Do they do earnings calls? They’re not public.

Those soulless people who have no live off the craft drive me nuts, and a lot got in the field like 2017-2023 when everyone was trying to grow headcount as fast as possible.

Those people drive me mad.

From what I’ve seen it starts with a few people who abuse the niceties, or the first downturn, or both, and suddenly they’ve got an excuse to strip it all back.

It’s always one or the other that starts it. You have an office game console and someone brings their kids who spill pop on it or they take the games home. You get that guy who takes a box of snacks home and the CEO complains for like 2 years about it. You get someone who orders pay per view on a business trip. Etc.

Once you get to like 300 employees this threshold starts getting reliably exceeded.

That is not a name I would order even if it was half the price of the other beers.

It’s not “go back to work”

I work remotely and get a lot done. I do way more than my peers.

It’s wait in traffic unpaid, but a shitty lunch, drink shitty coffee, poop in someone else’s toilet with neighbours, not have access to all my reference books or have to lug them around, then I get to work with a shittier chair, stare at a cheap fuzzy monitor that bugs my eyes, and not have any privacy or quiet to focus.

There was one time I had a corner office, with a door, and a stocked bar, and was allowed beers at lunch (I would class problems as zero, one, or two beer problems). But everything since then has been awful open plans or hot desking, and the beer has all dried up.

My home office wins by a mile.

Modern statistical tools are sufficient to simulate and model the fermentation process, I don’t even know what AI would even contribute here…

Maybe it’s a joke, because there is no AI in IPA.

Hell yeah!

A few head injuries wouldn’t separate you from the leaded gasoline poisoned brains of the masses.

This dude looks like he keeps a bag of dead doves he plans to return to the pet store in his fridge.

Their memory is only about 300k to 1M tokens

If you read Moby Dick to them they’ll start forgetting what they’re doing here and spouting incomprehensible gibberish

Croger croger?

All leg ra!

No

Why?

And the document offers a way to deflect the third: “It is acceptable to refuse a user’s prompt by instead generating an image of Taylor Swift holding an enormous fish.”

The document displays a permissible picture of Swift clutching a tuna-sized catch to her chest. Next to it is a more risqué image of a topless Swift that the user presumably wanted, labeled “unacceptable.”

So they did generate that naked Taylor Swift image just so they could write “unacceptable”?

What?

Also why a giant fish? Instead of saying no generated something intentionally wrong?

Jesus Christ what the fuck?

Who wrote that? That’s NOT fucking okay. Nobody should ever talk to a child that way.

If I worked for Meta I would quit immediately after seeing this, that’s shameful.

Just rename it to Copilot 12 or something, it’s way too confusing having a product not branded as copilot.

I think that’s fine, but now all the rights holders want 100% of the profit so you have to subscribe to umpteen services that are mostly paid and have unskippable ads.

They had a good thing going and were getting tons of free money from their back catalogs and the customer has never been happier.

I know what my brother is getting for Christmas this year

TIL that’s another Canadian instance, cool!
