  • Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters

  • same wages and less jobs to go around

    If we're lucky. It's more likely to be lower wages. "We don't need to pay experienced programmers anymore, they aren't writing the code after all. We just need cheaper, less skilled people to review the code that is already 99% fine".

    💯 Not about the tech, it's about who is going to use the tech to make life worse for the working class.

  • I don't think there is an LLM in this application. Not all AI tools involve LLM.

  • How much work is it actually to be a Mod in a moderately popular community?

    Jump

  • From my days modding an outdoor hobby subreddit, the only "risk" I saw wasn't direct where I was fearful of being sued or anything.

    We would get posts about missing hikers, if you have info please call/email these personal contact numbers. It was the type of post I was quickest to lock down. I would pin a mod comment telling people with info to contact law enforcement, NOT the poster and definitely NOT to put details on reddit anywhere. It's not unheard of for an abusive person to post a "help me find my loved one victim" request.

    Second most urgent type of post I locked down where the "hey, I found these mushrooms/berries/animal remains on the trail, I can eat them, right?". Sweet baby jeebus, trusting Internet strangers on something like that is almost as bad as trusting an LLM.

  • He still didn't "get away with it". He pleaded no contest to manslaughter charges. No prison sentence doesn't mean no repercussions. It would be great if you had a non-paywalled link and an honest post title.

    Edit: also, still a 2020 event with the court case closing in 2022. Why is this so important here today in 2025?

  • Your headline is a lie. He didn't "get away with it", the investigation is ongoing per the article.

    It's also an article from 2020. Rage bait much?

    Edit: did you just update your post to change the article? Dude.

    I was every time sure that Seedit is the best Reddit alt I'm here to tell you why I have been wrong for so long .

  • Never heard of it. Not gonna look into it because I'm 50/50 on you being affiliated with the app and posting this just to drive clicks.

    Assuming you are legit, best of luck finding an alternate you're happier with.

  • Americans who live near state borders,how do you notice you've crossed the border?

    Jump

  • When I lived in the Midwest one of the clearest signals (aside from the obvious signage) was the college football team swag on cars and in front of houses.

    Jump

  • Been a few years since I lived in Minnesota, do you still see signs for Spotted Cow beer as you cross into WI? I had friends bringing trunks of sixers back and while I would always accept a free craft beer, I didn't understand the hubbub.

  • Why are americans so good at software engineering?

    Jump

  • Could you please provide some examples of the software you have in mind that leads you to believe Americans are uniquely good at it?

  • If we can find information by asking GenAI, who needs the Web?

  • My sister is a teacher and now has her students repeat back to her, "LLMs are not search engines".

  • how far out of your way do you go to help wild animals each day on average?

    Jump

  • Not much, there arent many wild animals around on my typical day.

    I have a spider in the corner of my bathroom that I leave alone.

    I watch squirrels in the front yard, they need nothing from me.

    The front yard is riddled with moles and dying grass. I live in a condo that is responsible for yard care and they aren't doing much about the moles. I don't especially like large, green grass yards so I don't care if they're letting the moles destroy it all. Letting them do their thing.

  • FTC Warns Companies(Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Discord, Meta, Microsoft, Signal, Snap, X and more) Against Censoring or Weakening the Data Security of Americans at the Behest of Foreign Powers

    What LLM do you favor and what does it do well for you?

    Jump

  • We have a few internal to the company so proprietary data doesn't leak into the public. Not one of them can be relied on. I vet it by asking questions about certain procedures I know inside and out (I wrote most of them), and the LLMs can get close but are consistently inaccurate.

    Not a programmer, so no experience with a large use case there.

    The most useful thing I've used it for us breaking thru writers block on dumb things. Just staring at a blank page and unable to get started. So I brain dump into LLM, it gives me a few crappy sentences, I think "I can do better than that", and I write something from scratch.

  • At what (child's) age should parents let go?

    Jump

  • My parents will give advice if I ask for it. It's been that way since I was about 14 or 15. If they tried to treat me like you are describing, especially in public, I would shut it down.

    The only time I can imagine them giving unsolicited advice would be if I were in a romantic relationship they thought was bad. I don't agree with a lot of their perspectives on relationships, but I would at least hear them out. They would have the good sense to do it in private though and would be able to explain their thoughts, no "I don't have to justify myself to you" nonsense.

    I would say they were a little too uninvolved at times, but I would take that over the scenario you are describing with them over involved at 30+.

    What do you love the look of despite it being impractical, uncomfortable, or high maintenance?

    Jump

  • From the very first one I saw in person, the wildly variable steps and gaps between panels was a big "nope". The very long single wiper blade on the windshield also tickled my engineer brain as "nightmare to maintain".

  • Mildly offended I've only gotten one Nicole spam experience to date. What am I, chopped liver?

  • How many people do you have blocked?

    Jump

  • Not that many, just obvious bots/scams. The app I use has user tagging so I can assign a color tag and text tag per user. Red = for me, do not engage and yellow = for me, engage with caution.

    I tend not to block real humans, even the trolls, because often times the responses are interesting to me. I've learned some real facts about my trans peeps here on Lemmy because some people took the time to give informative responses to the community's benefit, despite the question being an obvious troll attempt.

    Some of my tags include yellow for "AI slop spreader" and red for "TERFy troll".
