YouTube Music team laid off by Google while workers testified to Austin City Council about working conditions (www.businessinsider.com)

Yeah I don’t understand why Google is being blamed here. If the contact ended with Cognizant then it is upto Cognizant to find other projects for the people who were part of the contract. That’s how it works with these companies. If CTS couldn’t find work in other projects then it’s on CTS and not on Google

I see. Thanks for this. Explains it more clearly. I thought the situation was more amicable than this.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' (www.404media.co)

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

I would think there are still plenty people who like having the power of being a “moderator” and would be willing to do it for free. So even though reddit lost plenty of mods, there will still be people who’d continue doing it.

Pixelemme ,

That’s true as well. I understand the emotional connection I would have had if I was part of the community from the beginning. It is not easy to build communities and also be responsible for it. I was not pointing at such folks.

Reddit is a treasure trove for LLMs. Plenty of corporates out there willing to pay. Its just funny to see what the outcome of an AI purely trained by the regular shitposting that reddit has will be. 🤣

Pixelemme ,

Yep. But that is something that we have to wait and see. Understanding people has become tricky nowadays. Reddit may as well use bots for moderation and project them as actual users to show a false narrative. Anyways we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

I wonder if they will ever consider paying the users for the content they provide that constitutes “its” data. 🤔

Pixelemme ,

Yeah. They are giving the users the “privilege” to buy shares at the open market rate. Not even at discounted rates. Again US only. What about the others? They just give their data I suppose.

You know it’s just sad. Fitbit buying Pebble and not using any of that in their watches. Then Google buying Fitbit and not using any of that tech either. Just so much potential being wasted.

Pixelemme ,

Hopefully this gets better adoption than the 7 gen 1 series. There are very few phones available with that series of chips.

Pixelemme ,

Yeah we are at a point where most apps don’t need the most powerful chip out there. We need more efficient ones.

Pixelemme ,

They probably are already planning for this. Will integrate it into Google fit eventually and drop the fitbit brand. Then a couple of years later they’ll drop that as well. 🤦‍♂️

Season 3 is so boring and it’s all over the place. It feels like a soap with ten seconds of action thrown in each episode. I’ve only seen the first six so far and will just grind out the last two and leave it. Season 1 was so good. 2 was meh and 3 is just awful. Rience was supposed to be this powerful foe and he gets killed in what 1.5 seconds? Cahir just drops and joins their team? I mean when we finally meet Emyhr will he also just turn around and apologise to Ciri and make her the queen? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Pixelemme ,

I didn’t get it. What is he trying to show there? Can anyone explain pls?

Pixelemme ,

Oh. Wow.

Pixelemme ,

Inflation is through the roof 😅🤣

Sometimes I feel that android pre Lollypop was quintessential android. KitKat was so good on the Nexus 4. I had zero issues and I still miss the ticker notifications. Much simpler times I guess.
