I've found it very interesting. So far as I can tell it's installed and enabled (even on non co-pilot PCs). However I have yet to see or hear of anyone that has found evidence that it is actually running and doing its job (capturing screenshots and creating the database for the AI model).

To me, the fact it's installed and enabled and they've not stood up by now and said "Ooops our bad, it was only meant to be on copilot PCs and we should have added it to the features menu so you can turn it off" just suggests that, the stuff is there and at some point they will flip a switch on ALL PCs to enable it.

It's quite lucky that a week or so ago when I got some new SSDs, I put aside 2TB for a linux boot to replace my old broken previous linux dual boot. Not booted into windows in over a week.

This is exactly what I expected AI to do. Basically if you're a junior developer your work is likely to be checked by a senior.

Instead they will just have seniors use AI and then check that work instead.

It's very shortsighted because you only become a senior developer after being a junior and it will turn off new people to the industry.

But, that doesn't matter to pretty much any large business. They never have a long term strategy (and do not let them have you believe otherwise). They have month, quarter and year only and the importance is in that order except at quarter and year end.

They will destroy their own industry for short term gains and then blame the rest of us when things turn sour.

Not lemmy (unless it does support it now?). But from a (k/m)bin instance you can access the mastadon account @elonjet which does the same as the original twitter elonjet.

I've never had AI create working code anyway.

But it will generally point me in the right direction. It's useful for:

  1. Helping get your train of thought back in the right direction
  2. Automating what would be a lot of boilerplate/repetitive coding. Just beware you will still need to check it over.

You need to be skilled to spot the mistakes it will definitely make.

If you mean they shouldn't. I'd agree. But, as has been seen a lot on youtube. "They" can DMCA anything they want, and the only route out is usually to take them to court.

I mean I'd hope if they're going in this direction they will be decent about it. But, it's not the way things seem to be lately.

Just post that you think it'd be impossible to port to rust and linux. Then someone is bound to do it :P

If they're moving away from open source/more monetisation then they're going to do one of two things.

1: Make the client incompatible (e.g you'll need to get hold of and prevent updating of a current client).
2: DMCA the vaultwarden repo

If they're going all-in on a cash grab, they're not going to make it easy for you to get a free version.

What do you mean? Administrators/liquidators will have an entire list of assets owned by the bankrupt company.

They will be looking for a buyer to take on the whole company (assets and liabilities) or sell off the assets to cover liabilities.

Those boxes are still owned, they didn't magically become fair game because the company owning them went bankrupt.

If people advertise that they stole one of these boxes, they become fair game to be pursued by the liquidators/administrators or any entity buying the ownership of them.

Gen X: Oh, internet eh? So we don't need to keep copying umpteenth generation video cassettes of that dodgy pirate movie any more.

I think there's still a lot less subtle ways than skipping straight to that. But, that's my opinion I guess.

I'm also going to say it's kinda weird behaviour on her part too, no? I mean going from cuddling to returning to the room half naked has skipped a few steps in my (perhaps old fashioned) mind here.

It puts it into a somewhat more likely "that happened" situation to me.

I mean it's bizarre to us. But many followers of Islam do not condone images of living (often specifically sentient) beings. As with all things religious this is of course adhered to, from every possible extreme and sometimes not at all.
