An AI supporter would link The Verge instead of the source itself. 😒

I was posting from mobile, so I linked the page that’s readable on mobile, unlike the source ;)

But yeah, no, sure, keep seething

we will leave you no choice

who’s “we”? I don’t happen to write any OSes myself, but yeah, tribalism is a powerful thing.

it doesn’t matter what debian declared, the kernel is what matters. but also no, they didn’t https://www.theverge.com/tech/986789/linux-debian-generative-ai-policy

Expensive and not quite mature

yeah, that was mostly my impression of what exists on the market too

good luck

Windows clearly does. Linux kernel does. MacOS has built-in AI features and XCode has support for AI agents, so one would assume they also use it in development. Do you have some other 3 major OSes I don’t know about? Are you on FreeBSD? Cause uhhh https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/freebsd-ai-assisted-vulnerability-discovery-project-launch/

just curious, are you planning to stop using technology altogether, once there’s nowhere else to migrate to?

I mean, I assume you have thrown away your PC already, since all 3 major OSes use AI in their development

I would love to have properly working glasses with subtitles+translation and maps/navigation built-in.

I couldn’t care less about video recording, that shit’s creepy.

good to see smart developers posting reasonable takes, though sad they have to spend time doing it

You are aware that this is exactly why the rules require [AIP] in the title and AI declaration in the body?

I use it for coding, for translation and for some irl chore / bureaucracy. It’s very useful to me, though not without flaws and dealing with some of its stupidity. I am now finally in a position where if I can’t find a good existing program that solves my problem - I can whip up exactly what I want in a week (as opposed to a 6 month endeavour)

I don’t use image/video/audio generation

I very much appreciate the keyboard and the 4" size

But how many “no X, no Y, no Z” statements do you really need on your kickstarter page, holy mother of slop marketing, batman

I disable comments on my reviews because the comments are usually low effort shitposts

so where’s… the link? the website just mirrors the post here. where does the project live? if you are working on it already then where’s that first sketch that was built openly?

I think the question of speed is entirely tangential to what’s being discussed here, to the point of being inconsequential. We were discussing whether AI makes everyone’s life worse. My point is that I can do stuff now that I could not before, and that makes my life better. It’s a very useful tool for me. It also doesn’t matter to me whether it makes me faster or slower at stuff I already could do before (but if it makes the experience more pleasant - sure, why not).

It’s fine (though a bit unhealthy) if lemmings want to bury their head in the sand, pat each other on the back and try to convince each other that nobody can ever possibly find the evil machine useful, and those who claim they do are just lying idiot AI-bros, but if even my non-technical parents use it - you’ve already lost the war, sorry.

Hello youtubes!

I recently re-watched a few episodes of Lord of the Arena and Shoutcraft. Good stuff :'^(

A lot of bold “I am smart you are stupid arararara” statements rooted in pure anger and angst rather than trying to have a conversation. Though I never expected less from lemmings, I knew where I was posting ;^)

I don’t need to prove the validity of my experience to you or convince you of anything, but I’m happy to talk. If you are going to immediately resort to personal attacks then your ““arguments”” are not worth replying to, I’m not about to have a shout match with you, I’d rather go do something more interesting. Tho feel free to continue shouting into the void if it makes it easier for you, I guess?

Could be

Ehhh no? The original post is generic and mentions “managers” and the comment I am replying to is also a generic blanket statement

If that study is the only thing you have as an argument you won’t get very far (though it is worth it to read the thoughts of some of the participants: https://domenic.me/metr-ai-productivity/).

It is very helpful to me as a developer: I can now write entire custom tools, one-off scripts and services for myself I otherwise wouldn’t (because it would take too much time and too much effort), it catches a lot of logic bugs in code reviews as a first pass, it’s good at generating unit-tests, etc, etc.

But coding is not all there is. To me as an immigrant, AI-based translation is a godsend. Same for writing scary-looking letters to government officials or applications for apartment viewings. Same for learning a language, actually. When I was looking for a new job - I used ChatGPT’s automation to filter out crappy job postings and parse feedback on Glassdoor for the interesting ones. Like, genuinely, if we imagine for a moment that there’s zero moral and environmental issues with AI and you still can’t think of any possible applications of it for yourself you’re either just not doing anything or you’re dead.
