Yes. Also big tech

We've been commanded to rework all workflows to be agentic, whatever the hell that means.

Even better, it's overeager interns that don't learn.

LLM booster nonsense.

Executives are enamored with AI because they cream their pants at the idea of being able to lay off the vast majority of their employees.

ICs are more sceptical (or at least more likely to be sceptical, the number of LLM booster ICs I know is disappointing but they are the minority by far) about it because we do real work and can see first hand that this shit isn't what it's being sold as.

I just submitted a new app for the first time under a new dev account a few weeks ago and didn't run into this though, that's why I'm confused.

Odd. The only thing I can think it might be then is that the company had a business account instead of a personal one. That might be something you can do more easily than finding 12 testers.

Or unfortunately it could just be Google randomly deciding to make things harder.

Interesting! I just published an app for a new company not long ago and didn't have to do this. Is the Google account you're using new, or is there some sort of verification step you can do?

Why do you need 12 people to beta test? It's not a play store requirement.

Very true

I mean, I also think leveraged buyouts are dumb and should at the least be a lot more regulated than they are if not made illegal, but your example here is bad because that's exactly how car loans work.

Normal car loans have the title of the car go to the bank because the car itself is being used as collateral for the loan, just like a house is with a mortgage.

Jesus, this reads like something out of a spy thriller. If it wasn't from the CBC I wouldn't believe it for a second.

Birds hitting windows and dying is a real problem. This isn't funny, it's sad.

Is it just me, or do those look nothing like the rock and Emily Blunt? Is it just heavy CGI for .....reasons?
