  • Is it the AI itself? Or is it that it’s being forced down your throat despite being an alpha-level (in programming, alpha means very early release with lots of bugs and missing features, and nowhere near production quality) software?

    Personally, I like the idea of AI. And occasionally I will find a use for it; i.e. summarizing long texts, or giving me pointers for a complex software problem I need an example for visualizing a potential solution. I do also use an LLM for code completion, and it is actually useful more often than not.

    But, this idea that it should write my code for me, or be integrated so deeply in an operating system and other integral software (browsers, email, and search engines), is certainly a line too far and dangerously ignorant of companies to be doing right now.











  • Please don’t be so ignorant. It’s never that black and white. And if you are dishonorably discharged, nothing they say will make that stigma go away.

    High horses don’t matter when the bill collectors and repo men come knocking.

    People joining today, maybe. But there are people who joined before this stupid shit went down. And they probably joined as a last resort because they felt they had no other choice. That happens. Not everyone is blessed with options.









  • I guess it depends on what you call it. I’ve seen creditors that have autopay features that can draft it from your bank accounts each month. Usually those are for your minimum payment, which usually stretch out your balance for up to 30 years (to maximize interest charges).

    I personally don’t like autopay. It’s an old habit from back when I would overdraft my checking on the regular because I always spent more than I made. Nowadays, I think it’s because I like the responsibility/control of paying my bills manually, and on my terms.
