Yeah. I’ve seen some players’ ideas. Players are, on average, idiots.
I’m reminded of when players want to add critical miss effects to DND. “I added critical misses to my DND game! On a natural one really bad things happen! Like you drop your sword!” -> “But fighters make way more attacks, right?” -> “yeah” -> “so they’re going to critically miss a lot more” -> “…yeah” -> “so a fighter making four attacks a round has a 18% chance of dropping their sword every round” -> “…what?”
Mayor Greg Bozzo said other big industrial projects have been approved in the same manner over the years, but didn’t cause any uproar.
“It didn’t bother them that a food-distribution center came to Gilroy without their engagement, but now it bothers them that a data center is coming to Gilroy without them having the possibility of engagement,” Bozzo said.
Nomitive determinism: he is a real fucking bozo. All these fucks need to be gone.
Again, we’re circling the question “why learn anything?” I seen to have as an assumption that it’s worth it for its own sake more often than you do.
Yes. I’ve been saying for years that electric cars and self driving cars are solving the wrong problem. The problem is if I need a car to get groceries. The problem is I’m not safe on the street because of all the cars.
People who have never lived someplace that doesn’t need a car are very eager to tell you how it won’t work, though.
Happily using Linux at home. Played some elden ring today, and the original fallout last week. Did some writing in libre office. It’s fine. And free. I never have to tinker with it.
Why then would I have done this manually in a week when the AI did it better in an hour and $5?
Some reasons may include
Some of this comes down to “why bother learning anything?”
I don’t know what your dashboard does. I made a simple display at an old job that showed some stats about new user signups. It took like an hour or two, and I’d never used the particular front end library before.
Edit: lines of code is a poor metric* but even so 20k seems like a lot
*For example, the difference between
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
and
const add = (a,b) => a + b
How much web development experience do you personally have? Like, from before AI tooling?
Once your website is more complicated than a static marketing site, I don’t think AI is going to do it better. Some of the problems, like slopsquatting might be around for a long time. Possibly forever.
And the code itself is incapable of causing issues, it’s just markdown/css.
…what?
However even for high-quality code, if you look at benchmarks the top models produce higher quality code than the majority of devs.
Doing the wrong thing faster is not an improvement.
At least AI has the decency to include comments.
From what I’ve seen of AI comments, it’s not really helpful. It’s illusionionary confidence.
As for losing understanding of our code, I agree but I suppose it’s the price to pay for productivity.
That’s very expensive technical debt, or a massive de-skilling of labor.
Do you own a business? If you don’t, why would you dig your own grave here?
If your AI use is counter productive, then it’s probably either because the scenario doesn’t benefit from AI or because you’re using it wrong.
It’s harder to review code than to write it. Humans are kind of of lazy, and when we see code that looks generally correct we skim. We lose focus.
So if someone uses AI to generate a lot of code, it’s hard to review. If we just trust it, we lose knowledge of how our system works. If we spend the time reviewing it, that’s harder than just doing it ourselves. This is true at any scale, but the more you use it the worse it gets.
Maybe you consider using AI for code generation “using it wrong”. If so, please tell it to management at my job who are frothing at the mouth over the idea.
If you disagree that humans don’t notice problems, did you see the mistake I added in this post? Maybe you did! But most people wouldn’t.
Even if that wasn’t a problem, de-skilling is definitely a problem long term. If the AI did produce flawless code, after a few months of using it you’d start losing the ability to code yourself. Counter productive. Unless you’re management, and don’t care about your laborers.
Vaguely insulting to factory workers, first.
Second, much of the AI use is counter productive. Some of it is metrics chasing.
Many people are terrified of being uncomfortable and confrontation
What an incredibly idiotic thing to do! Both of them thought it was okay to trust the lie machine with their lives! Darwin award candidates.
I find the people who are worst at thinking use AI the most.
You don’t need to bring car usage to zero. It’s a win to bring it down.
Maybe let local people decide what’s right for them instead of making blanket proclamations for everyone and every place?
Local, non-expert, people are famously wrong. You’d have everything paved over for more parking if you listened to them.
I don’t know what it does on Lemmy but I’m clicking the gold star on this reply
Conservatives are such a heady mix of stupid and dishonest.
I don’t see who would buy it and it goes well for customers.
These megacorps shouldn’t be allowed to get so big in the first place!
Without jeopardizing your academics, prioritize rare things.
TV and video games will always be there. Your friend asking you to come play tennis won’t. Go play tennis even if you don’t think you’ll love it.
Not easily and safely. You could try to talk to them, but most people are kind of brittle and will get defensive if you so much as suggest they are not saints.
Recognize that behavior in yourself, and try to be better. We’re all vulnerable to getting defensive when we’re wrong.
I’d love this in the US, but we’re ruled by the wealthy assholes here. They have personal assistants to screen their calls.
I’m still very happy with Linux. Microsoft can fuck off.
