Asking to have a tech forum in 2026 that doesn’t discuss AI is about as much of a Luddite as asking about having tech forum anytime in the past 25 years that doesn’t discuss the internet or the 15 that doesn’t discuss mobile.

Absolutely everything in tech is touched by AI/ML in 2026 except micro controllers/embedded systems

On a personal note, I lead cloud + app dev implementations for a consulting company. I’ve had 5 projects since the beginning of last year and they have all involved Amazon hosted LLMs in some form or fashion.

Every single project I’ve been brought in with at pre sales has also involved Gen AI and/or traditional ML.

Yes we already know it's omnipresent, that's the point. Some would rather lead in a different direction than follow like NPCs.

Too many complete sentences and too much correct capitalization for an executive of such a high profile. Maybe he delegated it, though. To a human so it wouldn't look like bad writing.

When people loudly assert there's no difference between the left and right in this era, I don't know how to give them the benefit of the doubt. Is it more generous to assume they're being disingenuous and too smart to actually believe what they're saying? Or vice versa?

Being told to "listen" by someone who's submitted 57 links to his own site and zero from any other sources, and who also doesn't comment on submissions other than his own.

Ads will expand to fill all online spaces. Ads will inevitably come to both, it's just a matter of when they respectively need or decide to capture that profit and when they feel their users are sufficiently dependent so as not to be able to leave.

> Imagine taking a picture on autoshot mode and refusing to look at it. If the client doesn’t like it because it’s too bright, tweak the settings and shoot again, but never look at the output.

The output of code isn't just the code itself, it's the product. The code is a means to an end.

So the proper analogy isn't the photographer not looking at the photos, it's the photographer not looking at what's going on under the hood to produce the photos. Which, of course, is perfectly common and normal.

A photo isn't going to fail next week or three months from now because it's full of bugs no one's triggered yet.

Specious analogies don't help anything.

Google Craig DeLeeuw Robertson, this is not the first time.

> In September 2022, Robertson allegedly posted online, "The time is right for a presidential assassination or two. First Joe then Kamala!!!"[3] He also allegedly posted a picture of a rifle captioned, "My democrat eradicator!!!"[14] Robertson also allegedly threatened New York attorney general Letitia James and had "patriotic dreams" of shooting Governor of California Gavin Newsom with "my S&W M&P 9mm" and shooting US attorney general Merrick Garland "dead center in his forehead".[3][15][16] In November 2022, he indicated he had nine firearms including at least three rifles and intended to buy an additional three for "getting ready for the 2024 election cycle."

Wow, there's something really wrong with this guy. This goes beyond "criticism" but I admit I don't know where the line falls before you consider a death threat to be worth taking action on.

Don't worry, after a decade or two of having Windows reinstall and re-enable it every couple weeks against their users' wishes I'm sure they'll get the market penetration they're looking for...
add-sub-mul-div · 4 days ago
This is repeated endlessly by non-Windows fans I assume, because I disabled AI and other annoyances in Windows long ago and they haven't come back. I even used to worry about updating Windows because I saw this warning so many times, but then I did and it just never came to pass.

This reminds me when the kiddies would group together to DDoS internet sites.
add-sub-mul-div · 4 days ago
I hadn't thought of that parallel before. LLMs are transitioning the society into script kiddies.
