“Within hours of seeing this tweet, we identified the issue, which was related to the underlying design systems that were created. Ultimately it is my fault for not insisting on a better QA process for this work and pushing our team hard to hit a deadline for Config,” Figma CEO Dylan Field said on Twitter. Config is Figma’s annual conference where it showcased Make Design. “I have asked our team to temporarily disable the Make Design feature until we are confident we can stand behind its output. The feature will be disabled when our US based team wakes up in a few hours, and we will re-enable it when we have completed a full QA pass on the underlying design system.”

That’s one way to put this shocking tidbit.

Only 114 million words of spec!

Good thing all the software I install comes with WeatherBug

Capitalism’s great!

Could’ve been triage - deferring maintenance to make payroll. Everything suffering as they try to stay alive. (random speculation 100%)

Good bot

Depending on how:

• much they make
• slow they are learning new things, and
• how long they remain employed

that could be the cheaper path!

And so much more fun for IT regardless!

Best I can do is “[voice assistant] remind me about that post in two months”

Drat, gotta open the reminder and paste in the comment URL too. Do wonder if that bot mentioned is whitelisted or not. More social, beyond just being native. And hopefully it has “send me a PM to reduce spam”

How do I know so little about programming yet this is still so funny?

Maybe the neuroscientists have some insight:

The joys of having $xx/mo to reward creators. (Maybe only $.xx goes to the actual creators but still, it feels better!)

Ohhh didn’t know about that sense of the word in that context. Interesting!

Do you have any idea what the warez scene is like today?

Also there was a bot on the former Warez-BB dot org that would post scene releases seemingly moments after they pre’d. Imagine those kinds of people are on Telegram or something today…

So frustrating.

Can they prevent review fraud without requiring SSNs and background checks and more? (High-dollar item manufacturers could always pay randos to buy their items and leave 4-5 star reviews, right?)

Amazon could kill MRJHABCU and ANWKCB and PPQHZQS brands that give themselves 5000 positive reviews overnight… overnight.

But then the remaining products, wouldn’t they get review frauded real good?

I’m not FBI

being a warez courier.

Spill. You bring those R5s across the ocean? Send audio from the handicap audio jack at the multiplex? Hustle up some telecines? Sneak Battletoads outta the backroom at GameStop before it hit shelves?

This FTC has the balls for it, too.

Amazon. Apple. Who’s next?

For other items they’ll also do butter… and whatever this crap is:

Have to wonder how much Klarna invested in their tech, assuming they’re not big ole fibbers

I would expect plenty of deeply-held values:

Rule 34

Shitposts

CSAM

Disingenuous partisan mis/disinformation

Worst hot takes imaginable

Once electronics get cheap enough, FB will probably ship free devices with some fbOS spyware. Like how they’ll zero rate data if they’re allowed to in a given region.

Per our heroes at the EFF:

Such “pay for play” arrangements favor big content providers who can afford to pay for access to users’ eyeballs, and marginalize those who can’t, such as nonprofits, startups, and fellow users.

Until the systems develop a sense of ‘truth’ beyond numerical statistics, generative ai is pretty much a toy.

I’ll start by saying I am pro-worker, pro-99%, pro-human.

Now, I must refute your assertion for specific domains (and specific working styles), e.g. translation (or a preference for editing over drafting/coding from a blank page). If money used to hit your bank account every two weeks because you translated or provided customer service for a company, and now that money doesn’t come in anymore, it wouldn’t feel too playful or like a toy is involved.

This is today, not “until” any future milestone.

Re-sharing some screenshots I took a month or so back, below.

Also of note from the podcast Hard Fork:

There’s a client you would fire… if copywriting jobs weren’t harder to come by these days as well.

Customer service impact, last October:

And this past February - potential 700 employee impact at a single company:

If you’re technical, the tech isn’t as interesting [yet]:

Overall, costs down, capabilities up (neat demos):

Hope everyone reading this keeps up their skillsets and fights for Universal Basic Income for the rest of humanity :)

OK very interesting. So I figure regulation:

Helps the state punish people IF they get caught

More importantly, makes it harder to advertise & discourages printed parts & guns, leading to lower availability. I imagine most guns used in crimes were Initially purchased legally. I also imagine over time this will shift.
