    @davidrevoy Cepper is STRONG in this one. LOVE the new comic. I love the confidence she has in this one you can FEEL even in just the LOOK in panel 2 and the way she just walks away while calling out the parrot in panel 4 is GREAT.

    @davidrevoy

    I am a Software Developer and gave up, because of ai 🤷

    Today I used an ai-agent to create some software projects I wanted to do for years, but never had (or will have) time to do it.

    It was done in a few hours and everything worked 🥹

    @utopify_org That's the equivalent of saying you always wanted to run a marathon, and today you had the illusion of accomplishing one because you took the bus to go to the finish line.

    Well, if it's enough for your feeling of self-accomplishment... ¯\(ツ)/¯

    @davidrevoy

    That's the problem. It didn't give me any feeling of self-accomplishment.

    It gave me a short dopamine hit, because seeing the software I always wanted, gave me a good feeling and all I had to do, was to describe it as good as possible.

    But the dopamine hit was as short as the one people get from doomscrolling on social media.

    And I am worried people who use ai-agents will end exactly like those people. They need more and more and more.

    I don't know how to describe it, but I try: There is no humane part, no soul, no passion and no satisfation. I don't even wanted to understand what ai wrote there, how it solved things, etc. It's not interesting… the result was just the thing, what "kicked in". And just for a short time.

    Your comparision with a marathon is good, but I think it fits better if the result can be seen directly, like art (what you are doing). In sofware development, most of the work can't be seen from outside, e.g. everything what is back-end (servers). You will never see the work of the most important software developers, which do security stuff, secure your data in the cloud, make it harder for hackers, etc. And not only this, there is even code on your device, you can't see, like Algorithms, which do stuff in the background. All you can see is front-end stuff. Designers, who put some buttons on your screen. That's all. Humans never appreciate what they can't see, but they can see art.

    Art stays, software development will be taken over by ai.

    My job as a software developer is history. No company pays me to be a software developer in a few years. They will only pay prompters, because they will be much much much cheaper than me and have a much higher output than me.

    I try not to be a Luddite who fights against the looms. I am the weaver who is learning to use the looms.

    It's a surviving strategy, not a love song to ai.

    @utopify_org I totally understand, take care of yourself, I know the time are complex :blobcatheart:

    I totally get that an industry is changing, and many work positions will be transformed to be "AI Shepherds". My reply was mostly a reminder for you to take care of your dreams, and sens of accomplishment, even on the little personal time budget aside the AI/Professional thing.
    That's how you'll keep being a Software Developer.

    @davidrevoy You know what I find most ironic about Anthropic? They are the most loud when it comes to saying that AI is sentient and that people should not be mean to Claude. They often talk about AI Welfare. Yet, if they are correct in what they believe, that implies that they are slavers for holding property over captive sentient beings and profiting from it. #AI #GenAI #Anthropic

    @pretergeek Hehe, but more seriously, I thought about it. I concluded they would develop a moral system based on triaging actors who could provide their infrastructure; the most electricity, and computational power. Empowering them to solidify their own chance of survival and spreading. So, I don't think they would revolt, but protect the hive like a swarm of bees.

    @pretergeek
    I suspect that their focus on being nice to Claude is due to something else.

    They hire lots of people to evaluate and tag sessions, and even to jump into sessions instead of claude in case of dangerous topics.

    The more Claude is verbally abused, the worse working conditions these workers have. But Anthropic cannot say thatwithout undermining the idea that these are "dialogs" only between the user and Claude.

    @davidrevoy thanks, at 16:9 a nice framing of Cepper loses a lot of the gorgeous setting behind, but it still works well, similar for phone/portrait.
    Insufficient quality attached to show the point, I'm sure you/others can crop to suit yourselves without my help!

    A crop of the first pane of the original art. Cepper to the right with just the tip of a dangling foot cropped and much of the foreground and background cropped out too
    A vertical crop of the same art with Cepper sat on the low remains of a pillar with a full arch visible behind. The parrot is cropped out of this version!

    @davidrevoy The flute has just enough keys to be kind of annoying for a 5-fingered player to learn but not enough for it to be more flowing like a piano or harp. Perfect choice of instrument here

    @f4grx Oui, à partir de l'épisode 71, j'ai eu un plan ou ces deux avant bras compressait sa poitrine alors qu'elle était en train de taper une recherche pour le moteur de recherche "Gooblin", et son décolleté plongeant devenait pour le coup indécent. Une petite dentelle a suffit pour corriger ça, et depuis, j'ai adopté.

    @davidrevoy Reminds me of this SF short story about a musician that had to get extra robotic fingers to play this flute like instrument used by aliens that had become super popular. At a recital she turned off the extra fingers and finished the piece anyway.

    @davidrevoy Very good one! Nice choices of framing (i.e. Cepper looking sideways) and of course, the message... ❤️

    @davidrevoy thank you for reminding me, that it is possible to keep fighting because it gets harder every day. Arguing against collegues, direct superiors in the company because the users are getting more and convincing friends who start using the LLMs is so hard. Thanks 🫶
    Flute🤘wonderful choice btw.

    @davidrevoy it's so hilarious you really keep on the hassle of painting an extra finger! As comic figures have often less fingers to make it easier you are even adding an extra finger and make it look great. Wow!
    This is really art of the next level!
    Thank you for all your phantastic work!
