Except the adverse outcomes are entirely predictable. Not the exact nature of particular exploits, but I like the analogy Cal Newport keeps using in his videos: if you strap a weed whacker to a dog, you shouldn't be surprised if it t

Plenty of people on that list maintain serious production systems or open source projects in use by a wide variety of people. It's not just some nerds tinkering in their basement.

No non-AI coding anymore? I think not. https://handcraftedcode.org

AI;DR I keep feeling "surprised" that people who seemingly would know better post stuff that obviously sounds like an LLM. But then I remember, you and I aren't the audience. The audience is investors. And investors seem to

Careful, you'll be accused of being an elitist gatekeeper or some sort of nonsense. But yeah, you're completely right.

Huzzah! This is excellent news. Safe spaces and healthy communities are borne from enforcing strict moderation to keep the bad actors out. This is an important step forward for the platform.

Fantastic! Codeberg just keeps getting better and better, properly moderating a healthy community which does not welcome the technolibertarian dystopia we've all been suffering through for far too many years now. I'm not surprised

It's about data centers AND it's about AI.

Nice try with the gaslighting. Google's AI "summaries" get things wrong all the time even now.

Only people actually do care about the process by which the products they use were created. It's our job, as experts who build things, to educate our audiences why and how we build what we build. Meaningful percentages of people alre

This is starting to veer into "smoking bans in the restaurants is discrimination against smokers." It's not discrimination to ban a practice which has been proven to be harmful. AI slop is harmful to readers, as well as being

I'm of the deepest conviction AI-generated text should not show up at all. Proving that however can be difficult (obvious LLM tells aside). Requiring evidence of authentic human authorship is also difficult, though increasingly I lean

Whatever the answers are to help gaming become more affordable/keep beloved indie studios humming, generative AI is not it at all.

Since you know very little about Jarred, why are you not investigating all of the issues raised about how Jarred has run that project from the get-go? It's not childish in the least for someone who does know the background to point o

Write code like an agent will never touch it, that's my motto. (Because it's true.)

I disagree with your assertion that "most people don't care if the movie was…fully AI generated with human text prompting". And more than disagree, I believe conclusive proof is out there that people absolutely do care.

It's a real issue, and it feels like a bad faith claim that people are "jumping" on the issue as a distraction. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can call out wealth inequality and oligarchy, and also talk about t

I can't eat data centers. Almond milk, OTOH, is a great non-dairy substitute for my cereal.

The golf courses in my town provide infinitely more value to me than anything from Google. And I don't even golf.

You can't tell the critics they're completely wrong and not actually address anything they're saying, lol.

Ed Zitron already completely defeated the comparison that this is just another dot com boom/bust with eventual payout. You're telling yourself a just-so story.

I cannot even describe in words how much I don't care about this. I'm actually looking the angles of why this is a very good thing, being that I'm a pro-craft activist who is completely opposed to the dangerous proliferation

We were literally told that because of the Computer/Internet revolution, the entire nature of business was changing… politics too! Companies would become collectives, employees would have immense power to set their own goals and be

Every few years, I hear something like this. And every time, I wonder who is going to believe them, because almost without exception when I purchase organic produce it tastes noticeably better. Perhaps one could argue "well, that'

Cool, can you reply to the person's original reply to me in which they made fun of the point I was making—how "disgusting" it is that Apple…allows photo editors in the App Store? After all, don't be snarky!

I've been saying this for forever. Not only isn't it, broadly speaking, true that "users don't care if/how/why…" with regard to how products & services are made, but furthermore: it's our job as
