Man that's what I've been asking people all the time: what is our end goal? When will we say "this is enough", we can stop here? If we don't know the answers for these question, then we better find answers before going "forward" blindly.

Maybe that's why some people love rimming? Is that a natural instinct to get more microbiome?

Asking the real questions. I would also really like know how much value AIs are bringing in terms of ARR or MRR.

Imagine people like Sam Altman having access to frontier models without any restrictions that allows them plot strategies to reach their goal in a long term timespan that you don't even realize when it even began.

That's scary. They could fight for censored model for the mass, not for them.

When I read these posts, my mind always pictures a teenage girl fawning over here crush. It just feel immature, childish and overly dramatic.

Still a better language than other myriad of languages with uselessly complicated grammars and rules. And I'm not a native English speaker.

And this is a poor example, because Microsoft wants to be Microsoft.

> That sort of decision making is not done by engineers. You are blaming engineers about product decisions made by management, product management, UIX design, analysts ...

Thank fucking god someone who understand it. Sometime I feel an alien listening people bitch about engineers. A product is not just the result of engineers.

I have better a idea, since everybody need an engineer to build the damn thing, how about we teach non engineer people to talk to engineer people. Why is it always our burden to learn and improve. UX problem, blame the engineer. Comunication problem, blame the engineer. Documentation problem, blame the engineer.

I'm so sick of it. Comunication is a tango. If you - who need the product and are ready to pay for it - don't take your damn time to effectively articulate what are your needs then you should go to school again and learn it.

By the way, since you all non-engineer people are so good at communicating, why are you not communicating effectively your needs?

Bring on the down votes.

If you need external input to improve yourself then I'm wondering if you are ready to be a father. I might sound rude, but it is not my intention. I don't know how else to put it. It is still better than people who never learn this either way.

I bet Google is training their models on videos uploaded on YouTube.

What a joke. People, start putting a license fee on your YouTube videos for AI training. Play their game.

Yes, I like to work hard. But not for 8h a day, 365 days per year and for 40-50 years.

Microsoft, how cheap minded you have to be to understand that you don't need ads? You already had everything you need to grow without slapping ads everywhere.

You had everything great. Xbox, Windows, Office,... and somehow in a short span of time you managed to enshittify everything. Focus on you core strength. Ads is not one of them. And the combination Ads+Ai it is not either. Stop ruining great things. You had - still have - great potential to have a competitive advantage over others yet you fall for these shitty practices.

I believe, if you had the chance, you would put ads on the C# compiler too.

When there is no more physical development? A couple of years after sexuality has been stabilized physically.

Why is that so clear in other animals but not in humans? Every other social construct is just mental gymnastics. We believe we are special and need to do these gymnastics to keep the importance up.

They would've done the math. Even with a class action they will come up positive. It just another bill for them.

I'm gonna put a license fee on all my repos. 10% of revenue if my private repos have been used for AI training. 5% on all my other repos.
