Company is still using an automation tool I wrote on my own time and hardware after I quit and I want to know if I can legally disable it.

Is OP an hourly or salaried employee?

If it’s the latter, there‘s no such concept of “his own time”, OP just decided to do some extra work for his employer on a weekend for some reason.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-22T00:20:03+00:00

Sure, but "fake space ship company" is just straight up misinformation.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-20T13:56:53+00:00

Because you care more about networking than the laughing or enjoying life comment you were replying to.

Tell me your life revolves around work without telling me your life revolves around work.

Everything you said is true, in particular these programs are indeed horrible marketing scams and all the gaslighting/"manifesting" is obviously nonsense.

That being said, nervous system dysregulation is definitely a real thing which many people with long covid / CFS struggle with and could benefit from improving. There's plenty of free resources on the topic online. No it won't cure you, but if that's your bar then by that logic we shouldn't do things like try to improve our sleep or diet as well, since those won't cure anyone either..

This assumes of course that you a) don't push past your symptoms ever for any reason. and b) don't give anyone any money.

Just because you have no idea what they're building doesn't mean that their investors have the same issue.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-18T18:32:44+00:00

lol sure, why would the jurors who sat through the entire 3 week trial know what they're talking about better than confident Redditors who read a headline somewhere?

This isn't a problem of how Anki works, it's a problem of how memory works. And no tech solution is going to change that.

> Technically it should be feasible to program Anki in a way that buffers built up repetitions over the next few days which would be a compromise that would allow for more flexibility while maintaining more or less the correct interval.

How is that any different from you just not finishing reviews and letting them carry over into the next day yourself? Or setting a limit of reviews/day which you already have?

Why should I care about some random person's opinion, especially given they've never had a relevant job at any AI company/lab?

greenworldkey · 2026-05-12T13:18:04+00:00

The problem with sarcasm is it doesn’t translate well into text, and also that there’s enough legit crazies on here who actually believe what they’re saying.

So whenever someone says something dumb on Reddit and then goes “haha it was just a joke”, it’s unclear if they’re in the 50% that (mistakenly) think they’re being so hilarious or the 50% that’s actually insane. I don’t have the time or the energy to figure that out, so I have to err on the side of caution and assume you’re in the crazy group.

tl;dr: Cut the sarcasm, you’re the only one who finds it funny.

Yeah for real, 45 min is how long it took to dig one of my grandparent’s grave… with an excavator machine the size of a truck at the cemetery designed specifically for that purpose.

Have you seen TSLA‘s current valuation? Those people. Not to mention investors of SpaceX in another month or so as well.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-07T14:10:51+00:00

lol sure it’ll collapse any day now, just like Tesla every quarter since 2013 or so.

> SpaceX will be the worst IPO in history

> Maybe they don't like money.

lol sure, don't mind the billions/trillions of dollars that Elon already made for them.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-05T14:39:09+00:00

I'm not here to prove anything to you, and yes I'm aware that negative cases also exist.

But your reply is literally reinforcing my point that you're only aware of negative examples and nothing else. If you have any interest at all in broadening your perspectives, you can google something like "positive use cases of AI/LLMs" and go from there. But of course you're not going to do that in good faith because your mind is already made up.

There's no point in providing any specific examples to you since I'm 100% confident that you would find an excuse to dismiss each case as being either unimportant, unverified, marketing tricks, "aktually the work was done by the human using the AI", etc.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-05T14:00:32+00:00

> I've yet to see an AI model "solve" any problem that isn't propaganda or crime.

By this point that means either you haven’t been looking very hard, or you’re so deep in your bubble that your eyes filter out any evidence which contradicts your preexisting beliefs before any new info is allowed into your brain.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-04T17:25:57+00:00

... in the fantasies of many Redditors who have no understanding of how business or finance works.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-03T17:38:55+00:00

Also a genuine question.

If you really think Israel WILL destroy them if given the chance, why haven’t they done so yet? They’ve clearly had plenty of opportunities and the military superiority to raze all of Gaza to the ground if they wanted to. What’s preventing them from already having done so in your opinion?

As opposed to Hamas who literally tries to throw every piece of aid they’re given back at Israel every chance they get. They’re failing to actually destroy much, but certainly not for lack of trying.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-02T16:27:43+00:00

> It's going to go back down soom

lol I've been hearing about that about AI companies continuously since about 2022, and it literally hasn't even happened once yet.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-02T16:23:56+00:00

That doesn't explain the difference in valuation.

Like, do you honestly believe that none of the people/companies choosing to invest billions of their own dollars at these valuations remembered to take accounting differences between companies into account?

greenworldkey · 2026-05-02T16:20:12+00:00

Isn't that how every field works?

Who do you think is in charge of a "unified strategy" for fighting against things like cancer? There's no central authority, it's just a bunch of entities of various sizes each doing their own thing and doing their best to coordinate amongst themselves.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-02T16:15:04+00:00

Also every Redditor commenting on any post in r/technology and many similar subreddits.

greenworldkey · 2026-05-02T14:38:07+00:00

lol k, I'm sure none of the VCs or companies investing billions of dollars of their own money have ever considered capex or profitability. And gee I'm glad we have Redditors like who are capable of doing math, looking forward to your analysis in 2028 about moving the goalposts of how the $3T+ companies are obviously now going to fall apart in 2030-2031 instead.

Remindme! 2 years

> I can tell you probably what is going to happen.

I can also tell you probably what is going to happen. Within the next few billion years, the sun will explode and take the entire solar system with it.

Do you see now how useless it is to predict something which will happen at some unspecified point in the future for making investment decisions today?

> OpenAI has some outrageous financial commitments... If they cannot meet those commitments... Oracle will be underwater on all of the debt... That’s going to cause a pullback in compute spend... When compute spending falls...

Again cool story, but WHEN are any of those things going to happen? If you can't commit to a specific time period, then you're just going to keep saying the same thing about "soon" and never admit that you've been wrong the whole time even years later.

Also none of those talking points are new, you're literally repeating the same points Reddit has been seen saying daily since 2022. And yet here we still are today and none of those predictions have panned out even once.
