Can't escape AI slop projects from meat proxies man. Every single open source project smells like Claude Code recently. Sad times.

There is no in between.

For context I am a senior computer engineering student. I did some internships and talked with many people from big companies. And the thing I realized is I can't avoid AI anymore.

It's physically impossible. I resisted for years but every single fucking place is forcing it nowadays. Internships, jobs, any competitions and even my damn professors at uni.

I have yet to meet a single person in real life that does not use AI extensively. No one cares. No one thinks it might be wrong to fuck up so many things for so little (sometimes none) gain.

So I'm at a loss nowadays. I have zero motivation to do anything. I applied for masters but who can guarantee it will be any different? I will either have to use AI like any slop-coder out there or just starve. Even though I'm a hardware guy. I dont even want to think about software devs.

Fuck every single tech CEO. Fuck every single capitalist. So many people complained about the previous generation because of what they left us. But what are we doing now? Are we any better?

Sorry for unorganized and sloppy writing. Just had to dump this somewhere. Have a nice day everyone.

Hi everyone. I asked a question here before about my senior design project where I was planning on creating a RISC-V cpu.

I started the project and currently using iverilog, vpp and GTKWave (can also add yosys here but not for now) for development. And I plan on using Vivado for final implementation and IP's.

Is this a good way of doing things? Should I just use Vivado? I feel like my approach is easier and lets me focus on the logic.

Hi everyone. I'm a senior Computer Engineering student and my girlfriend is a senior Mechanical Engineering student.

She is caring, cute, clever and really thoughtful. I love everything about her. But the one thing that always bugs me out is the amount of AI she uses.

When we met 2 years ago the first topic we talked about was about AI and ever since that day I always mentioned her the advancements and dangers of AI. I said how there can't be ethical AI and any use of it is harmful.

She agrees with me every time and says she will decrease her usage but at the end she uses it still. Projects, reports, homeworks all go through the LLM. She shows me her work and I can't congratulate her without forcing myself because I know it's AI.

She has diagnosed ADHD and I think this might be one of the reasons but I still don't understand. She sometimes spends hours working. If she had spent that time with pen and paper she could've reached the same conclusions she did with AI but with more understanding of her work.

I don't want to upset her but also seeing someone this close to me do this is saddening to me. What should I do? Should I just ignore it?

Hi everyone. This is my first post on Lemmy. I'm a senior Computer Engineering student. And I'm working on my senior design project with my friends.

• BACKGROUND INFO

My friends have basically near 0 hardware knowledge but are willing to work. I have more experience with computer architecture and digital electronics but still I never made something as complex as this before.

The project is a comparison between hardware solutions to image processing. We will implement 3 types of hardware to process live (or pre recorded) video and output it to vga. Then compare their efficieny.

First one is a CPU core (will implement in system verilog which I have some experience with thank god). It will support RV32IM instructions and my friend will write an assembly program to control it.

Second one is an extension to the first CPU core.

Third one will be a specialized hardware for this purpose.

We have 2.5 months to complete half of the project and the other parts will be completed in next semester.

• ACTUAL QUESTION

So my plan is to create the CPU and measure its performance in these months and leave the other parts for next semester.

I'm planning on creating a 5 stage pipelined in order CPU. I also want to use wishbone since it's easier. But I have a problem.

First is the fact that videos take up a lot of space and we don't have enough RAM (Basys 3). We can buy an Arty S7 50 for it's DDR3 but the controller for it is AXI. I don't have time to learn AXI and I could not find any open source bridges that would work between that and WB B3.

One other option might be to send and process the video from an external camera or my laptop. But how can I make this work? USB is not nearly fast enough for 640x480 24fps.

Note: We won't use any AI in this project. So the time is more crucial.

Any tips? Should we buy a new board or will streaming work? Maybe we can use ethernet port? Idk.

Thanks.
