Absolutely incredible :)

The problem is not doing it, the problem is feeding an AI generated text here.

When I pirate something, I have no clue what company or service it is from. How is it giving them a platform?

Nice, now even if I become disabled I still won’t be free of a job!

(I recognize that this may be an incredible achievement and quality of life improvement, but the way this news is phrased is absolutely ridiculous)

That is not the final outcome though. Read the next few mails, people suspect that this response of his was also just an LLM “defending” itself.

As far as I can see, the account is still suspended with no one knowing what exactly is going on.

Your issues with programming don’t really seem related to programming, more of personal ones. Like for example, if you “don’t have the time for debugging anymore”, why would you have the time to figure out why your clay pot you made came out crooked?

I personally look around what the landscape looks like now and 20 years ago when I started it, and honestly, I can’t see thaaat much different for programming by yourself. Most changes occured in the interaction part of it, not quite knowing if you’re speaking with a human or a LLM. But research and learning still works the same way, maybe a bit more noise, but that had to be filtered out before as well, there was already so much stupidity 20 years ago.

Why is it worth it to risk hallucinations when you can just get information from where the LLM gets its information from?

Instead of letting the large language model think for you, I would suggest to try critical thinking for yourself. I sincerely mean this in a kind way, because if you continue with this, you may become a drone like the ones we talk about here, and I wish that on nobody. I know this current path is easier/more convenient, but sometimes one has to choose the harder path to arrive at a better result.

That’s what happens when you don’t actually understand the change and just listen to whoever is posting it. The disingenuous thing about LLMs is that they present their hallucinations with full confidence in a charismatic way. No matter the source, that is how anyone can mislead other humans, we’re just so extremely susceptible to it.

That’s what they’re saying:

When deployed, the soldier is launched into a designated hunt-zone. He navigates purely via visual landmarks. His brain constantly screens the nerve data from his eyes. When an object matches its classification matrix (e.g., a specific mobile missile launcher), the organism locks onto the pixel coordinate, arms the ESAD, and executes a terminal dive completely dependent on human input.

Watch “The Hunt”, a Danish movie about a kindergarten teacher accused of raping a child. Obviously very hard to watch, be warned.

I feel with you, hope you can find better people. But yeah, I would agree with your 90% figure. They’re not like that on purpose, they’re just too unaware and don’t have enough knowledge/discipline to get rid of mental biases. The 10% is why I haven’t given up.

Katy, take your spork and get back into your own shower.

It entirely depends on what you want the user experience to be like, and what ecosystem you choose.

So, no idea, give exact specifications.

which would just about kill mj love for programming

How is the expectation of coding fast killing your love for programming, but stopping programming altogether and letting an AI do it is not?

It’s interesting that so many people are able to do this. For me, I’d just rather lose my job than do something I fundamentally disagree with. If I didn’t, I would just be so extremely unhappy that I couldn’t function anyway.

Not bashing you, just pondering the differences.

Well, this is in the context of people choosing to accept donations as an open-source developer. Taking donations requires opt-in, I would assume someone like you just wouldn’t take them in the first place.

However, I’m sorry that they make you uncomfortable or even guilty, because that sounds to me like you think you don’t deserve them. Which to me, is sad, because the other person making the donation definitely thinks you deserved it.

“most” is the keyword here.

But they don’t produce output

I would argue that this is not even close to true.

As an open source developer myself, my contribution to open source is pretty much exactly proportional to how well I’m feeling. Getting a donation makes me feel appreciated, using the money makes me feel better, all leading to me being more motivated to spend time on some open-source.

Obviously, being able to only work on open-source would generate more output, but the psychological impact of feeling appreciated to output can’t be dismissed and is huge.

Why are you going broke though? Why can the solution not be “do not let yourself go broke”?
