A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Who the fuck wants this

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The people working in the ai department

They’re happy to have a job, but I’m not so sure they’re really happy to see their talents wasted on something like this. It’s the executives and investors who wanted this. Do they even know what they’re asking for…

Literally every billionaire. The slop rots your brain. All modern ux is an attack.

I was going to make a joke about them selling a contraption to just strap a screen to your face so we could reach peak brain rot, but then I remembered the Quest exists.

Seriously speaking: Why is anybody still using any of their sites?

Network effect

And dopamine effect. And conflict creates intrigue. They weren't geniuses. They just accidentally stumbled on a machine that was addictive.

Dead internet theory has been becoming more like a reality. Or did it already happen?

What's about the term "Vibe", that is connected to Ai? In example programming using Ai (without coding, just ask to code for you) is called "Vibe Coding".

Vibe means something like "the feel" or "the atmosphere". You provide the general idea of what you want (the vibes) and the AI fills in the gaps... Typically with slop created by training off of stolen work.
