AI is overhyped and unreliable -Goldman Sachs in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Uplink@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

I think it all depends on how good our tools to detect AI generated content become. If it is not distinguishable, then the internet is probably about to be flooded by AI generated content which in turn means AI is going to be trained more and more with AI content, degrading the model in the process.

Ah yes, this year is definitely the year of the Linux desktop. For real this time!

It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox in c/technology@lemmy.world

How is this going to end?

Google blocks access to it's services for Firefox altogether? Maybe even ban it from the Play Store? That would finally give me a real incentive to install some CFW.

I love Kotlin (programming.dev)
 

...but I hate that you can practically only use it with IntelliJ. Trying to use it with just Gradle and vscode is such a pain and maybe even impossible to get anything more than basic syntax highlighting. That is all.

I only get 82% :( How much do you get? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Is it an unofficial reddit client? How are they getting around the API prices? Webscraping?

I tried only Jerboa and that's what I stuck with. It loads fast and has every feature I want. Compare that to the official Reddit app, which is a slog on even high end devices. Seriously, what are they doing that it loads SO SLOW?

Good tech podcasts (programming.dev)
 

What are some good tech related podcasts you can recommend? I've listened a lot to Darknet Diaries but lately, I've found it to become less and less interesting as he mostly just interviews some pentesters.

My current role includes a lot of DevOps and infrastructure on AWS and some software development. Bonus points if the podcast focuses on that but I'll check out everything tech related you can recommend.
