Laughs in a 2002 econohatchback

I mean companies world wide just jumped in the AI bandwagon like a lot of people did with the NFT one. Mostly because AI actually has solid use cases and can make a big difference in broad situations.

Just since people are just slapping AI in everything it's gonna end up being another fad to raise stock prices, like firing people last year.

Let's just hope when all of the hype blows over and the general public thinks of AI as the marketing buzzword that never works quite right we'll keep AI in the things it's actually useful for

Hate to be that guy, but I bet someone somewhere did the math of how much extra profit they can get from people having their device bricked and just getting a new one vs how many of them actually do the warranty claim

But how can we best sell your data to advertisers otherwise?

I'm imagining a world where advertisers have to try to raise engagement from AIs in their ads

I mean, they're required by law to be if the company has stocks

That last part, that's what sandboxie is for

Wait until you try to do something that involves managing child processes

You wanna know the real issue with the world? This right here, society as a whole accepting and promoting a system of measuring a company's worth that by definition will make it fail after getting as much reach as possible. Almost ensuring everything will always be shit

Oh this quarter the company only got 74 billion in revenue instead of the projected 80? Sell everything it's no longer profitable!!! Abandon ship!

Nah but once the put AI on everything bubble bursts companies will have a sour taste on it and won't be so interested in investing into it.

I believe we'll get a lot of good improvements over it but in people's minds AI will be that weird thing that never worked quite right. It'll be another meme like Cortana on windows so it won't drive stock price at all unless you're doing something really cutting edge.

And good luck competing with the tech giants

Well the no CD patch is usually a crack for the game so yeah it kinda makes sense that antivirus software would identify it as such. Most of the time windows even identifies the "threat" as a keygen or a crack after deleting it.

It's pretty normal in the world of piracy

That's all people need to participate in the outrage culture tho

Have you asked if you can't use regular physical mail or walk the papers to an office yourself?

Otherwise you'd be better off finding someone in an office somewhere that still has a working fax machine and offering them a few bucks to send it

I use incognito mode when I want to search something I don't want the algorithm using for recommendations later.

Same with clicking YouTube videos, works like a charm for curating your feed and not having a single click mean you'll be recommended that stuff for the next 6 months

At the end of the day steam is also selling licenses not games. They might be the least diabolical shop around but copyright laws still apply.

this template is special in that it does not have any graphics, it is made exclusively of text symbols

You mean like DOS?

Is the name of your girlfriend mickey by any chance?

I'm not sure if you're serious or not.

At my job they unilaterally decided that we no longer had access to our application logs in any way other than a single company wide grafana with no access control (which means anyone can see anything and seeing the stats and logs of only your stuff is a PITA).

Half the time the relevant log línes straight up don't show up unless you use a explicit search for their content (good luck finding relevant information for an unknown error) and you're extremely limited in how many log línes you can see at once.

Not to mention that none of our applications were designed with this platform in mind so all the logging is done in a legacy way that conforms to the idea of just grepping a log file and there's no way the sponsors will commit to letting us spend weeks adjusting our legacy applications to actually log in a way that is useful for viewing in grafana and not a complete shitshow.

I've worked with a logstash/elastic/kibana stack for years before this job and I can tell you these solutions aren't meant for seeing lines one by one or context searches (where seeing what happened right before and after matters a lot), they're meant for aggregations and analysis.

It's like moving all your stuff from one house to another in a tiny electric car. Sure technically it can be done but that's not it's purpose at all and good luck moving your fridge.

What a nice world you must live in where all your code is perfectly clean, documented and properly tracked.
