I now see why Tim was so adamant about removing the AI badge on steam. steam should really block slop and let epic take that bullshit, it would be a service to humanity

    Will the companies cater to the many demands to get them back though? I was going to say especially more money, but actually a sincere apology and promise is the last thing a company would give.

    the best they can do is a pay cut. this whole thing is about lowering wages on skilled labor by trying to pretend that they can replace that skill, the skill they stole in the first place. we need a general strike.

    take a few steps back.

    "what if they're right?"

    are these the same people that are making the world a worse place, supporting it or selling a solution?

    when you take a step back a lot of those interests align. a small group of extremely wealthy people are trying to create the narrative of hopelessness, despair, fear, violence and putting the blame on anything but themselves.

    almost all of modern media is meant to break the spirit and force you to comply. who owns those sources?

    algorithmic content is meant to increase engagement. they do not care about anyone's mental health anymore as that's the last thing that stands in the way of wealth extraction and forcing civil compliance.

    wow if 5 cops came running towards me with guns drawn i would think I'm in the line of something serious like an active shooter. i wouldn't think oh this must be a dispute over $30

    i disagree with this take, when i type code out i start to see flaws in my own logic and am able to adapt it because i can start to see the bigger picture as it comes together. also when i start to see code smells i can decide to change my approach and refactor it to fit the problem better.

    AI just gives you what you ask sometimes. sure it does it quickly but it doesn't care about those logic bugs while introducing more through misunderstanding of intent. good luck finding it in review, especially when you have 10 PRs of 5-10k lines to review in a day because your manager has lost their mind and other developers appear to forget libraries exist. oh and you had feedback on one of those PRs? well lets just regenerate a complete new codebase and start from scratch.

    i forget who said it but they mentioned it's a DDOS on human intelligence and energy and i really have to agree.

    have you tried carbon steel? really great once you season it and usually pretty cheap compared to other non-stick pans and last forever. only catch is just a bit of maintenance like a cast iron and i generally use stainless if it's really acidic food like a tomato sauce. though even if it starts to become sticky a coat of oil and throwing it in the oven often repairs it.

    i haven't used a titanium coated pan though, curious if anyone has experience with both?

    i would say it's the fault of whoever thought it was a good idea to hook it up to their data. the workers are just doing what they're paid to do and trying to put up with literal insanity or risk termination.
