'a cancer on society' hyperbole a little? Did a government employee kiss your partner?

this is so funny, even when trying to talk positively about cars you cant help but throw in a 'fuck you, I got mine'. Unions are cool, and good for workers. Enjoy your weekend! Thank a union.

Its a big bank, Im not working on anyones debit account. Me and everyone Ive ever seen here is working on internal tools, nothings going to wipe out anyones savings. Also, yeah, its a bank, I hit the "im going to blow a gasket" line so long okay I cant even remember what things are supposed to be like.

do you think the other big banks arent doing this? Bank jobs are pretty broad, theres a ton of code getting written here.

Major, big big major, not just me either. How is it alarming beyond words? If I said "Im an emt and I just ask the AI everything" now that would be alarming beyond words.

it also assumes humanity will be better off because people can vibe code stuff, which is a massive stretch already.

sorry, no jobs at the staffing agency, those are AI. Feel free to walk into a burger king, show up everyday, and flip those fries for minimum wage until you die. Man up brother, other people make it work. Sleeping on the street, well half the year its not even snowing.

I think having guardrails on your AI to not be able to produce this stuff is good actually. Also, Elon encourages this behavior socially through his posts so yeah he should face consequences.

i think the cybertruck is pretty well known to be crafted poorly, doesnt it always have problems with pieces falling off, or bursting into flames?

its insane that there wasnt any consequence for the metaverse at all. Oh yeah, we built a second life clone based totally around the idea that people want to spend rent money on fake digital real estate. Of course it tanked, no one was brave enough to point out ahead of time how bad an idea it was? And this doesnt hurt their standing, stock price, or marketability at all?

another 'anyone but Java' developer! For me its not even the language or syntax, its the way people code it. Not every line of python ive ever read is gold, but every time i delve into Java code its like the developer was mad, at me specifically.
