Link?

That’s a setting

ALright, thanks for the recommendation :) And yeah, “weird” and “metal” are good descriptions. Additionally, the backstory we got in S1 was definitely “fire”.

I liked the first 80% of the first season, and stopped watching halfway into S02E01. Is it worth continuing? Do we get any answers? Are they satisfying?

Thanks, I appreciate the concern. Luckily, the entire core dev team is very critical/cynical about AI, it’s not just me, everyone I directly work with also wants to build the product for its intended purposes, not for AI-use. I think that somewhat lessens the pressure to go with the narrative.

Plus, I can’t see that happening while participating in discussions on this lemmy instance :D

In any case, thank you for the sound advice, Mawhrin-Skel Flere-Imsaho!

Realistically, the bubble bursting just means going back to pre-2025 target markets. But who knows.

Alright, thanks for the info, that’s good to know. Trying to make the jump becomes more enticing every day.

Yeah… (Un)fortunately, everything not AI-related is pretty great in regards to the company, so I’ve decided to stick with it and hopefully still be there after the bubble bursts, unless they try to reassign me to the AI-project, then I’m gone.

I mean… yeah, you would hope that, wouldn’t you? And to be fair, they were selling the product beforehand as well. It’s just apparently a lot easier to sell the AI angle right now.

Understandable. Carry on.

This scream into the void has been on my mind for a while: Apparently I work for an AI company now.

Kinda.

When I had the interviews with my now-employer at the beginning of the year, they were an open-source cybersecurity startup. Everything sounded great, we got along, signed the contract. I took a long vacation before starting the position, and when I got back, I was… amused? bewildered? to find that a), we are no longer open source; and b), we have pivoted, hard, towards AI.

Luckily, I still get to work 100% of the time on the core (cybersecurity) product (which is actually a really good and useful thing, sorry, not going to be more specific), it’s just that part of the dev team, as well as all of marketing and sales, now work on building and selling an AI product built on top of that.

At least it’s not a wrapper around ChatGPT, and does offer something kinda new and actually beneficial, but still, it’s an LLM product.

Now, for the actual scream-into-the-void: Once a month, in a company-wide meeting, I have to observe how people praise LLMs to the the moon, attribute nonsense or downright bugs to something akin to proto-sentience, and give absurd estimates of profitability based on the idea that AI will totally be used everywhere and by everyone, very soon now, you’ll see. What finally prompted (pun intended) me to post this is the CEO yesterday unironically referencing AI 2027’s “predictions”.

Can’t wait for the bubble to burst. I’m really curious to see if I’ll keep my job through that. At the end of the day, the stuff I work on luckily has nothing to do with AI, and basically every other application of the product makes more sense; but now the entire company has shifted gears towards AI…

Thanks for sharing! Sounds about as good/bad as I was expecting. How’s the browser experience? Also, are there any features/tweaks you are aware of that you could not get through Nix, that the more “commercial” Linux device manufacturers have developed for their devices?

Holy crap! A NixOS-on-phone user in the wild! You are rocking my dream setup. How’s your experience been with it? Is it remotely daily drivable for phone things?

+1 for Kagi though. Kagi is awesome.

See kids? This is why you never poke the pencil all the way up your nose.

Ja, worauf ich raus will: bei mir ist das Glas gleichbedeutend mit "lokaler Kleinimker’

Kann ja sein

Ist aber nicht der einzige lokale Imker, bei dem mit dieses Label untergekommen ist.

The fuck? Das ist das Glas, was ich bei unserem 86 Jahre alten Imker alle paar Wochen hole. Die Bienen sind seit 3 Generationen in der Familie.
