Yeah, the way search engines have implemented LLMs have made it much worse.
You can go on google or duckduckgo and search for one thing, click the top link and click back after a few seconds. And the order of results has changed. So the second link you thought might have been correct(and was), is now 5-6 or lower. And the new second link is even worse than the first and usually generative content catered to the first link you clicked(wrongly).
Client side md5 password hashing, JSP, having public facing links to dump the heap due to default configuration…
Either this was made by someone who took a programming course twenty years ago and haven’t touched it since. Or it was intentionally made to be insecure.
It’s all C-suite executives pushing this onto executives below them, who push it onto their organizations as mandates.
That is currently the core of the issue. It’s tech-bros and executives gassing eachother up, and most are too far gone to realize that they’re heading for a cliff.
“It’s about covrage”, “It’s about reach, not public opinion”, etc…
It’s not far off from the data on public opinion, with some outliers.

Translation:
We know the newest low end cards are a terrible upgrade(it’s probably downgrade for many), so they wont sell and we want to make up the loss on our artificially bloated prices by increasing them even more.
I really wish Intel would move faster, so they and AMD can start competing for proper consumer GPUs. Because nvidia has clearly made up their mind that the AI market is the way forwards and it almost seems like they’re trying to kill off their video game department by increasing prices and decreasing quality each generation.
The American exceptionalism is really kicking into high gear now.
TL;DR: It’s illegal to have publically available or share.
Making it illegal to create one for research purposes on your own hardware is not illegal as far as I know. And if it is, I wouldn’t mind seeing someone challenge that with the EU.
For my bank the website works fast, but app does not. So an old backend is not always the issue.
Illegal to publically serve or distribute.
I’m genuinely confused about the use cases you all seem to have. When are you sitting in a field on your phone trying desperately to convert a .avi to a .mkv?
I worked IT for a newspaper back when they were more relevant. The satelite offices and in-field work had a surprising amount of problems like that.
I doubt it’s less than three years.
Different use cases.
It’s not like your uploading and downloading gigabytes to it to use ffmpeg. For that you use something local. This is for converting smaller files conveniently. For example from a laptop and you don’t want to use a public converter that might keep the content.
If you regularly convert certain file types on a computer, dedicated programs tend to be better than these combo ones anyway.
It was used in schools…
Congratulations, you just created a generation of children who will never truly trust authority figures.
It’s been a few years sine youtube stopped making changes designed for desktop. These days they work with a “Made for tablet, compatible for desktop” mindset.
I’m pessimistically assuming that nvidia is going to try and make up the loss by artifically increasing GPU prices even more, despite it being a fraction of the AI revenue.
Wait, they’re trying to implement a feature that would let people see the relevant part of a video without clicking anything?
It’s going to be a few hours until they’re being yelled at by higher ups, because I doubt they told them about that part when they pitched this. That feature would actively and noticably lower their ad revenue and information gathering.
This is what the right is doing, while the DNC is censuring their own members for simply encouraging democrats to run against their own apathetic incumbents.
I’m still shocked at how many seemingly tech-literate people use and defend Brave because of influencers.
They’ve partnered with Motorla and probably Samsung to have it pre-installed. And a lot of people stick to the default one.
As someone who has been the “deal with C-suite issues” IT guy, that is honestly accurate.
