I wouldn't expect customers to say what they really want. They are looking for faster horses after all. But law professors? Among all professors, law professors should be the ones saying what they really want.
I've lowered my expectations over the years, but there's this single stupidity that drives me crazy: When you search for a keyword and play a song from the results, playback continues with the rest of the search results. Why the hell would I want to play all of the songs with similar names? iOS Music, on the other hand, does the expected and creates a station from the first played search result.
GP commenter got my attention during the last few days. Judging by their claims of productivity, they should have been a billionaire already. I'm curious to know their motivation behind making such outrageous claims.
I’ve seen their outrageous comments so often I wonder if it’s Sam Altman’s alt account. Probably the biggest AI snake oil merchant on the forum these days, with a sadistic pleasure at seeing people losing their job to AI.
Providing a negative reference is totally different than gathering negative references and selling them. The former could be legal while the latter could be illegal.
in my comment, i was speaking more generally than i should have, and that (obviously, in hindsight) caused some confusion between the specific case of the hypothetical company, and the general case of an employer providing a negative reference. my bad -- and it is too late to edit to provide clarification.
No problem, I wasn't very clear either! I remember someone I know looking into this in the early 2000s as part of a wider collective thing. It's long enough ago that I can't remember the details but it was definitely less about a poor reference and more about the individuals' being on a list somewhere without having even applied for a job. And come to think of it, it's probably even more illegal now because of GDPR.
Once, I told a friend that it was stupid that Claude Code didn't have native IDE integration. His answer: “You don't need an IDE with Claude Code.”
I've begun to suspect response that this technology triggers a kind of religion in some people. The technology is obviously perfect, so that any problems you might have are because of you.
I find that I vastly prefer Gemini CLI to antigravity, despite the latter being an ide. Others feel the opposite. I believe it comes down to how you are using AI. It's great they both options exist for both types of people.
In many experience, many of the statistics these people use doesn't matter in the success of a business --- they are vanity metrics. But people use statistics, and especially the wrong statistics, to pass their agenda. Regardless, it's important to fix the statistics.
