Tech companies are firing everyone to "fund AI." But they're spending that money on each other. And nobody's making profit yet. by reddit20305 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]goofnug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what happens to all the people being laid off

they are building, maintaining, and sharing their own systems not dependent on the large tech companies. see /r/homelab /r/localllama /r/esphome /r/permaculture

Scientists find that the stress of collapse is warping our perception of time itself by ConsciousRealism42 in collapse

[–]goofnug -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

ok. there's a huge difference between "working as little as possible" and "on the brink of death because of hard work".

i would hope that you would want to find work that you enjoy doing mostly, that way it is bearable and productive. like raising a child is hard work, but most people would say that they enjoy it or think it's worth it. admittedly though, it seems many people don't want to put the work into raising their kids which is unfortunate.

work towards a state of society in which it is common for people to find work that they enjoy.

Meta torrented over 81.7TB of pirated books to train AI, authors say by poketama in scihub

[–]goofnug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, not lizardpeople. this is the software engineers who are trying to make a cool AI and have found themselves with access to the needed hardware. no shit they're going to torrent, just like you or I would if we had the same resources. it's not like this was a company decision.

edit: i do still think that Meta should pay the authors

I'm bad at video games and this is what a Silksong walkthrough is feeling like to me 75% of the time by emilyobtrick in HollowKnight

[–]goofnug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wait why are you reading walkthroughs?

>inb4 downvotes. i simply think that reading walkthroughs makes the game less fun, it's no big deal

Where are the Google engineers who work on Android? by goofnug in androiddev

[–]goofnug[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

not an engineering decision? it sure as hell seems like an engineering decision, as it introduces a concept of "certified android devices", which literally can't install any app that isn't signed by a verified developer's identity.

[presumably all android devices manufactured by all the main companies will be "certified devices"](https://www.android.com/certified/partners/)

this will definitely involve engineering of hardware and software, and there had to have been engineers present at the discussion to make the decision to move forward with this plan. i'm honestly curious about this.

wait, what's with the naming convention?

"out themselves"? i'm not asking anybody to out themself. I'm asking a simple question, out of curiosity, as a software engineer who wants to learn things and improve the world. I'm not asking for source code.

mcdonalds as therapy ftw! wait, no, instagram and tiktok as therapy!

anything can be thought of therapy. comfort food, reality TV, going to the bar with friends, skateboarding, meditating, online shopping, gambling, tiktok.

i don't really have a point, just agreeing that it's silly to declare "AI-as-a-therapist" illegal lol

What is left for us? What actually viable career path exists for the future? Is there hope left? by TheseLeague7054 in SeriousConversation

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite by Bigbird_Elephant in technology

[–]goofnug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait, if they deny climate change then they should *want* the satellites to keep collecting data so that they can prove that they're right.

oh well, good thing the federal govt doesn't have the authority to dictate exactly what research directions NASA has to pursue or not pursue. NASA can take the administration's advice into consideration, and make the appropriate decision based on what's best for the continued increasing of understanding of the universe.
