I’m not a conservative and I agree with you.

How old is your son?

How many of those 200 applications did you deliberately install? That seems excessive even for all of those use cases.

And can you elaborate on these use cases, like I’m not sure why you would want a specific VM for bash scripting.

Facebook (Meta) owns WhatsApp. I don’t use WhatsApp and it’s a hassle because it’s popular here so having the ability to send messages to WhatsApp without having a WhatsApp account or app would be useful.

The same could be said for sending emails to a Gmail account. You won’t be forced to send messages to WhatsApp but you’d have the option. WhatsApp is popular where I live so having the ability to send messages to a WhatsApp account would be useful for me as I refuse to install or use any facebook apps.

It depends what country they are in

Microhard?

except genAI has proven no purpose

Generative AI has spawned an awful amount of AI slop and companies are forcing incomplete products on users. But don’t judge the technology by shitty implementations. There are loads of use cases where when used correctly, generative AI brings value. For example, in document discovery in legal proceedings.

100% and like any tool, it can be used poorly resulting in AI bit rot, bugs, unmaintainable code, etc. But when used well, given appropriate context, by users that know what good solutions looks like, it can increase developer efficiency.

The author seems to think that OpenAI having an unsustainable business model means generative AI is a con. Generative AI doesn’t mean OpenAI 🤦‍♂️ There is a good chance that the VC funds invested in OpenAI will have evaporated in 5 years. But generative AI will exist in 5 years, it will be orders of magnitude more useful, and it will help solve many problems.

I’m sorry for your loss OP 🫂

Were you the 18 or the 43?

I grew up coding but don’t read sci-fi. You need to expand your idea on what a good motived coder looks like. It sounds like you’re in a bubble.

Why haven’t these romantic bots reached out to me 🤖💔 These robots are hurting my self esteem 😢

35M views with 40K likes is not a groundswell of support, this guy claims to be a scientist but can’t do simple math 🤣

Plus you can give out really stupid email addresses that work

It appears that it’s not censored the same way in Portuguese, that’s useful to know as another jail-breaking technique
