That's were the real AI job losses will be.
A chat bot agent to deal with most of managers concerns, and a dashboard of tickets for those the agent can't reply to. The last remaining CEo sits Infront of their dashboard and views tickets, get background and relevant info, and makes a decision based on what's presented.

Seriously, imagine 1 person having the responsibility, being well compensated, and has literally everything presented in front of them like some homer-simpson-working-from-home type thing.
So many VP and CEO salaries could be saved, and let people get back to actually doing useful work.

I'd hate to be the AI "prompt engineer" that spends their day typing "you are a CEO of a fortune 500 company..." type system prompt, tho

I've used proxmox with VMs running Debian for Docker Compose stacks.
Most "get started quickly" tutorials are docker based, and building into a compose stack with dependencies is easy enough.
Then a VM per stack (depending on isolation, duplication/redundancy and all that).

I've recently started playing with k8s, and Talos Linux is amazing.
I went from no-idea to k8s-yaml-hell faster than I could imagine. No need to configure kubernetes.

Back when Blockchain was first a huge hype bubble, there were companies that added "Blockchain" to their name, or announced a pivot into Blockchain tech, and watched their stock value soar by a few hundred percent (with market value being many times their revenue).
I had googled a list of news articles, until I found this:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165176519301703

A noteworthy example: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/21/long-island-iced-tea-micro-cap-adds-blockchain-to-name-and-stock-soars.html

Anyway.
That's the bubble.
Over-valuation. People taking advantage of the hype. People jumping on any opportunity to "not be left out" or to "get in early".

AI has uses.
Everyone is throwing things at the wall to seeing what sticks. Not much of it will.
Marketing are capitalising on the hype.

Like, watching the consequences... Right?
Not the actual fucking. Right?

Excel is great.
It does so much that people make it do what it shouldn't, and never think to explore technologies beyond it... Like a proper fucking database.
Then you get garbage business systems based on fragile excel sheets with bonkers macros and weird ETL pipelines to sync things.
And never try to deal with dates and timezones.

There is no "legal issues aside". The landlord had his buddy in government change the rules.

I know a lot of FOH engineer that can design an array hang, dial in delays, do crazy sub array stuff, manage a Dante network, AND make a band sound good.
They are quite comfortable as FOH, systems, monitors RF or even just a patch monkey.

Just because a lot of people that call themselves sound engineers can't do that, doesn't mean nobody is a sound engineer.
I get that engineer is a protected term, but the majority of those apply to disciplines that have been around for centuries not 70 decades.

Original sound engineer would make their own kit. So they were probably electrical engineers, applying their knowledge to sound.

Be an audio tech. That's cool. I'd rather be on a gig with someone I consider a sound engineer tho.

My phone case has a magnet in it (so it mildly sticks to metal surfaces).
I've put it on a laptop and accidentally triggered the "lid close" sensor

Remember when he randomly called that rescue diver a pedo?

It's not difficult to define.
It's about people's choices.

People can choose to own a gun, choose to want to own a gun, choose to own a whole armoury.
I think owning a gun is stupid. I live in a country that successfully regulates guns.
Saying "I think gun owners are stupid" isn't hate speech because they have chosen to own a gun.
If I said "gun owners should use their guns in themselves" that becomes hate speech because it's wishing harm on them.

People choose to be Republicans, trumps choices in life are why he is where he is.
Hate trump because of what he does, not because he has blonde hair.

People don't choose to be gay, or be trans, or be Jewish, or be black, or be short or whatever.
Which is another way opinions can become hate speech.
If I said "I think gun owners are stupid" that isn't hate speech.
If I said "I think black people are stupid" that becomes hate speech because it is grouping people by something they have no control over.

"Lemmy Plays Doom".
Doom runs for 0.5 seconds and the video is uploaded to the LPD community.
Most upvoted action in the comments after a day gets applied to the game and the next 0.5s of gameplay video is uploaded to a new post.
Repeat until WR is achieved.

Might need some moderator discretion to normalise comments to in-game actions (or fuck it, send it to an LLM)
