The only useful outcome is acquittal. These rich board room types need to know they’re not safe.

I use Linux on everything except my gaming rig… There are games that I like that only run on windows. As soon as that’s handled I’ll make the switch on they machine too.

I’ve still got a year of updates on my Verizon of 10. I’m going to use them.

Ok very good. I’ll accept that you didn’t downvote me.

Modern OCR is exclusively AI driven which is why it’s so incredibly good right now. Moreover the OCR on modern cell phones such as the Samsung Galaxy s24 and pixel variance do much more than simple text recognition, they’re able to scan bar codes and translate text on screen.

It’s extremely useful for what I do. I think you should give AI a try instead of falling onto the anti ai band wagon.

I think you’re the one who rated me down to zero. Normally I wouldn’t care, but I’m bringing it up for a reason. If you did rate me down, it would only be because I stated that Al has benefits, which it objectively does. That would mean you did it solely because my statement conflicts with your ideology, which is the same behavior you see from conspiracy theorists and radicalized right-wing groups.

I’m correct that Al has beneficial applications. That is not up for debate.

Are you so locked into your own rhetoric that you can’t even acknowledge that?

Haywire? That all sounds legit to me!

There are things that AI does well and certain features should be available in an operating system. For example the AI features on my Samsung phone I actually really like them I use them all the time.

Especially the highlighting feature for copy and paste absolutely fantastic for my work.

But what Microsoft is doing is just all intrusive AI it’s completely unnecessary and nobody wants it.

They meant that in terms of infiltration they’re becoming more humanoid at an exponential level

There are ways around that kind of stuff even for the most stringent of governments. Of course inherently there’s always a risk you asked me if I’m willing to take it and I said yes.

Yes. You pirate anything?

It’s only a matter of time before some protocol is invented that bypasses all of this with some simple code or some plugin.

You can’t just ban your way to compliance.

I see the damage control started.

I’m putting a lot on credit. 1600 rent 1000 daycare 800 food 1000 car (payment + charging + ins. $4400 a month for basics. I make 5k to 6k a month. I don’t make enough for regular things.

Dang dude. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with 100 downvotes on lemmy yet… 😐

No there isn’t. 🤣

My car is 836 + ins. Fiance’s car 500 + ins = about 1500 a month.

My car was about 40k full electric so I don’t have to buy gas. Other car was 25k and a hybrid so we don’t have to buy too much gas.

I drive a butt load 35k a year sometimes 40k. I’m more interested in reliability than savings as reliability to me is savings.

It’s a constant balancing act. Cheap car pay for gas and repairs expensive car pay electricity and the bank.

If it wasn’t for my job I’d get me a 2010 Nissan versa.

The apartment is cheap for the marker but still ostentatiously expensive.

I just told you why I buy the kind of cars I do. I can’t get a versa for two grand… It won’t last for more than two months. I’ve tired it before… It was really bad.

It’s funny, years ago, a single developer “killing it” on Steam was almost unheard of. It happened, but it was few and far between.

Now, with the advent of powerful engines like Unreal 5 and the latest iterations of Unity, practically anyone outside the Arctic Circle can pick one up and make a game.

Is tech like that taking jobs away from the game industry? Yes. Very much so. But since those programs aren’t technically “AI,” they get a pass. Never mind that they use LLMs to streamline the process, they’re fine because they make games we enjoy playing.

But that’s missing the point. For every job the deployment of some “schedule 1” or “megabonk” tech replaced, it enabled ten more people to play and benefit from the final product. Those games absolutely used AI in development, work that once would’ve gone to human hands.

Technology always reduces jobs in some markets and creates new ones in others.

It’s the natural way of things.

I drive 35 to 40k miles a year for my job. I only get new because I’d rather pay and have a driving car than pay and have one in the shop for the same price.

My car was 40 and full electric so I don’t have to buy gas and my fiance’s car was 25k. Those two car payments and and insurance we pay around 1500 a month.

But it’s not the cars that’s a problem. I choose that luxury. Be it for practicality or showing off. What I don’t choose is to live ina 600 squarefoot Apartment for a thousand dollars more than it should be. Or daycare for 250 a WEEK!

Even if I lowered the price of the card for 500 a month, 800 a months it wouldn’t help.

1600 rent. 1000 day care. 1500 car payments. 800 grocery. 200 gas (for cars). Bills 300.

My fiance and I make around 6k a month and it’s not enough.

This is insanity even with snap.
