Hello. I’ve been silenced, removed and blocked enough on lemmy dot ml for being a filthy leftist but not a falling in line defending totalitarian states full blown authoritarian communist. Sooo I’m blocking everything from lemmy dot ml so I don’t have to be bothered with any more of that nonsense. If you are on lemmy dot ml and commenting on me I will not see it. Ta ta.

  • AI is inevitable in many fields but as usual people expect way too much from it. It’s a tool, not a magic wand. I agree with you that it is useful and even powerful when used by somebody that understands when it is useful. But it is dangerous when wielded by somebody that doesn’t. As others have said, let your boss vibe code themselves into a corner and leave them to vibe code themselves out of it. They will try to deflect that it is your job to solve it though so you better come up with a strategy to handle that. Be sure to have more people on your side in this venture.

    Secondarily, install a chatbot with the instructions to derive essence as a bullet list from your boss wall of texts. If they make their life easier with LLM, so can you. If there are misunderstandings it’s either all just ghosts in the machine or a failure from your boss to communicate clearly.









  • Back 25 years ago the company I worked for was looking into changing the computers for thin clients, then powered by JAVA, aaand of course dynamic workplaces that gets reinvented every seven years or so.

    In the end they decided not to because people wanted to feel that they had their desk with their computer and not a floating office limbo as daily reminder that they are replaceable labour.

    But most of all, their stationary computer had a CD ROM so they could listen to their own music while working and the thin clients couldn’t even customise your wallpaper.





  • Can a reasonable person believe regardless of evidence in ghosts, in deities and gods, in folklore, in aliens, in superstition, in the importance of themselves, in their culture or nation, in their position in society and their gender roles, in mums cooking being better, in bad luck treating them unfairly, in the importance of their habits and rituals, in sticking to how they’ve always done it, in any number of irrational things that they hold close to heart?

    I’d say apparently they can. People are not logic processors. People are people.
