You can pay someone to do that for you tho it’s not any different form paying someone to verify you ina centralized way. Its really not that hard.

Even with more complex setups like mastodon servers you already see markets for this. You can get a basic managed instance for yourself for like 15$/mo - that’s basically nothing for anyone who needs to verify themselves as a brand.

Remember when it was all the hype when things just started - crazy to see it actually happen

Not same as “all tech starts out”. You’re literally typing on tech stack that didn’t start out like that. Then there’s Masotodon, fediverse, gnome, kde, linux etc. Etc. - literally almost no good software comes out of VC world statically speaking.

Nah it was not good. Domain names already do that and are accessible to all at all times with full transparency and decentralization. Bluesky is literally regressing.

Even mastodon’s verification system is better than checkmarks.

Honestly I doubt he’s even capable of active sex.

Why not? Can’t it lead to Meta breakup?

Somehow works in the rest of the world? Maybe if americans weren’t so disconnected and socially retarded you wouldn’t have these issues.

Its a vc funded for profit. They have no choice.

This has been a major red flag that everyone on bsky is just ignoring.

Lmao maybe they should wait and see how Australian ban later this year turns out to be because it’s looking like an absolute clown show rn.

Good. I don’t like them but clearly IP law is a net negative on our society and peoppe have been argueing against it forever now.

I hate tiktok as much as anyone else but this is not the way to do this.

They just banned it using “think of the kids” and without establishing any laws to actually protect the kids. You see how unserious and corrupt this appears? Populist authoritarian drivel like this should not be applauded even if you agree with it.

Still have mine gathering dust when one american startup (went under already) laid me off 1 day before I had to be legally granted my equity shares and they had the audacity to ask me to arrange the return lmao

I develop AI agents rn as part time for my work and have yet to see one that can perform a real task unsupervised on their own. It’s not what agents are made for at all - they’re only capable of being an assistant or annotate, summarize data etc. Which is very useful but in an entirely different context.

No agent can create features or even reliably fix bugs on their own yet and probably not for next few years at least. This is because having a dude at 50$ hour is much more reliable than any AI agent long term. If you need to roll back a regression bug introduced by an AI agent it’ll cost you 10-20 developer hours as minimum which negates any value you’ve gained already. Now you spent 1,000$ fix for your 50$ agent run where a person could have done that for 200$. Not to mention regression bugs are so incredibly expensive to fix and maintain so it’ll all scale exponentially. Not to mention liability of not having human oversight - what if the agent stops working? You’ll have to onboarding someone on an entire code base which would take days as very minimum.

So his take on ai agents doing work is pretty dumb for the time being.

That being said, AI tool use proficiency test is very much unavoidable, I don’t see any software company not using AI assistants so anyone who doesn’t will simply not get hired. Its like coding in notepad - yeah you can do it but its not a signal you want to send to your team cause you’d look stupid.

Lmao sure buddy i should have forked a web browser, learn their front end and patched everything myself! Ir you know fuck right off to a billion other email clients that don’t ship literally the most complex piece of software in the world with it 🙄

As owner and early adopter of both - disagree.

Switch is gathering dust for me and everytime I pull it out i feel like getting my steamdeck instead.

The only exception I can think off is low profile traveling but that’s a very small niche if people.

Ive been on lemmy for years (even when .ml was the only instance) and hadn’t seen anything of the sort though I don’t go digging for it either. I doubt that Lemmy is any worse than Facebook or Telegram when it comes to this.

I’m a senior dev and tbh I’d take a lower salary given the right cause tho having to work with this sort of material is probably the main bottle neck here. I can’t imagine how people working this can even fall asleep.

I used to work in netsec and unfortunately government still sucks at hiring security experts everywhere.

That being said hiring here is extremely hard - you need to find someone with below market salary expectation working on such ugly subject. Very few people can do that. I do believe money fixes this though. Just pay people more and I’m sure every European citizen wouldn’t mind 0.1% tax increase for a more effective investigation force.

You’re just seeing “survivor’s bias” (as nasty as that sounds in this case) not a general representation.

And it didn’t even require sacrificing encryption huh!
