Not all humans have equally capable literacy and industrial background.

To use current Top AI SaaS models for coding, the users have to write text prompts. There is clear difference of result by programmer and non-programmer.

Image and music generation have exactly same skill gap.

So most human don't directly use AI even if it's available to all 8 billion population.

But I really doubt we will have such all humans use AI.

The current estimate said 80% of world population own a cellphone. 50% own a smartphone. Even the cellphone is not reached 100% share, how could AI with current top model quality reach 100% share?


It's "what if" thought exercise, doesn't need to be an accurate (or realistic) prediction.

Here's your boycott list:

* Android * All websites hosted on Google Cloud, Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure * All websites using React * Github

Life is tough. Good luck.

I don't know why you didn't include Apple on the list and why you use Meta's old company name.


Yes, these criminals have achieved quite a lot and it's hard to avoid them. I agree.

Apple is not that evil in my opinion compared to the rest. If I don't use Apple then they don't bother me.

I don't care about Facebook's rebranding. I'm allowed to call them what they are.


Well, Microsoft is busy firing real game developers. No chance.

Unless corpo heads are prosecuted for copyright infringement(false DMCA claim IS copyright infringement) and jailed or sentenced to death, no change.


People love to inflate their jobs if there is no cost.

I saw my ex-coworker tried to inflate text that can be expressed in couple of bullet points text. It doesn't add anything. It just fill the fancy flavour text that looks like professional. Then the reader of that inflated text is also another coworker in other team.

I said "Forget it and just send these bullet points" but he refused.

Bullshit job at it's finest I guess.


That's their claim without any proof.


The proof is the judge said he doesn't run his courtroom that way.


It's a court of law after all, not Anthropic/OpenAI. A bit more credible.


Mozilla relies 85% of income from Google for making default search engine Google.

They probably have strong implicit pressure not to.


Mozilla has 300+ million dollars in the bank.


So does Wikipedia but they still desperately beg like they're about to go out of business.


It's technically stupid in the first place.

It's YOUR browser, a locally running software on a physical computer YOU own which memorize the cookie key-value pair a remote host told YOU to memorize and YOU return the same value later. It's YOU who allowed the cookie. If YOU don't want to allow the cookie, YOU simply not allow it.

You are technically 100% control on cookie. These JavaScript implemented in-page UI has no guarantee to respect your wish. But you have a power to disable it.


This has nothing to do with cookies, and everything with pervasive and evasive tracking.

E.g. storing your precise geolocation for 12 years: https://x.com/dmitriid/status/1817122117093056541


It's not quite the same thing since the same cookie used for login (doesn't require consent) could be used for tracking (requires consent). But also, basically nobody cares.


"Cookie banner" is a colloquial name; not a technically accurate description of what the banners are for.

GDPR is not about cookies; it is about tracking. Whether the tracking is done through cookies or through other means makes absolutely no difference.

You can prevent some tracking via your browser, but definitely not all of it.


So, why nobody write a code by hand using pen onto paper right now? If it's that good, shouldn't we?


I think I've read the exact thing like 20 or 30 years ago.

But I wonder... isn't it US specific local trend where medical bill is ridiculous? There is no way ICU cost 10K USD/day... except in US.


ICU costs are quite high in general, often 3-4x a regular bed, and about 5k USD average in countries such as Canada and the UK.


I guess three nines availability is important.


Not even hitting 1 nine at the moment - https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/


I object!

The dashboard clearly says 89.15% uptime!

Who says nines need to be leading?


With enough precision in the time metric there are infinitely many nines!


Somewhere in 3.14159...% uptime there are as many nines as you like!


... assuming time is infinitely divisible. (Not a physicist, is that open?)


Lately, 9 out of 10 times i click on a github link to access the repo for $random_project_hosted_on_github I get a page saying that I've been rate limited. Even if it's my first click on a github link for the week.

I guess THAT page has the three nines availability.
