yeah was going to mention gemini app. also I believe live would include their home devices.

I did not. you have read through the whole chain to see it started with someone suggesting impactful folks in the industry will somehow be conjoled by family, friends, and apparently customers to buy the ai line. I even mentioned customers has having an effect. My whole response was people like this are strong enough for that not to be a concern. I mean all sorts of other concerns but not that one.

came to say specifying users of anything in googles ecosystem does not make sense given everyone with a google account technically has access to it all. Then on top of it its integrated into the search. so anyone logged in and searching is likely counted as using it. heck its integrated into all kinds of things so…..

you don’t have to leave your family and friends because of differences in views on ai.

yes

I almost passed this up. if the title had been built a trebuchet that sends a projectile flying faster than the speed of sound I would definately not pass over.

We won’t tell you which one until after sports and the weather with ‘Funny’ Sonny Storm!”

im sorry but it kinda does. it is not all that hard to not follow the herd or go against the grain or even leave a social circle. Many can’t do it sure but many don’t have healthy mindsets to.

because people with a healthy mindset are not going to influenced or coerced by social circles. maybe their customers but that only applies to that customers deliverable.

“are instead being forced ot ignore ai or pledge to be anti ai by their social circles and customers.”

umm. im pretty sure you don’t need to worry about that.

the idea that a startup founder would be a good example of a typical tech person??? Its like the founder of a plumbing company as a typical plumber.

“young man as he was on a call explaining, in painfully monotone detail, EBITDAs, margin expansion opportunities, cost structures, ARR, etc.”

that does not sound like someone in IT. Granted many of my roles it seemed like they were constantly pushing bussness and management bs on you so maybe. thos things did make me the most depressed with my job activities.

I was more saying if gov money is used it should be open source.

only open weight. this is government money. it should have everything open so it can be determined they are all up and up. They should not need to hide they are using ip they are not sopposed to or such. I don’t get why this is being shyed away from. I think an ai should be trained on exclusively public domain or creative commons or such.

yes because its clear by context this is about the web.

its not just ai really. a lot of bs going on. I say people should risk their jobs to not bend to bs. work like you think you should and don’t worry about if they think that is good enough. the modern world sucks and we should live in it genuinely as that is the only thing we have left to ourselves.

why would engineers existing cause people not to learn to read? I really don’t get the connection here. I in no way want to abandon stem just reign in capitalism.

I mean:

“Released on July 21, the Science: A New Golden Age report seeks to update Vannevar Bush’s landmark 1945 report Science: The Endless Frontier for the modern era. In the report, OSTP Director Michael Kratsios argues that today’s scientific landscape — shaped by AI, global competition, and private-sector investment — requires a fundamental redesign of how the federal government funds research.”

sooooo. in 1945 a report talking about ai and global competition was written. was this written by ai (the government thing or its press release)

its not engineers. its business folks utlizing talent. bezos and musk are not geniuses who created these things they are venture capitalists who funded them.

not really directly related but need to tell the story. In college there was an engineer major. Was not doing well with his grades barely holding on. Could never go out as he desperately tried to get his grades up every weekend. Changed his major to marketing and was out getting wasted every weekend and his grades went to all aces. I sometimes think us stem folks should have all changed majors and wrecked their curves.
