Theres always those people who say that it doesn't make sense to make new facilities, but I really dont see chip shortages to stop. With climate change being a thing and supply chain issues popping up more and more, I just dont see an end within the next 10 years. Makes more sense to bring some of that in house.

How do you feel about Video posts on the Threadiverse?

One final note: mastodon/gotosocial complains about lack of metadata:

Which is what I would expect.

So to summarize. Yes its all over the place with descriptions and video data all over the fediverse. It would be nicer if people put something in the description. And if fedi clients can maybe auto-push the description on the video to the post like it occurs on peertube/piefed that would be nice as well.

Interesting. So in the original feed it attempted to pull inthe metadata:

looks like it was not successful. Maybe a different language?

On piefed it was also not successful:

So the metadata didnt show up.

https://kbin.earth/ showed the reposts:

Its all over the place. I can see this being frustrating!

I womder if this is a limitation on the lemmy side. Piefed and mbin(?) And other fediverse services have more info when viewimg videos and pulls in metadata at time of run. Youtube/peertube/raw videos. Users may be assuming the same info is making its way into the community.

Is there a good example somewhere of a blind link i can look at? We can make a comparison and/or comfirm the issue.

I know theres some work being done getting mastodon and peertube more integrated with lemmy/piefed so it may very well become more like the fediverse was envisioned.

Where you sign in one place and interact with everything the way you want to.

I feel you.

Not sure about Meta but Amazon is the worst ! I used to tell them I was not interested, only to have another recruiter a month later cold call me/email at least 3 times a week and just keep going. After the 6(!)th time, I started auto-blocking and auto-filtering their emails. I have hundreds in my mail box over the years. I think they get reciters by the thousands then lay them off after a bit of time.

I hear ya. Ive had to do training at work and its surprising how little training some have in a field. But after a couple of months of training, they are 1000x times faster at doing things. They WANT to do a good job (most of them anyways). but most places ive worked at expect people to be able to do everything while getting paid entry level.

Id love to see the breakdown. I remember seeing some big tech companies that are taking on more liabilities right now and profits are temp down last quarter. At least the BIG companies.

I wonder if its in direct reaction to:

Token price increasing (AI is more expensive than last year)
More AI projects need more human maintenance
More automation means more people that need to maintain said automation
Inflation and computers increasing in price ironically make it more expensive for everything including labor. Which makes margins smaller for companies. Companies that would have made money with less labor costs find themselves paying extensive SaaS/automation/etc... costs.
People using AI may be more expensive because...they use AI on the company dime.

Just a couple of ideas floating in my head. I am kinda neutral to AI in general. Its like a hammer to me just a tool. Good at the small scale stuff but proven pretty terrible on the maintenance side. At work AI got expensive causing management to rethink the AI strategy. Again I may be cherry-picking, but it sure feels like the above is true.

Heh yeah pigeonholing is both good and bad.

I used to do a ton of EDI work and worked with a bunch of 60+ devs working with COBOL. Theres were the term golden handcuffs come into play.
