Pre AI and Post AI code review hours are both 0.75 in this made up example. I find that implausible. Even with the same amount of code, AI code is less trustworthy* and requires mo…

Once upon a time, optimism was plausible. But now it seems the only likely outcomes of such technology are: > rich people hoarding wealth > high (and unpleasant) unemployment > ICE…

It already is our families. We don't have healthcare. We live in rentals that enrich others. We take rented scooters to work. We have no retirement funds or futures. Live in slaver…

The entire point of AI is for it to do shit autonomously? The whole point is that the users can have it doing shit for them instead of them having to babysit the computer. The fact…
