Considering this is a very small lay off, was handled extremely well and provided proper offers for staff to choose to leave instead of just surprising people. I wouldn’t call this a cash grab by literally any real means. Companies do lay offs, its normal. The only stated claim here is that AI is fucking the market and they are downsizing.

Which it is. Thats litterally just facts.

Theres nothing to indicate here least i can see, that says they are force rolling out AI to cash in on a quick buck.

His point is this is the frediverse and blind hatred of ai with zero nuance and no room for context or discussion is easy updoots. So gotta farm em while they are fresh.

To be fair this does suck, but from what im seeing here theres nothing to indicate that it isn’t anything more then a bog standard lay off. Ai is teh reason this time but its no different then any other lay off. They suck, but its not like they are axing 50% of their work force on purpose to replace them with ai.

They also seem to be giving out proper compenstation and even offered people the choice first before doing forced lay offs. Which is about as professional as you can expect from a company doing any form of lay offs.

Im sorry for the suffering, pain and massive waste of your free time and sanity you are about to experience. May you come out the other side a stronger person.

I would absolutely fucking be down for tea time with flutterbutt. BUT ONLY IF I GET TO PET ANGEL RABBIT. I love me sum buns.

You have a r in your name. So do i! ARE WE COMPLICIT!!!11!1! DUN DUN DUUUN.

I am very tired this is a stupid joke. No i wont say sorry. But i do need more nyquil.

Honestly the jump to psyop just comes across someone too out of touch with reality to understand the fuck people are.

Like mother fucker, what do you think is more likely. Lazy, depressed, and self-defeating people being tired and dooming? Or a coordinated psyop across the entire internet that lines up perfectly with the exact same shit people have been saying, doing and dooming about since the 1900s.

Like get out of your house and talk to some normal people, you will realize this isn’t a psyop. People are ACTUALLY just that tired or stupid.

That said there is obviously bots going around trying to influence things. But they are more just pushing people in directions they already lay.

Thinking isn’t the strong suit of most people …

Surprised its not lower. Oklahoma always finds a way to surprise!

I’ve never understood how a oath somehow creates a form of credibility with out some other proof to back it up

It’s still just words. I know lying under oath is a crime and all that. But when most shit just gets settled and rarely actually has teeth towards the rich or famous.

It feels like an oath is just a pretend make believe thing that only the deranged actually think is real.

Ai is pretty good at sucking proverbial and metaphorical dick.

Also generating subtitles for my mother’s foreign films I guess?

It’s painfully just ok at most tasks. It’s a someone useful tool at a local level with small models doing extremely narrow tasks.

But anyone who thinks these giant models are remotely beyond just a glorified over priced hobby toy is… Questionably sane.

They are fun to play with in the same sorta way playing with explosives is.

I feel like if sam just fucked off. Ai would be smarter, more useful, and less problematic basically over night.

May this one introduce you to the wonders of Chinese court register and hornorifics.

Everything is described by exact name, title or description.

Its wonderful and removes literally all confusion.

Also you get to sound super wise.

If I had a nickel for every liberal Texan I’ve seen or known for a Fluttershy pfp. I would have like 2 dollars.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF YOU?!

There’s three kinds of Californians.

The rich idiots who made California California and then keep leaving to make other places California.

Then us poors who are stuck here dealing with everything designed for the rich barely scraping by hoping to God we can see tomorrow.

Then there’s whatever the hell’s going on in the Central valley… We don’t talk about it.

That’s what you think everyone is always talking about lizard men when secretly it’s actually dolphin people spreading propaganda to throw off the trail of those of us who know that it’s really the dolphin people.

Good news, everyone is doing it!

Time to return to monkey and do things properly.

With gentoo.

Can?! Oh boy they do more then can! Dolphins are terrible people.

The f*** are you talking about this pictures like 20 years old… There’s yet another layer of AI filter on top of it sure. Put this picture probably as older than a good chunk of people on the internet at this point lol

Flexibility and diversification is annoying to manage but tends to be the best situation over all.

Proton does things right generally speaking, it’s just ran by an absolute idiot.

So you also have to weigh are your morals and expectations here reasonable to your own acceptance level. Vs your own requirements of the service at hand.

There are plenty of reasons to need a VPN that the extra security and privacy guarantee are beyond worthless. And in those cases staying in proton doesn’t make since if your morals go against the company.

While if you absolutely need that privacy and guarantee switching is a very real risk.

Plenty of people like having privacy but for some it’s actively a life or death situation. So you have to make that call. Where do you sit on that spectrum, and are your morals important enough to take the risk if your on the extreme end?

For most people who aren’t, switching is just a formality and technical consideration.

Your not entirely wrong. It’s mostly the fact, that even with e2e your still relying on their word that they aren’t doing something shady or do something stupid. There’s no external force keeping them honest.

One is none two is one. Someone’s word is good but someone’s word, and another keeping them honest is better.

If your going to trust someone else it’s better some form of equality in the deal. As a consumer to a corp that’s basically impossible with out a legal enforcement layer.
