Fucking gross trying to make people think the site crashed to trick people into turning off their adblocker .

If you use Voyager, go to the settings and turn on the setting that opens links in Reader Mode. You’ll be able read articles without all that BS.
Where is that setting? I’m not seeing anything that looks right in my settings.
Looks like it’s in general

I’m not seeing that option, it looks like it’s specific to using safari.
It’s says safari, but it should say “default browser”.
I don’t use safari and it works fine. If you are on Android, it might say something else?
Does not exist in android 😭
Is this an iPhone feature? I can’t find anything for Android
I’m not sure. Maybe post about it in the Voyager community and the devs can advise or add it?
EDIT: I did a search in the community for Reader Mode on Android and it looks like Android doesn’t have an API that allows for apps to use Reader Mode, but Safari on iOS does.
TLDR; They can’t add it to Android because Chrome doesn’t support that feature.
Could you tell me where the setting is supposed to be?
It’s on the General Settings tab. I just learned that it doesn’t work on Android though because Chrome doesn’t support that feature.

It’s in a section explicitly marked as Safari why would that work on Android?
I wouldn’t have any way of knowing what settings are on Android, would I? I don’t know if there’s a Chrome version or not.
I’m just trying to help other people find a cool feature.
I initially got around it by opening in safari and hiding distracting items but I like this solution better.
Safari also has a reader mode. You can choose to set it automatically based on the site.

These modes disable JavaScript and makes articles much easier to read. It works with some paywalls too, but not all.
Sounds like an opportunity for workers to sabotage the system by using AI too much without increasing productivity. Let the assholes figure it out for themselves.
Some companies are already firing people to save on salary costs and pay more for AI.
It seems to be basically crack for the command centers of capitalist companies.
AI seems like a genius solution for the mediocre and the lazy. I guess all these tech companies are full of mediocre and lazy people in the c-suite.
Unfortunately it’s a bit of an “emperors new clothes” situation as none of them will admit AI is worse than what they were told
blowing the budget is their own damn fault. they put up a leaderboard, ffs.
even ranked their internal usage competitively on internal leader boards,
Bloomberg reports that the company has instituted a new rule that places a monthly $1,500 cap per employee and per agentic coding tool, including Anthropic’s Claude Code or Cursor.
They went from threatening people’s jobs if they didn’t use more AI, to threatening people’s jobs if they use too much AI.
And it’s ALL the workers’ fault, the dummies. Let’s replace them all with AI.

That’s a lot. I recently reported a coworker who was spending over 100 euros on ai. We’re a school.
Wow, imagine if they had put that budget into paying their employees.
$1500 per employee per agent per month? So assuming that’s between three agents, that’s literally $4500 per employee per month that they’re choosing to waste instead of just paying their employees better…
Meanwhile…

Jesus that’s it?!?! That’s less than 6/hr assuming the 20 minute estimate holds (which it won’t)
I don’t think that covers the gas…
includes expected tip
What? How??
Are people in TX bad tippers?
I would say that Uber is a shitty company. Tipping is bs, you should get paid a decent salary and it’s your employer’s responsability to do that.
Ok… Unfortunately, the current model is absolutely not that. So I’m not going to make the person making Uber deliveries to make ends meet suffer by stiffing them on the tip
That’s a good way to perpetuate the cycle. Also, who tips BEFORE getting a service?
Someone who wants to order delivery food because they’re pretty much forced to?
You can give the delivery driver a tip when they get there. I’ve been doing that for decades.
I think the user decides how much to tip in advance, and the app conveys that information to potential matches. Orders with low tips tend to sit there unclaimed, because no driver wants to bother with that
I’m not sure if Uber does it that way, but Doordash does.
Yeah but how cheap is the delivery itself, if the total with tip is under $2?
I never go less than $5 when I use these apps, and I usually get pretty good service
But you’re seeing a screenshot of an unmatched order that no driver has claimed yet. I’m saying that unless an actual match is accepted, that’s not really evidence that people in a place don’t tip well, just that some people don’t get their orders filled.
If you never give less than $5, then any order you’re involved in will involve at least a $5 tip. That may not be representative of the orders you’re not involved with.
Right, I guess I assumed it was posted because it’s a normal occurrence in that area.
That may not be representative of the orders you’re not involved with.
I mean yes…? No shit?
site is dead with adblock, before anyone bothers to visit it
shitty website = downvote
What adblocker are you using? Site works fine with Ublock Origin in Firefox.
plain firefox and an outdated pihole
Oh thats sad. Wouldn’t have wished it on a better corporation…
You know what’s crazy is we’re still in the “charge not enough to make money” phase of these VC backed startups trajectory. It’s gonna be wild when we aren’t in the “hook the users with unrealistic token prices” phase.
Uber caps employee AI spending after blowing through budget in 4 months
AI is getting expensive, and some companies are cutting back on usage in an attempt to moderate costs. That cohort includes Uber, which recently instituted internal usage caps as a way to cut down on its exorbitant AI spend.
Bloomberg reports that the company has instituted a new rule that places a monthly $1,500 cap per employee and per agentic coding tool, including Anthropic’s Claude Code or Cursor. The usage is trackable via an internal dashboard that each employee has access to, although — in certain cases — the caps can be exceeded with permission, the company says.
The news is perhaps not too surprising, since, in April, the company’s CTO revealed that the ridesharing giant had blown through its entire annual AI budget in a matter of four months. That appears to have occurred after Uber encouraged staff to use AI “as much as possible” and even ranked their internal usage competitively on internal leader boards, The Information previously reported.
Uber’s COO, Andrew Macdonald, also recently cast doubt on AI’s productivity impact, noting during a podcast appearance that “it’s very hard to draw a line” between AI usage and new consumer features.
Uber’s cutback raises a broader issue that the tech industry is currently facing: As enterprises pour money into AI, where exactly is the return on investment? Indeed, AI ROI has so far remained a largely theoretical phenomenon that everybody hopes will eventually materialize — although some companies are obviously getting a little restless while they wait.
I guess more AI doesn’t mean more productivity. Who could’ve imagined?
Lol
Wtf is Poe? Is this an ad for Poe?
Did the article exceed your context window?
I’ve got tokens coming out of my ass.
I had no intention of reading the article. But why we you so antagonistic? Are you the creator of Poe?
Sometimes Lemmy crowd really confuses me. Am I supposed to know what Poe is? Is it not ok to make a joke at its expense?
Between the comments here and the article itself, there are exactly three mentions of whatever tf it is you’re talking about… all from you.
It’s literally on the thumbnail… There’s 5 well known AI products and this random thing. Are they trying to make it seem that it’s on the same level?
Have we really gone from commenting based on intelligently reading the article, to reading only the title, to commenting based on the generic stock image thumbnail?
