The Church of Chief Executives.
zx8080··on Replaceable but Employed: Automation and the Meaning of Work

No. Send to fight a war. To capture resources.

zx8080··on Replaceable but Employed: Automation and the Meaning of Work
> you replace 6 warehouse workers making $80,000 a year with a fleet of robots and 1 technician earning $200,000 a year

Why not paying the technician $80,000 a year?

zx8080··on Signing TLS handshakes inside a TPM
This is most probably where it's going in less than a year. The recent campaign "Safer with Google" in Chrome hints to this.
zx8080··on QBittorrent breaks out of sandbox to commit crimes
Intention of the AI?
zx8080··on Actively exploited sandbox RCE in all Chromium versions
This sends 2 clear signals:

- for developers: don't report, it's not worth it

- for users: Google does not care about security as it doesn't pay for reporting (enough).

zx8080··on LLMs as a Cognitive Virus
> He didn't need his pen and so wrote more freely (at the apeed of thought).

Probably surprising for some, but it's possible (and pretty usual) to write at the speed of thought with a pen.

zx8080··on GPS glitched across the US by as much as 33 feet
Don't live in the US.
zx8080··on AnkiDroid: Google Play no longer allowing Open Collective donation link

zx8080··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
That's pure marketing. Not off-guard. Profit-maxxing.
zx8080··on Evidence of Fraud in an Influential Study About Procrastination
Harvard, nice.
zx8080··on Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO
Gatekeeping internet and reading every byte unencrypted. Nice business monopoly.
zx8080··on Google Has Removed MV2 Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Including UBO
> No single company should have such unilateral control over the internet and its information.

Cloudflare with their "checking if the site connection is secure" (while being MITM) is another example.

zx8080··on The turbulent AI era is here
It was a war tax. Not to just share it with people.
zx8080··on OpenAI: Migrating to HTTPX2
This could be a breaking change (for some corporate network environments).
zx8080··on The turbulent AI era is here
Anyone seriously trust in the fairytale that the rich and powerful gives 95% of their profit back to customers?

It's not really what they've built their business empires for.

zx8080··on CEO fired developers to make room for AI. Developers create open source AI CEO
Do they have human CEO currently? Just curious.

To stop that! Literally. To stop those services being free.

That's a great news for a few rich wallets and bad for all of us.

> Harvard has more founders

Rich parents/families are the actual founders, via their children. Harvard is because mostly rich can study there (and drop out at will).

zx8080··on There's no reason for software to be slow anymore
It's all now about money extraction from the areas dependant on software, not the sofrware itself.
zx8080··on Codex on AWS bedrock bug causing 10x charges
It depends on who they consider the customers. Shareholders and govt are the customers, not users.

Users is the product.

zx8080··on There's no such thing as a small software team anymore
> but programming is never going back to normal.

Are you telling it's shit now? I'm just curious.
