Technology@lemmy.world•Linus Torvalds tells AI haters to fork off: Linux supremo says contributors opposed to AI use can 'just walk away'English
534·13 days agoI believe most people’s problem with AI comes from the potentially massive financial bubble and economical damage to come from over-adoption of the technology where it should not be used.
Many people, like Torvalds, know that AI is useful for certain things when used responsibly. Low level programming is one of the best places for it. You’re not solving business problems. These are usually optimization and security problems with verifiable outcomes(ex AI finds bug, you can actually confirm bug exists).
Unfortunately the ease of which you can produce crap with AI causes big problems for everyone trying to actually improve things.

Games@lemmy.world•After laying off thousands, Ubisoft says losing "key talents and skills" is a big danger for the companyEnglish
16·15 days agoLmao Ubisoft is unbelievably fucked. I see full shutdown or sale within 2 years.
To me that’s always been the point of the show.
Take some real world thing and push it to the point of being dystopian.
In the “Facebook likes” one, you can make a connection to social credit systems IRL.
The explanation is applying a “slippery slope” fallacy for pretty much every single concept.

Technology@lemmy.world•You paid me, a long-time Linux user, to use Windows 11 exclusively for a month: here’s how it wentEnglish

Absolutely sucks. I hate it so much. You can’t do anything with the computer.

Technology@lemmy.world•Zuckerberg Admits That AI Is Not Working Out the Way He ImaginedEnglish
10·20 days agoI listened to a podcast with a couple smart mathematicians talking about AI recently and this rings true based off what I heard them discuss.
They hypothesized that only verifiable domains can really see advances due to AI. So mathematics, physics, a load of the other sciences, and medical research. Even programming, as long as you have a pre-designed solution.
But for problems where you can’t look at a solution and say “yeah, that’s an optimal solution or close to it”, ie basically any business problem; they are much less useful, a big reason being what you mentioned in your comment.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•This guy managed the movie theater I worked at in high school.

That’s the point OP is making. Nobody is dressing up.

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve open source the Steam Machine e-ink screen so you can make your ownEnglish
45·25 days agoReally cool of valve to do this and include a full tutorial.
Just about any other company would keep it closed and sell the accessory with proprietary software; then if that was not commercially viable, would just not release anything at all.
I would kill to get a cubicle like this instead of the soul crushing open office we have today.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI Poop Analysis App Offers to Sell Database of Its UsersEnglish
51·2 months agoI mean, this is why you read the terms and conditions.
If the app was completely free, I feel that personal data tradeoff is likely worth it for a lot of these users. Especially if properly anonymized.
It’s because in any higher level math these rules aren’t needed. Everyone just uses brackets(and mathematical notation) to clearly define an order of operations. There’s no confusion as you’ll never see something potentially ambiguous like “x * y / z / a” .
And even if you did, the division operators would likely be horizontal lines to make it clear what is being divided.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that nobody is really paying attention to but should?
0·2 months agoReligion/fake beliefs driving real decisions is a huge part of it too.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI coders are carrying half-open laptopsEnglish
17·3 months agoThis was one of the cringiest articles I have ever read.
There is no way this happened lmao.
I lost it at “sorry, I’m using Claude”.
Additionally, just “knowing how to code” has never been an actual ticket to success.
Software engineers are hired to solve problems, not write code. If you can write code but can’t solve problems and create innovative solutions you’re no better than a monkey.
