  • Not just tech bros. The execs at the company I work for were talking as early as 2025 about trying to get "LLM-optimized" search results, meaning we need to be in the training data and be at the top of the AI overview. It's just SEO bullshit all over again. You don't need big scary Russia to poison AI, our capitalist class will do it eagerly.

  • Big Companies Are Starting to Hire Again, Defying Predictions of AI Wipeout

    Jump

  • speaking from experience, this is a very soul-crushing way of gaining "experience" to find a job, because the hiring manager will probably have no clue what it is or assume it's BS, and will still just care more about job experience.

  • Codeberg bans vibe coded projects

    Jump

  • Hell yeah. Though I do always wonder if such entities mark themselves as targets for AI scraping. For instance, Wikipedia is also committed to banning slop articles. But that just means for any AI scraper it just becomes a reliable source of quality training data. So Wikipedia volunteers have to expend a lot of time and resources determining if something is slop and getting rid of it, all so that the slop trainers can come in and create the next version of the slop engine used to spam Wikipedia...

    Anyway... whatever. Good for Codeberg!

  • In Virginia during the fifa World Cup there are a lot of pro data center ads funded by a group that was created for this purpose called Virginia Connects.

    It’s the usual shitbags lying to the public to make it sound like data centers are good

  • I used to be able to browse the web happily with JS disabled. It started to get worse about 10 years ago and really bad about 6 years ago and EXTREMELY bad over the past year or two.

    And I get it, it’s because of all the scrapers constantly fucking everything up and needing to be blocked. But still. The internet is unusable. All so the likes of Gemini or Claude or Deepseek can generate unlimited amounts of spam and slop.

    But I like your take. You're right. Software should linearly get bloated and slower as a function based on time.

  • Why? Were we incapable of using computers 10-14 years ago when 2-8gb were standard? 16 gigabyte computer to log into email, instagram, and facebook. Give me a break.

    Apple Was Caught Off Guard by MacBook Neo's "Off the Charts" Demand

    Jump

  • I walked into a Best Buy last fall just to kind of browse the computers on offer. The sales rep recommended a laptop (Asus, I think) with 16gb of RAM, saying he actually even got his aunt one of the same model he was recommending to me.

    That's insane. What the fuck is going on in these big tech companies that people are recommending 16gb of RAM for aunties and normies?

    Rhetorical question, the answers are: mega-reliance on webviews, every mid-level PM having to ship "features" to justify their position and to climb the corporate ladder, and every UI designer getting the brain-sickness that's rounded-corners and animations everywhere, while some VP of product insisting on more ads and user-tracking. Add "agentic" aka slop coding to cap a decade of learn-2-code bootcamp 2nd-rate programmers who vigorously studied Cracking the Coding Interview without properly understanding the fundamentals... and voila!

    That's the splendid thing about the Neo. Apple is saying ok, we know it's only 8GB of RAM, but through the service life of the laptop we can ensure that that will give you a good desktop experience.
