The CEO of Ford drives a Xaomi. He could have any car he wanted, and he chooses a Chinese car. It’s ostensibly for market research but he’s said he really doesn’t want to give it up. So yeah they’re cheap, and also I think China might just genuinely make better cars at this point. While China has been investing into manufacturing and consumer tech the big three have been dragging their heels and kicking and screaming because they see engineers as cost centers and that is biting them in the ass as well.

“Everybody pees too but if you’re doing it 50 times a day something is probably wrong”

We made it lemmy

And then, when they observe that there’s a lot of congestion (on account of all the people who insist on driving into the city from the suburbs), they complain that there are too many people. The circularity is beautiful.

They wouldn’t sue, they’d just co-opt it. Embrace, extend, extinguish is Microsoft’s MO for a reason, it works.

They profiled you based on your activity and algorithmically decided you probably weren’t a kid

That’s why I only watch respectable length content, like WTYP’s 12 hour 3-parter about the titanic

so many creators are pandering to shorts. Its disgusting,

move out, team

The hallucinations are real. I don’t use them for longer stuff, I demand admin time for anything that’s longer than a paragraph. But for quick office politics type stuff that I don’t really care about but also need to not get ground under and also worry about coming off as blunt I’m kinda grateful to have it.

I have noticed that damn near every email I get that’s longer than a paragraph seems to come from copilot though.

Tbh I’m starting to fantasize about switching to a trade. Front line office work is for the birds.

Copilot is okay at being a copy editor for my work emails. I struggle with tone so its nice to have a built in thingy that strips my personality out of my emails. Specifically my emails to my supervisor.

For example, “hi supervisor, I checked and that email was sent an hour ahead of the deadline from the email you sent me on date x and I was waiting on access to y. What the hell are you ccing your bosses on this for,” turns into “something something per your previous email something, if I misunderstood something something, thank you for your guidance.”

In a perfect world I would have time to write all my own emails but my job is very… Communication heavy, let’s say, and I personally have a lot of work to do directly with clients that can’t simply be put off.

Tbf they’re the only ones using the agentic features, and they’re definitely the only ones using frontier models for it. That shit gets expensive fast.

The maintainer of the project probably won’t see it here, but that repo does appear to be fairly active, they’ve got thousands of merged PRs. If you contribute a better logo they might replace the AI one.

The use of color here is brilliant. I love the design of these comics.

Hmm, in my city the kerb is painted white and theres signs that say NO PARKING. Cops don’t seem to care though so what do I know

Yeah season 21 is crazy, they took a hard sci fi turn about 10 seasons ago and now everyone is split up. They made a whole cinematic universe and its very confusing. Jim was a CIA agent for a while and now he’s a post apocalyptic survivor. IMO they’re making the character do too much, bir I guess that’s what happens when you run out of ideas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obligatory

Every time I try to use reddit when it comes up in search results they slam the door in my face with pop ups demanding I install the app or log in. Can anyone even access enough content on reddit to convince them to join anymore?

I feel like I also see a lot of cars parked in taxi stands and loading zones, which leads me to think car owners don’t think about anyone else, including other car drivers. Taxi stands are at their core congestion relief because the alternative is double parking and hunting for free kerb space. Its almost always big trucks too. I wonder why.
