I develop software, architect solutions in the cloud, and try to not be as distracted as a dog chasing cars.
This has been my experience as well. Each time I point out the issues I am told the equivalent of “but it works on my machine”.

No it is still going strong on my feed. 😢

I look forward to reading it!

Yes!!! This is excellent news!

Thanks for the link @robbowley.net ! This looks very interesting. I have tons of respect for Yann Lecun, he seems one of the very few experts not having LLM Rabies

Agreed. I would also love to see the UK pull its head out of its backside and move closer to our largest trading block which has always been the EU.

As you say, no need to go jumping off the cliff and playing along with a trade war. Or at least take the time to think it all through.

THANK YOU!!! I posted on LinkedIn this morning about exactly why this is wrong and then of course the goal posts were shifted in the comments to "But a manager hiring engineers do not care or review the code". I weep every day seeing these arguments being made 🤦

100% this! I keep getting people telling me that LLMs can reason like humans and can think. This from very accomplished tech professionals. I am starting to fear that the cool-aid have been gulped down by way too many. What is good to help the human understand is even better for the AI.

Forget the hype, focus on the engineering and facts.

In the end it is a different way of engineering and there is a massive amount of new areas to get familiar with and build competency in. It is a new challenge, which looks different to the old challenge, but damn interesting to work in. It is magical and frustrating in equal measures.

Why in the name of all that is sweet and holy can we not just admit this mistake and move closer to our biggest trading partners and cultural partners in the world?!! It baffles me.

It is the three singles they have. More are added as they are mastered and released.

Looks like there were some changes by the Google Product team and this has been happening to everyone that is on PAYG. Not a pretty sight at all

It absolutely sucks.

That was my experience when I lived in Germany. We had to order from Apple and pay the price. :(

This looks awesome!! Thank you @davidberenstein.bsky.social

Absolute legend!

No problem at all. I am of the opinion that "every little bit helps" when making it more difficult for people to encrouch on our privacy.
