Copilot is the most gamer-y of all the chatbots I’ve seen.
Which is wild as it’s just a snapshot of GPT-4 behind the scenes.
My best guess is that there’s a context bias by its association in the System prompt to Microsoft which brings it closer to topics like Xbox and gaming than models that don’t have that alignment cue.
Fortunately, I’m in a leadership position at my workplace, and I say it’s ok no matter what! No matter what happens because of lateness is not worth someone potentially hurting themselves or others.
for most Americans, fired also just means you’ve probably just become responsible for your own family’s ruin. for most of our working poor, being more than 10 minutes late is a quick route to eviction and years of more crippling debt for them and whoever else might be at home with them, which could well immediately destroy other’s major life plans like college for kids, moving somewhere cheaper, eldercare, even medical treatments or medication, etc.
this doesn’t make driving like this less dangerous or inadvisable, of course, but the folks saying what you’re saying should be aware that for a lot of folks, the certain risk of the firing is often similarly dire to the uncertain risk of driving like this.
if you knew your partner on your work health plan was going to suffer or die without continued treatment if you’re ever more than 10 minutes late to work, you’d probably consider driving like this too when you overslept because you’re sick or something. it only takes one little slip-up.
Right? Am I taking crazy pills here or is Lemmy so cringe we are literally at “capitalism is when not looking at the weather and leaving for work with 60s to spare.”
I mean then don’t get yourself into a situation where spending a minute cleaning the windshield will make or break you. Any nontrivial commute has that much variance in it anyway, so if you are routinely cutting it close, three late clock ins seems inevitable.
Yes but it still looks bad because it’s saying “you can talk about it, but only if you say nice things”. A full embargo would’ve made more sense and wouldn’t have raised any eyebrows. This current contract leads me to believe it’s a shit game.
Embargoes do get a bit of backlash sometimes, but not nearly enough.
Why should a full embargo get backlash? They are trying to get input for an understanding, controlled population before unleashing it on a wider public. The whole idea is that the preview is not representative enough to start setting expectations for everyone. But it is far enough along to get the general idea and get feedback to address.
I am constantly testing pretty well known products in advance of their release and they are frequently crap. Like one thing I’m working on hasn’t been able to work at all for a week due to some bugs that something I did triggered and they haven’t provided an update yet. However when they actually are available to the general customers, they are pretty much always solid and get good reviews. If I publicly reviewed it, it could tank this product even though no one could possibly hit most of the stuff that I hit.
A full embargo seems fair. The selective embargo seems like an unfair idea, but also is a bad idea. If everyone knows they are allowed to talk about it, but only the good parts, then people will be speculating on what is not said. One product I tested had someone fanboying so hard about it they were begging the product team to lift the embargo so they could share their enthusiasm. They said no, they didn’t want partially informed internet speculation running until they could address all aspects of the product publicly, and frankly there was too much crappy parts even if he was over the moon over the product and didn’t really use the bad parts.
I suppose I could see being uncomfortable with the “testers” also being the likely “reviewers”, because your are developing to the tastes of specific reviewers and tailoring for a good review in the end even if those reviewers aren’t fully representative of the general population. It’s easier to get a few dozen key influencers happy by catering to them/making them feel special, than releasing a product and hoping you hit their sensibilities.

I was literally playing as a girl before it was cool in the early-00s (as a straight cis guy). My friends called me gay or thought it was weird and so did other gamer guys. Now all my friends do it and it’s popular in general (again, in relation to straight cis guys).
I sometimes want to play as a guy now because it’s too mainstream and I’m a hipster asshole. Only half kidding.
Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying “I use Arch btw” is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
The saving grace for the “Linux user” commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.
I checked the video and found the comment. Commenting about using Linux on that video is the equivalent of finding a turkey recipe and commenting “No thanks, I’m a vegan” on it. Then why did you open this video?!
I hope there is a bunch of really sarcastic positive reviews, listing everything they hate about the game as if it’s what they really love about the game.
The ToS forbids satirical reviews. I’d start a review by reading out this portion of the ToS and then make a list of things I hate, just saying I’m not allowed to talk about this aspect of the game, or this aspect of the game, etc, etc.
Thats not a cop, but a “vote support officer” who help you vote for the right candidate even if you already have one in mind 😄😉
He saw that the lady clearly did not need support making a decision and went to get some coffee.
After all this is just a prime example of a far more efficient democracy in action. Why waste time voting individually? Its clearly faster to vote at the same time.
Sure. Though that doesn’t change the shittiness at all. It just represents the issue the loudest, and one that occurs in more places than just the U.S.: Abysmal working conditions and shitty bosses. Forgive me for pointing out something I think everyone already understands, though we are part of a global economy. To create effective change we should also act as a global force to promote those changes.
In a perfect world, at least. Sadly, problems on our own doorstep takes away a lot of energy to do just that.
We’re doing that thing where we blame the person and not the system that provokes these choices. Statistically, a significant number of people in the U.S. are living paycheck-to-paycheck. To them their life almost literally depends on making it to work. I am not saying it isn’t stupid and dangerous. I am saying that being a few minutes late for safety shouldn’t decide if you get to eat that week. It should, by any reasonable account, be requested to make up. Not placed on some arbitrary point system or lofted lazily over the person’s head as a form of control.
Just to add on to what you are saying, around 62 percent of us live paycheck to paycheck. On top of that, we have at-will employment laws in most states, that allow an employer to fire a non-union employee for any reason they want, as long as they don’t violate federal labor laws. It’s also easy for employers to make up a reason for termination, even if they are violating said labor laws.
We need to unionize and get some power to the workers back in this country. People won’t do this kind of thing nearly as often if their livelihood isn’t at risk of being taken away.
I legitimately cannot imagine a scenario where you have time to clear this eye hole, but don’t have another 30s to clear the rest of the windshield. It’s pure laziness, regardless of how exploited your surplus labor might be.
Having been this person, I can assure you it’s not laziness. Sometimes you really are that late, and 30 sec can be the difference between going through traffic lights or hitting a red light. It could be the difference between being in front of or behind a school bus on a one lane road.
The biggest cost Uber has is recruitment. And as the cost of vehicles has risen, the efforts they have to go through to get and keep productive drivers has climbed with it.
This is less about Uber market share than the real cost of operating an automobile between 2008 and 2024.
