Any single blemish more serious than a speeding ticket, and you’re out

And rightfully so

Yikes

But would they even be eligible to vote?

Really uncool. Would donate my body to science. But not to train Israeli soldiers. Never for that

Yeah these were both Australian companies that were purchased by american countries.

So yeah, the insanity is here.

You’re right. That is a very “fuck you got mine” position to take.

I will say I have 3 friends, all senior devs. 2 got laid off this month. It doesn’t affect you until it does.

Its not like you can have one without the other. But I’ve found that people demanding responses in “good faith” are rarely engaged in it themselves.

The comment you reaponsed to asked why you aren’t more angry about it. And you responded in support, without any reason why you wouldn’t be mad, and also that it was only taking “bad” jobs.

But I specifically mentioned work at microsoft and Google which aren’t “dog shit”.

Linters have existed for a long time. They were the original AI that generated code. Using AI to supplement work in a similar manner isn’t replacing devs.

So I’vw never used a linter that generates code. I’ve used them to enforce code styles but never to generate code. And code generation isn’t really the point there.

Second. AI isn’t replacing devs? The massive layoffs in the tech sector would disagree. Its also not “dogshit apps”. Google claims 90% of their code is generated and Microsoft claims 30% both come coupled with massive layoffs. To be fair Microsoft is kinda dogshit and Google search sucks now. But googles apps remain higher quality.

If the centrist argument is just to shrug and say “I guess we’re stuck with it”. I guess I’d say you aren’t a centrist and are a tacit supporter of ai.

Its always fascinating that most devs aren’t more frustrated about the wholesale theft of their jobs and things code produced.

Doubly so when it’s all done with the intention of making you obsolete

Ah the centrist approach. 🙄

Just gonna leave this here.

AI is rotting programmers brains

Oh thank god

Academics know. Journals have to retract.

Almost all papers referencing this retracted one cite problems with methodology and definitions, not to mention the timeline that this was published in (2022). There was also doubt that any teaching institutions were using it in any comprehensive way at that time prior.

So yeah. They knew. The journal took convincing though.

I know at least one Evo psych professor who is gonna be pissed about this result.

But he’s wrong so good

We have known the mirror test is flawed for a long long time.

African children consistently failed it until older (than white children) because they didn’t know what a mirror was or what was appropriate to do in the presence of one.

The surveillance is working then.

I haven’t gotten that perception from them. But I mostly listen to their podcasts, which often goes into much more detail than the articles.

Some of the best I’ve seen is 404media.

Interesting articles and a fairly good spread from such a small team.
