why not? they're beholden to the shareholders. what do the shareholders care about safety?

what the fuck? I had no idea about this. I never opted into this.

one of the programs that we use everyday at work recently added an AI coding tool. I was going to announce it to the team when I noticed with the usual disclaimers about ensuring you know what the macros are doing, but then just deleted my message.

we're not a team of programmers, and there's only one or two people on my team that I would trust to write code that could potentially cause us days of rework and tons of thousands of dollars lost to the company.

those other people don't need an AI coding tool, because they can't code in the first place, and those aren't the people that I want modifying thousands of files at once when I know that they barely review the work they're doing manually already and I have tools in place to semi-automate that review for them.

that's fine, I'll just stop flying. plenty for me to do that doesn't require it.

okay so I guess I'm not flying Delta

glad I splurged and bought a 4070 when cross shopping with a 3060

glad I bought 16GB more ram on a whim bc I knew I wasn't going to pay for a new mobo any time soon

glad I bought a couple 2TB SSDs when streaming services could not longer provide me an experience worth paying for

glad I don't care to play the newest AAA games or watch shows/movies as soon as they come out

I've got several computers in pieces and two other old af ones now running Linux perfectly fine

the problem is not the hardware. the problem is the inefficient software that requires you to get better hardware.

how would you communicate information and questions with screenshots and simple graphics? what's the better way?

word docs are, well, done in Word. enough said.

plain text doesn't have graphics

PowerPoint is a simple slideshow tool to put info into one file without using multiple tools. certainly saves us a ton of time because we can just fire off a power point that took somebody 45 minutes to make (30 of which was finding and documenting the concerns and would have to happen anyways) instead of put a dozen people into a meeting and force an on the spot answer. and then we get written responses, so we don't have to separately document a decision being made.

edit: I guess I should add the context that I'm not in the line of work that the meme is addressing. I'm in an engineering related field, and my meetings and discussions are not businessy things. they're technical

to be fair, the scale of pretty much any global industry is incomprehensible to most people

my experience - list for what you want to get, and just ignore people who annoy you

for items you want to give away for free, mark them as $10 or $20 and then just give them for free when they show up

you forgot the $10K in labour to handle the backups

changes everything on that $19M budget!
