But thats just good old hacking, you can already see where software connects and try to see if you can get in.

I'm much more worried about AI made software that is developed so quickly that nobody knows what it does, pdfcraft was published a week ago and it has had 5 releases since then.

Do you mean that bad actors can reverse engineer photoshop and hack its users or that bad actors can whip out plausible photoshop clone with vulnerabilities and backdoors and hack users with that?

Why not just ask for an image?

If I have magic box that can give me anything, I'm not going to ask for tools and materials to build a house, I'm gonna ask for a house.

You can fire people when it makes sense, for example if there is not enough work, but you cant lay off half of your workers and demand that the rest work twice as hard.

In my country we don't have minimum pay in law, but union contract defines minimum pay and they also negotiate collective salary increases. So everyone (even non-union workers) gets higher pay because of unions.

I tried this few weeks ago and there was no authentication on rebuild trigger, so anyone who knows your site url can start build and deploy. I don't know if things have improved since then.

I was in Finland during covid and nobody forced me to take vaccine, but I figured that as healthy middle aged man covid is probably not that bad and if I can handle covid then side effects from vaccine are really nothing.

I don't think that was fair comparison, earlier comment was that creative person can make million dollar art without having million dollar budget, then again creative person can splash paint on canvas while being dead drunk and make most valuable painting.

Most people find it more impressive if you learn to play Dream theater song on guitar than if you program it in daw.

I don't know how things work in your country, but here in europe union sets minimum wage for a position/skill level. If you work more, you get paid more in overtime pay, if you are more skilled, usually you have higher wage.

And atleast in my work, everyone is paid more than minimum.

They need to get permission, but they can work. I did mention that this person wanted all foreigners out.

Its not that they start to feel numb, they didn't care in the first place. I have had random co-workers start talking about how they don't want foreigners in Finland and that in Sweden immigrants (maybe you) get free money and don't work.

Is this a joke? Smartest people on the planet never thought about telling AI to just write better code?

I assume there is already bunch of openclaw rivals, so why bother? Its not like they all become super popular and get bought by openai.

I never had any problem with prusa default filament settings and printing is easy with prusalink or usb stick.

I did quick search and bambu p2s seems to be 30% faster than prusa mk4s and few hundred cheaper. Prusa is more accurate, more open and has better spare parts supply. Bambu doesn't have wifi connection unless I use their cloud?

I'm gonna keep using mk4s.

We had billion dollar AI company install vending machine that was giving stuff away for free, so maybe AI users don't have common sense.
