  1. I am having a lot of fun with SiValley programmers ranting about AI.

    It was totally fine when they were building all the infrastructure because it filled up their bank accounts.

    When AI was being used to cause all kinds of social decline because it helped them buy their houses and cars.

    But the moment it competes with their jobs they are really upset because it is destroying the morals of their profession.

    Nuts.

  6. Because real service where you deal with your customer face to face can't accept "You are absolutely right! I have incorrectly identified you as a criminal and was about to fine you..." as a valid response.

    AI is not ready for all products. Certainly not products where quality matters. Maybe as clippy 2.0 or an IDE suggestion engine or a documentation reference engine.

    Great technology but greed is making us use it won't.

  11. Wonderful. An entrepreneurial boostrapper is already putting the smartglasses technology to magnificent use.

    - Notice how BBC wants the sensational headline and the eyeballs, but refuses to name the manufacturers.

    - More such innovation please. More toys for rich techbros !!

    - This is the inevitable march of technology towards a bright prosperous future for humanity.

  16. Wow! This is nuts. So, LLMs that are destroying our planet as we know it, are for 'entertainment' purposes only.

    Articles like this expose Si Valley's savage disregard for the user. And of course, codebro users who love their illusion of 10x productivity with LLMs couldn't give two shits about ethics or the planet and god forbid the poor.

    Programming needs to be bombed back into the stone age ?

  26. This appeared on my android phone. I don't know what any of this is. No option to opt out of what to me seems like entirely unnecessary and alarmingly invasive technology.

    Come on phone manufacturers! Make a model with opensource software!

  35. Western Digital has zero hard drives left for 2026. It’s February...

    AI companies are deliberately creating physical memory scarcity so your data only lives on their infrastructure.

    The goal is not innovation. It's holding your memories hostage and forcing you to rent space and useless AI compute that serves no real purpose.

  39. RESOLVED : dropbox on Debian 13

    If you are on Debian 13 and want to use dropbox as a daemon/desktop application, I have found it impossible to use their new software (.debs created for Debian). I also think it is mining your browser data for AI analytics.

    Go with the nautilus-dropbox package in the stable branch.

    And start looking for an alternative. They are coming after your OS and browser. Shameful.
