Good thing that hype always delivers.

Nerds still are smarter than us.

Unfortunately a cult of managers has arisen to rule over the nerds and they hype with an iron fist.

But what happened to the narrator at the end?

As usual with headlines involving either AI or Adobe,

Meh

I hate how this is phrased as "redundancies". IGN literally JUST bought these outlets, they haven't had time to dig into and examine the organizations they acquired; it's just straight into the Corpo playbook of "lay people off and let the dust settle where it may".

These are people, not "redundancies". They contributed in the old organization, and they could contribute in the new, but they never even got the chance.

Vaguely human-like

Always have been, apparently

Pffft, joke's on you, I read that in less than 1 second

Boycott is a strong word, but I know that I and many, many others decided not to purchase Disco Elysium based on how all that drama went down. And I know I'll never buy HiFi Rush after the way Microsoft closed that studio while simultaneously lamenting how they wish they had more games like that, because I don't want to reward bad behaviour.

Same reason I haven't bought anything from EA in a decade, and I'm really on the fence about supporting Ubisoft at this point too.

I'm 4hrs in and it's been a very rewarding experience so far! More heart than the last Assassin's Creed I played, which I don't even remember which one it was

Great deal. Thanks, marketing!

So, the more drunk you are, the more ethical it is.

Good to know

Oh, just what Loblaws needs right now, more good press

"The greatest overriding challenge Canada now faces is that for ten years incomes have stagnated.”

Yeah, try 40 years actually.

Yeah, this has definitely happened before, we just don't hear about it in the news. I am personally aware of a Canadian non-profit whose Google accounts were nuked with no notice or explanation last year, leading to massive disruptions for 150 staff and even more clients. They never found out why, and had to restore from backups onto a brand new Google business account

Yup, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine theme song as my alarm, 5 years and counting

This helps nobody, and whoever thinks it's a good idea needs better time management skills.

Most of the VPs in my local Corpo are all politicians. They speak in buzzwords and value hearing themselves speak over hearing any feedback from people lower than them in the hierarchy. The disconnection between upper management and everyone else is greater than it's ever been and it's only getting worse.

I'm already amazing at emails and summaries, I can write my own code but rarely need to outside my job, I don't have a use case for translation, I don't use my current phone assistant and can't see myself using a "true" virtual assistant.

Got any better scenarios? Cuz all those use cases fill me with apathy.

May I inquire what you think we'll be using it for?
