@nixCraft I think, beside this arrogant cartoonishly villain idea that "we just get rid of these pesky humans" that just annoyed everyone, the glooming fact that AI simply does not work anywhere nearly as good as promised, its results require careful human intervention at every step of the way to present any semblance of value, and in many cases it hurts productivity, not boosts it is the gravestone of this whole psychopathic craze that we're going through

Oh no. Can you please think of the poor corporation and its CEO? The negativity you talk about regarding AI is hurting them badly. Now Jensen Huang is begging you to stop being so negative about AI: "[It's] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage," he said. This is the same thing the Microsoft CEO said a couple of weeks back. It would be a shame if you boosted and spread this negative news. Lmao.

Opin tänään käyttämään Signalin keskustelukansioita oikein. Niiden järjestystä voi vaihtaa, jolloin sovelluksen avatessa näkymään tulee vain ensimmäisen kansion keskustelut. Näin esim. tärkeimmät kontaktit voi olla vakiona aina etusivulla ja kaikki kuormittavat ryhmäkeskustelut eivät hyppää heti silmille. Niitäkin voi sitten jaotella vähän aiheen mukaan.

Ihan merkittävä tekninenkin parannus WhatsAppiin nähden, missä arkiston avulla yritti saada kaaokseen edes vähän tolkkua.
