I also feel this way but I am confused why people would want this. Generating from a prompt is still introducing a human step. Why would anyone want something so basic and bland. Then again, I think about the food industry. Fast food sucks but the predictability is really attractive to a lot of people. People like familiar too. It is interesting to watch it unfold.

Yea that makes sense. Its a huge gap in communication styles. A tech team plus upper management could easily go from 23 to 65. Unfortunately I think it just means that the younger generations have a rough time. They have much less power and influence.

This does not make sense. Who are you talking to and what is your point?

It's possible to have this remote. The communication style of gen z and younger is entirely remote and also for younger millennials. But in a remote setting there has to be complete trust "in the chat". Just like in office you have to be open to allowing communication and ideas to be voiced. You also have to allow for impromptu video calls which can be disruptive but it's the same at a desk in office. I remember having to put up signs "do not disturb" that people promptly ignored. It's the same but different. My opinion is that what is happening now is just an uncomfortable generational shift. There is a very wide age range in the tech workforce because it's not limited by physical ability.

They should also remove all desks and force people to sit directly on the floor. Forget open office plan. The new trend is Minimal Office.

Yea it would be more efficient to have "living pods" essentially little chambers where the employee can sleep in after a long 16 hour day a work. The personal home emits too much energy and waste. It would be better for the employee to just go into the pod, plug in their nutritional tube, and watch netflix for a few hours before falling into an induced asleep at the mandated time as set by their work schedule.

This is what I believe as well. It's an assuming narrative that allows them to say that it wasn't them it was the employee choice.

agreed. this can be optimized by the community. Sometimes, and I'm not saying this happened I am just saying that sometimes engineers have a strong desire to over-engineer and that might be costing money. Also want to add that maybe you can get approved for AWS for startups for example and migrate some compute there.

Can someone prove that the prompts actually do something? Been using it for awhile and I don't notice a difference unless I am asking for a specific answer in a certain way.

I agree that trust is eroding with a certain user demographic. As time moves on, they are competing to win trust with the next generations. Does anyone remember going to a library? Used to be the place to get info. Same thing.

Simply because of the ad :(. It's so cold. I think people are justified to feel that way but it's clinging on to old era Apple. For awhile now apple has lost it's humanity. It's sad but I think it's over and I think it's time for something new.

I get that but then what would the alternative be? I am not saying that there is not an alternative but if you know another way I am curious to hear from you about that.

Imagine that you spent a lot of time helping people and building a community. Then a company encodes this "help" into text format and put it into a book, and makes a lot of money selling the book. In doing so, this company kills the community. You wouldn't be pissed off about that?
