In a recent interview with Peter H. Diamandis for the Moonshots and Mindsets Podcast, Emad Mostaque, the founder and CEO of Stability AI, made a bold prediction: “There will be no programmers in five years.” "News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in"
Or, I suppose: "Where do you want to be in five years?"
I think this is going to go down with all the accuracy of, "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home"

Or No-Code is going to make us all jobless, because we will get obsolete.

"Mostaque’s argument is supported by data from GitHub, which reveals that an astounding 41 percent of all code currently in existence is AI-generated."
How that is possible? He counts tool generated code, too, or AI is doing the same thing over and over?

I was wondering about that too.
AI has been writing half decent code for about a year now and in that year it apparently wrote almost as much as humans have done for the past 70 years or so.

Microsoft has denied the claims of the so-called hacktivists “Anonymous Sudan” that they breached the company's servers and stole credentials for 30 million customer accounts. So...29 million?

And then they wonder that I want to install my PC offline without binding it to an account...

Maybe 40? (do they have so many registered users?)

Google updated its privacy policy over the weekend, explicitly saying the company reserves the right to scrape just about everything you post online to build its AI tools. "There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful."

Great - so generative AI will be feeding us conspiracy theory crap. The AI will need an AI to filter out the BS.
Then again, the tin foil hat crowd will soon enough have an AI that will feed you only lies, superstition, conjecture, false science, hearsay, and general pure fiction.
Oh wait.

They don't need an AI, they already have Farcebuk and Twater among others
And they won't (sadly) get out of ideas

The lord of the rings for sure, but I can't remember where exactly (and don't want to look it up).
Somewhere around the reunion at Rivendell? shortly before or after creating the feloowship?

A few months ago, a dentist referred me to an endontist for a root canal. To go to my appointment, I first had to "sign-up" - meaning fill out their online forms, etc. For me to fill out the forms, I had to consent to an 18 page list of conditions including medical sharing, privacy, etc. as if I was going to read and understand all that garbage. Privacy policies are a joke. There is a very common tool many doctor offices use now that runs on some sort of tablet. Yep, the s/w company that supports the tablet forces you to agree to the collection of data. I don't think doctors are even aware of this.
Googles move is anticipatory of the lawsuit just filed against ChatGPT. It also explains why most support sites are no longer open to google.

I can tell you that most of the ones I know... no, they aren't.
And the problem is, when you explain it to them, they would like to change it, but they mostly can't do anything against it, because there are only 2 or 3 companies with products that fit their needs and all do the same.

Reddit has informed moderators of protesting communities that are still private that they will lose their mod status Fire the volunteers and replace them with... uh...

This is awesome. An internet site that makes money from user-generated content that they receive for FREE, must really be feeling the heat. Go!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

people should just stop spending their time modding for free..if they charge money they could at least use that money for some thing like a vacation or something for the family...reddit and other site should be left to spammers...and half of it is indecent stuff... and the current management want to get rich via IPO as if the public want to buy shares in this q and a site with some random ads..
