It’s not that far from the truth, it’s just the thing they pick is what they saw on Fox News that morning.

Nope, he’s based as fuck. And I don’t even like Zig that much.

Sweet justice.

Am 35, just started getting into birdwatching. Weird how true this is.

Yeah, but you put the pickles on after. Cooking with pickles is super gross.

The difference is that there were services that could leverage the Internet and be profitable. Every AI company is wildly unprofitable and burning unfathomable amounts of money. There’s no path for them to become profitable, unlike some companies in the dotcom era.

Red flag right there. Devs can and should be able to make tickets.

It doesn’t need nearly as many. AI inference is orders of magnitude more expensive than a single search query (ignoring the fact that Google does it’s own inference with search queries now). And that doesn’t even include training, which is stupidly expensive to do.

I’m a senior engineer of 10+ years. I do not, nor will I ever, use AI to write code. Fuck that shit. It makes everything worse in countless ways. So much garbage I have to deal with at work now because of it, and it absolutely has made no difference in velocity. I take that back actually, it’s slowed things down because now there’s a lot more “what the fuck is this shit” reviews I have to do now, which just slows everything down. Like just the other day where someone on my team submitted a MR where the AI wrote a pre-commit hook that ran a script to parse the source code of our entire monorepo to scan for occurrences of a few functions to make sure they weren’t used.

I have to deal with so many “ideas” now that no sane person would ever come up with, because they are fucking stupid.

Oh, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to tell people to remove absolutely useless tests from MRs. It’s almost a joke at this point.

The good news it’s already starting to get way too expensive to keep on like this and management is finally starting to feel the pain, so I doubt it really has much legs left. It always comes down to money, in the end, and this shit isn’t cheap and will only continue to skyrocket in price as the wildly unprofitable AI companies run out of money and need to start showing profitability.

Except unlike smartphones that are so ubiquitous and essential for life today, using chatbots is entirely elective and unnecessary.

Meat is an important source of essential nutrition and eschewing it is a luxury to many people in the world. Online shopping, in this day and age, is very frequently the only way to acquire certain goods we need. It is practically impossible to stay informed as to the state of the world without reading news from corporate sources.

There is nothing essential or unavoidable about ChatGPT. On the contrary, they and their audience would be much better served by not using it.

That’s not lying. There’s nothing linguistic about numerical computation.

As someone that grew up in a Christian household and wasn’t allowed to listen to non-Christian music, I listened to a LOT of Skillet as a teenager. It was one of the few bands I could listen to that I actually liked. I also liked DC Talk as a kid.

That’s… Not normal. At all.

It has the return type declared to be double.
