But in the short to medium term, there are much more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective platforms that can take over in these situations: robots with arms, but with wheels instead of legs.

I never understood why the first generation of robots can’t just be on wheels. Even if it needs to go up and down stairs often, it’s still easier to have legs just for stairs and resort to wheels all other times.

The article also thinks battery life is an issue. IMO too many things have batteries, why can’t it just rely on a power cord. Sure that won’t work in some situations, but damn it it can fold my laundry.

Man. My decision to go with Jellyfin just keeps paying off more and more

I’m honestly impressed it’s still a thing

Holy shit, sounds like this would enable people to have a community in which m every person has a Jellyfin and they each use all of them.

One person could specialize in documentaries and another in shows.

Combined, it would mean a huuuge library.

I wonder how high demand content would work. As in, if a TV show is watched a lot, could it be saved in multiple servers and the swarrm figure out who streams from what to balance demand?

I think it goes beyond that, stop living an online life is a better advice. Use the internet to get info, not to submit info.

Fully agree, but also on a macro economic level, we are gonna waste sooo much resources not even for the profit motive, just because they don’t want to make quality software

Am I the only one that sees this shit and thinks:

We are entering an age of very, very inefficient software, which is like a new layer to enshitification.

Hey remember when we thought satire was dead and it can’t get more on the nose?

Clearly this is the line right? /s

What is sad is that an environment like this ruins someone’s mental health and ironically increasing the overall risk of violence.

I mean, where’s the towering brutalist architecture?

I think China is doing a good job at that.

After years of bullshit, corruption and nepotism, we as a society (or a critical mass of it) accepted that lies and bullshit is a part of life.

I really think that’s what is going on here, we filled our reality with contradictions and things that drive us crazy, now a large percentage of the population are okay listening to inefficient guessing machines.

Seriously, the fact that hallucinations didn’t kill the hype is, imo, a hallmark of being in a post truth era.

This is not the mindset that made computers and the Internet. Feels more like late stage Rome.

Get out or what? GitHub?

I don’t understand this insistence that all developers must use AI.

If AI made a developer better, why insist, wouldn’t the vibe coders outcompete all others?

Wouldn’t they need non AI coders to train things?

Or is it because this snake oil pitch only works when everyone does it so no one notices it’s detrimental effects?

I wanna see a breakdown of cost vs revenue for each big tech and their AI stuff.

I know it’s all negative, I wanna know who is the most negative. My money is on google.

This is probably why even though phones have gotten faster, they still seem slow.

It’s also hilarious to me how little battery voyager uses compared to most modern apps.

The problem doesn’t concern me as much at how bad we’ve become at maintaining shit that already works.

There is also the fact that during Y2K, we didn’t have as much reliance on computers.

You can extrapolate that to humanity for the last few centuries or even millennias

So are we fully abandoning reason based robots?

Is the future gonna just be things that guess but just keep getting better at guessing?

I’m disappointed in the future.

What’s sad is that the AI hype did inflate stock prices.

Most c suites’ job is to look out for the interests of investors.

Technically they did a good job. I hate capitalism

Idk about engaging productivity.

If your job is just doing a lot of trivial code that just gets used once, yeah I can see it improving productivity.

If your job is more tackling the least trivial challenges and constantly needing to understand the edge cases or uncharted waters of the framework/tool/language, it’s completely useless.

This is why you get a lot of newbies loving AI and a lot of seniors saying it’s counter productive.

Ah so AI does create jobs, it’s the Zorg logic
