I hadn't heard of square either. Are they the guys doing squarespace? No idea.
EDIT: Okay, I did hear of CashApp, and it goes without saying that you need an entire lock-in ecosystem and a crypto-gimmick around a fintech product these days.
I would assume that you will only get across a very limited amount of information. If you pack them with details they will zone out, if you can focus on very few arguments something might stick. If you have the background knowledge to bring up points as needed, that's great of course.
If I would try to sway some business people, I'd try this angle: AI intensification creates a dependence on your AI model vendor and endangers your human capital. Your AI vendor is knowingly selling you broken goods, so they can satisfy their desperate bubble economics. Your people are (on average) dabbling with AI, but diving into it too much can cause mental health issues (an in-progress paper trying to look at this [1]). And furthermore you're endangering the maintenance and transfer of critical know-how because people are burying critical business processes in slop that sort of works but noone understands (throwback to the 80s where similar things happened with classical automation [2]).
Social media didn't invent it. When I had art and music class in school, why the fuck did I have to get graded? And why does my bumfuck nowhere local volleyball club have to have aspirations for some regional 17th league and do cardio and drills every meet? I just wanna throw ball sometimes to not get fat.
I started to raise my eyebrows when the Second Brain got lumped into the AI wife pile.
Bro, I just write shit down. I am in fact taking responsibility for my schedule and handling my emotions without relying on external support. Am I turning to (checks notes...) the notebook industry for a technological replacement wife?
I mean some valid points, and some of it might explain the gendered AI adoption gap, but too much generalization.
I poked around to see how far gone my main text editor is. They're not about to join the Butlerian Jihad, but I think I can live with it.
We don't care how you wrote the code, but we do care that you fully(!) understand it and how it solves the underlying issue. LLM coding assistants can help with tedious routine and investigation (such as constructing test cases), but they are not a replacement for understanding the problem as well as the code you touch. (Nvim's codebase is full of... let's say "history", and generic models tend to do quite poorly here.)
What is not OK is to copy-paste responses from the LLM as your comments. We don't want to play a game of telephone with the LLM (if it was smart enough to solve the problem, we would be doing that ourselves).
Except in special circumstances (and with explicit notes), all your comments and descriptions must be written by you yourself. (Use a translation tool if you must, but don't let someone else put words in your mouth.)
Contributor actually was bullied into closing his PR, but maintainers reopened and merged it, as the change was fine apparently. Lol
I don't think we can expect commenters to be as nuanced as an academic specializing in genocides.
On the legal front, it is to me morally obvious that that comment was pretty measured and deleting it was fucked. If you claim to do a fucked thing for legal reason, I think it's fair to demand evidence that you are under legal duress. Is there a history of feddit specifically or german fedi sites.in general being hammered for "antisemitic" comments?
The answer to that would determines how much I am pissed at german authorities for misapplying the law or at feddit admins for being biased and/or cowards.
I'm pretty sure LAWS exist right now, even without counting landmines. Automatic human targeting and friend/foe distinction aren't exactly cutting edge technologies.
The biggest joke to me is that these systems are somewhat cost-efficient on the scale of a Kalashnikov. Ukraine is investing heavily into all kinds of drones, but that is because they're trying to be casualty-efficient. And it's all operator based. No-one wants the 2M€ treaded land-drone to randomly open fire on a barn and expose its position to a circling 5k€ kamikaze drone.
Unfortunately the paper structure screams "AI senpai, notice me!"
AI coding agents seem bad at this job yet, but if you optimize for our benchmark...
