A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The Internet boom didn't have the weird you're-holding-it-wrong vibe too. Legit "It doesn't help with my use case concerns" seem to all too often get answered with choruses of "but have you tried this week's model? Have you spent enough time trying to play with it and tweak it to get something more like you want?" Don't admit limits to the tech, just keep hitting the gacha.
I've had people say I'm not approaching AI in "good faith". I say that you didn't need "good faith" to see that Lotus 1-2-3 was more flexible and faster than tallying up inventory on paper, or that AltaVista was faster than browsing a card catalog.
