I thought you could already do that with the markdown syntax ![alt text](url). Or is this one of those GitHub-unique markdown features?

Chief Vision Officer sounds like a fluff title you give to an old senior partner you can’t legally fire but want to keep as far away from any daily business as possible.

Microsoft is trying so fucking hard to push AI that it's become pathetic at this point.

For some reason I still get those stupid GitHub emails even though I think I've unsubscribed from them ten times already, and it's always the same crap about "93% of developers agree that AI is making them 67% more efficient", or "86% of code is now written with the help of Copilot", or "420% of our users generate sexy catgirl porn on company time". And there's never a source for these numbers.

Meanwhile, even the most AI-hyped marketing bozos in our company agree that Copilot is fucking useless. Even asking it so sum of some Excel rows takes more time than just writing the stupid macro yourself, and you have to double-check the macro it writes anyway.

This really has shitty Kickstarter vibes, where they make up even more insane crap every update just to get people to pledge more while they're burning through their funds without delivering anything they promised.

It annoyed me enough to move my own repos all over to Codeberg, so I guess that's something at least.

Ilya Sutskever also sings AGI chants in the lab and continues to suck major VC dick together with Altman to get more of that sweet moolah to keep developing their chatbots.

Even though he’s apparently very concerned about extinction risks.

In other news, please give me money so I can build a nuke in my basement, which might be powerful enough to blow up the planet, and I’m very concerned it will, trust me, I totally am, but don’t forget to give me money because otherwise I can’t build that nuke that I’m very honestly concerned about.

Also that nuke might be slightly sentient if you squint.

Ah, damn, I even read that post. Must’ve slipped my mind because I just saw this on Reddit.

Hey Clippy, write my paper for me.

I hate that you can't mention the Fermi paradox anymore without someone throwing AI into the mix. There's so much more interesting discussions to have about this than the idea that we're all gonna be paperclipped by some future iteration of spicy autocomplete.

But what's even worse is that those munted dickheads will then claim that they have also found the solution to the Fermi paradox, which is, of course, to give more money to them so they can make their shitty products ~~even worse~~ safer.

Also:

AI could spell the end of intelligence on Earth (including AI) [...]

Somehow Clippy 9000 that's clever enough to outsmart the entirety of the human race because it's playing 4D chess with multiverse time travel, is, at the same time, too stupid to come up with any plan that doesn't kill itself in the end, too?

Kinda off-topic, but I legitimately don’t understand why people use Discord as a discussion platform. It’s fine as a voice chat tool, but why on earth would you want your community posts on there?

It’s not indexable and therefore not searchable by non-members; the content is on a remote server and they reserve the right to delete it any point; it’s a nightmare to backup; and the client itself is a fucking slap in the face in terms of accessibility. They only recently introduced colorblind-friendly modes, and they actually removed the option to choose a dyslexia-friendly font, while their standard font is fucking atrocious.

There’s really absolutely no reason why you would ever use a service like Discord over a discussion forum, and yet people do that more and more and I find it completely baffling.

I was delighted to find a sci-fi story hidden between pages full of AI shilling on the website, and then disappointed because it's not even funny-bad.

Fix the bug that you get logged out when refreshing the page sometimes -- I've noticed this on both Firefox and Safari. The token still exists (at least it's present in document.cookie as jwt), but for some reason it doesn't get sent anymore, so Lemmy thinks you've been logged out.

I've actually looked into this already, but didn't get very far, especially because it doesn't even happen all the time.

Honestly, just storing it in localStorage instead of as a cookie might work ...

The wort part is that I really can't tell if the text on that page was written by spicy autocomplete or some marketing clown who's freebasing coke before lunch.

Experience the ultimate skill mastery like being plugged into a Matrix-like machine!

They didn't even watch the movie, did they?

Maybe don’t install shady crypto extensions next time. Or don’t log into your wallet in public WiFi just so you can accidentally show off to the person sitting behind you at Starbucks.
