Why don't we have the AI output machine code binaries. Surely that's even better!
To be clear, I think this is ridiculous and I'll still use Ruby/Rails for web apps because it's tested, it works and I can read it without relying on a paid black box translator.
Once/if the paid black box becomes so good we no longer care, then it'd be stupid to force it to use an inefficient language just for the sake of it.
People lose their jobs, the environment is destroyed, our bills skyrocket and all of the gains go to the people who own all the shit...
I honestly cannot believe some people still believe that we'll ever get to a society where nobody has to work and we can live our lives happily ever after. Maybe too many Disney stories?
IDK, you own a business and do this sort of stuff and all sorts of red flags go off for me.
If they can barely do that, then I'm sure they're slacking off on more stuff too.
If it was useless, they wouldn't bother.
It's probably not as useful as if you also have the prompts, but even assuming they really don't train on the prompts (which we can never verify), you can probably get to the prompts based on the monologue. Some agents essentially repeat the prompt in the monologue.
"The user asked me to build X using Y..."
Would it be great if we could make all digital purchases better? Hell yes. Is it realistic? No.
If we can make one company/segment pay or set legal precedent that this is not okay, we're at least moving in the right direction.
I would be absolutely terrified if people with guns came up to me, whether they're cops or not, and if I had a gun with me, I'd be much more likely to go for it in that scenario compared to a normal human interaction. But IDK, maybe I'm an outlier?
A guy got shot after being swatted not so long ago and that would be a data point with no injuries for officers, masking the real victims.
Docker is always a pain to use and this way I don't have to re-install everything a billion times for every different project.
In the real world, oligopolies are the rule not the exception.
I literally almost had a heart attack today.
You simply can't base64 large payloads and you're stuck with workarounds.
So you believe it's expected that a president will de-fund everything that supports their opposing party? I'm sure that's a totally great idea that won't cause any issues whatsoever.
American politics are so absurd.
Do they even care if I'm not from their countries of origin?
This always felt like theater to me. They say "we deleted it, trust me bro" and we're supposed to believe it?
Surely people can check the traffic and build a server to answer similarly, no? Or is this much more than job management?
Maybe this is impossible and I'm talking out of my ass, but for me it seems like a perfect opportunity to completely remove the problematic party from the equation.
You talk to it, it consumes "usage" and no design system created.
Had a similar experience with their online code sessions.
All this slop generated code is so freaking bad. We'll get drowned in so much slop code that at some point only these garbage machines will be able to "work" with it.
We'll pay the subscription and be done with it. Those who can't will suffer.
We live too comfortably and independently to risk it all for the thousands of paper-cuts eroding our lives. The capitalists learned from history: isolate us and change into the dystopia little by little and there will never be enough resistance.
GP's right in pointing that out even if it hurts to read it.
They'll kill people regardless, so might as well get paid for it!
Guess capitalism leads to enshittification no matter what.
Take an industry with healthy competition like restaurants. You can compete in price, quality, format, service and probably a lot more.
Now tell me how that competition enshittified eating at restaurants?
For me, nothing stands out. If a restaurant charges nonsense fees, under-staffs to increase profits, reduce portions with the same value, etc. I can simply go to another one. Restaurants that enshittify will almost inevitably close.
But if we look at a closely related industry like the food delivery apps, we see the same exact signs of enshittification we see on the tech world due to monopolies (or oligopolies to be more exact) like: - Increased/hidden fees
- Increased delivery times
- Crappy apps with ads everywhere
- Ineffective review systems
- Pay-to-win search
- Dynamic pricing
They can get away with it because realistically, you don't have any other options. The cost to entry might not be that high but the network effect all but prohibits competition.
React is the symptom here, not the cause.
This is capitalism's biggest flaw: it's based on the assumption that there will be competition, but competition eventually leads to winners that then consolidate their positions and we end up with no real choices.
You're telling me people would pick a worse OS because they don't care even if they had real options? I don't believe that for a second.
It's baked into the system...
Until they change that fundamental piece, they are literally that: programs that use math to determine the most likely next token.
You are going to tell me that the vibe coders care and read the code they merge with the same attention to detail and care that Linus has? Come on...
That's the key for me. People are churning out "full features" or even apps claiming they are dealing with a new abstraction level, but they don't give a fuck about the quality of that shit. They don't care if it breaks in 3 weeks/months/years or if that code's even needed or not.
Someone will surely come say "I read all the code I generate" and then I'll say either you're not getting these BS productivity boost people claim or you're lying.
I've seen people pushing out 40k lines of code in a single PR and have the audacity to tell me they've reviewed the code. It's preposterous. People skim over it and YOLO merge.
Or if you do review everything, then it's not gonna be much faster than writing it yourself unless it's extremely simple CRUD stuff that's been done a billion times over. If you're only using AI for these tasks maybe you're a bit more efficient, but nothing close to the claims I keep reading.
I wish people cared about what code they wrote/merged like Linus does, because we'd have a hell of a lot less issues.
They simply don't want to compete, they want to force the majority of people that can't spend a lot on tokens to use their inferior product.
Why build a better product if you control the cost?
