I’m not holding my breath. We have a Z that insists no one in her generation wants to put up with the 24/7 availability expected from those who want to advance in our industry. Yet I received emails from her over the weekend.

They’re human, same as the rest of us, and will justify all the bad labor hygiene that older generations have.

Meta displayed a chart showing that the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’ ” has declined in the past two years, from twenty-two per cent to seventeen per cent on Facebook, and from eleven per cent to seven per cent on Instagram.

Yeah. By their design. If they would allow user control over what shows up in their feed, mine would prioritize friends’ content. I’m not the one choosing to turn my feed jnto AI slop based on my alleged interest in the topic.

It wouldn’t have been that much work to moderate before the API bullshit ripped community-built moderation tools away.

This was by design. Make moderating more difficult. Claim moderators are failing. Replace with AI that Reddit can control. Replace mods who leave from frustration with hand-selected mods who follow the company line.

Reddit purged their volunteer mod base for exactly this reason. Some company asks them to change moderation to accommodate them, reddit complies without having to deal with pesky, independent human mods who might argue against the censorship.

My company recently released a beta “AI” tool to do similar.

What I’ve found but was 0% surprised by, our documentation has conflicts. It still takes an experienced, knowledgeable person to notice that there’s a conflict, then dive into source documentation to resolve them.

What going to happen is they think they can cheap out on hiring/retaining employees with those abilities.

I would bet a dollar the documentation in nuclear has similar conflicts and similar if not greater experienced human knowledge to resolve them.

I also do auditing/compliance and I would love to be a fly on the wall while they explain the chain of logic and objective evidence that it works leading to offloading tasks to AI.

It actually surprises me to see 46/33. Gut feel, I would have put it closer to 60/20.

Making it even tougher for Frameworks to win a customer like you over, even without 40%+ fuckery in pricing.

This is a hardware startup trying to attract customers away from the likes of Lenova, who has simpler products, a more mature supply chain, and economy-of-scale to their advantage. No way are they pricing to absorb 40%+ with day-to-day swings unless they have to.

I guess for a person who screenshots places they want to go.

90% of my screenshot roll are of horror movies I want to watch. Google will be planning vacations to abandoned houses and Antarctic research stations. Yaaay.
