Decided, got Jamaican food, hell yeah.

Again, this shit is lobotomizing *experienced* senior programmers. Just imagine what it is doing to the junior programmers who are supposed to one day take their place.

Why, only a few years ago, would have been able to spot, via experience, bugs.

After only a short few years of gleeful deskilling, this is no longer possible. Bugs and architectural awkwardness that would have been instantly noticed, and quickly fixed, are not.

"Whee! I am deskilling myself and making myself obsolete" and then breaking vital shit in a way *they are no longer able to think about* because of that gleeful deskilling.

Imagine what this shit is doing to new, inexperienced programmers, the people who are meant to become experienced programmers.

Why is an *experienced* programmer, the exact demographic that LLM advocates say is best equipped to use LLM's productively since their experience lets them verify the output makes sense.

And this demographic is going "whee I am actively deskilling myself!" and letting the dogshit break vital shit.

Best part? It's always somebody with years of experience. Exactly the demographic that is supposedly able to use this shit safely, but my impression is they're just as bad as the novices.

To elaborate:
These "smart feature" add an extra point of failure and obsolescense to everything.
What will you do in 5, or 10 years when the manufacturer no longer supports the App?
Rip out your lights and buy New.
In case of washing machines, the vibrations regularly break the computer Chips.

WHY DO ALL THESE HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE BLOODY INTERNET? Our landlady installed light switches that don't work properly unless you use them in conjunction with an app. I don't want a fucking app for light switches. I just want to switch a light on and off, using a switch.

11 people are responsible for more than half of all the book bans over trans panic stuff.

I said "small" in that post because the population of apathetic cis people vastly, vastly outweighs the population of rabid transphobes.

They do not care if you have a terrible experience. They do not care if nothing works beyond doing just enough to keep you making content. No one will check them, no one has checked them

The point of this is to show you contempt and them profits

If this was real you would’ve gotten fired before it hit like 80%, you fucking clown.

A machine is not writing 99% of your code and I can prove a machine isn’t writing 99% of your code because you’re still employed.

I can think of nothing worse than openly saying "I am actively de-skilling myself"

Or maybe it's just because I've spent most of my life being told I'm not valuable because I didn't just have the skills they're now actively shrugging off?

Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

It's a mistake to think that dem leadership and their highly paid consultants *can't get this*. The purpose of a machine is what it does.

They are doing this deliberately, a relentless rightward shift of the overton window toward open genocide helps their fundraising.

The actual, small, demographic of rabidly transphobic people is not gonna be swayed by a promise of "we want to do the same thing as the other party, but in a more civilized way"

They're gonna go with the party spending a third of its campaign explicitly promising genocide.

Trump spent a *third* of his 2024 campaign budget on rabid transphobia.

Democrat leadership and their expensive consultants keep relentlessly trying to push trans people into the woodchipper, when the people who want to do that already have a party even louder about doing it.

They're like "no no no, we need electable candidates, like the guy who keeps going on podcasts with nazis and agreeing with them that trans people aren't human."

And then getting fucking shocked when this turns out to not be a winning strategy once again. Still paid the big donation bucks though

It's amazing that despite all the proof that virulent transphobia loses elections, these assholes will continue to push for the biggest nazi they can find.

They're like "electable candidates, like the guy who covered up a nazi tattoo after 18 years with a new nazi tat, then went on a nazi podcast"

Dem leadership and consultants keep desperately trying to throw trans people into the woodchipper and getting shocked that this strategy loses elections.

Each time they have an opportunity to *not* be genocidal pieces of shit, they instead double down harder on being Vichy scum. And lose even more

ChatGPT uninstalls surged by 295% after DoD deal | TechCrunch Many consumers ditched ChatGPT's app after news of its DoD deal went live, while Claude's downloads grew.

Yeah that's the shit

The really funny thing is the LLM industry wants to use the same technology that automates exploit finding to replace huge swathes of expert human workers with automation vulnerable to exploits. We're about to be living in a world of zero days for teachers and doctors.

Pretty much the same in Canada, if you're lucky they'll call the crispy version Cantonese style chow mein.

Easiest way to tell which it is is if they also sell Lo Mein, which isn't a term on the west coast.

I don't like that style because usually it's pretty much all stewed onion, with a token amount of other vegetables, with no textual variation *other* than the crunchy noodles, and almost no spices. Very midwestern-coded, to me.

In 1946, an Italian-American guy translated an Italian recipe into a version of chow mein and mass-produced it, further muddying the idea as this canned chow mein spread through the country.

Basically, the further you got from a high population of Chinese immigrants, the more and more different the dish got from its original meaning, to the point of being in some cases almost the exact opposite of what it originally appeared as.

And *then*, in the US chow mein has come to mean two very different things, based on what the Chinese immigrant population density was:

In the west coast, it means soft stir-fried noodles (close to original chow mein), on the east coast it means crunchy deep fried noodles.

Lo mein - Wikipedia

It's interesting how lo mein changed meanings drastically when it was transported to the US

Chinese lo mein: not stir-fried

Chinese-American lo mein: stir-fried, with sauce and stuff mixed in, which in China is chow mein.

Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.
