My case in point. Instead of farming out translation jobs for 12 languages in WPML to people, we now auto translate all content via AI. That’s jobs lost. Complicated legal docs is an edge case in the content world.

Cursor is agent mode with Claude 3.7 absolutely writes well enough after indexing our codebase to mean less junior devs. I’m sorry that doesn’t fit into your narrative.

That’s not to say the world isn’t full of AI slop, and there aren’t huge issues around LLMs, But there are some solid use cases for this technology in replacing meat bags.

How does the combination of Mullvad and Tuta services compare to Proton unlimited? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Proton’s CEO just crawled up Trump’s ass, so that’s worth factoring in to any decisions about using them.

Why Sir John Key thinks Donald Trump should win the US election (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

Key: "Donald Trump is driving very much an America First and a more isolationist kind of view. Actually, it's quite different, it's a very different foreign policy than we've ever seen. So that probably doesn't help New Zealanders much. But on balance, I think he's probably better for the economy.“
