There’s already a noticeable drop in quality. I bought a big Mac meal recently for the first time in a while, the fries were like toothpicks, and the large fries seemed much smaller than I recall.

The burger had the tiniest dollop of sauce and the patties were so thin they barely held their shape.

I know it’s all purely anecdotal, but for years I was hooked on their hash browns until they changed the recipe… And now I can’t stand them but at least I’m losing weight so that’s good haha

The article is from a month ago, about a layoff that happened half a month before that, so this all happened before the ai rollout when they were probably still optimistic it was a good idea

I was recently asked to make a small Android app using flutter, which I had never touched before

I used chatgpt at first and it was so painful to get correct answers, but then made an agent or whatever it’s called where I gave it instructions saying it was a flutter Dev and gave it a bunch of specifics about what I was working on

Suddenly it became really useful…I could throw it chunks of code and it would just straight away tell me where the error was and what I needed to change

I could ask it to write me an example method for something that I could then easily adapt for my use

One thing I would do would be ask it to write a method to do X, while I was writing the part that would use that method.

This wasn’t a big project and the whole thing took less than 40 hours, but for me to pick up a new language, setup the development environment, and make a working app for a specific task in 40 hours was a huge deal to me… I think without chatgpt, just learning all the basics and debugging would have taken more than 40 hours alone

In other words, a big customer finally got effected

Did they really need ai for that? Surely if they needed a script they could have just asked on stack overfl…oh

Well let’s face it … if it wasn’t for the sanctions, these companies would probably still be in business there because they have zero morals… So yeah once the dust settles they’ll waste no time in trying to get back in there

The same oil refineries which they have sanctions on so people won’t buy from? Those ones?

The difference is that there were concerns Huawei would share the data with the Chinese government for them to spy on various groups/individuals

Most countries like America have no problem with you selling the data to other companies or governments (the US Gov themselves buy huge amounts of data) to spy on you, just not to the Chinese government.

So if the data stays with Toyota (or the people they sell it to), they aren’t likely to upset the governments… But if the data is directly shared with Huawei, it’s likely to run into some pretty quick walls

And how many payments the politicians take from local/competing car companies haha

Will probably depend on if the data stays with Toyota or is shared with Huawei

Even more ironic is a bunch of the delays were caused by Australia demanding the French change the designs from nuclear to diesel

Police found 432 Chinese nationals, 371 Filipinos, 57 Vietnamese, eight Malaysians, three Taiwanese, two Indonesians and two Rwandans at the site.

That’s insane

You know how artists can poison their images for AI… We need a way to poison content on Reddit

Not just interviewing Hitler, but only asking the questions Hitler wanted, and then urging the world to listen because everybody needs to hear his side

It’s not even a named commenter… just “one commenter said…”

It was the IT crowd, a TV show, not real life
