The "purpose" for AI (the reason it is being FORCED on us) is that it allows "wealth" to access "skill" while at the same time keeping skilled people away from wealth.

NOW what billionaire would not want that?

What poor person would want that?

See the problem yet?

Ok then why did you give money to your friend DHH for Omarchy? it's literally a slop vibe coded "distro".

Because of the complete vibe coding of Omarchy it takes longer the configure it than any other distro with a WM. I mean hell the AI cut the Hyperland config up into 6 damn LUA files AND THEN you have to unbind everything and rebind it as opposed to ONE file that you can literally just swap out binds. And yet you gave the guy a couple million for it.

So I'm so sorry Tobias but you did this to yourself. you were one of the first to embrace AI completely and use it completely wrong and now you're whining about it and you continue to fund it. you can't have it both ways bud.

Wasn't Shopify one of the first companies to go all in on an AI infrastructure? I seemed to recall reading that about a year or two ago.

Along similar lines, I’ve started calling it “copyslop” when someone dumps ai garbage into my comms.

Has anyone noticed that when a teammate uses AI, their teammates also have to as well? Honestly it might be because they don’t want to bother reading the machine’s code when the original author didn’t put much thought into it. Another might be the mental fatigue from reading code that grows faster than you can parse.

He raises exactly that point in the interview when talking about slop grenades.

Not a fan of the guy but I'm stealing "slop grenade."

[–] rain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyz 8 points 16 hours ago

dw he stole much more

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

I'm not a fan of a lot of his politics but I honestly thought that interview was worth listening to. He has some interesting nuanced takes.

Great, can we now abort this asinine "AI" bullshit and go back to normal GPU prices?

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

No, we're going to continue on this path until we have to suck the liquids out of your body to cool the data center

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

This is happening everywhere. My job is about 2 months behind schedule at the moment and theyre still pushing for AI solutions

I prefer the term "Meat Proxy", but I get that it's more of an ad hominem. I use both terms.
