I’ll quote myself from some time ago:

The entire article is based on the flawed premise, that “AI” would improve the performance of developers. From my daily observation the only people increasing their throughput with “AI” are inexperienced and/or bad developers. So, create terrible code faster with “AI”. Suggestions by copilot are >95% garbage (even for trivial stuff) just slowing me down in writing proper code (obviously I disabled it precisely for that reason). And I spend more time on PRs to filter out the “AI” garbage inserted by juniors and idiots. “AI” is killing the productivity of the best developers even if they don’t use it themselves, decreases code quality leading to more bugs (more time wasted) and reducing maintainability (more time wasted). At this point I assume ignorance and incompetence of everybody talking about benefits of “AI” for software development. Oh, you have 15 years of experience in the field and “AI” has improved your workflow? You sucked at what you’ve been doing for 15 years and “AI” increases the damage you are doing which later has to be fixed by people who are more competent.

Same as antibiotics.

Hot damn (I’m so [so] “guilty” of this); seriously – it’s no even (or odd) funny!

If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us.

After reading your comment I was wondering why 24 years after the thing and not 20 or 25. “Round” numbers intuitively make more sense to me to create a connection to a previous event. Then it occurred to me, that the second and fourth letters of the alphabet are B and D, as in Dick Butler. Though I doubt Richard would have gone with that nickname. Then again, maybe him being constantly teased/bullied as the dick butler explains him going down a road of hate ;-)

Watching that movie was a drug-infested nightmare. The drugs were my fault, the nightmares were on the movie. The fire extinguisher scene went on for what felt an eternity. Showing the head for punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch after punch until it was a pulpy mess not recognizable as a head with blood seeping out of it. Actually, I think the right-hand side of the meme is a pretty apt categorization for that movie, except, maybe, the unenjoyable part. Enjoyability just depends on your own perversions and morbidity. And the title of the movie is a lie. I reversed the fire extinguisher scene: it becomes a love story of a kind and dedicated fire extinguisher reconstructing a dead man’s head. I sometimes masturbate to that.

Tell me you haven’t seen the uncut version of Irreversible without telling me you haven’t seen the uncut version of Irreversible. That’s like, peak entertainment. Thank me for the trauma later.

Not necessarily evil. But every religious person is damaging to society and the environment out of ignorance, because, for example, their voting is based on beliefs disjunct from reality, including absolute morals that will vilify a substantial part of the populace for no sane reason.

Yah, we’re on the interweb. For all I know he could be Drath’nor.

What piece are you talking about? Statement makes sense either way.

I’m going to pistol whip the next guy who says sheernanigans!

To be fair, intelligence isn’t found in anything marketed as “AI”. This one being a scam using humans, actually featured intelligence.

I like to style visited links blue and unvisited links purple, just to mess with people.

Then again, there’s not much point to super long passwords. They’ll be turned into hashes, commonly of 128, 196, or 256 bits length. When brute forcing, by a certain length, it’s pretty much guaranteed there’s a shorter combination computing to the same hash. And an attacker doesn’t need your password, just some password that computes to the same hash. With 256 bit hashes a password with 1000 characters isn’t more secure than one with 15 in any meaningful way.

Don’t be unkind to potatoes.

I wonder … does a Kash Patel ever stop and wonder whether the downward spiral into racist fascism he’s enabling will eat him or “his kin”. Does he ever look at his senior yearbook quote “Racism is man’s gravest threat—the maximum of hatred for a minimum reason” (by Abraham Joshua Heschel), take a look around and think: what the fuck am I doing here?

I wonder …

Mmh, diffuse dither … give me some Bayer dither!
