I quit. The clankers won

Ha I read it as the DBU Shell but I guess dbus hell is more natural.

One problem writing does have: we grew up in a massive changing and progressing software writing area. A golden area.

Now i still show clean code videos from bob and other old things to new hires and young collegues.

Java got more features, given but the golden area of discovery is over.

The new big thing is ai and i'm curious to see how it will feel to write real agents for my company specific use cases.

But i'm also seeing people so bad in their daily jobs, that I wish to get their salary as tokens to use. It will change and it changes our field.

Btw. "Is there anything, in the entire recorded history of human creation, that could have possibly mattered less than the flatulence Sora produced? NFTs had more value." i disagree, video generation has a massive impact on the industry for a lot of people. Don't down play this. NFTs btw. never had any impact besides moving money from a to b

What does a synthesized audio playback button have to do with AI as commonly and hotly discussed?

"Generative AI is art. It’s irredeemably shit art; end of conversation."

I think most people cannot destinguish between "genuine" creativity and an artificial almalgamation of training data and human provided context. For one, I do not know what already exsists. Some work created by AI may be an obvious rip off of the style of a particular artist, but I wouldnt know. To me it might look awesome and fresh.

I think many of the more human centric thinkers will be disappointed at how many people just wont care.

I'm pretty sure all this AI is built on top of Silicon valley's technobabble of "permanent underclass" which seems to have zero introspection as to why we're just going to accept the feudal overlords of technology.

But besides that, it's interesting so many people are willing to tailor their entire workflow and product to indeterminate machines and business culture.

I recommend everyone stop using these infernal cloud devices and start with a nice local model that doesn't instantly give you everything, but is quite capabable of removing a select amount of drudgery that is rather relaxing. And as soon as you get too lazy to do enough specifying or real coding, it fucks up your dev environment and you slap yuorself a hundred times wondering why you ever trusted someone else to properly build your artifaces.

There's definitely some philosophy being edged into our spaces that need to be combatted.
