Man, I'd love to be that blissfully ignorant and naive.

You know, there just might be ways to structure our society so that businesses can be profitable without destroying the whole planet. But I guess that's commie talk.

Holy idiotic assumption from hell batman. And a huge side helping of whatabboutism garnished with the biggest lump of straw man I've ever seen.

That's a SHITLOAD of stupid in one reply. I'm honestly impressed.

Also, MBA don't violently protest, but they absolutely DO lobby government to send in the military to do their bidding. Which as far as violence goes is worse than a riot.

Broken politics, a destroyed environment, debased social fabric, and a degenerate business culture prove his point.

Yes, the planet will eventually recover from our damage. That doesn't help us if that process takes a million years. We need working biosystems now, not in a million years.

Also, you're a fucking retard.

Why the fuck can't we root out this sort of ignorance? It's dumbasses like you voting for dumbass policies that has landed us here. You should not be allowed to vote.

Actually "AI slop" was late 2025 and early 2026.

There's still some slop, but no where near as bad as a few months ago - that's the terrifying speed of how quickly AI is improving.
I'm sure by end of this year, beginning of next, it will be hard to come by.

It's terrifying how realistic photos and videos look, that it's become exponentially easier to create fake content to spread hate and division - it takes seconds to create, and hours or days to debunk and prove it's fake.

I think that's the reason watermarks especially in photos and videos is so crucial.

For context, Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.8 were only released just over 3 months ago, and already far outdated in "intelligence" and various benchmarks compared to the newer 5.5 models.
Similarly GPT-5.5 was released just over 5 months ago, and already lagging far behind GPT-6 Astra and 6.1 Sol - in various tasks especially coding and physics.

It's not "speculative layoffs", it's real people and real lives transformed.

A consultancy I worked at has gone through laying off hundreds of developers and business analysts, including many senior developers. Due to AI, you only need a handful of developers now, just to review/test code and at the odd times, make up the shortfall in AI.

Some devs claim AI is rubbish, but in my experience those are the people who used GPT-4 or earlier models and made up their mind, or those that try to feed it endless lines of code forgetting it has a context window.

There's many designers and artists in similar position. Where a company required a content writer/editor and designer, much of it is now done by AI.
An example is a senior manager portraying how great the company is doing with a presentation with pretty amazing side pictures as though it was put together by a professional designer in the consultancy... but nope, it was all AI generated :(

As far as I know, Eich has sadly left Mozilla completely and now working for the company he founded: Brave Software.
So your posts to "reinstate" are useless.

No doubt a great loss to mozilla and the user-base.

Firefox was around 3% market share on desktops and many consider it a dead browser.
It's risen in the past few months to ~6% and still gets little or no notice.

Sadly I still haven't come across a single dev or manager (or even anyone in marketing dept) using Firefox as their main browser - other than me.

For anyone else wondering what this is about.

Basically Jev is a layer (like a service) in an application which makes decisions and outputs a simple json which is used by the dev to carry out an actions. So essentially it takes unstructured data, and makes a decision like priority, or urgency, or apply a flag, etc.

So in a ticket system, to decide urgency and department;
Or in deciding whether a message posted on a board needs moderation or is harmful;
Or to monitor logs and decide on urgency of event, or to flag certain things;
Or to monitor and inform if an AI agent might perform a destructive operation.
Etc.

It doesn't itself carry out actions, only decide and output a structured json.

In short: unstructured input goes in, a constrained decision comes out, and the surrounding software decides what to do with it.

lol. Every time someone points out that the USA is just as much of a repressive propagandist as China, some guy gets butthurt and jumps in with some highly specific thing that apparently makes it totally different.

In the USA, the state runs arguably an even bigger propaganda machine. The fact that it's privatised on paper doesn't mean it's not a tool used by the elites and less than is the case in China.

To be fair, given the state of things in the west today, it's hard to argue that end state capitalism is any better for the citizenry than end state communism. It just has better PR.
