I think, people who say that believe that we’re close to actually-intelligent AI (or artificial general intelligence, AGI). And when we get there, it’s possible that we might suddenly be able to automate lots of complex tasks, possibly even shove it onto robots and have it take on physical labor and things like that.
It’s the wet dream of capitalists, because they don’t need to employ anyone anymore. And I guess, folks are also afraid that such AI could be used for war.
Well, they’re not actually open-source. The models are freely available, but the training data is not, so it’s not actually possible for competitors to reproduce the same result.
Yeah, when they rolled it out, I thought they decided to ship an alpha build, to get ahead of COVID, and they’d finish implementing it over the next half year. Then they just didn’t.
I also remember like a year ago or so, they made a big fuzz about rolling out Teams v2, with a button to go back to v1 and all that. And I still remember when it loaded into v2 the first time, it threw up a loading screen and then… it looked exactly the same as before.
Well, except for that loading screen, that now shows up every time you refresh.
Alternatively, the less proper tool: Record your screen, cropped to the SVG.
GIF, MP4 and such, they’re just a bunch of pixel grids. They don’t care where those pixels came from.
I think, here on Lemmy, there’s relatively many folks who use their computers for other things, given there’s so many techies here…
I was kind of thinking that yesterday when looking at a Rust library. Rust is competent with line numbers, so you don’t really have an incentive for splitting files from that angle, but sometimes, folks just seem to keep adding to their files ad infinitum.
Well, specifically that library has a few files with more than 1k lines. And I hope this one’s the largest at 4k lines: https://docs.rs/git2/latest/src/git2/repo.rs.html
What also needs to be said, is that this library is actually maintained by the Rust language team. Really makes me want to open an issue to tell them that Rust has a pretty cool module system. 🙃
Apparently, a dev on the customer side estimated that he’d need two weeks to implement the whole project (which thankfully our customer representative also laughed at).

Man, I’m currently in a project which started out with 2 major goals. Pretty early on, we got told that one of the goals is practically impossible, so we decided to ignore that. And we realized the other goal needs to be simplified significantly to be achievable in the slightest, although we still weren’t sure, if it violates the laws of physics.
Now we’re a year into development, we’ve only figured out that it might be physically possible in certain situations. And yesterday, we talked to a guy with domain knowledge, who told us like ten different bigger challenges we’d still have to solve.
