Vibe coders are so insistence that the rest of us adopt their shitting tooling because they need other people coding slop too to justify their lack of effort. If programmers keep up good coding practices then the vibe coders are the ones le

Such a dystopian nightmare we live in now. The US is cutting our actual healthcare services to subsidize this shit so billionaires can become trillionares while the rest of us suffer

It you take of the rosy glasses, it is more like 10 hours saved per-month at an unsubsidized cost of $1000/month The $100/hr is worth it for US programming jobs, but nothing else

Measuring productivity by number of words written per day is as useless of a measure as number of lines of code written per day

So the rosy biased estimate is OpenAI is saving 1 hour of work per day, so 5 hours total per-work week and 20 hours total per-month. With a subsidized cost of $200/month for OpenAI it would be cheaper to hirer a part-time minimum wage

Software engineers used to know that measuring lines of code written was a poor metric for productivity... https://www.folklore.org/Negative_2000_Lines_Of_Code.html

Ug, this bill is all about preventing regulation of multinational corporations, it has nothing to do with the right for individuals to compute anything.

Spending $1500 per-month is a crazy wasteful amount of money

I'll choose the wheel over using a country's worth of electricity to parrot unusable AI slop to gullible fools.

Data center emissions probably 662% higher than big tech claims. Can it keep up the ruse?: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/sep/15/data-cent...

It is the lack of regulation that is the problem here. The power company is incentized to make higher profits year around by not preparing for a disaster.

All it takes is a simple tiny change to the user agreement and then OpenAI will start training on this user data and most people won't notice in time to switch their toggle off

We tried this cruel inhumane expensive policy for the decades called thew war on drugs and it was one of the worst failures in US history The US has spent more than a trillion on the War on Drugs, we should use a fraction of that on housing

Permanent Housing is the only solution. Shelters are at best temporary to survive a cold night, but they are not a solution for a sustainable life.

What are you talking about? Homeless shelters are full, wages are the lowest they have been in decades, and US health care is the most expensive in the world

Cars should have a regulator installed by the manufacturer to limit speed to 20mph on roads with people, and to 60mph on grade separated highways. This maximum would barely change your time to destination, but it would save thousands of liv

I ride public transit everyday. You are way safer on BART than you are in a car on the freeway. Your fear mongering is just not based in reality.

Software engineers are already too afraid to change existing systems, so I have found this to be a parable to solve a problem no one has.

The project was terminated because there were formidable technical issues, it wasn't economically profitable, and there was a real possibility of catastrophic failure that could not be mitigated. https://books.google.com&#x2
