Not sure; probably not.

Yep that’s basically what they said at my job too.

Get bent

Nope dude, I actually know how to type em dashes. It isn’t very difficult on lemmy (which is markdown formatted). It’s done by three regular dashes in a row: —. But I can do it on Macbook (opt+shift+dash) as well as on Linux (u+2014). I like em dashes and the bots can take them from my cold, dead hands. In this case, I used the markdown formatting because I was replying on my phone.

Yeah this kinda fits into “CEO said a thing” journalism. Even if he’s correct — and intuitively it seems like he might be — people should ask for evidence. But our corporate press is useless and/or complicit and almost never asks a follow-up question.

capitalist beast

I agree with the sentiment but this phrasing in this era makes it sound like a good thing. May I suggest monster?

Explains why they want you to think it’s also a person.

They’re all fucking pathetic.

Yup free models are gonna be the death of these clowns

Someone needs to do the needful

Kindly, please. 🙏

They should just get it to write poetry in the code base for the comments. Get it to write a screenplay in the properties files. Really lean into the stupid capabilities that are in all of these fucking things for some reason.

This is like saying the “ceasefire” the US had with the native population was “strained” or “shaky”.

It’s amazing what wonders dreadful soul-sucking language can do to seemingly erase the sins of those committing them.

Fucking George Carlin was 1000000% correct.

Not sold is putting it very mildly. I found a fix for all of the bullshit though: you go into the default apps area and you choose none for assistant. Before I did that they had sideloaded fucking Gemini onto my phone via Android Auto and when I was trying to navigate somewhere I had to speak to some useless middle manager Gemini guy that didn’t like cursing before he passed it off to the virtual woman to do the actual navigation. Google: bringing the patriarchy to your digital assistants.

But it’s the way of the future! How else are you going to learn a trade that trillions will be spent trying to make irrelevant?

What happened? They find another threatening school?

This is the future that the GOP wants for you

Seems like that’s most of the point. Quality software wasn’t really the point of the SaaS wave, the point was to control the target sector and put a choke point in everyone’s real business for software CEOs. LLMs are the same thing, but with software development itself being the thing controlled.

Of course it causes deskilling, that’s exactly the point. They’re trying to make everyone dependent upon their corporations to do any software development at all, and then they can control everything about how it gets done.

In a way, as a software developer myself, I feel like I was played for a fool for the last two decades. Software development was never about improving anyone’s life and always about controlling other people and companies, and extracting all of the profits for themselves. They paid us pretty well to do this because they had no choice. Now they do.

Yeah because the Polish government cannot possibly create a secure messaging app of their own.

You know before cryptography was a software feature it was a crucial part of statecraft. IMO there is nothing wrong with states building their own secure communication software. It has more precedent than “download a US app” — that may or may not have an NSA backdoor — does.

It would help if the media stopped assisting them with their campaigns every cycle.

I’m starting to think this Trump guy might not have the best interests of Americans at heart you guys. Spread the word!
