Are you thinking what I’m thinking?..

Perhaps, but at least I’m not being charged for each attempt at doing work besides my time in the attempt. Copilot would bug out and that cost me usage credits. Borderline stealing from its users paying for limited credits per month.

Yup, same. x57 for GPT 5.5 now?! The GitHub agent architecture was hot as hell and allowed me to work on projects without ever bootstrapping it locally, but there is no way I’m gonna get sucked into spending hundreds a month. It felt good seeing that $250 refund come through for my yearly plan. I’ll take those funds to Claude or Codex directly. Throttled usage is way better than being fucked over by a glorified reseller.

You’re absolutely right, and the vast majority of people on this platform seem to get offended by anything AI related. Software engineers have been reviewing code made by other people since the dawn of the craft. Guess what y’all, AI generated code looks exactly the same, if not better on the first pass at creating a thing.

Down vote me all you want homies. You’re living in a fantasy if you think all AI is slop. Sure, I can see how it’s ruining some content on the Internet, but for code related tasks, its going to dramatically change the world for the better.

If it’s stealing real jobs, perhaps it is time you should reconsider the ‘doesn’t work’ perspective.

It seems to work just fine my dude.

Planned obsolescence at play here 😢 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

The luxuries that come from anything with a battery are great, but everything running a lithium-ion battery has its days numbered, and that’s really unfortunate for the consumer and absolutely stellar for the business.

And its hella fun…

Just as long as they also cap property tax and insurance increases at 3%, I’d be fine with that. I had both more than double in price in 3 years.

Personally I think the mistake was letting mice run around the front of the house during my last visit. We pointed it out to the staff who gave us the most fake surprised look I’ve ever seen.

It’s too bad, their Cajun Chicken pasta is FIRE.

You’re doing it wrong IMO. ChatGPT 4.0 is freakin’ amazing at helping on coding task, you just need to learn what to ignore and how to adjust the prompt when you’re not getting the results you want. Akin to the skillet of googling for programming solutions (or any solution), it gets easier with practice.

For an administration so desperate to cut back on global emissions, keeping cheap and apparently reliable foreign electric vehicles out of US market seems so backwards.

I went to Google IO the year they announced Google Music (2013?) and they offered a special discount for those in attendance. I gotta hand it to them, even through all those transitions (Red, YouTube Premium) they have grandfathered me into the new services with the similar discounted price. If they ever took the discount away, I still kinda feel like the family plan is a bit justified given how much my wife and I consume YouTube content.

Bravo. I need to watch this show again…

Does Escape from Tarkov make the list?

Uh oh!! Somebody else is about to get wacked!

A huge yet underappreciated impact on the modern world. People don’t realize how much work goes on behind the scenes to bring those apps/websites to life.

Thank you for all your contributions Simon. Rest in peace sir.

Yeah for real. Putin may be a dick, but unlike Trump he is way ahead in the dictator plays and is estimated to be sitting at well over 100 billion USD. 500 million to bail out the US president who would gladly take the U.S. out of NATO for him seems absolutely reasonable.

You plant shit seeds, you get shit weeds.

If it’s one thing I learned from the last BS they pulled during the protests last year, it’s that their actions will have little impact on reddit user behavior. People will complain and express outrage, but the vast majority of users will just sit back and take it like good little AI trainers.

I for one will not be one of them. When they removed mods from communities that were in protest, that’s enough for me to stay clear going forward. As much as I miss the content, it warms my soul every time I think about the ad revenue they’re missing out on by my own personal decisions to not consume it.
