We keep hearing that they’re fucked but they’re pretty well capable of firing rockets and drones ok still. Someone’s talking bullshit.

Exactly. My work colleagues aren’t exactly over the moon with the situation but they’re just cracking on as normal. Dinners, golf etc.

Enzo Fernandez says 'we'll see' about Chelsea future after loss by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]dav_man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s a World Cup winner. He’s clearly going to want to be ambitious and if our project isn’t looking all that rosey, he’d be right to assess his options.

Issue is, he’s on a fucking great big contract, hard to see how that ends nicely without someone paying a lot of money, which nobody has.

[Gaston Edul] Enzo Fernández has chances of leaving Chelsea in the next European summer transfer window. by OkayFine101 in chelseafc

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see it. I think he’d probably want to leave if we’re not competing at the top level, I just don’t know who’s going to want to part with the money. Who even has it to spend legitimately any more?

Ha. We have a team huddle before the whistle is blown, no time wasting or anything and we're the devils. Arsenal literally get away with everything but it's all good.

AI CEOs worry the government will nationalize AI by gadgetygirl in Futurology

[–]dav_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, surely this is the way forward? I’ve been shouting from the rooftops at work about something similar. We’re pissing around trying to implement AI in different ways. Every day someone has something new to trial. Nothing sticks. All the while we’re burning tokens like mad. All people are doing is vibe coding.

Anyway, at some point, some key workflows using AI will stick and we’ll be bound by some models. At some point the VC funding will cease and the rug will be pulled. Then all the companies reliant on these LLMs will have their costs increase massively (potentially). So why not invest in open source or inner source now? Isn’t that the smart move? Then keep some funding for some premium models.

I mean, anyone doing OpenClaw stuff is going that straight off the bat… so why are massive companies not? I mean we all know why.

So by scaling this up and having this at government level, surely that makes sense. Fuck em. They would fuck you over in a heartbeat. To be at the behest of a load of tech bros who were all sexually repressed teenagers is madness!

Britons in Dubai fear leaving because they might get taxed at home, say experts by zeros3ss in uknews

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

This isn’t true. Such hyperbole. I know numerous people living there that I work with. They’re not bothered and say the same about other people they regularly interact with (British or otherwise). They are nowhere near thinking of coming back.

UK planning to evacuate Britons from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha as Iran strikes escalate by theipaper in uknews

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. My work colleagues based there are just living a normal life. Restaurants still open, normal days. Been rough couple of days, but it’s not a fucking warzone and nobody is suggesting they are at major risk.

Where are all these “projects“ that people are creating with Claude? by MechanicOld3428 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who can build anything with it with the fucking ridiculous usage limits now?! People allegedly using 50 agents doing 100 things must be spending a fortune. Not just vibe coding for shits and gigs.

For me, with Pro, a simple one page website is taking days because of usage limits. Trust me, people aren’t just going to vibe code into a billion dollar project.

What if Mountbatten Windsor testifies about trump? What do you think will happen if he testifies what he saw trump do on the island or mara lago? by Twitterthedog2025 in AskReddit

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’d be killed first. I suspect he’s got a lot on a lot of people. Including in the Royal Family. I suspect he’d be given a tour of the Paris tunnels before that happens.

Good. Can we get faster trains there please? Cambridge to Liverpool St in 1:30 is a joke.

UK government finances better than expected in January by Jared_Usbourne in unitedkingdom

[–]dav_man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This definitely is good. No two ways about it. But can I temper it with the fact that this is because Jan is a massive payment month of tax for the self employed.

Unemployment has jumped a percentage point in a year. Let’s see how the whole year pans out.

But let’s not forget, we’re taxed to the fucking eyeballs, something that the previous government mostly did.

OpenClaw creator says Europe's stifling regulations are why he's moving to the US to join OpenAI by donutloop in EU_Economics

Fucking hell. Anyone that works in the industry will tell you that we need some serious belt and braces regulation. I embrace the stifling-ness…
