  1. 3:09 Why does every politician that's against encryption look like a bridge troll that got rich and cleaned up

  2. Me playing text adventure game: "Add bird to inventory" ChatGPT: "I'm sorry, as an AI Language, I cannot promote adding live animals to confined spaces" *Flags chat and issues ban notice (True story)

  3. Easy fix. We all just become CEOs.

  4. I've made existing os models do this in Tavern and had them automatically abuse me after asking them basic coding questions. Just give it some basic character traits: - neckbeard - insecure - no friends - lv1000 hallmonitor energy

  5. "I'll believe it when I see it" is really the key learning lesson from ai news over the past year. Fireship is honestly one of the few rare tech youtubers to emphasise this and look at real world examples. Looking at my recommendations as i type this and theres about a dozen other youtubers doing BJ/meth addict faces in thumbnails saying gemini will make everyone unemployed/kill openai.

  6. Definitely won't be one of the soi bois on reddit to make it.

  7. Imagine crying about 'selling out' and sponsors in 2024 on YouTube. Are kids watching this channel too now?

  8.  @beastfromtheeast7  Let's not kid ourselves, a good chunk of conversational os model advancements, improvements and interest is driven by smutbots. Otherwise, no one would bother with anything else apart from gpt. If OpenAi were to make their models uncensored, interest in open source models would hit the floor overnight (apart for maybe coding & image/voice/video models)

  9.  @ranndino  Honestly as a programmer I kept worrying about this when the ai hype went into overdrive a few weeks ago. Now I am just entertained and don't mind if I am next (if that even happens). Our society is built on a house of cards that prop up only a select few individuals and it is interesting watching it slowly crumble. It will start at the bottom and eventually reach the top till people who reside there can no longer ignore it. Once it reaches that point it will be peak entertainment, so yeah, I have my popcorn ready and I am enjoying the ride too. Also lets be honest, watching low level managers and HRs lose their jobs is beyond satisfying, more so than buzzfeed or vice editors.

  10. Commercial AI has too many safety checks and effectively too much of a good conscience to be a CEO.

  11.  @DarkLightProjector  we're all coping right now, some better than others. I'm not sure what you point is or if this was some sort of attempt at a sick burn. I'm sure it sounded clever in your own head while typing it out and liking your own comment.

  12. I've seen this at so many companies. 10x chad quietly coding away at their desk while the rest of chad's team spend 70% of the day around the coffee machine, doing yoga in quiet rooms, talking sht...etc. Team get's screwed when another company offers chad 50% extra pay and they leave with a silo of knowledge the the rest of their incompetent team know nothing about.

  13. humour not found either

  14. Google is just a reddit search engine in 2024....every other search just returns mostly adds and irrelevant results you didn't ask for. Even they know this as well...hence their recent deal with reddit.

  15. As usual, it's not the tech but untouchable people running it and potentially abusing it that's the issue. Even if corporations and governments are caught abusing it they usually just get a slap on the wrist, which is what the real issue is. The tech itself could be incredibly convenient. This is why we can't have nice things.

  16. Even doing NOTHING would have helped. By that I mean just leaving the old ui alone, as outdated as that is too... at least it's not an annoying piece of shyte like the new UI. Heck, a good chunk of older users still use it and will probably quit cold turkey if reddit turns off the ability to opt out of the new ui. They also need to get rid rid of the cancer that is google amp from their site (Seriously, it's like the guys who made every new ui decision were on bath salts or something)

  17.  @d9zirable  UBI only works if a tiny portion of the population is unemployed while the remaining working population fund it via taxes. At this stage, the only remaining people seem to be CEOs and Board members who want to replace us all. The economy will collapse unless we rework a lot of things...not just ubi.

  18. Holy fkn sht....it's like this is the first channel to acknowledge Techlead is a satire channel just trolling people. The amount of big name drama youtubers and tech bros taking him 100% seriously are shocking.

  19. What are the odds that this is because the developers blindly used ai extensively when writing code? People predicted this would happen, devs getting lazy not reading code that ai produces, blindly copy-pasting as long as it 'works'. Eitherway, this is probably a lucrative time to be a hacker.

  20. Pretty sure the amounts they spent in legal fees and political donations to get their way is a LOT higher than that amount. NZ didn't pull a backflip for free.

  21. People knew this would happen after they started making chips for self driving cars years ago as well as many other non gaming projects. LLM ai threw gasoline on their trajectory.

  22. It took being laid off after 10 years of continuous work to take care of number 9. My health, sleep, mental health took a nose dive after the pandemic and staying home all day. Started getting random infections and fevers too after a lifetime of never being sick. Got jacked within a few months after the layoff, got better sleep, focus improved and you really feel like a better dev. Got a 30% pay rise in a new job as well, but reduced my hours to 4 days a week to focus more on hobbies and side projects. Happiest I've ever been in life. Made me reflect a bit on number 10 too... more so in our industry, a company can lay you off after several years of service, even if you're an important part of the business. What we do doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things and you gotta look out for yourself.

  23. Turbo is cheaper but not better... atleast for code. People have reported it being more dumbed down after openai broke it up into smaller models behind the scenes for better scaling/speed, and all the safety compliance checks piled on to it. I spend more time trying to troubleshoot bugs in it's output. OG gpt4 could build bug free code and, eerily, entire applications more consistently.

  24. Hospitals are filled with bureaucracy, old fart higher ups and people that think security isn't worth investing in..as are most medical establishments including dentists. I've seen a few of these places still use windows xp and even older systems. I'm surprised hackers didn't start going for them them sooner.

  25. You mean CEOs and CFOs. Most managers don't care about or even know what tools you use for the most part.

  26. Competition is still good for consumers. Where I live all apple laptops and ipads just started going for 20% off...on top of existing discounts, which is unheard of. Apple knows there is still a possibility for microsoft to catch up and want people on their ecosystem asap.

  27. Advanced UI : more rounded corners and bringing back drop shadows for a 3rd time

  28. In the end only the JS community and fireship will have jobs because Ai models will always be one step behind them with outdated training data.

  29. The irrational cope and anger from some people over this sponsored deal really gives some insight into why teachlead may have turned on his audience and turned into a troll. Youtube commenters truely are gormless turning on creators over silly shit, might as well prioritise that bag instead of keeping a bunch of borderline middle schoolers happy.

  30. No shit Sherlock, this is how most apps get successful. Software devs like you will never get it as you stew in a corner wondering why no one appreciates your overcomplicated project while praising frontend devs for adding a shiny ui to it a few months later. People are lazy, have short attention spans and value convenience and good ux. creating something that gets this right is a skill in itself. You could have a groundbreaking app but fewer people are going to touch it if there are too many hoops to jump through, only partially does what a suer wants or is not easy to use.

  31. Nah, investors hit the "show me you're profitable or we're taking our money elsewhere button". Happening in nearly every tech company, even no-name mid-sized ones. Many tech companies have been operating at a loss for years or barely any profit to warrant their share prices. Companies are starting to panic and shakedown their userbases.

  32. Can't wait for part 2 of this now that more companies are laying off devs in favour of a handful of staff using chatgpt thinking productivity will be the same. As a contractor I've seen major banks, insurance companies and telcos do this and we now have mass outages or security breaches every 2 weeks where I live. It's lead to an increase in 'system reliability expert' jobs instead of companies and governments holding c-level staff responsible for making drastic changes to show artificial temporary profits.

  33. People sure seem to love throwing money at extreme right and extreme left 'influencers'. No different then muppets that pay for evangelists' private jets.

  34.  @stevenmatosu9321  Nah, I don't think he cares about views. Pretty sure he got genuinely upset about people taking him seriously over every minor satire video trying to cancel him and snapped, going full troll mode. Seems like he made enough money off crypto to not care about youtube anymore since abusing the copyright system as a large youtuber can potentially get you banned.

  35. But early enough to play "Guess who's not a zoomer"

  36. I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for that vice javascript article before realising it was satire.

  37. ​ @dylancounte1448  Why are nerds like you unable to control your emotions and make yourselves look like clowns....settle down kid. I'm talking about more companies using ARM chips and giving apple competition...not the Ai bs, which people will push back on anyway. Wierdo.

  38.  @harshmehta329  And yet many people clicked on this video instead. Theres a lot of people on the Ai hype bandwagon reporting on the same thing and many of them have no clue what they are talking about, just reading off news articles form a single source. Between clicking on a bj face thumbnail and a non bj faced one, I'm going to click on the latter that relies on their reputation of providing good accurate entertaining content rather than clickbait thumbnails & titles when it comes to news about something I want to learn about.

  39.  @DarkLightProjector  Kid, the adults with actual jobs are having a discussion. Go fail at trying to be a funny troll elsewhere. Your half baked attempts at insults are embarrassing.

  40.  @Owglass  biomed students aren't safe either. Only plumbers and construction, ...for now.

  41. Guess those claims about investors trying to fire OpenAi's CEO because he was hiding more powerful features had some truth to them after all.

  42. Metaverse could have worked if they focused on it when ai was in a more mature state. The version they put forward looked like a crappy over-simplified cash grab game some 'influencer' would have dredged up.

  43. Any industry that makes a lot of money attracts parasites that don't care about said industry. These are in the form of project managers, team leads, C-levels and even a few devs, that do goofy unreasonable shit chasing a promotion once they're hired. These are the people that make programmers unhappy, not the profession itself.

  44. Every single programmer I've worked alongside in my 10 years in the field has either fucked off to management or some form of ops/admin work. lol.

  45. ​ @eightcoins4401  Who said anything about Ai replacing developers...over a text to image model video?.. Honestly you sound like the type of low level dev that actually will be replaced if your comprehension skills are this bad.

  46. Who is surprised? Nintendo's legal team went after a kid back in the day that made a shitty pacman clone for a school project. They even passive aggressively dissed the kid's teacher in the cease and desist letter for being 'irresponsible' and allowing this. I'm convinced the legal team consists of ex-yakuza meth addicts at this point.

  47. This is the only way left and right wing Americans will come together and maybe shut up once and for all. Like those middle earth stories where someone marries an elf to bring peace between 2 nations/races. Though I don't know how is the elf here.

  48. Sadly this seems to have been debunked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHPFphlzwdQ

  49.  @fltfathin  They don't document enough because they are relied on as a crutch and immediately get thrown into a new project once they are done with the old. Put them in a supportive team with decent delivery practices that actually MAKE time for documentation and this issue goes out the window. Most 10x devs naturally care about documentation and maintaining code quality.

  50. Wouldn't surprise me if this was a sponsored targeting, either by government bodies or some sort of corporation.
