More and more devs are *forced* to use LLMs for work, because it's more productive, and lots of other reasons. Where I currently work, they measure "adoption" and other metrics, which reminded me of Steve Yegge in a recent Pragmatic Engineer podcast: he was saying that now, burning tokens proves that you're working.
On the other hand, I know quite a few devs who still enjoy programming, but no longer at work.
If you feed somebody's posts into your shitty LLM without an explicit and reversible opt-in, you are violating the consent of fedi users.
This "Zeitgeist" app not only violates consent, but it also doesn't have a centralized ActivityPub identity that can be blocked or defederated.
With a crucial parliamentary vote weeks away, a new report alleges that state security forces attempted to cripple the IT infrastructure of Viktor Orbán’s most formidable political rival.
On dirait que ça y est Signal a trouvé comment me prendre des sous, avec des backups payants. 💸
Ça me rappelle l'époque ou WhatsApp faisait payer $1 le compte après quelques mois d'utilisation gratuite. Pour mémoire, chez WhatsApp, c'était une façon de contrôler la vitesse de croissance de leur app. Ça payait toute l'équipe du projet (jusqu'à ce que Facebook arrive avec 19 milliards). 
AI actually is causing a lot of unemployment in tech.
Not because it has been able to successfully replace anyone's job, but because the big tech companies are all gambling so much on becoming trillionaires that they have to throw tens of thousands of workers into unemployment to pay for it.
