> It only signals to me that they have other priorities

Yes, priorities other than their business.

Source?

Using AI to make a sign is likely a pretty good indicator as to the effort the owner puts into other aspects of their business.

Can anyone comment on if this is how larger tech companies are operating now? Not AI-only companies like Anthropic or OpenAI, but companies like Meta, Stripe, Google, Airbnb, etc.

I see this strategy evangelized a lot on LinkedIn, but it's 100% of the time posted by folks with titles like "AI Native Innovator" who work for themselves or no-name startups.

Z means Zero Time (+00:00). They're UTC timestamps

I would hope so

Oh hey, that's the same percentage as the new-hire equity grant for most SWE roles nowadays!

Not really. More like the modern equivalent of "I don't watch Fox News."

AI backlash is not because of "high variance"...

Is your comment meant to be making fun of the people who think AI is doing no harm?

The world is considerably worse because of AI than the effects of beer and cigarettes. No, I'm not joking.

That seems like a wildly different scenario to me. The OP is about a guy who has not committed any crimes. Andrew Tate is a known predator and CSAM peddler, with an active warrant in several countries.

Same thing has happened to grocery stores. The place near me doesn't even staff a single checkout lane after 8pm-- the only option is to use self-checkout. I had a full cart at 9pm a while back and asked an employee if they could help me checkout. She literally laughed before telling me that I had to use self-checkout, or I was out of luck and would need to come back tomorrow.

Partially, yes. Ads are also psychological, and tracked cross-platform. If you see a BMW ad on Facebook, drive by a BMW billboard on the highway, search BMW on Google, and then go buy a BMW, they have ways of fractionally allocating the conversion to the different impressions. It's pretty crazy.

Yeah I'm a bit baffled too... the world is so, so much worse now because of AI.

More scams/spam, lower quality software everywhere, development is no longer fun, many interactions with coworkers are just "have my people talk to your people" behind the scenes, except it's "have my LLM read the huge document your LLM generated". Every business is trying to cut corners by using AI, so customer service sucks, products suck, prices are optimized to be the absolute maximum people will pay regardless of the actual value being provided (including food)...

I've resorted to adding instructions like, "do not insert any comments unless they will be exceptionally useful in clarifying blocks of code for future developers."

Adding it to AGENTS.md seems to do nothing.

Bundled with a revived Streets of SimCity please and thank you

Right but once your traditional IRA is fully rolled over to a 401k, you can take full advantage of backdoor Roth IRA contributions regardless of income.

> Most programming jobs are remote. What's the alternative, exactly?

Maybe in 2021...

Frequency therapies and inflammation reduction activities for ... curing HIV?

Which treatments specifically are you referring to?

Anyone else notice that the things certain people claim to be "not allowed to say" are somehow wedged into every single thread, post, or forum on the internet? If you were actually forbidden from saying it, then I wouldn't have to read it 20 times a day.

I know at least one of those only uses Oracle for internal/HR "cloud" purposes, while their main customer-facing business is on AWS. Not sure about the others, but when I think of a business using "Oracle cloud" I don't interpret it as just their marketing/HR.

They're spending $10 million USD per engineer on LLMs?

The "and" is very important here. Places like Seattle now mandate servers get a real wage. It inexplicably hasn't changed tip culture at all, so now they get regular wages and still complain when someone doesn't tip 20%+ for a takeout order.

> Garbage

It's not just garbage — it's AI slop garbage.

> "you shouldn't be writing code by hand"

That sounds unbelievably moronic as a firm mandate. Are companies actually mandating this?

Friend of a friend went to an ICP show at Saltair... Dressed like a traditional clown (think Bozo the Clown)

Or an unrelated half-naked thirst trap beach selfie. You know, to "drive engagement."

I just went to check-- I have 6 first-degree connections with the phrase "thought leader" in their title. This out of about 800 connections, all of which are people I've met in-person. Some real-world examples:

* "Independent Thought Leader and Consultant"

* "Strategy, Innovation, and Distruptive Technology thought leader in the Hyperscale/Cloud business"

* "AI Thought Leader + Founder at <company name>.ai"

* "C++ expert and agile process thought leader"

When expanded to 2nd degree connections, I get more than 10 pages of results when searching for the phrase "Thought Leader" (in quotes, so it's not a fuzzy search phrase).

If done properly, autocomplete w/ Typescript and string literals should work just fine.
