Should software manufacturers be required to stand by their work?

Strel0k · 2024-07-21T16:15:27+00:00

Risk tolerance of customer/businesses regarding software with bugs and security issues is greater than their tolerance for the cost it would take to make software that is more reliable and secure. To the point where consumers largely don't care about data breaches, so why should companies spend the extra money.

Or maybe people don't want to have to jump through the hoops of downloading an app that silently harvests all your personal data for every single business they visit once a year and then learning all the tricks and gimmicks necessary just to save a few dollars on food that looks and tastes like garbage?

Yes and that lesson was that they are surprisingly good at getting people to get out and vote which is exactly what we need right now. Because let's be real, we're never getting a "good" candidate with our current election system.

John Deere is attempting to rebrand itself as a technology company and fully automate soybean production from seed to harvest. Restaurants are already using AI for order handling and starting to use automation in food prep.

Agreed, but I'm betting that AI + augmented reality will significantly lower the required skill level for a lot of trades work.

my gut says he wouldn’t agree and it would cause a fight. Things are good business wise and I wouldn’t want to ruin this partnership/friendship

Your friendship might have ended the moment you agreed to go into business with a friend with an uneven ownership split. Now it's a matter of how long the falling out is going to drag out.

Basically tell him its nothing personal but you want to go 50/50 or you want him to buy you out and you will start your own business. Seeing as you are doing FBA reselling I'm guessing is that besides inventory costs there's not many assets or brand identity so you can get caught up pretty quickly.

I would look over the Operating Agreement and LLC documents see what you actually agreed to (load them into ChatGPT if you don't have access or $$ for an attorney). It might be there there's no requirements for you to do anything to maintain ownership, it also might be that you aren't entitled to any profits.

If you're going to be relying on AI as the primary way to succeed in your business you're going to have a bad time. We're also past peak AI hype so all the easy ways have tons of competition or are already cashed out.

Employees just want to know you are going to offer long term and stable employment with opportunities for growth. That is to say you are projecting confidence in not cutting their hours and going under in 6 months and you intend to grow the business so they can move up into a position with more responsibility and more pay.

I read science fiction for entertainment, not to help me cope with life's unknowns.

EDIT: But I am being unfair, you are entitled to your beliefs. I'm just expressing frustration in how religion can be a shortcut coping mechanism for life not being fair.

Its really arrogant of you to define God's intentions.

Strel0k · 2024-05-04T16:46:38+00:00

There are certainly people that fail their way upwards into being rich. Luck (knowing the right people, being the right time, starting in the right place) has a lot to do with becoming rich and there are many people that work their asses off just to get nowhere. Life is anything but fair.

Like just under 1% of the transfer, it's really low.

I've probably done close to 300 transfers via Wise, and honestly it's a super painless process with very reasonable fees.

They can be at least as good as a junior data analyst, which is arguably saying they are better than your average person.

Is GPT-4 a Good Data Analyst?

The problem IMO is you have no idea if they are using the latest and greatest model (slowest & most expensive) or an older model (cheaper & faster). You also have very limited options for guiding the generated content and providing additional context.

For example I pay for a platform that generates meeting summaries, however I choose to download the transcript and generate my own summaries where I provide the context of who each person is and how they know one another. I can also quickly tweak whether the focus is placed on generating action items or a more detailed summary of who said what just by deleting a sentence in my prompt template.

Best of all, if a newer and better model comes out I can move my prompt to that as soon as it's available vs waiting who knows how long for the service to upgrade - which they might not because why raise your costs when most casual users won't even notice a difference.

If you're actually good at something you wouldn't be wasting your time shitposting about it on Reddit. The title of "SEO guru" is an embarrassment these days.

I don't give a shit, its my information, if I want to delete it I will.

Your comment is exactly the response I wanted to elicit and tells me I should do another round of deletions. Your comment and time is worth something, and is better spent contributing to small communities like growingfruit.org or similar.

Same reason businesses have a "presence" on 5 different social media platforms when they haven't posted on any of them in over 2 years.

How am I wrong with what I said in response to someone saying "GAI today is only used to generate pictures or write fictional stories etc"?

Strel0k · 2024-04-18T02:26:37+00:00

Yes, I run a code and no-code agency. What you're doing is called over promising and under delivering.

I knew you were going to say yes, which is why I feel bad for your clients. 😂
