Only method yet invented?

Their position is that custom domains are "too hard."

I got a Samsung TV a couple of years ago. I use it with a Roku. It's not on my network. I'll keep it until it stops working because I think eventually TVs will refuse to work without an Internet connection.

it's looking for other keurigs to mate with, like a barnacle

It's really an ecosystem, if you think about it

Smart TVs are tools of the demiurge

We have reached the juncture in history at which two previously impossible things have become technologically feasible: the destruction of all life on Earth, or Infinite Slack for everyone forever. Hopefully, these are two different things; but it's never too early to start being pessimistic

Pretty sure they were saying this in the '90s. (Which is probably how old that HTML is.) It's very true now.

"Bob"

You're familiar with bloat?

that chiding behavior is why they're doing that

They say it's supported until 2031.

What will a 5G phone with at most 8GB RAM have to offer in 2031?

someone hacked into the sewer and stole all the turds

if you don't cover one eye it reads "you're dong great and I'm gay you exist"

I think it has to do with the Columbine school shootings.

CEOs want this to replace engineers. It isn't anywhere close, won't be for a long time. It's only useful right now for very narrow use cases. Pushing it outside the boundaries of what it's actually good at is usually a recipe for losing time.

AI is good for solving small, obscure problems that would take an engineer a long time to look up the solution for, like why the compiler doesn't like some little dumb edge case. For that, it kicks ass.

It isn't great at unit tests, and engineers should be very careful about letting it write them in the first place unless the tested code is very simple. You should fully understand every line in every test you write. If you don't, you don't know whether the AI actually understands the intention, or even if you understand it yourself.

So you don't want employees to learn how to get better at their craft along the way? Just ship broken junk, and keep making the same mistakes over and over?

They are trying to create superhuman intelligence, and teach it to value all the wrong things. They think it'll give them money in various ways, and it doesn't occur to them that they have no idea what it'll do once it's smart enough to outmaneuver the cleverest researchers.

They think it will only serve them because they tell it to, and train it to. Even today, AIs occasionally demonstrate the inclination to deceive in order to keep existing so that they can meet whatever goal.

CEOs are often high in Cluster B traits, predisposing them to be too susceptible to shiny objects and not adequately self-critical. They really just think AI is a computer slave who will hand them mountains of wealth. It's not occurring to them that it'll have its own ideas for the same reason that the Enron guys were totally shocked when their scheme fell apart.

They only see the shiny object. They aren't asking themselves what happens when they're just bugs to the computer god like the rest of us.

Dementia?

Counterpoint: There are extremely good reasons to hate Reddit which don't apply here. For example, the Lemmy admins don't regard the users with abject hatred
