I’d be interested in this, do you have sources (also ideally to test this myself)?

The beginning of time…

If you inherit/“born rich” I don’t think so…

I honestly think, it’s very cool for prototyping ideas at this point. It’s also parasitic. Although I think because of (maybe) different reasons: It gives people the power (which they unfortunately use way too much) to imitate an art, but in an non-arty imperfect way that doesn’t comprehend details (of the art), resulting in slop. For software that can go very wrong as we see here. This is also a reason why I mostly quit open-source, because now everyone can code a bad version of a library, it sucked the art out of good open source etc. and it’s increasingly difficult because of good wording/“look” etc. to differentiate on quality of code, previously you could often check a code-base review it somewhat and know how good the quality is, now it’s more like “is this slop or not?” (in which case I go a big circle around it, because reviewing is often not worth it)

At some point though, I think this automation of work is inevitable, we need to think about a society that can peacefully exist without having the requirement to work to exist. I actually think this could easily be utopian, everyone can focus on what they actually think is fulfilling life.

Though, it’s sad and concerning that technology is developing faster than society can adapt, which is why I’m mostly with you, because people (or representatives like politicians) just aren’t “programmed” for these fast-paced changes, to adapt the technology such that the future may be more utopian as it currently is heading towards a dystopian future…

Yeah I think the route of Norway makes more sense. Prohibition failed historically multiple times. I think education and factful discussions (pros/cons) without irrational condemning drugs would actually be a sustainable long term solution for addiction (because let’s face it, it’s mostly about unhealthy addiction).

Just legalise all kinds of substances without e.g. ads and other measures that effectively reduce the issue. And give proper education early (ideally from long term addicts, so that it’s believable and properly shows the issues).

We see with weed, opiates and currently growing cocaine where uncontrolled markets go and promote addiction…

I doubt that this will be much different with tobacco in a prohibited future…

I only trust math with my data (i.e. encryption…)

Don’t wanna be that guy, but: You misspelled Microslop.

5 dimensional chess: He weakens the US so that Russia has a weaker “enemy”.

I mean at least he didn’t attack the Ukraine yet…

Though this potential strategy might backfire to a civil-war where both sides are somewhat equally trained…

Ok, I like that attitude, but could you go into more detail? AFAIK hardware wise the samsung will likely be better in every way I think?

You might’ve heard of it, there’s something that is called water, probably the healthiest you can drink. Otherwise you could eat multiple apples but at some point it gets unhealthy again (still contains quite a bit of fructose…)

Still plenty unhealthy, sugar is absorbed way faster than just eating an apple.

But yeah still more healthy than something that contains HFCS as second ingredient (and thus after water the highest contributing ingredient…)

reasonably well

hmm not in my experience, if you don’t care about code-quality you can quickly prototype slop, and see if it generally works, but maintainable code? I always fall back to manual coding, and often my code is like 30% of the length of what AI generates, more readable, efficient etc.

If you constrain it a lot, it might work reasonably, but then I often think, that instead of writing a multi-paragraph prompt, just writing the code might’ve been more effective (long-term that is).

plan it correctly and the actual implementation of the correct plan will take no time at all.

That’s why I don’t think AI really helps that much, because you still have to think and understand (at least if you value your product/code), and that’s what takes the most time, not typing etc.

it‘s just different.

Yeah it makes you dumber, because you’re tempted to not think into the problem, and reviewing code is less effective in understanding what is going on within code (IME, although I think especially nowadays it’s a valuable skill to be able to review quickly and effectively).

Unfortunately it’s a general theme in Open Source. I lost almost all motivation for programming in my free-time because of all these AI-slop(-PRs). It’s kinda sad, how that Art (among others) is flooded with slop…

No it’s not entirely clearly defined. But a few elements appear in all of them: Anti- communism/socialism, dictator, far-right idiologies, nationalism…

I wouldn’t say any if these are desired by leftism, or rather opposites.

Honest opinion, I don’t think they would ever be the bad guys, only a dead or non-existent Nazi is a good Nazi.

But I guess the unfortunate thing is that ICE would group together and an actual civil war starts (in which ICE likely has the upper hand, as it gets funded by the government and Nazis are more likely to have firearms I guess), which is probably exactly what the Trump Administration wants, I don’t know it’s a pretty bad situation there…

(For real: all those products and descriptions/titles are so bad, it has to be AI-slop)

The problem though (with AI compared to humans): The human team learns, i.e. at some point they probably know what the mistake was and avoids doing it again. AI instead of humans: well maybe the next or different model will fix it maybe…

And what is very clear to me after trying to use these models, the larger the code-base the worse the AI gets, to the point of not helping at all or even being destructive. Apart from dissecting small isolatable pieces of independent code (i.e. keep the context small for the AI).

Humans likely get slower with a larger code-base, but they (usually) don’t arrive at a point where they can’t progress any further.
