Don’t try to argue with the lemmy anti-AI crowd, it’s not worth it.

ddg is great :)

I’m curious what you felt the EU should have done differently.

Yep, happened with my wife’s laptop. Fortunately you just follow the instructions and we had a second laptop but I was still sweating bullets.

I still contend that this sort of task is uniquely positioned to show off LLMs. The idea that they’ll turn into agents that can do real-world tasks remains a fantasy. Despite how impressive this is, they’re losing money and have no real path to profitability.

I’m curious. What would it take to change your mind? I’d like to check in with you in two years to see what you think then.

But is it friendly to users? The future is now.

I first tried Ubuntu then switched to pop os and haven’t looked back. Feels great to be free of MS.

I’m sure the community will find something to hate about this as well, since this isn’t an article about an LLM failing at something.

I know at Lemmy we usually don’t read the article title and sure as hell won’t read the actual article, so I’ll just post this here for everyone: nowhere in the article does it say they are laying people off because of AI. It merely states 9000 people will be laid off, and separately MSFT has invested a lot in AI.

A better reframe: huge tech company shifts focus.

Found the daily LLM denial thread.

I can see why Reddit needs to secure the user base. As not accounts proliferate they need to be able to demonstrate verified real users to their advertisers. Unfortunately for privacy, this will be widespread, in that case. I’m opting out.

You may need to work on your jokes :)

Have you considered the possibility that, if you have 2k bookmarks, this isn’t necessarily a self-hosting issue, but rather a bookmark hoarding issue :)

Ah you must be the new hire at my firm, welcome!

I think the post is about the state of agentic coders in 10 years, not the present.

So I installed LineageOS recently. Now that I’ve transferred my passwords and account info I’m quite happy. What will happen from here? Will some apps stop working? If not, is there a problem with just continuing to use the phone as is until I need a new phone (security, eg)?

Thank you for taking one for the team.

Students are now prompting the AI to make it sound like a student wrote it, or putting it through an AI detector and changing the parts that are detected as being written by AI (adding typos or weird grammar, say). Even kids who write their own papers have to do the latter sometimes.

Then the student could just ask the AI to simulate a thesis defense and learn answers to the most likely questions.

The funny thing is, they would actually learn the material this way, through a kind of osmosis. I remember writing cheat sheets in college and finding I didn’t need it by the end.

So there are potential use cases, but not if the university doesn’t acknowledge it and continues asking for work that can be simply automated.

Perhaps some people can’t afford it. I have the luxury of paying for weekly therapy but its probably one of my biggest line item expenses.
