    I got an LG TV back in 2016 and realized immediately that when plugged in to my network, it was broadcasting an open wifi signal. Hard no from me, so I unplugged it and used an Xbox as my media center for years. I’ve never seen a forced update message or ads.

    Yeah it is an extra step to stream things, but I was going to have it plugged in anyway as it doubles as a DVD player.




  • Wow. This was a great read and I feel reflects what many people are thinking right now. The author talks about using AI for non coding purposes, even medical questions. This is where it gets dangerous.

    Anecdotally at work I have several team members who are junior/mid level (non software dev roles). Last year they were just keeping the lights on, not doing much coding and rarely providing feedback on architecture, design, or even technical merits. Now they run everything through an agent, regurgitating the output for someone else to read.

    When asked in a meeting about their comments, it is like they never said it. They have no idea what they pasted. Their understanding of the topic is shallow. Yet they are being promoted to staff level for using AI and contributing more.

    More and more, I see tech workers becoming meat proxies for AI agents, and it sickens me.
