"Another fals positive? Woops! Whatever shall we do?"

These days they can update it with "don't waste your eggs, there are kids in America whose family can't even afford them"
Man yeah, a country where you can be sent to an extra territorial jail with no due process and absolutely no recourse because the Man said so.
That sounds scary!
Ma remarque finale c'est pour le fait que c'est comme ça partout, en vrai. L'enfer c'est les autres. Y'a toujours du drama peu importe où tu vas (j'ai bossé dans plusieurs régions et pas mal à l'étranger). Le truc c'est de se mettre bien avec les gens autour de soi, de se plaire à son poste, et le reste en /ignore.
Would be interesting to see how they distinguish "personal consumption" and "transformative" consumption.
The AI did quite literally what any human educating themselves would have done : reading entire libraries to improve themselves. Then make money from it. So if little Timmy pirates 3DS Max or Photoshop to get a job, it's fine yeah? Or a student trying to read their course without paying hundreds of dollars?
But wait, when Timmy reads a single virtual book, it's thievery? It's the loss of a sale? So how many sales were lost through all those virtual books stolen from paying customers by the AI?
They gotta decide one way or another at some point and stop taking the piss.
Also I wonder if the AI can actually remember the entire content of each book they read though. Or any. And if they do, then can that actually be proof, for each individual book thus regurgitated, that the copyright has been unfairly used since a full reproduction (or close enough as to fool a reader?) would be now available.
That's gonna be some interesting jurisprudence.
Tried to do a proper analysis of a bug in homologation that's preventing our future customer to test the product, while N+3 and N+4 demand twice-daily updates through video call with ten other managers on it. Two weeks of proper madness, that was.
Stopped the meetings for one fucking day and we had it fixed before 5pm.
For real.
I joined this team two years ago and at 46 was the oldest with our PO. The tech lead had to leave after my first year. Then the PO jumped ship after 19 years at the company. Now our N+2, who's mostly responsible for our PO leaving, is off dying in some hospital. The tech lead he finally got us, a mate of his, has done exactly 4 tickets in four months (I did 50 in my first four) and with good reason since he knows exactly none of the tech stack we use. At all. He's ready to quit, just hasn't found somewhere else.
The N+3, who joined at the same time as him, and knew the shit he was getting in, admitted to me this morning that he's having a tough time honestly.
The guys around me, all in their twenties and with one or two jobs under their belt have never seen shit like this and are all on the verge of ragequitting. Only thing keeping them is the difficulty of finding a job here as we're in the arse end of France.
The (paid) students are kinda all taking it in mouth agape.
Meanwhile I'm just like "eh, sure it's not perfect but it ain't so bad. You should see the last place I was at!".
And I still have to swallow twenty odd years of this shit?
Fuck me.
I can't wait to meet the two people who just did a round of interview...
Shit sounds about right
Well, he could just show his birth certificate, right?
Je l'ai vu passer dans la journée et c'est juste le genre d'histoires dont je me passerais bien de savoir qu'elles existent. Quelle tristesse quoi.
I'm actually curious what they even import from the US that they can't find elsewhere or make themselves.
I'm wearing NB bought in a NB shop in Wuhan at European prices and they're... made in Indonesia. I'm guessing it's gonna be some really unique luxury shit like alcohol? Or cars? So nothing that's gonna affect Chinese people significantly, except perhaps to send them shopping in the EU and reinforce the Belt and Road and the railway connection with Europe (well, if Putin doesn't fuck things up. That's another story)
