@ReverendD @SecurityWriter probably had himself a little cry.

One thing I learned, maybe it was this month? State government agencies, some of them, are forcing their employees to use AI stuff so the AI businesses can benefit from government contracts.

A nice lady used AI, and I used my phone to search. I found more stuff than she did.

@unlofl @SecurityWriter this is a good point that's getting me kind of excited about the future of the web. If hardware floods the market because corporations give up on making AI profitable, and internet users are all tired of the shit those corporations have been pulling with it... I bet we're approaching a turning point towards decentralization and community infrastructure

@SecurityWriter

Also, the genius who figures out what to do with all that CPU they are building out will be in a good negotiating position.

@Crovanian @patrick_h_lauke the only downsides I can think of are the ecological downsides of using LLMs, the social implications of letting a technology with oppression built in make all the executive decisions, and extra money going to the shareholders
Then again, considering CEOs tend to have private jets, be white supremacists, and be one of the shareholders... I'm not sure anything would actually change

@SecurityWriter as a Project Manager that means my profession will get a boost because someone has to organize the recovery.

@matthewcroughan @SecurityWriter whew, "Home Buyers" in a privacy policy

@LPerry2 @n_dimension @gparenti @gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter

... you hope.

@SecurityWriter

It’s a new gold rush…

@ramsey @gpshewan I hope you‘re right. I am seeing a lot of frustration with the lack of delivery but at the same time in our org management is doubling down after Claude has been better at delivering and it is hailed as the turning point when it finally is starting to be as good as we need it.
And in some ways it’s true, I still need to do handholding and lay out the design but the coding part is much more reliable. The productivity increase is maybe not 10x though, more like 2-3x.

@JessTheUnstill @gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter

If Argentina can get billions for going fash, better believe tech-bros expect more and better for going all in. Bailouts for me, but not for thee- this is 1000% the most libertarian thing to do.

A soft landing is why AI capital is busy buying up the California Democratic Party and Newsom.

@SecurityWriter but RAM is now triple the price. I would adapt my initial asked salary to the current RAM price. Of course not to future values...
