AI needs to stop

Same, and same....

Somebody has to hold the bag. I don't think this is functionally different.

[skeezix@lemmy.world]

You mean that?

Even the supposed efficiency benefits of the nest basically come down to "if you leave the house and forget to turn the air down, we will do it for you automatically"

Speaking from experience?

I think I will try ESP-Home, half of my appliances are Tasmota-based now, I just was too lazy to research compatible Thermostats... (Painful hindsight)...

Heard from the "Ai enhanced" rabbit dildo vibrator? There are loads of those toys.

Not that specific one, but I did have a fly fuck up a selection in photoshop a few times before I just unplugged the USB connection to the monitor.

Any examples spring to mind? I've built apps that are only distributed as containers (because for their specific purpose it made sense and I am also the operator of the service), but if ya don't want to run it in a container... just follow the Dockerfile's "instructions" to package the app yourself? I'm sure I could come up with a contrived example where that would be impractical, but in almost every case a container app is just a basic install script written for a standard distro and therefore easily translatable to something else.

FOSS developers don't owe you a pre-packaged .deb. If you think distributing one would be useful, read up on debhelper. But as someone who's done both, Dockerfile is certainly much easier than debhelper. So "don't need it" is a statement that only favors native packaging from the user's perspective, not the maintainer. Can't really fault a FOSS developer for doing the bare minimum when packaging an app.

I am not the person who posted the original comment so this is speculation, but when they criticized "containerizing everything" I suspect they meant "Yes client, I can build that app for you, and even though your app doesn't need it I'm going to spend additional time containerizing it so that I can bill you more" but again you'd have to ask them.

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

also! it's worth noting that not all FOSS developers are debian (or even linux) devs. Developers of open source projects including .Net Core don't "owe" us packaging of any kind but the topic here is unnecessary containerization, not a social contract to provide it.

One of the leading sources of enshitification.

[astralala@lemm.ee]

I just moved. The number of companies where I had to argue with an AI phone system that refused to let me speak to an actual person in the past month is more than 10. I'm sure that made costs cheaper, but I know that made their value go down to me.

[croquette@sh.itjust.works]

Absolutely. More spice

[very_well_lost@lemmy.world]

Don't forget microservices!

[lunarul@lemmy.world]

They're not advertising to existing consumers, they're trying to attract new ones. If someone is shopping around for sort functions and yours says it uses radix to make it faster and more performant, then it's likely going to be a good selling point. So they put "we use AI, so you know it's good" on everything because they think that's also a good selling point.

[sculptuspoe@lemmy.world]

I like the art... and the use as DM in RPGs looks promising.

All this needs to be a shit post is an AI watermark

[mrsdoyle@sh.itjust.works]

I was trying to take a photo of piece of jewellery in my hand tonight and accidentally activated my phone's AI. It threw up a big Paperclip-type message, "How can I help you?" I muttered "fuck off" as I stabbed at the back button. "I'm sorry you feel that way!" it said.

Yeah, I hate it. At least Paperclip didn't give snark.

[naught101@lemmy.world]

Do they though? Are they ignoring the risk of a bubble collapse?
