Surprisingly engaging narrative for a clicker

What did your uncle do?

I was actually just looking into CSAM moderation and the current state of available solutions is abysmal. Cloudflare’s fuzzy hash comparison is widely recommended as if it’s a get-out-of-jail free card to wash your hands of CSAM detection. But it only detects hashes of known CSAM material. So good luck with minors uploading their own nudes in DMs, let alone dealing with this AI bullshit.

Edit: I should say there are indeed services catered toward corporations that offer these kind of detection. It’s a tier of service where you need to contact sales in order to get pricing if that works as a shorthand for people. I was looking at it as a solo developer and comparing it to a lot of cloud services and platforms, it’s just not catered to smaller scales.

#!/usr/bin/env python

def main() -> None:
    """executes when file is run as a standalone script"""
    print('hello world')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

print('hello world')

It came directly from the board, yeah. Unfortunately, some of my colleagues have indeed found some pretty good uses for doing things like generating certain boilerplate that’s pretty common in our codebase. I don’t think I have a chance of convincing anyone it’s not useful. Just trying to document what it is useless for so I don’t bother with it.

We’re using a company-provided subscription, so they can see our stats. They’re requiring we use it as a trial to see how much it improves productivity. And they specifically said they don’t want us to come to the end of the trial with no feedback because we didn’t like using it.

Would you discount my pain so easily?

Unfortunately, no
