Scammy scammers scamming. Ain’t nothin’ changed.

Gross

Anyone who buys is a fucking sucker. It’s horrible what these assholes are about to do to their own employees.

Can’t wait for the backtracking on this one 🤣🤣

The Nokia font was a “tweak” on the original Macintosh desktop font, but kicked up for different DPI and even lower res displays. Pretty clever.

Damn. This dude is prolific. Hope he’s getting some bounty money or something.

Humans are fucked

There will be massive wave of this soon coming to all these asshats who thought “AI” was going to make them more profits. Same shit happened in 90’s with off shoring, then again in the 2010’s. This is just another dumbass play that will backfire on these profit greedy assholes.

Who fucking cares? Fuck these assholes on principle.

Lolz

I wasn’t saying labor replacement was a good thing. You misread that.

Lol, right, that’s why. All the people in here are wrong, but you’ve got the right take 🤣

1. they’ve already stolen everything
2. other companies already focus on illegally using data for “AI” means, and they’re better at it
3. Everyone already figured out that LLMs aren’t what they were promising “Assistant” features were 15 years ago
4. None of these companies have any sort of profit model. There is no “AI” race to win, unless it’s about who gets to fleece the public for their money faster.
5. Tell me who exactly benefits when AGI is attainable (and for laymen it’s not a real thing achievable with this tech at all), so who in the fuck are you expecting to benefit from this in the long run?

We hate it because it’s not what the marketing says it is. It’s a product that the rich are selling to remove the masses from the labor force, only to benefit the rich. It literally has no other productive use for society aside from this one thing.

Fucking waste of time and money. Ruining the planet even more and accelerating our demise while they’re at it. Could be actually helping people with that money.

Stupid. They’re programmed to do all of these things, morons.

They’re payments for work services.

You listen to Joe Rogan, don’t you…

Uhhh, repercussions like what? They’re getting small amounts of money for specific work. Up front. What repurcussions could there be for project moving to Gitlab, for instance?

You may as well just stop using computers all together, bud 🤣

I don’t mean to ruin your world view, but there are no ways to run anything you want to run by focusing on “altruistic companies”, however you may subjectively define that.

Look, you’re focusing on the wrong thing here. Maybe you didn’t know this, but the massive majority of FOSS projects get funded by companies - either for consulting, feature bounties, IC development - and is a main driving force for the ecosystem.

Many in this ecosystem would even tell you that every single project is massively UNDERfunded by said companies, and they should kick in more to help keep these projects secure and in good standing. They make billions and billions of dollars off people’s work, and it surely seems they should kick some of that back to the projects.

Whatever Microsoft’s involvement is here, it’s not going to be changing the direction of any of the projects mentioned. If for some reason something untoward starts happening with any project: boom, fork and new community. It’s that simple.

In short, these people getting funding for their work is a good thing. If you take issue with who is providing that money, you’re going to be digging a deep, deep hole in your research, and if you’re running down the dep chain, you’ll find out that all of the things you use have some funding by companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, IBM, Red Hat, Amazon, Alibaba, Halliburton, Qualcomm…I could keep going on and on.
