  • I know it can’t take my job because I tried to make it do my job. Spoiler, it can’t. And that’s because most jobs aren’t doing things that have been done so often that Claude has an example in its training data set. If your job is that basic then yes, an AI will take it from you. Most of the programming job is actually solving a problem within the context of the codebase, not the coding itself. I am working with old and archaic technology from the 60s to the 90s and let me tell you, using the official doc is way more factual than asking any AI model about information because it will start spewing bullshit after the second prompt



  • I mean… Yeah, it pretty obviously was a mistake from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who think there’s a deep state controlling us with the 5g in the vaccines. Facebook don’t have any incentive to ban the word Linux, even they use it. It’s not like it’s a subject that would make their customers go away (like NSFW stuff for example). The shit I’ve seen people say “it’s probably Microsoft paying them to censor Linux users” as if 1. Linux is any threat to windows’s market share and 2. Microsoft didn’t intentionally keep Linux alive as a way to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Microsoft is big on Linux too with azure.














  • That’s how I learned too, but at first yeah obv training wheels are useful in order to not have to reinstall the os every 2 days. About malware though, it may be more sneaky in general but some sites I’ve seen recently still use the old ways, especially for game mods or file downloads, they still use the giant green download button trick. Also, she will grow up in the internet that we have today, so if she learns the old stuff, it may not be that useful

    In any case, just for thinking of this, she will probably be one of the most tech savvy person in her generation! I hope she will be thankful


  • One way would be to let them find out the hard way. Make sure they understand that everyone can see what they do and say and that they can find them back as a first base step. Let them have to click the right download button when downloading a mod for their game, you know. Make a setup so that if there’s theres a big oopsie with their devices yours arent affected. And from there they will install an ad blocker or learn to find the download button. You could also make a fake blackmail or phishing email to see how they react (I’ve thought about making a fake phishing email for the elder ones in my family recently too…) and make it so that if they click, the screen goes black and red with crazy sounds.
