Yeah, lemmy is really a hell of an echo chamber on certain topics. I see both pros and cons to AI, and that balanced view makes me literally the most anti-AI person in my social circle.

They were a few hundred million in debt. That’s gonna need more than a reorg to handle.

What market share? The article is very explicit that irobot went broke due to competition.

Social safety nets are very much a regional issue, depending on the country they’ve actually improved.

Housing & cost of living is something that affects everybody equally, so it’s somewhat weird to bring it up when discussing a particular profession. We’re ALL having trouble buying a house.

Rise of hostile music distribution services… Major studios and music distributors have ALWAYS taken advantage of the power imbalance to shaft musicians.

There’s not many alternatives for kids

Take a Claritin, you’ll get over it

All it needs is enough tech ability to run a few docker commands. That has absolutely nothing to do with LLMs. Not to mention the horrifying intrusion on our rights by limiting what we can host.

It actually is mentioned in the sidebar, though they should make it a hotlink

The last time that happened to me, the delivery service refunded that item, so it was actually mildly enjoyable.

That’s a hell of a goalpost move. And anyway the accountability issue was already brought up. See https://sh.itjust.works/comment/22111884

Doesn’t really answer the question for people like me who didn’t follow their every action

I main Linux. I’ve been using it for over 2 decades. I’m speaking from personal experience when I say that if you think Linux was mainstream ready prior to the last few years, you have no idea what the average pc user is incapable of.
