Thing is, as we all know, prototypes rarely make it to the trash bin if managers and product owners have a stake in the project. Which becomes an even bigger problem now that minimal amounts of humans are involved in producing said prototypes.

I had a meeting with a customer who proudly proclaimed they do “full-on agentic coding” at their startup, and one of their developers mentioned their entire codebase has been rewritten three times in the past week before the meeting took place. I do not have high hopes for their project ever being refactored by humans involved in anything else than light UAT before customer demo time.

This happened to me, just a few weeks ago. I am glad I had btrfs snapshots…

They have never reported a data breach.

Fixed that for you. Same goes for most companies though - the abscense of a publicly known data breach does not mean it hasn’t happened, with or without said company’s knowledge.

Residential proxies are controversial, as the majority of them are made available via adware inserted into mobile apps, running without the device owner’s knowledge about it:

Residential proxy networks grow through several mechanisms. The most widespread is SDK-based provisioning: proxy companies pay mobile developers to embed their SDK into free or low-cost applications, which ships with a lengthy end-user licence agreement that, buried in legal language, consents to routing third-party traffic through the user’s device. Most users click through without reading it (Trend Micro, 2025; Google, 2026; FBI, 2026).

Cold talk and starting a conversation with someone you never met is not a natural skill for everyone; myself included - I am extrovert when being around people I know or people someone who is with me knows, but shut as a clam when with strangers.

Doing something together that you can talk about to get to know each other’s preferences and what you picked up from the experience is a great way to break the ice.

I particularily enjoy going to a museum, theatre or music concert on a date, and try to suggest something I haven’t seen or heard before.

Thanks for taking your time to answer in a constructive way. I have to admit I wasn’t expecting that (not because of you, but from the general attitude I’ve seen here on Lemmy lately).

No, they are most likely wondering what the intended checks and balances are. Not how they are used in practice (which we already know). I am also curious.

And in contrast to the avalanche of slop we are currently enduring, the pre-commercialization era of Internet was wild, in a fun way. Yes, we had slop back then too, but it was naïve, gorgeous, hand-crafted slop.

I guarantee you, managers, sales teams and PR firms have been writing copy like this since the first company was started. Unfortunately, LLM is just reducing the amount of typing a human has to do.

Perpeetum token machine

Please, stop assuming every US citizen voted for Trump. A lot of them didn’t, and you most likely have no idea whether the person you replied to is one of them.

These kind of comments are becoming tiresome and doesn’t help anyone; and they certainly doesn’t bring anything to the discussion.

That’s exactly what an LLM would say.

And I would absolutely love it if they got Ron Howard to voice it.

Thank you. I’ve never read a better description of the feelings I’ve had the past few years with LLM “booming”.

You have a point regarding mindset, but I would encourage people to stop hoping for change. Be the change you are hoping for - help each other to survive in a world where we can’t rely on goverment support.

Start mutual aid networks, reach out to peers and strangers alike, share resources/skills/knowledge, learn how to set up mesh networks/use amateur radio gear for communication, build sustainable shops where actual useful stuff is produced, etc.

Have plans for how to reach your community quickly in different kind of emergencies.

Look at how organizations in countries that are further ahead when it comes to living under fascist rule have survived and built their networks. You’re not alone, people have had to deal with and live under way way worse conditions than you and got stories/strategies to tell.

I’m not saying you need to build some kind of militia or go off grid. But this kind of infrastructure can be used regardless of how the future pans out where you live. It can be used right now, by and for those that lack the resources that others have, and has been left out in the cold by their government.

Best case scenario: Politics change to the better and you now have a strong, well-organized community that can put pressure on local politicians to keep it that way.

Worst case scenario: Regardless of politics, you and others have the means to keep on living through your community, and the amount of leverage the fascists have on your community has been reduced.

Well, we still need to survive the war with the Klingons and Vulcans before we form the alliance and implement full-on space communism. But we already know we will, so it’s basically just for show.

Here we go-oh!
