Oh hi there person who I’ve upset by expressing my opinion who is now wanting to go back through my post history to find something to use against me! If you’re reading this, it’s because you’ve already lost the argument :)

  • Sorry but a study of 16 developers isn’t a big enough sample to get any meaningful data, especially given the massive range of skills and levels of development.

    I’m a developer and I use AI - not much, but when I think it can help based on the suggestions that it gives me since it’s integrated into visual studio. It doesn’t slow me down, it speeds me up. It could slow you down if you rely on it to do everything, but in that case you’re just a bad or lazy developer.

    AI is a tool to use. Like with all tools, there are right ways and wrong ways and inefficient ways and all other ways to use them. You can’t say that they slow people down as a whole just because they slow some people down.







  • But if you’re legally responsible for the content that is posted on your platform, not many new companies are going to want to take on that risk.

    What would likely happen is everyone would still only use the big players, but you’d upload your post/photo/video/whatever and it would be like “your post is saved, pending approval. Expected wait time: 18 hours”. It would be a terrible user experience, but a necessary thing because all it would take is one malicious loser uploading CP hoping to get it through so they can instantly report them to the police and/or file a lawsuit against the platform.

    What do you mean by “more local, smaller communities”? Many small social media sites with very few users so moderation is easy? No one would use them because there is no one on them.



  • Wouldn’t surprise me if they started cracking down on anything regarding XBMC/Kodi/LibreElec/Plex/etc because let’s be real here - almost 100% of the time it’s done to serve up pirated media. Plex are trying to make a bit of plausible deniability by hosting their own media for users, but everyone knows why you set these things up.

    If they are, that’s just one more shitty thing Google are doing that should hopefully make people rethink using YouTube, and hopefully a competitor can gain some ground.

    If it was just some stupid rogue employees decision to give him this strike, well again I hope it makes people rethink using YouTube and Google things.
