Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango!

  • Bosses Are Becoming Obsessed With AI, Using It to Make Every Decision, Barraging Their Employees With Nonsensical ChatGPT Directives, and Even Asking It Who to Fire

  • If only there was a whole department at schools that was made for exactly this... I heard they used to have one way back in the olden days. What would it be called? God the art of naming things is so difficult!

    (Seriously, this is what happens when you defund the arts programs in education, you end up with teachers who are not trained in art doing their best... and their best is really really bad)

  • Like how Ford just had to hire back all their old greybeard engineers after the AI was not actually up to snuff (shocker).

  • Isn't this enough proof that these chucklefucks are a drain on company resources and time and the FIRST thing to replace AI with is the bosses so workers can organize collectively while the AI helps them stay organized without the AI being in control.

    I mean, I guess that would make too much sense.

    Genuinely though, if the first thing they do with AI is outsource their own decision making, isn't it just rock solid evidence that these people are useless at their fucking jobs to begin with? They aren't even making the decisions anymore, the AI is. Let's cut out the middleman, which is all a boss is now if AI is running the show. I mean, it's what they did with all the junior developers, because they had forced the juniors into using AI and then asked themselves "why not cut out the middleman." And they hadn't even considered that maybe the cost of AI would outpace the cost of an employee. How the fuck are these short term thinking idiots in fucking charge anyway? A lot of bosses are just fucking charlatans.

    EDIT: Clarified first sentence.

  • Ad-free streaming is a luxury now

  • Apple has always banned you from sideloading anything on an iPhone and now Google is following suit. Soon Google will make sidelong a giant pain in the ass and only available to "developers" with the reason being to scare normal people into thinking doing things how they are done now is "too dangerous" and that they need to nanny us and not give us full control of our devices.

    Microsoft is still desperately trying to shove everyone onto their Microsoft store and their "universal" appx bullshit or whatever. Once enough people have been switched over, its game over for traditional executables.

    For context the Microsoft Store came out in 2012 and was a big reason why Valve went all-in on Linux because they could see what Microsoft's long term goal was here from a mile away.

    It's been 13 years of slow build up to this.

    You are the frog in the slowly boiling pot.

    I wish they'd go bankrupt but they will be fine off of Unreal royalties alone.

    Ok so I actually just really love bad movies, that's the thing. I could be on this thread all day.

  • Some movies are just good fun, and Nicolas Cage is frankly in a lot of those kind of flicks. Con Air is up there, too.
