Oh, I think we both know the answer to that question.

Possibly, but there’s no practical use for it in my industry, and everything I’ve seen it try and do has been, at best, mediocre. I’ve also noticed that the people who are most enthusiastic about it are never particularly impressive themselves.
Overall, I think it gets far more credit than it deserves, from both it’s fans and critics.

Stop giving AI more credit than it deserves. It’s not going to change the world, it’s not going to revolutionise industries, it’s going to keep spitting out verbose nonsense until we get bored of it.

AI learned to write like that from somewhere, remember that.

on Nobody Will Say Why Every Major AI Chatbot Suddenly Went Down Yesterday in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
SpaceX had an outage at their data centre, and because they sell computing power to other companies, it affected them as well.
That was two sentences stretched out into an article.

on If a Tesla Cybercab fleet were profitable, Tesla wouldn't sell you one in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Sep 2026
You could apply the same logic to airlines, most aircraft manufacturers don’t operate passenger services using the aircraft they manufacture.
And yet, airlines make money.

on US to announce sharply lower vehicle fuel economy requirements in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
Yeah, that’s exactly what I thought as well. Fuel economy has been a major selling point for as long as cars have existed, because it’s always been a major part of the cost of running a vehicle.

Cool, how many of them took a plea deal for killing someone?

Feel free to prove me wrong then. But admitting to a crime you didn’t commit isn’t something that happens regularly.

Not killing someone they don’t.

He has admitted in court to doing it.

on New Twitter launches, says Musk's X gave up the name in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
After seeing what happened to Twitter following the purchase, I think anyone who buys Bluesky would be very wary about trashing the brand in the same way.

on Reddit fades from ChatGPT citations in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
Yeah, I thought the same thing as well. I’ve got no doubt it’s gotten worse, but the place was never known for originality.
-
on Reddit fades from ChatGPT citations in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
Probably because the AI has no concept of satire or sarcasm, and will tell people to put glue on pizza because someone was a smartass on Reddit.

That’s a great summary of why so many people don’t use these features.

The emergency braking I understand, I’ve driven some downright paranoid vehicles with that tech.

Yeah, we do to a point, someone has to want that job.

Line cook isn’t an easy job, to be fair.

100-110k is a lot of coin, you’re being paid pretty well to wear those hats.

on New website lets drivers check whether their license plate has been searched on Flock database - Dexerto in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
That’s a risky move though, if you get caught driving a car with stolen plates, you’re in trouble.
-

Ooh, that’s a good point. Time to get a new car, they know about this one.
-

Something I find interesting about this is, there’s no verification that you do indeed own the plate you’re searching. I’m not sure what mischief you could get up to knowing that the police searched for information on someone else, but it’s something to think about.

on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
I’m not so sure about that, Ublock is the reason I use Firefox, and I don’t think I’m alone in that. And I’m pretty sure they know that.

Of course they will, it’s their main selling point.

Yeah, it’s the verbose, waffling, psychophantic tone they all have.

on Spotify threatens industry with ad-skipping tool: "Skip Ahead" is available for Premium users in selected markets, and enables them to skip entire ad breaks, intros, sponsorship messages. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
If the sponsor cares, the content creator soon will, because that sponsor spot is now worth a whole lot less.

Spotify doesn’t put those in, the content creator does. And I suspect they won’t be happy about this tool.

on A Physicist Rigged His Pet Hamster’s Wheel to Upload to Strava. It Runs Surprisingly Far Every Night in c/technology@lemmy.world · 9 Aug 2026
I’d feel embarrassed about a hamster doing more distance than me, but the hamster doesn’t have a job to go to, or chores to do.
This really feels like Wired reached a conclusion before writing the article. The survey results aren’t amazing, but they’re a lot better than I’d have expected based on the article.
Obviously some very gross individual examples though.
