Our company develops software for medical devices. Risk assessment is everything, and we currently do “You can use AI, but you are responsible that the result works and is correct” and “You can use it, but do not input any company secrets, confidential data, medical records, or things like passwords and security-relevant data”.

I guess the difference is we’re too busy making things and we don’t have the time to brag about AI on social media? Also we’re small and don’t have the reach anyway.

Have not used it for programming.

At work, this is to some extent because we haven’t decided yet whether to trust sending away our codebase to be potentially trained on.

In general, this is because I find the agressive FOMO-inducing marketting revolting, and because it would be increasing our dependence on big tech companies where I believe we should do just the opposite.

I did use it once or twice to get pointers on topics I wasn’t familiar with (e.g., new standards or protocols, …), mostly just to get a helicopter view and some sources to follow it up when i was in a rush at work. Would not do that on my personal time.

I wouldn’t object to using an open-source/open-training, ethically trained, self hosted model.

As much as I dislike AI, programming is a field where there’s always something for someone to hate. E.g., should we ban C++ articles because there’s a lot of Rust fans that hate them?

Your two options are not exclusive. Just create a community to discuss AI programming, cross post to the generic programming community if you think it’s relevant, and let people upvote/downvote as they see fit.

Where to begin… I think numerous sources already discuss what is bad about Amazon, the shopping website, and its CEO. One among many other issues, which I think shows best what Amazon’s values are: for all the resources they have, the Amazon website is terrible to use, and it’s done on purpose. Search filters are useless, promoted products show up everywhere… The website isn’t designed for you to find the things you want, it’s designed for you to buy what somebody else wants to sell. This isn’t a business model I care for, and if that’s what the company is about, I don’t want anything to do with them or any of their products, no matter how good or popular.

Can’t speak for everybody else, but I personally don’t approve of Amazon or any of their services, so I will downvote any content that promotes them, directly or not.

Why would their experience be relevant? They’re asking a question, so obviously they have things to learn. You could be nicer about it.

I hadn’t bought a bundle in a long time, maybe I just don’t remember it being that bad, but really? Even with the “extra to charity” preset, the charity gets less than Humble themselves? That’s kind of gross.

That’s crazy. Google/DDG bloat from SEO websites had already driven me out a while ago, so I hadn’t noticed. I’ve been using Kagi for a few months now, and I find I can trust my search results again. Being able to permanently downgrade or even block a given website is an awesome feature, I would recommend it just for that.
