Products are so desperate to integrate #ai they have forsaken any kind of user research to gauge the demand of these features. #vscode has gone a step further and would never assume their chatbot sidebar would need a "close" button.


Both DoorDash and UberEats are now including AI generated menu item descriptions. Probably something to be aware of if you have food allergies. 😐 #AI #UberEats #DoorDash #fuckAI



In a private #Github organization, in a private repo filled with NDA code, Github decided that to automatically start reviewing that code using Copilot.

Mind you, Copilot is disabled for this organization.

Could we please just fucking not ?! Not even mentioning the fact that the Github organization didn't enabled this, there is no data policy to be found in sight. I have no clue what Copilot does with the data after it "reviewed" the code and I could potentially be breaking the signed NDA.

A very legitimate well-done to Canada for being one of the least suckered into AI garbage in the world!

"“We’re not seeing that literacy that we would like to see when we compare ourselves to our global peers, and there’s some reluctance around trusting AI and really embedding it in how we perform our day-to-day work and how we work,” said Terril."

Excellent news.

China installs more solar in 1 month than the total energy the US uses

China installed its highest solar power capacity for a single month in May.

back-of-the-envelope calculations, 71 GW is more power than the entire US uses (on average). This is why our electricity is, on average, 2.5-3 times more expensive. This will lead to advantages in AI, production, etc. Cheap energy = cheap everything else.

Using Gemini to write me a script to fix a Python error I was encountering took me about an hour. Writing the script myself would have taken me about an hour (I have to look up the syntax for tar and invoke-url and friends every single time). However, as a lazy programmer, Gemini's code is actually better. I wouldn't have bothered with any error checking, and I would have hard coded all the paths I needed. So I guess in this case, AI wins. The entirely #AI generated script, if you're curious: share.interfree.ca/app/open/5WidkTfzuPp-EsRM6XcBvpG-UWbmvCrW28H-tmjf28qCYjH?view=1

I (and many others) are convinced that the #AI hype bubble is gonna burst at some point, but I haven't seen many talk about what actually happens when it does?

So, here's my prediction for just that.

'Crime-predicting' tech leads to more over-policing of Black, racialised, lower income and migrant communities.

It automates unjust stop and searches, harassment, handcuffing and use of force.

Oops! AI did it again... you're not that innocent.

Nectar, a 'crime-predicting' system developed with #Palantir, could be rolled out nationally after a pilot with Bedfordshire police (UK).

Data such as race, sex life, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs and health are used to 'predict' criminality so people can be targeted for #surveillance.

U juniora i Codexu mam za sebou dost ukolu na normalizaci. 1 normo-ukol je priblizne 4h casu => 1068 Kc.

Codex me stoji ve VC cenach 5219 Kc mesicne.

S Codexem jsem odbavil 175 produkcnich normo-ukolu => 1 ukol ~ 30 Kc.

Kdybych mel stejnou mesicni davku odbavit juniory stali by me 186900 Kc.

Jedina vyhoda juniornich vyvojaru je preciznost. Vsechno ostatni bere Codex. Coz je dost smutne a jestli AI vyrazne nezdrazi, tak to bude budouci trh dost bolet.

Od minuleho ctvrtka si delam reflexi prace s juniornimi vyvojari vs Codex. Nakousli jsme to s kolegou z Kalkulacky.

Rok pracuju s juniornim vyvojarem (placenym) a mesic s Codexem.

TL;DR: Codex mi dokaze juniora nejenom kompletne nahradit, ale za soucasne VC dumpingove ceny je 36x efektivnejsi.

Vsechno delam komentari v kodu, prompt je jenom "najdi koment TODO: Agent - neco a udelej ho." Muj Linear je vyhledavani TODO: v codebase.

🤔 #"ComputerScience major "has one of the highest unemployment rates." "Despite computer science being ranked as number one by the Princeton Review for #college majors, the #tech industry may not be living up to #graduates' expectations." "On the other hand, majors like nutrition sciences, construction services and civil engineering had some of the lowest unemployment rates, hovering between 1 percent to as low as 0.4 percent." #AI newsweek.com/computer-science-…

An r/me_irlgbt moderator banned me, and is now accusing me of being an A.I. … … … because I use fucking emdashes and ellipses.

🚀 Thanks for all the feedback on my German post about AI & critical thinking! I’ve just published the English version: »AI makes us humans unlearn how to think — and we mistake it for progress.«

If you care about culture, education, and how convenience can quietly erode our judgement, give it a read and let me know what you think. 👇

If you use Telegram, now’s probably a good time to stop.

Musk has just signed a one-year partnership with Telegram to integrate his AI Grok into the message app.

xAI will invest $300 million, cash and equity, and share 50% of Grok subscription revenue.

I chatted with @bagder about #Curl and the recent #AI happenings

It's always fun talking to Daniel, and I think there's a lot of good ideas in this one, especially on how to approach AI fueled contributions that aren't slop. And even suggestions on how to deal with slop contributions :)

Seen many blind people advocating for Audible's AI narration instead of having narrators they don't like record the audiobook and its takes like this that make me super ashamed of some in my own community. I can't even think of what to call these people.

The reasoning is that an AI voice won't be busy or expensive so we can get more audiobooks and just... I strongly suspect these are Blind people that hate audiobooks and want them gone or otherwise reduced in pop culture. I can't understand the logic otherwise.

Duolingo deletes its TikTok and Instagram posts amid AI backlash 😂

Google NotebookLM is now available for iOS.
VoiceOver users, take note: when opening the app, audio will route to the earpiece at reduced volume. To fix this, simply move focus away from the app and then back to it.
