Is that a win for Google, though? They make most of their money from AdSense, because websites want to display ads. If people aren’t clicking through to websites from their search results, that seems like fewer opportunities to display ads, reducing the viability of AdSense.

The barely-disguised vitriol in this article is disgusting. Hope “vanished?” Fuck off, CNN. Mamdani represents hope.

The name is actually set in a law, hence this lawsuit: https://washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/new-lawsuit-challenges-illegal-renaming-of-the-kennedy-center/

Hmmm. The NVMe standard has existed since 2011, and Samsung released their first commercially-available drive with it in 2013. So Microsoft has had at least 12 years to make nvmedisk.sys the standard driver for these disks.

Unless you know your history and recognize that every single time one of these fantasies takes over the economy, the failure to actually, y’know, be a profitable business ultimately dooms it.

I wonder what it’s like being an investor in one of these companies. You’re watching them shovel mountains of money into the AI furnace, with literally no profit to show for it, but the stock keeps going up. What’s your “get out before the whole thing collapses” number? I mean, there must be some voice at the back of your mind going, “This is unsustainable.”

Tech bros and their sycophants have started saying things like “the old rules don’t apply anymore.” That also happened in 2007-2008. That also happened just before the dotcom bubble burst. That happens before every pie-in-the-sky idea that takes over the economy but has no actual plan for profitability finally burns out.

So what’s your get-out number, investor guys?

You use his work and derivatives of it every day.

If I won that, my very first thought would be, “I have to get rid of most of this as soon as humanly possible.”

His main mistake is that the child in question is Eric.

Then once everyone subscribes to that store, change it so there is AI slop in it anyway, just in a “limited form,” and you have to raise your subscription to the “Premium Plus” model to get rid of it.

He’s in Australia. It was already the 15th there when he posted that, but the person you’re responding to isn’t in Australia and the blog they copied and pasted from probably compensated for time zones.

Edit: Or it’s a typo from a stressed and frantic person.

But it’s well in line with their other traditional focus: Bribery and corruption

True. So in six months, the market will be flooded with cheap, barely-used “AI” server hardware no one wants, and RAM for PCs will still be stupid expensive, because we live in the stupidest timeline.

In six months, the market will be absolutely flooded with cheap barely-used RAM.

We have. Every day. Whether we want to or not.

It feels like that fucking asshole has been raping our minds for years.

A software developer found out that the failing company they’re at, which was winding down for business reasons, decided to try becoming a zombie company by replacing its software stack (and employees) with a vibe-coded SaaS piece of garbage that’s broken in dozens of ways.

Not really. I’m using Copilot for my job because I’m required to, but I limit it to creating basic scripts that accomplish very specific tasks, which it’s okay at. I never let it touch my actual codebase.

Every experiment I’ve run to test how it does with real code from a large, production application has failed miserably. It introduces mocks, it duplicates stuff everywhere, it fakes shit when real APIs are available… I have no fucking idea how these “AI” companies have managed to convince so many businesses that producing catastrophically shitty code very quickly is a good thing.

There is exactly one situation in which it sort of makes sense: Copilot integrated with VS Code, running repo-specific commands like yarn build, with direct human oversight.

That’s it. That’s the only situation.

mind horse blowing.

It was right there.

You do know you can use AD with Linux, don’t you?
