I used to pay Google for things back when they were pretty awesome. Haven’t paid them a dime for years now.

I’ve been messing around with vibe-painting, myself. Damn it feels good to be an artist.

I’m trying to think of something more fucked up, but I’m struggling, here.

This guy’s argument is that he’s a 10xer because he’s using AI effectively, i.e. just proofreading its output and deleting the comments. (Also, why hire juniors when you can get the same work for $20/mo?)

I think this is a losing strategy unless all senior devs never retire and are immortal. (Or unless GAI happens in which case the world economy will collapse and who cares about strategy.)

It looks like what’s happening is that way fewer companies are willing to invest in juniors now, leading to falling enrollment in university, leading to a shortage of seniors, leading to very high dev pay, leading to increased enrollment. Eventually.

Or a process to challenge them?

“I see you have extensive database experience. Can you elaborate on the white genocide?”

I think you’re right that this leads to increased efficiency. But in the case of the United States, we’re relying on a bit of inefficiency here to maintain freedom. I would suggest that there’s no difference between a dictatorship and an all-seeing government. Restricting the government is important in a free country, and making data on citizens difficult access is one of those restrictions we’ve been using.

I think it’s mostly because they’re told to.

A grand says that layoff letter was written by AI.

Some internet rando had a hypothesis that certain types of people actually view their own hypocrisy as a strength rather than a failing. It shows how much more powerful they are than others; others have to obey rules that they don’t. Hypocrisy is only viewed as a failing in other people.

But could I pay for model collapse? I’d be down for that.

This is how you know “pro-states rights” conservatives are lying to you.
