if you get one of those you end up in the same place with more steps… you need to hook up a pc (any format), preferably running Linux, so you have full control
She should know, this is exactly what she did to others before resigning reaching just enough days of work to get a golden parachute for life and jumping ship
I hate headlines like this. I’d love to hear the REASONS WHY Plex are doing all of this.
Greed... do you really need 3 more?
Before someone says “the reason is money” we need to ask: do the developers of Jellyfin not use money? Why won’t the same thing just happen to them too?
Plex is a private company wanting money... Jellyfin is a voluteer-drive effort
Before someone says “enshittification,” we need to ask: does this mean Jellyfin will soon have the same problems?
Enshitification happens to privately develop products due to
<checks notes>
greed... Jellyfin is not a private company pushing a product for profit
We all seem to love Jellyfin so I think we need to understand the actual reason why, or this will just continue happening.
I love it when, rarely as it may be since I block ads as much as possible, I get a completely unrelated-to-me ad… it just means they have no clue who I am
It’s more like offering a plumber a room in your house to stay in 24/7 so they can be on-call when you need them.
Again I get your point... but no reasonable plumber would make that mistake.
If I invite the dumbest plumber alive into my home, show him the leaky tub and say "I have to work but do whatever you need"... they would understand the context to mean "do whatever you need to fix the tub"... I doubt they would go make themselves a sandwich, grab a beer from the fridge and invite their buddies for a BBQ at my place and then say "but you said I could do whatever I needed"
I absolutely understand what happened here. The point is there is no benefit to these Agentic AIs because they need to be as supervised as a monkey with a knife... why would I ever want that? let alone need that
This is EXACTLY the YouTube woodworkers dilemma...
TONs of YT channels to show people how to do woodwork would normally showcase $50K worth of equipment to show how to make a cutting board.
The thing is, people with access to such equipment, already know how to make a cutting board and are learning nothing from you... on the other hand, newbies who what to know what is this "sanding" thing they have heard, will not benefit from the vid since they do not have those tools, they'd have crappy manual tools at most.
Therefore, those videos are completely useless for learning... at best, they made for good background noise while people eat their lunches in their cubicles
Absolutely... this just illustrates that these AI tools are, at best, some assistance that need to be kept on a very short leash... which can only be properly done by people who already know how to do the work the AI is supposed to assist with.
I get what you are saying but any reasonable entity would understand that telling someone at the door "come in", does not mean "come in my wife's ass"
Specifically the "without permission" in the title, relates to the fact the AI did not ask about it... it simply took a previously granted right to run commands and ran any/all commands without warning.
If you and I were working on a project together and nothing is working right, I could say "hmm let's start over" and you would know it means "let's start the project from scratch", not "let's wipe the data centre"
That implies the user understands every single code with every single parameters. That’s impossible even for experience programmers
I wouldn't say impossible but I would say it completely defeats the purpose of these agentic AIs
Either I know and understand these commands so well I can safely evaluate them, therefore I really do not need the AI… or, I don't really know them well and therefore I shouldn't use the AI
Don't you need a Graduate degree AND a Post Graduate degree to even be eligible for most PhDs?
