Turns out deporting a bunch of people with a different shade of skin or a different accent didn’t make everyone left behind richer.

All the money still goes to the multinational corporations who don’t pay their taxes, the CEOs who are shielded from taxes, the shareholders who pay less taxes and the private equity investors who borrow big to buy companies then somehow magically transfer that debt to the company, and who also get a big tax discount compared to those of us who earn our money.

Turns out it was never the immigrants making Americans poor in the first place. Who knew?!

Same goes for rust and memory safety. What’s your point?

Elm for ever!

Every professional developer with actual training and actual proper tooling can confirm that they are feel indeed tremendously more productive.

Congratulations on responding to the first paragraph of his post. https://lemmy.world/post/44873477/23080810 (The one that made you super cross. Sure nothing from your sandbox ever makes it into production. Great. Very wise and very careful.)

No congratulations on responding to any of the rest of what I said.

Ah yes, lovely mcp. Lovely anthropic mcp. Make sure you give anthropic lots of money and use their tools and then you’ll be completely safe plugging the output of the llm into the os. Definitely fine yes.

I bet you your contract with them says they’re not liable for shit their llm does to your files, your environment or your repositories, mcp or no mcp.

Fool.

You’ll be the 4753rd guy with the oops my llm trashed my setup and disobeyed my explicit rules for keeping it in check.

You know programmers who use llms believe they’re much more productive because they keep getting that dopamine hit, but when you actually measure it, they’re slower by about 20%.

You appointed yourself boss over a fast and plausible intern who pastes and edits a LOT of stack overflow code, but never really understands it and absolutely is incapable of learning. You either spend almost all of your time in code review now for your stupid sycophantic llm interns who always tell you you’re right but never learn from you, or you’re checking in vast quantities of shit to your projects.

You know really subtle, hard to find bugs on rare cases that pass your CI every single time? Or ones that no one in their right mind would have made, but yet they compile and look right at first glance. They’re now your main type of bug. You are rotting your projects with your random number generator.

And you think that all the money you’re playing for your blagging llms protects you from them fucking up everything for you. But it doesn’t. And you’ll also find that your contract with your llm supplier expressly excludes them from any liability whatsoever arising from you using it instead pre-blaming you for trusting it.

no its just the free models…

You just have to be aware… when using a cheap model

You: just the cheap ones

I never said that.

Ohhhhhhhhh ok yes of course you never said or implied that. Not your repeated message at all. And yet you can’t keep away from adressing your criticism towards free or cheap LLMs! It’s like your subtext or your underlying belief is that of you just pay big tech enough money and they can just build a big enough set of server farms, it’ll be ok. No, it will not be ok and the enshittification has begun from an already shitty base point.

All LLMs are shit, the cheap and free ones are indeed just easier to spot as generating shit, if you ask them about things you know about. But you have to accept that they’re ALL shit and STOP making get out clauses for the expensive ones by firing your criticisms exclusively at the cheap or free ones.

Giving ANY LLM executive power over your data is A BIG MISTAKE because you’re putting your data in the control of something which operates, at its heart, as a random number generator. They’re trained to sound right. People trust them because they sound right. This is a fundamental error.

Everyone else who has any sense: llms are shit and you shouldn’t trust them with executive power.

You: just the cheap ones.

Me: no, all of them. What kind of lunatic trusts control of anything important to a fundamentally stochastic process?

I love how your response to the catastrophic results of stupidly trusting ai is “pay more money to ai companies”.

Sane person’s response: don’t trust llms.

I enjoyed the chuckle this gave me.

My mail provider isn’t that big. We got blocked by both outlook and gmail, but I duckduckwent a workaround which worked. Something about editing some mail record somewhere. Can’t remember what, I’m afraid.

Wow. I think if I lived in that sort of climate I might not be driving an electric car. But I also think the likelihood of me moving to a climate that hostile is low. Keep safe out there!

Looks pretty uncomfortable to me, but at least it has a flared base. The internet has been very clear on that being important.

True, but I don’t need to charge at -30C, and this thing charges FAST.

Even some commercial less well known mail providers are sometimes blocked by big players like gmail and outlook for anti-spam reasons.

Soooooo racist, soooooooo stupid. Very Trump.

There’s more to a country than is in front of your nose, and for the third time, learning Welsh is compulsory in schools. You’re acting incredibly ignorant and you sound like you’re trying to be offensive deliberately.

Ah yes good old tens of thousands in debt and property costing ten times what it used to when boomers bought them, cost of living souring, wages not climbing, and of course it’s the cheap tasty chicken keeping the young folk from owning their own home. Yeeeesss. Great financial logic there, (checks notes) Wall Street Journal.

I was going to guess that it was one of Trump’s idiot corrupt collaborators or AI, and here it is, Elon Musk’s idiot collaborators.
