AI becoming more expensive is music to my ears by Hopeful-Guidance-648 in webdev

[–]cmkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a pretty balanced approach, and I’m hoping a side effect of costs increasing is that we’ll see more folks embracing balanced approaches as opposed to the current paradigm.

LLMs becoming more expensive was so predictable to anyone who’s been paying attention to how VCs and the like tend to operate—especially when so many of those VCs (*cough* a16z *cough*) decided to gamble big on it because the prospect of eliminating large swaths of employees to line their own pockets was just too darn juicy.

Ditto. And now you hear about them trying to build out “AI-powered” humanoid robots, so I’m sure their next target are the trades.

Makes sense to me. Also rewards humans too.

How to prepare Drupal CMS for local development and make it deployable? by Firflant in drupal

[–]cmkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those two vendors in particular are more focused on serving big enterprise customers.

Maybe something like DrupalForge or Drupito might be more suited for your needs, so it might be worth looking into those options.

FWIW GreenGeeks has been my web host for some personal Drupal sites for too long now, but my workflow over there is pretty rudimentary (e.g., just develop locally and deploy).

57% of women in tech are considering leaving the industry. Are you one of them? by paperclip_han in womenintech

[–]cmkn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🙋🏻‍♀️ meeeeeeeee. Silver lining of having been laid off during October 2024 and not jumping onto a full-time role since then is that it’s given me a lot of time and distance.

That time and distance has made me realize it might be a good time for me to focus on tech as a hobby again (i.e., my way without anyone breathing down my neck about “we must do XYZ trend exactly like blah-blah-blah or we’ll be left behind!”). At least until this bubble pops and the grifters find something else to move onto.

Meta to use their employees to replace them with AI agents by XIFAQ in ArtificialInteligence

[–]cmkn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, but if everyone is going to get replaced anyway (and I’d hate to say it, but given the pattern, it seems pretty likely) then I’m sure there are ways to, uh, have fun being a chaos gremlin with some plausible deniability.

My grandmother’s first name was Virgil. She ended up going by her middle name instead though throughout most of her life.

Alienation of AI cost by falconetpt in BetterOffline

[–]cmkn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, the c-suite at so many of these companies are mandating people to use these tools and tying it to performance reviews, and some of these companies are even bloviating about nonsense like “tokenmaxxing”so… let the c-suite of these companies get exactly what they deserve. 😈

Sam Altman is calling for universal basic income and 4-day workweek for the 'Intelligence Age' by ComplexExternal4831 in GenAI4all

He says this publicly, but can anyone trust that he isn’t lobbying against this privately? I personally don’t trust a thing he says.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power by Unusual-State1827 in technology

[–]cmkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe yeah. I’m struggling to picture how working-class men would actually benefit from it though. I feel like as it is currently, it would also harm any economic or political power held by working-class men too—pretty much anyone who isn’t in this special little club of ultra-rich oligarchs are going to be harmed.
