Unfortunately, no one can be told what a file is. You have to see it for yourself.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the file system goes.

Even more effective given that they’re probably shooting at civilian ships.

It’s more of a dry cold though!

Yup. This new AI is so dangerous the government won’t let us release it! This AI is so dangerous it might destroy the world!

Not only is it marketing, it’s marketing designed to appeal to only the psychopaths on wall street.

Yeah but what the hell was Christian Bale doing with his voice? I could barely understand that he was saying Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Prostitution?

Defrauding rich dumbfucks is more about who you know, not what you know.

If I knew a few billionaires I’m sure I’d be set for life by just saying the sentence “disruptive AI native crypto prediction market synergy.”

That’s someone else’s problem. They only care about making money this quarter

Same as if all of civilization collapses because of climate change caused by global warming. It’s someone else’s problem, they’re just making money for themselves right now. Consequences are for the government that only suckers pay taxes into.

What is it you think I forgot? No one’s forgetting how there’s people spending a lot of time trying to convince everyone that anything that recognizes the existence of Jews should be labelled “zionists” and be a target of hatred.

I also haven’t forgotten then general pattern of posts on “Lemmy Shitpost”. One day Gal Gadot is the target of your two minutes hate, next day it’s this guy I never even heard of before.

Also I haven’t forgotten that this isn’t the first time in history people have acted this way. Not everything is about comforting you by making you feel like no one notices this pattern of behaviour.

On Youtube you can just click on subscriptions and it only shows content from channels you’re subscribed to. If you make some effort to curate the channels you’re subscribed to, there will be some pretty good content there.

To me, this should be the default page with the recommendation algorithm being an “explore” option to find some other channels to subscribe to.

The big problem with social media is you have millions of people competing with each other to grab attention. If the goal were instead to convince people to subscribe to their channel, people might actually put some effort into creating better content instead of trying to be the first to get out their hot take on whatever is going on. If they adjusted their interface to start up on the subscription feed, and have an explore feed which show maybe ten channels that have had a lot of subscriptions recently, it would probably solve a lot of problems with shit shit tier troll content dominating social media.

Yeah kinda. But I’d say it’s about removing people’s ability to make purchasing decisions in general more than about piracy specifically.

When you can decide whether or not you want to purchase the newest version of MS Office, you might decide that your current version works fine, there’s no new features in the new version you need. So that means companies selling software licenses need to always be putting resources into improving the software to entice people to pay for newer versions.

If the software is all being run from a data center, you have to pay a subscription to be able to use the software and access your data. They no longer need to make any improvements to the software since they have reliable revenue from just maintaining the computers the software runs on.

It’s techno-feudalism. In feudalism, the lord owns the land and the peasants work the land, try to make a living and then need to pay taxes to the lord. It’s a similar dynamic with data centers. The tech lords own the computers, and they allow the peasants to do work on those computers. Businesses try to make some money on the computers owned by the tech lords, but everyone is required to pay a tax to the lord that owns the computers.

Nobody other than boomers have brainrot and nobody other than boomers would ever go along with anything AI related to make money. Definitely just boomers doing that!

My generation is special and is completely pure of any greed and always well-informed!

Yeah I know there’s some really deranged people on the internet.

It’s a bizarre thing when people think that proving the existence of a narrative is the same thing as something being true.

Apparently there’s a synagogue in it so some people are upset by that. You’ll of course claim that Zionism is not the same as antisemitism, while also spending a lot of time reading a lot of articles that tell you to hate a video game because it shows a synagogue in it.

Not everything has something to do with Zionism FFS.

Moldova, Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, and Georgia have actual problems to worry about.

I mean this is just UN navel gazing about the fairness of map projections. Countries that are staring down an increasingly unstable Russia probably aren’t too worried about that.

Would that be cases be where you’re doing something that might appear a little odd, but there is a reason for it to be that way? So if you see something that looks a little odd and there’s a comment explaining it, wouldn’t you be more likely assume that there’s a reason for that code to be that way and it’s probably intentional and not a bug?

And “self documenting code” is just something we say because we don’t want to be bothered with writing comments, if we’re being honest.

Yeah I get it, you’re someone who goes along with the narratives from articles that an algorithm selected for you. I guess you just got comfy with going along AI algorithms in your information consumption so you assume others will too.

Do you completely fail at critical thinking? I’ll slow it down so you can understand:

1. Linus sees sloppy code written by a human

2. Linus sees sloppy code written by an AI

Why did #1 not corrupt him have decades, but #2 definitely will? There is no reason, sloppy code is sloppy code whether written by a human or written by an AI.

You’re equating shitty developers becoming vibe coders with a skilled software engineer using a tool. I think you just don’t know the difference between a junior developer and a senior software engineer. Maybe you just don’t have any experience in software development and are just reading articles on random websites.

You assume humans don’t ever write sloppy code and Linux Torvalds has never before encountered someone wanting to merge in sloppy code before. If in decades he hasn’t gotten comfy with sloppy code written by humans, why would he suddenly be merging in sloppy code written by an AI? He’s never been worried about hurting the feelings of a human that’s writing sloppy, do you suppose he’s going to develop empathy for an LLM that’s writing sloppy code?

The people that go all in on vibe coding are people that aren’t very good programmers to begin with. They don’t really understand how to write code and then suddenly they can make things work quickly. Well sort of work. At least work about as well as they could with their limited skills.

People that are actually good at programming know what good code is. After decades of working with code and knowing what it’s supposed to be, you don’t suddenly become a vibe coder saying eh, it kind of works, good enough, ship it. Its the people that were never able to write high quality code to begin with that do that. It can do the job of a lazy programmer that has a low standard of quality. For a skilled developer, it can sometimes save on typing on some simple tasks, and a good developer knows when it did something wrong and be all Thanos and say “fine, I’ll do it myself”.

Anti-intellectualism doesn’t help yours.
