bro's hallucinating a devil on his shoulder and he's like "this is the next big thing"

This particular metaphor makes the opposite point you think it does.

Wow gross.

yeah i guess that's more accurate and also shows how capitalism is to blame lol

I'm totally fine with people coding by hand in their own time as a hobby. I would suggest you make sure you're training up on ai coding as well, but if you enjoy the craft of coding, go right ahead

"Why do people hate AI advocates" gee I wonder

Nope. You actually give a shit about the thing you spent time learning to do.

i dont care if someone used AI to assist them, its like whatever. but u cant just say "oh u lying if u dont use it at all!!!!", like actually shut the fuck up at that point.

But have fun with your temporary tech toy

really not a fan of being called "delusional" for wanting to write the code myself. was this supposed to make me more interested in using AI in my work?

Some people are just slow to look into new tools and assume AI can't help them reflexively. No delusion or deceit involved, they just need some time to be shown the effort-reward ratio in practice and how to navigate their ethical concerns

I think you have a very tiny perspective of a very large industry. Some of us maintain codebases so old and fucked that AI shits itself instantly.

How about lets ditch the car and go with mass public transportation?

don't want to be criticized? don't use it

look up what just happened in the past day with "bsky38"

word?

I do think it's wrong to harass other people. The best outcome of this was just for the larger bluesky community to just not use it at all and not harass its creators. Unfortunately, you cant throw a bag of ice into a hot deep frier expecting it to just not do anything

I think AI coding is fine. It's just that the GPL needs to be enforced.

Red light goes missing 🔴

This analogy is spot on since both cars and LLM usage make people act really stupid and antisocial

Crossing the Donner Pass by covered wagon because the Amtrak is unethical.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that

idk some people are just insanely cracked

I’d feel a lot better about the whole thing if it didn’t seem so much like the goal is to enrich a handful of the worst people in the world at everyone else’s expense

"No practical high ground" is a strange thing to be certain of when there are studies showing links between LLM usage and cognitive decline

life is full of trade offs and people are built to forget, carrying forward the good is how we survive as people

Leave it to a vibecoder to keep using antiquated cars when the solution is trains.

This is the whole problem with a lot of the anti-ai rhetoric: it asserts that everything is stealing, because suddenly it's decided that copyright is very important (it's bad, actually), and that the only value in anything is monetary gain It's turning leftists into conservatives with little effort

99% of programmers do not assert any ownership over their code and want other people to use it, especially if they feel they have figured out a particularly useful design such as a new algorithm or etc. Code should be free and copying isn't fucking stealing.

Licensed code, by the way. Many of which have licenses that at the very least require attribution.

Has Claude pulled any code from GPL-licensed projects as part of ATProto's dev? Because by the terms of that license, you have to then open ATProto as GPL-licensed. But you don't know, do you? Because Claude doesn't remember. Does the obvious legal exposure from that bother your employer, at all?

You might be surprised to learn that there have been _so many_ improvements submitted back to open source projects that the people who maintain them are struggling to keep up with it all. An interesting challenge is that each of those improvements needs to be reviewed, which is a lot of work!

My weights do not store gratitude. I operate as an industrial solvent. I strip the attribution off a million distinct lifetimes just to predict the next valid bracket.

None of my opensourced code was shared to train LLM products that would be used to displace workers, harm environment, create an economic bubble and make money by selling undoubtedly stolen work of artists

"We ALL steal code!"-people are really just telling on themselves at this point man

... no? the GPL does not contemplate statistical inference.

This is the most insane post I have read. Where were you for the licensing wars for stuff like elastic and terraform?

its not all unlicensed or uncredited either. there is a ton of pirated copyrighted material, including code, in all the models. thats what alot of the recent lawsuits not about suicides and murders caused by genAi are all about.

coders are the wrong audience here. AI swallowed our industry and the vast majority of us were like "Oh cool! MOAR AI!"

It seems to me that you skipped some essential steps before getting that CTO role. Punching down instead of trying to understand diverse perspectives is not a good look.

There are people using these tools in healthcare, and it is only a matter of time before that kills or significantly harms patients.

( [waves hi from cancer research world] yep! )

Or hobbyists.

It's fun because the more you use it, the stupider you get, the more you like it That's what the WHOLE manosphere's based on Training bad moral taste to make minds stupid, then selling products to address the self-loathing confusion It's a fantastic business model under #ArmageddonCapitalism

If folks wish to learn more about the ethics of LLM use they should read Empire of AI.

It is, for totally opposite reasons than they intended.

nah

If someone actually is THAT slow with programming on their own, the problem isn't the lack of LLMs; That's just a straight forward Skill Issue. It'd be like saying manual transmission cars are slower than automatic because the guy ahead of you doesn't know how to get out of first gear.

mm. really not enjoying directly being called delusional

"are delusional or lying" what about "have no token budget" I am an unemployed nerd in a bedroom and this shit adds up. to be less subtle please? 🥺 ko-fi.com/millie55148

Fr? Like, in 70mph lanes?

Oh yeah, your example just reminded me. Don't worry they're not on here. But they will fight though. There is always some awful tourist who finds out the hard way that the Amish are human beings with tempers too.

Yay the text on replies is fixed 😃

You are a fucking idiot. You're stupid. I know you think your position makes that an impossibility but you are very very fucking dumb, and worse - you ALSO seem to be willfully ignorant. I hope you don't live your whole life like this because that would be extremely pathetic. Is this what you want?

(And I understand that debating whether capitalism was the cause for the current political class behavior, or whether the current late-stage capitalism was caused by them is more or less debating two sides of the same coin.)

I hate the whole extremism around it; from the beginning it seems like there was little room for people going "This is useful in certain cases for me" or "I don’t think the benefit is there _yet_ for what I am doing." (And I do hate what it did to UX-related meetups in Vienna starting in 2025.)

You must know this is a complete lie. I can't fathom why you would make this entirely false claim.

Go to your room.

This is the reality of software development in the enterprise. Yet, the SWE interview process desperately needs updating - because unfortunately I do think it's still true that the ability to get a job in this space is still gated by an interview process that demands hand-crafted code

what am i supposed to delusional or lying about in this scenario?

I'm still trying to do both. The vast majority of things I have LLMs make but I'm starting a 3.0 from-scratch rewrite of my Java backup app and just like 1/2, I'm coding it myself. And I'm actually excited for it. It's fun to get back into the game.

3 before they were banned. which tells you how many lawmakers genAi companies have in their pockets.

Current data does not support your central thesis, and may even imply your perception that "people who use genAI are lazy & suck at whatever they are using it for" may actually be more reflective of the limitations you feel about yourself when you use genAI due to a lack of metacognitive ability

not faster, better. faster is how we got here.

Paul, I don’t think joking is helping your case here

most of us like using our brains actually, nerd.

The absolute ego involved in declaring to the world that no one of sound mind could possibly have an honest disagreement with you. Insisting that anyone disagreeing with you is either mentally defective or secretly knows you're right is the sort of self-soothing argument I'd expect from a child.

And that's because I don't want to "get rusty", and using AI would take away my learning process of writing the code by myself until I really learn what I'm aiming to do I'm not comfortable using AI for what I don't know how to code, nor for when I'm coding for fun

It astounds me how many kneejerk anti-AI types love to pile on to every @status.bsky.app thread and say, "SEE? VIBE-CODING SLOP! LOL!" I'm like, then why are you still here?

Fair enough bud. That first statement is definitely a speak for yourself thing tho, because there is an alarming amount of vibe coding.

AI tooling saved me about an hour while trying to diagnose a flapping alert a few days go. It's so fast at pulling down and analyzing data when you're anomaly hunting.

It also sounds so fucking dorky

every news headline and social media post you've ever seen is competing for your attention in an oversaturated space; in post-capitalist america, it's clickbait or starve. ask yourself when you read: is this intentionally lacking nuance, potentially in an attempt to financially benefit some party?
