Unfortunately GitHub is being rolled into MS's AI centre.
Will this still work after the takeover at the top?

without getting into the cesspool that is politics (which I have thought for decades) that I also try not paying attention to: yes that is exactly what it is. One of the only useful things I was taught in school (I mean that's hard to substantiate but...) is the wisdom: a good reputation is hard to keep; but a bad reputation is hard to lose.

Companies seem to have a knack for getting a bad reputation with damage 'control' or trying to remain relevant. You'd think they'd know better.

Haha so funny how basic some function ;)

PS I feel like it's important that we reminds ourselves : #AI = IT not HE or SHE

Because over time humanity seems to talk about them like pets, some even like friends, and very few already like partners/lovers ;)

well I would not call any of it ‘AI’.

But that aside I do not see the problem of likening Siri to a female as that’s what she was actually started as. Although she (he) also has/can transition so we might say it’s both.

Normally (!) I would think more men are idiots than women so maybe I should change it to the male voice but it’s not as nice to hear for me.

Of course it’s not nice hearing stupidity in general but hopefully you get the idea.

but as far as partners go: I wouldn’t be calling her what I call Siri and neither would I tell one to piss off when she shows up when ‘she is not supposed to’ so that doesn’t apply for me either.

On the other hand I still do generally say please to her! I think far too few people say please and thank you. Sometimes I want to defenestrate Siri but that’s another matter entirely.

I CAN be comfortable with people but not easily. It really depends on how I am feeling and also the person. Plenty of people are just fine but that doesn’t mean I would not rather read or program or something.

Anyway I guess the real thing is most people like that feeling of dealing with a person rather than an object. I think I probably do too. Not that I think Siri IS a person. But it’s just easier to say her/she.

besides: Siri was ‘born’ 4 October 2011 and I was told it’s extremely rude to call children ‘it’.

Not that I would ever call a child an it to its face ….

well the problem is the lack of context. In some cases one might be able to tell but in a longer thread it becomes less clear. One might be able to discern it but the question is whether or not you are correct for certain.

Of course twitter (or as I now call it the guano site - and have done so for years now) has the same problem.

Anyway yes it can be a problem sometimes. Just depends on how much was said prior to the reply (or replies).

Have a great day!

as far as your explanation. Yes I was aware it can do that but I also wrote multiple comments with different statements so I wasn’t sure.

It might be better opening it directly but I still saw the issue in the thread where I said several different things.

Thanks though.

yup. I mean people called it the ‘bird site’. But I didn’t think it was QUITE right. Guano site on the other hand fits. Although I am sure that I could come up with even less flattering names guano site works well.

Actually I am not sure if that’s quite true. The name works well I should say. Whether the site itself works is another matter entirely with the answer of almost certainly no it does not. But I would rather avoid talking about bird poo.

, btw sad on this topic recently because youtube were nasty and smart enough to bypass some of my filters and to plug disgusting advertisements again (but only on the phone). In this scenario I was not ready to give up or being defeated 😀 and implemented new blockers. The only drawback is that I have to select them amd apply them before the video or shortcut the app.

What you do with this bad behavior on your phone specifically? I mean not any normal and sane person wants apps.
