I decided to keep my comment availability turned on and then instantly found myself commenting on an almost absurdly questionable semi-pornographic image to ask for the source. alas.
OK. I only saw the feature announcement after it had been introduced, with an opt-out toggle. Hadn't seen this thread until now. But... the "anyone visiting your page can see your comments + they get blasted into your followers' For You feeds" feature wasn't planned as optional + the above was the justification by a staff member?
I know I'm talking about a real guy who is just doing his job, and that job is an engineer implementing a fun feature rather than a designer of social media sites. But, like. Are you stupid.
starting to see what you folks mean about pharmacists these people are straight up not good at their job

Yeah, it's kind of funny that a lot of companies are now re-hiring junior programmers to save on LLM credits, but it's not surprising. From a pure line-goes-up perspective, working people to death is almost always better than automation. That isn't an indictment of LLMs in particular – it's just how this shit works.
Like, yeah, joke about the "self-driving car" service that turned out to be employing remote drivers in the Philippines if you want, but it's not only a tech grift; the fact of the matter is that even if the technology was there, making that guy in the Philippines pull sixteen-hour shifts with no bathroom breaks until he dies of a bladder infection is almost certainly cheaper than "real" AI would be, and that's the actual reason they do it. They wouldn't deliver on their promises even if they could.
also much cheaper than paying a driver in the west of course. it's labour market arbitrage all the way down
The reason prokopetz says "self-driving car service" and not which company he's talking about is that he's talking about Waymo. The largest and most successful self-driving car company in the world, whose cars are famously about ten times safer than human drivers. So anyone who knows anything about the company would be able to say he's talking complete bullshit - not only is there no way to get ten times safer than a human driver by using a human driver, you cannot reliably and safely run thousands of cars in real time via remote connection to the Philippines anyway. You just cannot pretend that's happening.
And obviously the economics would be gibberish anyway - claiming this is "cheaper than real AI" runs straight into the literal tens of billions Waymo and its parent Alphabet have spent on research over the last decade.
The story was based on Waymo's use of remote intervention when its AI driver requests assistance - you can find several mentions of this on their own website, including this release from February stating that they have ~70 remote access workers on duty at a time for a fleet of 3,700 cars. According to the California DMV's testing data (which it has collected since 2014, because this is some of the most heavily scrutinised technology in the world), Waymo's AI required human intervention once every 19,000 miles last year.
At some point you are going to have to notice that self-driving cars are real. That point happened multiple years ago.
do need to lock in today but unfortunately I already locked in yesterday. so it may be impossible.

ohhhhhh I was comfortable putting that off because the next meeting is on the 16th of July not the 16th of June. Past self you get a pass for this one.
given that today I've got through tasks I was putting off from April 16th, May 1st, and May 19th respectively I think past me probably does still need to come in for some criticism.
