on Shopify CEO says employees' 'slop grenades' are making more work for everyone else in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1d ago
They are hyping themselves. So is Fortune.
We all told you it was vaporware and you wanted to ride that bubble. Don’t pretend any of this was a surprise.

Yes and then the audit will be entertaining. If they have multiple properties and fuck up, they could easily maintain residence.
And whatever their residence is, if they do things that look like working while physically present in the state, they are at risk of being forced to pay.

on even their own economic rules tell them why it will fail 🙄 in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2d ago
No, that is still part of the con. They are pretending to sell that, but they know they can’t. In reality they’re selling vaporware.

You don’t know? … Wow. How about the error rate? Let’s start there.

- No, their opinion would not be the most informed. They are biased in favor of making money. They know they can’t deliver on strong AI, but they’d be happy to milk your fears.

They are lying about their fear. That’s all they can do. Stop believing any claim of theirs. Stop being manipulated.
They are snake oil salesman. They sell vaporware. Don’t fucking buy it.

on Bernie Sanders says if AI is coming for workers, it should bring a four-day workweek with it in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
Oh Bernie Bernie Bernie. AI is 95% vaporware. Stop fretting about the shit they claim they’ll produce but never will.
(Obviously changing technology requires some legal changes. Yes yes. But focus on the real shit that’s already happened, not the bullshit they are promising.)

on LLMs are real, "AI" is fake in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Sep 2026
Maybe you don’t read the same articles that I read, but I very much have seen people claiming the things that the article is fighting against.
Here’s something you should consider. The big AI companies just released a statement saying we should be worried about AI killing everyone accidentally in the future or some such s***. But if they’re selling vaporware, and they know it, and they realize the only thing they actually created was fairly powerful LLMs, they would be desperate to cover up that fact. They would be desperate to make themselves relevant, to pretend that AI is going somewhere when it isn’t.
Another way of looking at things as that author has also written is that we’re looking at definitional questions where the people selling us things are liars. If you point out that their technology hasn’t matched the promises that they made, they will counter by pointing at some advanced statistical methods. If you point out that AI drive-thrus are a failure, and that AI at Pizza Hut has destroyed hundreds of franchises to the point that they sued corporate, then they’ll respond by talking about how intelligent ChatGPT sounds.
So at some point if you want to have a sensible conversation about AI, you need to start to define what you’re talking about. Or you could pretend that there is no need to define things to deflect from the issue, so that nobody reading would learn anything about the world.

on OpenAI boss and Elon Musk back calls to put brakes on ‘reckless’ AI development in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
Of course they want to hype their shit. Pretend the sky is falling (when it’s not) so that you need regulation on AI so that open source and Chinese companies can be blocked out. Get that lock-in before the bubble bursts, fuck yeah.

on Tesla killing Solar Roof is leaving installers with six-figure losses in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
Oh look if it weren’t for government handouts that company would be doing even worse than it already is. A lot of what they do is these weird carbon credit trading scheme b******* tactics. It is a money losing company.

on are phone calls private? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 6 Sep 2026
Phone calls are one of the least secure ways to communicate. Guaranteed that the phone company and spy agencies are listening to it all.

on So Reddit has decided that plain HTML is unsafe in c/technology@lemmy.world · 30 Aug 2026
I agree with you. But what’s important is if they can sell anything. They destroyed their own product but they’re still pretending it has value, and maybe they can fool some investors into paying for script and AI slop.

Google might or might not know where I live but if I send them a utility bill from my Google account then they definitely know where I live.

Will Motorola have support for eSIMs? Will Google Pay work? … I’m not making judgments on whether they should, but asking about practical considerations.

The first goal is to threaten Google’s monopolistic goals. This does that. Of course cheaper would be better, too.

on Delta Will Use AI To Cut Costs And Set A Different Ticket Price For Every Passenger—CEO Says Profits Could Rise 50% in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
Bad headline. They aren’t cutting costs. They’re jacking up prices.

Yah they’re lying. Why should we believe the seven day figure? Oh yeah, we shouldn’t.

on Judge gives Google one week to fix "anticompetitive" app store download in Google Play in c/technology@piefed.social · 15 Aug 2026
It does not sink that.
Google can still technologically allow alternate app stores. They are going to regulate all apps, regardless of how you install them.
It is a good scam. I would try it if I were an evil monopolist. Unless judges step in, it will work, too… We shall see.

Lol you don’t need AI for that, but it’s doing its part right now with the bubble.

If you work long shifts or overnights, maybe your cats need food more often, so what do you do. Free feed, but many experts advise against that. Well, there are various options.

Fortune is part of this bubble. They helped create it by encouraging top management to ride it… And even here they still do “he said” reporting.

on didn't think so in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 7 Aug 2026
Lol generative AI does absolutely nothing for me. Zero. I use computers and mobile devices for hours a day, and AI doesn’t help with a single task. Throw it out, no problem.
Well no, the title is wrong. Google itself destroyed Google Search. And the Internet does not depend on Google Search. And most of us don’t use Google’s AI.
Of course there are some real damages, but the title itself is bait click. It’s just false at face value. Do better next time.
