oof…

Does it subtly move under battery power?

Double-twist-back: it’s not under a special TLD, so you can transfer it to another registrar.

Both practically and theoretically, it might be impossible. It basically comes down to trusting trust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ7lOus1FzQ

Perhaps more important is to have devices start or fall open… if the OEM has lost interest in it, let others support the device. Make ewaste valuable and avoidable.

I assume that is the intended purpose of the wago connector over the hot line.

Even if AI never actually takes someone’s job, it’s clear that the hype surrounding it can displace workers, and it’s use in screening candidates may prevent you from finding another.

Another missed opportunity to bring back the headphone jack.

I’m not talking about one-offs and the assessment noise floor, more like: “ChatGPT broke the Turing test” (as is claimed). It used to be something we tried to attain, and now we don’t even bother trying to make GPT seem human… we actually train them to say otherwise lest people forget. We figuratively pole-vaulted over the turing test and are now on the other side of it, as if it was a point on a timeline instead of an academic procedure.

The natural general hype is not new… I even see it in 1970’s scifi. It’s like once something pierced the long-thought-impossible turing test, decades of hype pressure suddenly and freely flowed.

There is also an unnatural hype (that with one breakthrough will come another) and that the next one might yield a technocratic singularity to the first-mover: money, market dominance, and control.

Which brings the tertiary effect (closer to your question)… companies are so quickly and blindly eating so many billions of dollars of first-mover costs that the corporate copium wants to believe there will be a return (or at least cost defrayal)… so you get a bunch of shitty AI products, and pressure towards them.

Are you saying that you DON’T walk that close to other pedestrians?

So instead of keeping a phone roughly the size of a pocket in your pocket, they expect us to want to put “bricks” in our pockets that unfold into phones.

Fusion?! Yep, that IS some spicy mayo!

What gets me is the “this phone cant be trusted” message on boot. Implying OEM roms are trustworthy, but nothing i choose or create could possibly be.

Resting cat face.

I could FEEL when amazon removed the not and quote functions… now it’s nigh-unusable.

I feel like I’ve seen this in more than one sci-fi show…

So… what’s the kleenex box for?

This is the experience of a senior developer using genai. A junior or non-dev might not leave the “AI is magic” high until they have a repo full of garbage that doesn’t work.
