I'm kind of looking forward to this, in a way? I've been struggling with social network addiction, while I was fortunate enough to skip on doomscrolling FB, Instagram, TikTok and all that bullshit, I was always mostly just on Reddit, now Lemmy (but I've also been getting back to Reddit more than I should), or watching youtube.

Over the past 15 years I've been more or less (usually less) successful in cutting off that habit, but I've unfortunately always fallen back into it.

My utmost hate for fingerprinting and any kind of verification will make me finally cold turkey that shit. I've already seen it with youtube - every time it forces me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot, I fuck off and go do something else. Same with Reddit.

So, yeah.

Yeah, I can make a feature without really bothering about it, just by prompting. It works, so I don't really care that much, but the PR takes ages to both clean up for review and then review.

Oh, and it also burns on average 3000$ a month, which is with prices we have, that seems to average at about 1$ per 1mil tokens, so you'd have 10k+ down the drain, per month, if using consumer Claude API. The math just isn't there, like how can they look at literally millions in monthly spend and say "Yeah, that's worth it". And that is before the inevitable price increase.

But whatever, I can increasingly see colleagues just giving up and sending PRs that have been probably only reviewed by AI, with AI written description, that a colleague answers to with another AI written review, that is then merged. There's even someone who keeps answering to chat messages with AI - we do have it wired up, and it sends messages on your behalf, but it tags them as AI, so it's really fucking obvious. And some do that even in DMs, ffs.

At this point I'm just figuring out what field will I change my career to, while burning thousands of dollars so a bot can do my job while I'm playing games or watching videos waiting for it. I get paid either way, so fuck that.

Oh, that's cool! To be honest, I've kind of expected some of the values to be a lot higher. I'd expect that with the inhumane conditions the animals are being stacked, at least the land use per kg would be more efficient than i.e carrots.

I learned a new (not so cool) fact, thanks for the data!

I'm not sure I understand what "meters squared (m²) for one year to produce one kilogram of a given food product." means, though. I'm not doubting the data, World in Data is my favorite newsletter/source, but I'm having a hard time imagining why do you need almost 400m3 per kg of beef. Or rather, I understand that for actually free-range animals, but as far as I know they are not kept in those conditions. It kind of intuitively feels like larger animals should be more space-efficient than vegetables. Again, not trying to argue or doubt it, just trying to understand why.

You have to time it right, there is a sweet spot when it's just warm enough for a while.

I would like to see this graph with non-animal agriculture added, especially if scaled to meet the demands of missing animal agriculture.

I'm not defending animal agriculture, I'm honestly curious. Especially about water usage and land use, I can imagine pollution will be a lot lower.

I love how desperate Meta is to be part of the AI race :D This has the energy of a looser kid on a playground that is so desparate for attention it tries to mimic the things cool kids are doing.

Lol, "look at us, we have AI too, it also can go rogue".

No one cares about your AI in the slightest, Meta. Fuck off.

Couldn't you argue that 0% is correct?

It's a paradox, no of the answers can be correct, so the chance that you pick the correct one is 0%.

Sure, by picking it, it makes it wrong, but you don't care about that.

If you ran a infite monte carlo test on it, you'd end up with 0% correct answers.

Sure, picking the zero makes it not true again, but you don't care about that - it prooves that the statistical test holds.

Kind of have an urge now to post an issue that the nstall skill has installed a malware on my machine.

It's pretty plausible that could happen, and good luck debugging that.

While you're technically right, I'd say that FOSS in general is more than just a tool, and Linux is The FOSS project.

Deciding to share your work freely and cooperate with strangers as a contributor is, especially in a world driven by profits, a pretty major lifestyle/philosophy and an act of resistance against capitalism.

Of course, you can just exploit the ecosystem and treat it as any other tool, that happens to be free, but I would say that that is the explanation about "people that worship the altar of Linus" that you're looking for. Spending basically your entire life to help make something, especially as complex as an operating system, for others and for free is something that, at least in my eyes, is worthy of admiration and I have utmost repsect for people who contribute.

Thank you for this comment, especially the second part - thanks to that I've realized it's something I've been guilty of doing ever since a lot of the things I used to love started getting heavily enshittified, and most of my comments are exactly what you are mentioning, and I never realized that until you said it.

I'll do the same! While I wasn't making the comments malliciously, mostly just sharing my disappointment as a way of giving feedback to the product in question, but I didn't really occur to me that there's really no point that doesn't add anything to the discussion, and there's really no reason to spend time doing that. It's something I never really thought about, but what you're saying makes sense, so thanks for mentioning it.

One of the core memories I have is when I have absolutely fell in love with Watch Dogs 2 during my college years. The way how they mixed street art and hacktivism was amazing, especially because hackers usually don't really have a style - and the glitchart (or however is the style called) style of videos was simply stunning.

It made me reconsider my career. I was studying software engineering with a plan to go to gamedev, and have eventually just picked up one optional ethical hacking course and got really into CTFs and pentesting, eventually landing a job in that field. My poser justification was that if shit hits the fan, I want to be ready to help with a modern kind of resistance.

While my young poser self was convinced and determined that's why I'm doing it, I... did not expect it will come to literally that. Like, what they are planning with AI crime prevention is literally THE plot of Watch Dogs.

Welp, I guess it's time to finally learn parkour (safely with a laptop on your back, of course) and whip out spray cans.

I can imagine that works for most cases, but when you try to include some lesser known and obscure library, that is heavily typosquatted, you might run into issues.
