kat_angstrom,

As usual with headlines involving either AI or Adobe,

Meh

kat_angstrom,

I hate how this is phrased as “redundancies”. IGN literally JUST bought these outlets, they haven’t had time to dig into and examine the organizations they acquired; it’s just straight into the Corpo playbook of “lay people off and let the dust settle where it may”.

These are people, not “redundancies”. They contributed in the old organization, and they could contribute in the new, but they never even got the chance.

kat_angstrom,

Wow, FREE shipping you say? On qualifying offers, you say? Wow, everyone loves all-caps FREE, this is definitely not indistinguishable from spam!

kat_angstrom,

Vaguely human-like

kat_angstrom,

But what happened to the narrator at the end?

kat_angstrom,

Always have been, apparently

kat_angstrom,

Pffft, joke’s on you, I read that in less than 1 second

kat_angstrom,

I’m 4hrs in and it’s been a very rewarding experience so far! More heart than the last Assassin’s Creed I played, which I don’t even remember which one it was

kat_angstrom,

Boycott is a strong word, but I know that I and many, many others decided not to purchase Disco Elysium based on how all that drama went down. And I know I’ll never buy HiFi Rush after the way Microsoft closed that studio while simultaneously lamenting how they wish they had more games like that, because I don’t want to reward bad behaviour.

Same reason I haven’t bought anything from EA in a decade, and I’m really on the fence about supporting Ubisoft at this point too.

kat_angstrom,

Great deal. Thanks, marketing!

kat_angstrom,

A garbage “hot take” that willingly ignores the exploitation the corporations routinely visit upon workers.

kat_angstrom,

So, the more drunk you are, the more ethical it is.

Good to know

kat_angstrom,

Oh, just what Loblaws needs right now, more good press

I am a former immigration minister. Unsustainable population increases won't solve Canada's underlying issues - The Hub (thehub.ca)

The bottom line is that immigrants, students, and workers chose Canada over centuries because we sustained high levels of growth and high standards of living. Canada’s declining affluence over the past decade undermines this pull factor.

kat_angstrom,

"The greatest overriding challenge Canada now faces is that for ten years incomes have stagnated.”

Yeah, try 40 years actually.

kat_angstrom,

Yeah, this has definitely happened before, we just don’t hear about it in the news. I am personally aware of a Canadian non-profit whose Google accounts were nuked with no notice or explanation last year, leading to massive disruptions for 150 staff and even more clients. They never found out why, and had to restore from backups onto a brand new Google business account

kat_angstrom,

Nobody knows. Shape changing man

kat_angstrom,

Yup, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine theme song as my alarm, 5 years and counting

kat_angstrom,

This helps nobody, and whoever thinks it’s a good idea needs better time management skills.

kat_angstrom,

Most of the VPs in my local Corpo are all politicians. They speak in buzzwords and value hearing themselves speak over hearing any feedback from people lower than them in the hierarchy. The disconnection between upper management and everyone else is greater than it’s ever been and it’s only getting worse.

kat_angstrom,

I don’t care about AI.

It’s not because of posts like this; it’s not because of the endless hype cycle. It’s not because hundreds of billions are going into it and it’s not because everyone’s doing it; it’s all these things combined with the fact that I don’t have a use case for AI in my life. I don’t need AI’s sanitized, corporatized opinion on anything, and there’s nothing a chatbot can do that a human can’t do better.

But that’s just me. If you and others like it, Cool Beans.

kat_angstrom,

May I inquire what you think we’ll be using it for?

kat_angstrom,

I’m already amazing at emails and summaries, I can write my own code but rarely need to outside my job, I don’t have a use case for translation, I don’t use my current phone assistant and can’t see myself using a “true” virtual assistant.

Got any better scenarios? Cuz all those use cases fill me with apathy.

kat_angstrom,

Beautiful! Love it! :D

kat_angstrom,

Oh, because I hadn’t upvoted it yet.

kat_angstrom,

Isn’t there literally a movie about this, that she’s stolen the plot of?
