We need a new one: "Where someone is using a vibe-coded internal tool made by the creative department that keeps needing bug fixes, there's a start up waiting to happen."

This project is not clever, interesting, insightful, or beneficial to humanity in any way, save to remind us of what world we are slowly creating by our continued insistence that AI is a good thing.

Exactly. People are getting so excited that all this stuff is possible, and forgetting that we are burning through innumerable finite resources just to prove something is possible.

They were too concerned with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think if they should.

I can't believe that in the face of all the other problems facing humanity, we are allowing any amount of resources to be spent on this. I cannot even see this justifiable under the guise of entertainment. It is beneath our human dignity to read this slop, and to continue tolerating these kinds of projects as "innovation" or "pushing the AI frontier" is disingenuous at best, and existentially fatal at worst.

yup...so sad. And we seem to be the 'unpopular opinion' these days..

This is really cringe

It really, really is. The fact people here are taking this seriously is an indictment of this space. There is nothing meaningful here.

Do they have microphones inside the car? How do you know? That "feeling" of privacy probably encourages people to talk more openly, which if there are microphones inside...

Yes, they do. I know because they’re disclosed, and how they’re used is disclosed. (They’re disabled unless you call support.)

they are disabled by default unless you call support etc.

Im also coming to the conclusion that video game consoles (and smartphones, and ipads,...) are not for children.

The phrase "dog whistle" is also itself a dog whistle that signals where you stand on discussing particular issues in the open.

Only someone trying to silence any dissent to their position would use platitudes like this rather than addressing why the OP mentioned antisemitism out of nowhere.

The proof is that humans do it all the time and that you do it inside your head as well. People need to stop with this absurd level of rampant skepticism that makes them doubt their own basic functions.

Companies more likely to want to save money on labor costs (employing many h1bs) are also likely to want to save money on Tooling costs, by using safe options like MSFT stuff, rather than finding better tools.

Also yes, due to availability and various other reasons, H1bs, particularly from India, seem more likely to use a MSFT stack.

MSFT tools aren't even cheap - they're very expensive. Many FOSS tools are just better and cheaper. End of the day, even RHEL is cheaper.
