but it’s hardly what you’d call a viable proposition - not at the $198 paid for the modded GPU

Ya. A used 3050 is cheaper than that, still has 8 outputs and 8gb of VRAM. Its cool to see this done as a hobby project but it sounds like this guy just bought it as is, so what’s the point?

That’s the concern with it looking like a potentially great malware vector as things move forward if people are trusting more and more things to AI generated code and not doing thorough review processes.

Kind of a sci-fi thought… what happens if AI uses AI slop code as a vector to insert subtle bits of code in multiple projects that seem innocuous on their own but are actually creating a distributed AI hive mind.

I’m not saying I think that’s what’s happening right now or that it’s possible any time soon, but we’ve seen malware inserted in apps, bitcoin mining on iPhone apps, etc. Skynet Super Claude being created without us noticing isn’t maybe the craziest thing? Someone else said this project is 57k lines of code; aint nobody got time to check all that.

ooof then yeah, she’s being pressured into being eye candy for the managers, disgusting

Without saying too much… no.

Ya, I kind of gathered that from the way it was described but this wasn’t even remotely customer facing. Not that it makes it ok in customer facing jobs either but it blew my mind.

I didn’t realize how bad some of these issues were until I was talking to a woman I work with. She was sort of half considering going back to an old career (white collar, not public facing) instead of our workplace (very much blue collar/male dominated) but she mentioned that she doesn’t want to have to start wearing makeup again. I was a bit confused because I didn’t think that makeup would really be seen as a requirement there. She said it wasn’t a requirement but there was a lot of pressure to do it.

Daily makeup looks almost as bad as occasionally wearing heels to me, but I do neither so IDK.
