  • Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back

    Jump

  • I lived through the dotcom hype cycle, the 5G cycle, the crypto cycle, etc. The useful (boring!) bits of technology remain and something new and shiny becomes the target of hype and speculation a few years later. Nothing new really.

  • Yeah the AI hype levels are insane, but at the same time I think there is some interesting and actually useful technology there. That's my 2c anyway.

    The search thing is specific to internal data sets btw. Anyone who has used intranet search engines at large companies would probably relate just how terrible they are. Much worse than Google is at searching the internet.

  • Sure, you can't trust LLMs and just copy-paste whatever comes out of it. But it's very effective as a way to find something in very large mixed datasets when you may not know which exact keywords to use for a traditional search engine.

  • Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology. But being able to ask in natural language "why is something the way it is" and it returns references to code, bugs, and documentation along with a small summary is pretty cool. It works better than any of the half-baked corporate search engines I've used before. Is this not "knowledge retrieval"? In any case I can see the utility.

  • AI can be a useful tool and I think it will slowly become more common in the workplace, for example it can be very convenient for knowledge retrieval, but it's laughable to think that it can replace humans. I'd wager any time "AI" can replace a human the job could've already been automated through other means.

  • What home-cooked meal do you frequently make and still enjoy?

  • That sounds delicious, and pretty healthy too. Thanks for sharing.

  • Unhappy with the recently lost file upload feature in the Nextcloud app for Android? So are we. Let us explain. - Nextcloud

  • I've been looking at possible phone options too. There are several degoogled Android options but it's still Android of course. And switching to a Linux phone seems like it would be really limiting without access to Android/iOS apps. Do Linux phone users just use the browser to replace all those apps? I guess it could work, though it seems less ergonomic.

  • I don't have an Android phone currently but I thought I'd check on iOS and, yep, Google Drive has access to all files. Well that's a bit hypocritical.

  • Good ol' Sriracha because of its versatility. It goes well with so many foods.

  • Fascism will surely be defeated by "slowing the nomination process". Well, I guess it's something. Sigh.

    What drug do you wish you were rich in?

    Jump

  • Some kind of insanely expensive medicine which saves lives so I can give it away. It'd be very rewarding and I don't need anything else anyway.

  • That's probably just mail that lands in your spam folder without being entirely blocked. According to Microsoft and Google approximately 99% of incoming spam (of the ~160 billion spam emails sent per day) never even reaches their users mailboxes. I assume that's roughly standard across email providers. I am concerned comparably sophisticated filtering may become necessary on the Fediverse eventually.

  • Usernames using randomized nonsense

    Jump

  • I've been using Fedi for a long time and from the very beginning I've been afraid of spam and bots ruining it, at least temporarily. Spam is still a problem with e-mail, and it's been around for 40 years and they've developed very sophisticated anti-spam mitigations for it.
