There is always going to be a need for some people to have personal vehicles and electricity is a damn sight better than gasoline.

When that electricity is generated from solar panels and wind turbines that require endless mining of non-renewable sources, and create endless landfill, no, it's not a damn sight better than gasoline. It's causing significantly more environmental damage than gasoline is.

The point is that sometimes you want something that cannot be directly profitable but which is of a certain benefit to society.

You want that to be publicly owned, not lining the pockets of private enterprise. If a private company needs subsidies to exist, it should be left to fail. If it needs subsidies, it should be publicly owned.

“My example was perfect” then why was it so pathetically simple?

Because simple examples that anyone can understand while still making the point are the best examples.

You’re trying to show how AI will solve complex issues and you present something that a toddler could sort through.

Again though, this is just you not understanding a simple example. I'll break it down for you even simpler.

• Marketing does not have access to the database.
• Marketing has a bunch of reports that have been made for them, available in their admin portal.
• Marketing wants a very specific, very customised list of people, but that report does not exist in the admin portal.
• AI Agent in Teams lets them describe this very specific, very customised report, and gives them the list. If they want to change it, they just ask again describing the changes that they want.
• Without AI Agents in Teams, they would have to create a support ticket to get a new report created by the developers, which would be triaged as low priority most likely, and be placed on the backlog and likely sit there for months.

Am I getting through to you at all?

I don’t know the specifics of how your company works/struggles to function.

The example was clearly spelled out that the people using the AI Agent DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE DATABASE TO GET THE DATA THAT THEY WANTED. You chose to just keep ignoring that fact because you wanted to try and prove that AI is useless.

How were people handling this data since before your little LLM tool?

See the support process above. If it was an urgent report, they would make a ticket and get it triaged as urgent, then a developer or database person would have to work with them to figure out exactly what they want, write the query, run it on the database, and give them the results. If it needs tweaking, they'd have to continually go back to the developer and have them change it and run it again, and again, and again.

Can you see the difference yet? Do you see why the AI Agent is a game changer for some employees?

Technological impossibilities exist all the time.

This isn't one of those times. We're just scratching the surface of AI. Anyone saying anything absolute like it's impossible for them to not hallucinate is saying "No one should listen to me".

There's no other factors when a thief already has your phone unlocked, which is why it's a bad point to use against passworldess authentication in this argument.

I see that the comment I initially replied to has been edited, but it still reads as though the second factor of 2FA is itself 2FA:

Sorry but that's just you misinterpreting it. I was explaining what passwordless authentication is like compared to the current password+2FA system, in which passwordless is basically just going straight to the 2FA, not that passwordless is 2FA. You don't need to explain 2FA to me, I very much know what it is lol

it might seem like enough if your email is protected by 2FA—but not if you mistakenly leave your email logged in on a device someone else has access to, which may sound stupid but it definitely happens.

This is the worst argument that people keep coming back to. If you have left your email logged in on a device that someone else has access to, you've been compromised. You don't use that as an argument against other services.

Also passwordless isn't only authenticated by email. It's usually done via an authenticator app.

Because there’s nothing to do anything about. Why would they be sanctioned?

If you love being stuck in the dark ages and hating all innovation and new tech, go for it.

Congratulations, you’re seeing what communism leads to EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This is why people that aren’t smooth brains know that communism isn’t the utopia that leftists and 90% of Lemmy users think it is. It always ends in fascism, elites, and keeping everyone else held down on the bottom.

Huh?

I don’t care if you block me.

Communism isn’t right wing. You’re saying it is.

Public service spending isn’t a subsidy.

Nothing about EVs are “renewable”. The government subsidies for “renewables” are one of the biggest examples of corruption we’ve ever seen.

Passwordless isn’t 2FA…..it’s passwordless. I’m not calling it 2FA.

Do you think toggling hdr is the only thing copilot can do? Do you not understand examples?
