If you believe data entry is 80% of the work here, you do not in the slightest understand the other ”20%”. I can assure you that data entry is the least of your problem. If you have the data, a script to enter it into a DB will be the least of the worries here.

That’s also why you likely can pick someone up on Fiverr to do it for you for a couple of hundred bucks. Or do it yourself. Want someone to build your app, even without the data entry? You’re looking at thousands.

And that’s basically what you will need to do. Pay someone to do the work you can’t. Look at upwork or similar sites.

I get paid $150/h to write code at work (horrible pay compared to many parts of the world). Why would I spend months on your project for less?

What do you think the response would be if you asked on a remodelling forum, how you were to complete your new kitchen? You’ve bought the tools needed, the material. Drawings are made. It’s just the last ”20%” left. Where can I find someone to do it? Well, it’s not the last 20%. The job hasn’t even started yet. And you pay someone, or learn to do it yourself.

Even as a Swede I stopped using Spotify a while ago. That company can die tomorrow for all I care

It’s the size really. As with most social media platforms, often they are fairly easy to create (YouTube definitely isn’t, but many could). Problem is that it’s impossible to compete with, because people expect the activity you get from hundreds of millions of users.

Same goes for Twitter, Reddit and whatnot. Since capitalism took over the internet completely, basically none of the large plattforms have been outcompeted really.

To big to fail isn’t the banks nowadays, well then to, but it’s IT as well.

50% is decent, if it had any idea of when it actually was correct or not. But 50% is not very good, when the 50% that’s faulty, results in it going of on a long tangent spewing lies. Lies that are incredibly real looking, takes immense knowledge or huge amounts of time to check.

If you’re well versed enough in the subject to spot the lies, you likely wont get much help from AI. And if you aren’t, well, you’re going to be learning a lot of incorrect information. Or spend ridiculous amount of times fact checking.

Works a bit like that for software developing at the moment. AI is incredibly at spewing out code quickly. But the time won by copying it, is lost looking for errors that are extremely well hidden.

Worse than Nasdaq losing 80% of its value? Highly doubt it. Tech companies were bleeding.

What’s worrying is social media being politicised. There was a time when it was not, and it was hell of a lot better than what we have now.

I’m not on Bluesky because it aligns with my political views. I’m there because I do not have to look at, or engage in politics. I can speak about my interests. Really quite lovely.

It’s not the same though.

• Chronological feed
• No one algo pushing content
• Block-lists

And that’s after you’ve located and understood the problem. That part is often far more complicated and time consuming than the fix itself.

Wouldn’t those 2.5C already be included in cities being 5c warmer…?
