game is in ‘alpha’ as long as they can, because it means they can keep collecting “pledges” instead of “paid content”.

I bet that has some tax purposes.

You are not connected to a grid, by having electrodes measure potential differences in your brain. If the chip (outside of your brain) were to malfunction, then the interface would simply no longer work. big deal. you replace it.

Again, wtf do you think a brain inplant is?

Not how a brain implant works.

If I could have direct interface to my devices (write text by thinking it, control video game characters,…) I would get one in a heartbeat.

Sadly it’ll be a while until the tech comes that far and it’ll have strictly medical usecases for quite some time.

Yeah programmers is the obvious one profession, that might largely be an exception. I don’t really know how progress in that profession is tracked or how you integrate newcomers into the team, but I suppose there may not be a huge disadvantage.

Also, your points are all personal ones, which I obviously grant. However, seeing this from an employers side of view, it’s a much harder sale.

The “we’d be more productive”-trope is not only not clearly true, but clearly wrong for most professions. Point and case: https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/be147193-0d32-41f5-9112-400f6e374f07.jpeg

Could be, but the chances of that happening are next to zero and it’d be foolish to assume this is the peak.

Because the largest portion of employees are stuck in job, which they don’t love and for which they won’t give more than the minimum required effort. The minimum required effort becomes less, when there is less supervision.

Productiveness also obviously decreases, when you have to communicate with your colleges via zoom, instead of just speaking to them over the table. Seems like none of you had to work yet, but there are few jobs in which you need almost no communication and cooperation with coworkers.

Also most jobs require walking through the building (even if you sit behind a computer most of the day), because pretty much every company has a portion of its business that can’t be digitized. Can’t go down into the storage hall of a carrier firm to fix workers messing up the labeling, when you are working from home.

This will definitely change though. As LLMs get better and develop new emergent properties, the gap between a human written story and an ai generated one will inevitably diminish.

Of course you will still need to provide a detailed and concrete input, so that the model can provide you with the most accurate result.

I feel like many people subscribe to a sort of human superiority complex, that is unjustified and which will quite certainly get stomped in the coming decades.

Every time redditors defend work from home: “we’d be sooo productive”

Every time redditors talk about work from home in the context of job search: “it’s soo relaxed, no ones constantly looking over your shoulder to check whether you are working. You can easily take gaming breaks”

Y’all are a walking meme

Schwachsinn. Der Klimawandel wird seit Jahren immer mehr zum hot topic. Das einzige das die Clowns bewirken, ist das Ganze ins Lächerliche zu ziehen.

Und das Phänomen ist nicht auf meinen Vater begrenzt. Müsste eigentlich jeder vielfach in seinem Umfeld bemerken. Wenn das bei dir nicht der Fall sein sollte (bezweifle ich), lies Youtube Kommentare unter Videos zu der Thematik. Das Einzige das Extremismus bewirken kann, ist weiteren Extremismus auf der anderen Seite zu züchten.

Du kannst nicht ernsthaft glauben, dass es ne nennenswerte Anzahl an Menschen gibt, die das sehen und sich denken “omg, diese Studenten meinens aber richtig ernst. Vielleicht sollte ich meine Einstellung zu dem Thema noch mal überdenken”… lol

Die Ziele sind gut, aber so selten dämlich wie die Straßenkleber es sind, muss man erst mal sein.

Glaub kaum was anderes hat dem public image vom Klimawandel so sehr geschadet wie die Idioten.

Die geben der Politik und Klimagegnern einen gemeinsamen Angriffspunkt. Durch ihr Negativbeispiel, hüpft jeder der sich vielleicht endlich überzeugen lassen hätte, dass der Klimawandel ernstzunehmen ist, wieder zurück auf die andere Seite vom Zaun (z.b. mein Vater).

Gehören eingesperrt m.m.n.

Because there is no conscious force guiding it

Eine Unterlassungserklärung ist reine Einschüchterung. Was glaubst du geht in deinem Kopf vor, wenn du nen Brief von Top Anwälten kriegst wo drin steht “Hör auf oder bereit dich drauf vor nen Haufen Geld zu zahlen.”

Was fürn cope du da abziehst. Versetz dich halt mal in die Lage von so ner Person. Du willst irgendwie was machen, aber halt auch kein rotes Fadenkreuz auf deine Stirn malen. Selbst wenn du im ersten Moment was gegen die Person ausrichten willst, indem du anonym zur Presse gehst und hoffst, dass das eine Auswirkung hat, kanns später doch sein, dass du dich nicht weiter aus dem Fenster lehnen willst, wenns dann heißt “Vor Gericht auftanzen und deine gesamte Existenz riskieren”.

Are you actually bots? I can’t believe you would suggest either chrome or bing if privacy is a concern to you. It’s firefox and duckduckgo all day, every day…

And acting like there are no upsides is delusional. Of course there are upsides, or it wouldn’t have happened. The downsides always outweigh the upsides of course.
