Whether it was _built_ to be addressed like a person doesn't change the fact that it's _not_ a person and is just a piece of software. A piece of software that is spamming unhelpful and useless comments in a place where _humans_ are meant to collaborate.

> You're saying it's bad because they removed useful information, but then why isn't Anthropic's suggestion of using verbose mode a good solution?

Because reading through hundreds of lines verbose output is not a solution to the problem of "I used to be able to see _at a glance_ what files were being touched and what search patterns were being used but now I can't".

You’re being pedantic. INS was rolled into the homeland security umbrella in the early 2003s. The poster was obviously using an old name.

That exits essentially for aircraft today, albeit not automated. Try flying your little Cessna too close to the capitol mall or any number of sites in the world. You’ll very quickly and very unceremoniously be intercepted by other aircraft with big guns telling you to get the hell out.

So is the argument that only farmers should be able to have a vehicle?

It’s true in the same way that it’s technically true anyone* can buy a football team.

* anyone with a few hundred million in the bank.

Compare the numbers of farmers and ranchers to the rest of the population.

How many recreational users have private land in sufficient quantities?

I find this a very odd and non compelling argument

Just now many people have a) private land and b) private land in sufficient quantity and state that you can actually drive a car on it?

They’ll just move on to the next company that will hire them with a golden parachute.

There’s minimal risk to the decision makers. Meanwhile, every one of us peons is significantly more at risk of losing our jobs whether we could be effectively replaced with these AI tools or not because our own C-level execs decided to drink the snake oil that is the current bubble.

Adopting advertising in almost an inevitably in any tech at this point. I wouldn’t necessarily attribute it to anything they’re seeing in usage - IMO its just the standard “we’re leaving money on the table by not” that we’ve seen time and time again.

The C-levels who jumped on the bandwagon are definitely not going to fall on their swords should it go south. They’ll blame the tech, fire some subordinates, suggest their customers for “not understanding it”, and their shareholders will eat it up as long as they get a pound of flesh.

What percentage of non-IT professionals know what zfs/lvm are let alone how to use them to make snapshots?

Trump won the popular vote in 2024. He lost it in 2016

It doesn’t matter how much lipstick they put on the pig. The foundation is rotten and the everything that comes out of it needs to be treated as suspect.

Clearly in this case the “controls” they have do not work and frankly your comment is a perfect example of how these companies operate - move fast, break things, and accuse anyone trying to reign it in as unknowledgeable or without nuance.

Forgive me, but we’ve seen this play out before time and time again throughout history.

I’m sorry but I’m going to call bullshit on the “nobody knew there could be issues with things this algorithm spits out” when these companies openly brag about training their models on such stable corpuses like…checks notes…Reddit among other things.

These AI companies are throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at _single developers_. There is the wherewithal but there is no will.

Neither soda or McDonald’s are advertising themselves as healthy options suitable as general replacements for a balanced diet. Whereas the AI companies have a plainly stated goal of being able to accomplish virtually any task a human could.

And before you say it: there’s a massive difference between the legalese they put in fine print in their user agreements and mutter under their breath in sales presentations versus what is being shouted from the rooftops every single second of every single day by their collective marketing departments.

You are making the exact argument the tobacco companies made when they were called to account for their nonsense which essentially boiled down to “It’s not our fault people choose to smoke”. This was after they spent decades hiding adverse effects and telling people it was _actually good for them.

To be clear, I am not blaming the tech. I am blaming the people designing it who are well aware of the flaws/dangers but are doing little to nothing to mitigate that because it would affect their bottom line.

And I want those people held accountable for their reckless negligence.

If someone who has serious mental issues walks into a place of business and a real live employee _consistently_ and _repeatedly_ encourages the mental delusions _to the point this mentally ill person kills themselves and another person_ I bet you'd be singing a different tune.

> Also, a company requiring to run Microsoft software is probably also a bad place to work in other regards.

Microsoft being shitty notwithstanding…I think you don’t really grasp just how prevalent Microsoft is in the business world - it is not the indicator you think it is.

It doesn’t take more than a few seconds of thought for me to decide I don’t want the latest LLM slop in creative products. Inasmuch as video games are creative products.

In my experience living here my entire life it’s _far_ more common for a restaurant/ fast food joint to have exclusive deals with one or the other.

That being said there is one popular gas station chain around here that historically sold Coke and Pepsi products in their fountains but in the past decade or so they’ve switched to exclusively Coke products in the fountains (but they still sell bottled Pepsi products)

brand new account...only comment...don't take the bait.

I thought it was well known and generally accepted that the social medial companies push controversial click/rage bait to keep people “engaged”?

Wait you’re telling me the software trained on a corpus of Reddit and Twitter shit posting isn’t effective at dealing with mental health issues?

Shocked. I am completely shocked at this.

The _vast_ majority of book sales are to private individuals, not libraries.

Why use a terminal when you can use punch cards?

There is nothing more permanent in computerlandia than a temporary solution.

It is simply the soft bigotry of low expectations rearing its ugly head…again.

“Well OBVIOUSLY”, says the white knight, “some people are too stupid to understand the context and nuance of a langue like mine English. We just HAVE to adjust it because they won’t understand.”

It says much more about the people pushing such things than it does about the perceived slight.

Is that actually confirmed? That Microsoft is going to allow steam and other third party stores on the new Xbox console?
