Hmm I actually recall multiple high profile rounds of layoffs citing AI as the primary reason behind them. I guess they must have misspoken.

Windows hate train looks fun, but as someone who works in the industry, most of that code is probably just unit tests and boilerplate stuff.

Copilot is decent at quickly writing huge amounts of tedious unit test code, requiring minimal tweaks. And since Microsoft works with languages like C# and .NET for their native apps, and likely backend too, there is quite a bit of verbosity that Copilot can take care of.

No real code is AI-generated. He’s just saying shit like this to keep idiot investors happy.

I don’t know how good this feature was on Duolingo, but there’s a site/app called HiNative that does a really good job at this sort of thing.

I haven’t encountered this luckily. The only use case I can imagine is syncing alarms and timers across devices? But…I use timers for working, and alarms for waking up. I don’t really want those to sync across devices. And it doesn’t really seem worth a backup - it takes 30 seconds to set a new alarm.

Every time I’m given a captcha, which is often since I’m on a VPN, I intentionally get the first few wrong, just to do my part to poison their data.
