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&

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

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 con

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

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 ha

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 d

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
