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.

gazeon.site articles keep getting posted, what is this source? Seems to be mostly a biased, pro-AI rag.

Distrust 😠

  • About Us, unsurprisingly looks to be AI generated and tells us basically nothing
  • Disclaimer, SENDIX?
  • Editorial Standards, does a lot of talking about the ethics of their journalists but when I check, most articles are simply attributed to "GazeOn Team" or Eli Grid, https://x.com/eligrid00, account created June 2025 with no posts and what could easily be an AI generated image

More debunking than this deserves, honestly. It's AI shill garbo

I’ve noticed that 99% of users on Lemmy instances are extremely fearful of AI and lack the courage to accept reality. They are simply not willing to acknowledge that this is the era of AI. Instead of using AI to discover new opportunities, they remain in denial.

Secondly, regarding GazeOn, you should verify the news, stats, and facts mentioned on the site from the internet. Only if they are incorrect should you raise concerns.

hi. I see you registered your account here 2 days ago. welcome to Beehaw.

posting comments that boil down to "99% of you are stupid but luckily I'm here to educate you" is probably going to wear out your welcome pretty fast.

[–] MirchiLover@beehaw.org 1 points 4 hours ago

I registered on Beehaw just 2 days ago, but I've been using Lemmy instances for quite a long time.

is probably going to wear out your welcome pretty fast.

Secondly, I don't really care if my account gets banned. So please refrain from threatening to ban my account.

Uh, sure, so long as you define an "era" as "a period wherein a bunch of C-suites wet themselves over unproven tech." I hope you realize that something having a lot of money behind it for a few years isn't indicative that it's about to revolutionize the world. There are plenty of near-useless things that had lots of excitement behind them, and still didn't go anywhere.

I've seen what GenAI and LLMs can do. It's a magic trick; it looks impressive, but for almost every possible use case just isn't helpful, and unfortunately for all of us, the magicians (i.e. OpenAI et al) are douchebags on top. This is not tech worth advocating for.

Warnings by who? By journalists and managers? They mostly don't understand anything. Very few engineers even mentioned "AI" for the very same reason why engineers are quiet about teleportation, democracy and elves.
