1·17 days agoIt’s being used at my work a lot, but I’m guessing it’s mostly used as a Google replacement or an auto-complete tool. I know very few people that will generate the majority of their code with AI.

Technology@lemmy.world•One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two YearsEnglish
91·18 days agoFor myself I will say I’ve never done so little gaming in my life. Partially it’s due to personal reasons but also a general depression in these dark times where I just don’t have the giveashits to play.

Technology@lemmy.world•Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurgeEnglish
3·27 days agoAny bad decision that’s made by an exec is usually just met with nods and grins by the workers while they do what’s actually necessary and try only half heartedly to follow their edicts.

13·1 month agoTrump and other dictators are vain (uh, reviving an outdated class of naval ship and naming it after yourself sound familiar?) so they’ll prefer bombers, tanks, and rockets over some little robots with little propellers.

111·1 month agoI probably got a lemon but regardless my XPS (~3 years old) is the worst computer I’ve ever owned. Touchy WiFi, battery that goes from 30 to 3℅ in a matter of seconds, randomly doesn’t detect the keyboard, randomly freezes, randomly doesn’t acknowledge it’s plugged in. Some days I just put it in timeout and use my 10yo netbook instead.
