According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

Nah, wouldn't do that. CSS needs to be well designed to function properly, you need actual developers for that or you'll screw over your users.

But yeah, to give quick pointers and ideas to flesh out, it's reasonably useful

If that is enough to warrant it's extreme energy use, the spread of AI slop everywhere, the pollution, the uncontrolled datacenter expansions, the explosion in hardware costs it created, the countless death and suffering it caused through AI psychosis, the AI childporn bots (hello grok, are you still the world's biggest child porn producer or did Elmo finally reign you in to again be mecha Hitler?), the....

Long story short, AI will likely end this world in a long list of fucked up ways, I don't think it's worth it

Until then, I'll use it as a suggestion tool, not much more

Bro, what the hell. Lmao. “Hey AI is horrible in all ways and is doing harm to the planet and people and kids, but I’ll use it regardless. Hear me I’m a good guy. I hate AI, but I’ll use it”. That’s virtu signaling, isn’t it?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not virtue signalling, I know very well what I'm doing is hypocritical at best, but it's also unavoidable for me. For one, I'm using it like this at work where they'd love nothing better than for me to start vibe coding. This is the compromise I've been able to make so far.

No judgement. I just thought it was funny.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Well yeah

I'm not proud of it, in any case :)
