It was adopted in those places where it makes fucking sense, you deluded prick.
Please falter .
Fuck microsoft
We'll try to keep shoving it down your throats anyway though.
-Tech companies as evidenced by how many new places it keeps cropping up
Thing could slow down if it loses velocity. Film at 11.
Let's not adopt! Move away from MicroSlop Minimise use of AI services aka data theft.
I'm just tired of AI this AI that. Give me a functional product not a bandaid solution that in the end I don't need
Finally some good news.
I kinda hope loca models become or are available that capture the best of what is available ot whats coming tho.
It took a while for me to warm up to it but their code generation alone has been a huge positive for me as well as its abillity to edit code to make it work. I wouldnt trust it for anything super important or at least not without testing out all the gamut of edge cases to ensure its consistently doing what I want and outputting as expected but I use it regularly to spec a solution to smaller problems that i can immediately test and feed back to it if theres issues

I remember living in an era where the market decided what was successful and what wasn’t. Good times?
I don't think that guy is as smart as he thinks he is. Maybe it's all the evidence that Microsoft is literally committing suicide on his watch... maybe it's a hunch... but the suspicion it's strong.
Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?
I cant believe the CEO of a company as large as MS would fall for "if you build it, they will come" like some kind of noob. Any entrepreneur knows PMF is king.
Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?
That's the problem. For now at least, we're at the end of "new tech make line go up". Crypto wasn't it, neither were NFTs, LLMs are no different. All the low hanging fruit was picked a while back so they're stuck trying to make us believe that there's a Next Big Thing just around the corner when, at best, there's some fairly niche and difficult to monetize tech requiring vast resources to work.
haha lol
Pretty please 🙏🥺
So we just have to keep doing what we’re already doing?
Don't force feed us vegetable pablum. Give us that sweet mashed banana! We want what we want, not what you want.
If it doesn't have wide adoption, it isn't a boom. It's just sparkling speculation.
WE HAVE THIS SOLUTION THAT IS RIGHT LIKE 50% OF THE TIME, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS LIKE IT???

So somebody or a few somebodies is/are regretting a few investments right about now I imagine
I didn't read anything and I don't know who this man is but the picture is just.. I can't.. He looks like a baby with the headband eye glasses. That expression... He's enjoying his puffed rice cereal bites while signalling that he wants milk.
Good lord, this guy is the absolute ugliest spoiled toddler ever roaming the planet, crying that he wants canndddyyyyyyyy wah wah.
GET A DIAPER AND GO SUCK ON YOUR THUMB YOU OVERGROWN BABBIE and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
Good. It shouldn't have come this far in the first place.
