man, can you imagine a world where we poured 1, 10, or 252 BILLION dollars[1] into maintaining/developing open source, programming languages, dev tools, teaching material, documentation, etc?

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

I know the headline everyone's running with is "erotica" but "we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" and "we are putting personality back in ChatGPT so it will act like a friend" are diametrically opposed statements

Generative AI, specifically, is a newer tech. But we already have mountains of research on algorithmic bias & the perils of putting ML in charge of decision making (especially when human lives are at stake).

Yet more companies laying off employees not because AI is replacing them, but because they need more money to fund their AI. I can't remember the last time I saw sunk cost fallacy at this scale.

It’s incredibly noticeable how often ‘and an army of outsourcers outside America and Western Europe’ is left out of these team sizes. That’s the part I find real uncomfortable.
This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?
It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

AI real talk. We (humanity) are moving full speed ahead at building AI agents for war that can create a runaway missile crisis of mutually assured destruction globally.
Is the option of not allowing AI agents to deploy missiles already off the table, or is that still up for discussion?
