Article is android specific, does this apply to iOS too?

Somehow makes me think of bugs

The sounds of long running appliances in the background like a dishwasher, or clothes dryer.

Look if you want to know why we’re spending money on detaining a tourist for longer than their planned leave date, take particular note of the profit motive hinted at in the article when they mention she’s being held by a private contractor…

We often say cruelty is the point, but it isn’t really… Profit is the point, and cruelty just happens to be cheaper than humanity.

Be still my heart

Because a ton of people have staked their careers, companies, and investments on it, and they’re better off riding a hype bubble than admitting the emperor has no clothes.

Agreed, it’s not completely devoid of value, but it’s definitely not saving me any super meaningful time.

There’s some labor efficiency but I would be really surprised if it even got to an hour a week in productivity gains.

I have copilot at work and honestly it’s not worth the price.

The number of times it has created grossly inaccurate meeting notes or summary items basically means I can’t trust it to be shared with someone who wasn’t there, so it’s mostly just there as a roll the dice memory jogger for participants.

The components embedded in office apps like PowerPoint are absolutely useless, and that’s where I really wanted it to help.

Welles, the ingredients you got bake the cake you get.

This is the buried lede that’s really concerning I think.

Their goal is to create AI agents that are indistinguishable from humans and capable of convincing people to hold certain positions.

Some time in the future all online discourse may be just a giant AI fueled tool sold to the highest bidders to manufacture consent.

One of the things I love about my Lightning is that it doesn’t look like a fucking cybertruck

This is totally me, my daughter, and my nephew with Pokemon.

Brilliant!!! This is how we can criminalize failing to buy a newer vehicle!

None here, had never thought about that. Now I feel lonely.

Some days half my feed is PugJesus lol

Yes I agree, you make some really valuable points here that I don’t disagree with. There’s a bit of an art to this and it is certainly not a realistic expectation that someone should be universally capable. Somewhere in that gray space between universally capable and walking hr incident is where we all fall.

Maybe an alternate perspective, but I do a lot of interviews for technical roles like developers, product owners, architects, etc.

There’s often a perception that the role can be done isolated at a desk grinding on tasks, but that is often not the case. It’s easy to find people who will do task work, but really hard to find people who are capable communicators and empathizers with the people they will be working with. At the end of the day, we’re trying to fill the roles with someone who we can trust alone in a room with a customer, and not someone who will be alone in a room doing tasks.
