Kept seeing this as a meme and thought I should try it out too #chatgpt

So maybe I should have read through The Book all the way to the end before rage quitting #rustlang

My biggest problem was smart pointers and I never made it past chapter 10

They're running out of ideas and all they've got left is hype to try to keep their share prices high, and convince VCs to throw money at them

There's this growing trend of tech companies announcing features and products that are months away and I think that's just a big sign that something is off.

We heard about Apple Intelligence back in June or something but the new iPhones won't even have it when they're released

Ever since I read Erik Larson's The Myth of AI, I just can't take any kind of AI hype seriously.

Plus, the tech industry has been drumming up more hype than actually innovating lately

Seriously though: I want (okay, demand) a version of Firefox with the "AI chatbot" functionality removed. Not disabled. Removed. I want all code which is specifically designed to connect to OpenAI removed from my computer completely. I do not care if the vampires have promised not to suck my blood. I do not want the vampires in my house in the first place.

Eryk Salvaggio says we must dispense with myths if we are to think more clearly about what AI actually is and does.

I have been using Pop Shell on #gnome and the tiling and navigation were pretty great. But I just switched to #kde on a whim and I am looking for a similar tiling solution.

I would also very much prefer a solution that has a package in nixpkgs. I'm not at the point where I'm ready to use GitHub repos directly or something like that. I only just started trying to figure out how to get everything set up in plasma manager

I think I really like #elixir

It's early days, but I've already got a #phoenix project planned out that I'm hoping to finish this month. It should cover most of what I think I'd need to know how to do before I can confidently put Elixir on my GitHub
