sorry, it is too funny seeing the words "hole-driven development" and "cockx" on the same screen

You know what’s likely to end human life on Earth? A 3°–4° rise in global mean temperature. Let’s panic about that.

> The most toxic thing to happen in the F/OSS world is the attitude that some people are so smart (because they’ve created successful projects) that you cannot criticise them. The idea that, because someone created something good, they are infallible is disastrous for them, the projects they run, and the broader ecosystem.

This also ties in to the wider protestant moral framework where work is viewed as a moral good, making it easy to rationalize bad people who are productive as being net neutral

I want to remind you: these bastards have spent $1.5 trillion of society's money on this technology. That it's produced *something* should not be surprising. That's 'solve aging', 'cure cancer', 'eliminate all poverty', 'shift climate change into reverse', or 'send a probe to another solar system' money. It's not 'write shit software 20% faster' money.

this orange guy was seemingly abandoned by his mom in a crawlspace under neighbor's roof and after screaming for a few hours ended up crawling up to the edge and dropping down right into our hands

mfer doesn't even know how to eat on his own, we had to feed him milk from a syringe

So, thinking about the Codeberg "No All AI" code thing...

Why would anyone reuse a library or function generated by AI? It's fungible, and can (and probably should) be regenerated. There's no expertise or skill that went into generating that code. There's no tangible benefit other than maybe reducing your token spend. It is, by definition, eminently replaceable.

So why should a site like Codeberg provide expensive hosting space for what is, in any practical sense, disposable code? It's like demanding that dishwashers accept paper plates.

I've had a real life conversation like this myself.

At some point the guy went "the planet is effectively infinite, so the market is also infinite, hence there will always be someone to pay for the slop"

Something has to be said about the obsession with development velocity everyone seems to have.

Okay, sure, let's say an LLM allowed a patch to be delivered in a two days, instead of five days. Did it actually need to be implemented that fast?

Does anyone actually benifit from this?

I keep seeing the "cars replaced horses" thing related to "AI."

People keep comparing "AI" to cars (positively) without thinking about the fact that cars were forced on people (GM bought up and destroyed tram lines, there were massive protests, etc), and are the primary driver of climate change that is currently on track to make complex human society impossible. Meanwhile, cities that weren't destroyed for cars, or that have reversed most of the damage, are some of the most desirable places to live.

Maybe we could take the car analogy as a warning. Maybe it could be a reminder to think about how forcing technology on people against their will can reshape society in a profoundly negative way.

The answer for cities has been to right-size transit. Eliminate cars wherever possible, maintain emergency vehicles and mobility aids, and find more efficient alternatives (bikes, trams, metros, and trains) where possible. I feel as though we can extrapolate from the metaphor.

We do not have to repeat the mistake of reshaping society around a single, oversimplified, solution in order to benefit a tiny minority. Perhaps we can actually choose the right technologies based on use cases, rather than hype or dogma.

Cars didn't replace horses. Cars replaced walkable cities, tram lines and mass transit, and children playing in the streets.

"Cars replaced horses" to the benefit of a small group of elite men, at tremendous cost to literally everyone else. When people say, "AI is the new 'cars replacing horses'" they are saying something very specific about their privilege and intentions.

Edit: I write AAA, but it should have been GM and related companies. Look up the "General Motors streetcar conspiracy." And yes, that means that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was actually based on real events that you didn't realize were real.

Uh, so like, do jobs still exist?

I'm looking for one, and it feels like there are barely any positions. Is this what the market was like during dotcom burst and 2008 financial crisis?

There have been a bunch of "moderate" AI pieces (including a few that I have boosted) that have objected to being tarred with the term "slop", and I think there's a real effort right now in the AI booster camp to define the term as an explicit *judgement of quality* — i.e. "this is bad, and it was made with AI, so it's slop" — which retroactively allows every "slop" discussion to center around subjective evaluations of quality / merit / utility etc. For me that's not really what the word means.

Hungry for using more consts, but compiler says no? Try 30 to 40 features. An easy usability fix. Take them right from nightly with some allow(incomplete_features).

You will certainly not regret enabling 30 to 40 features.
