@GalvinAlmanza I don't understand why this is controversial? The people making hiring decisions aren't the people caring about the long term economy. If you can have a senior just "do more work" with AI, then you'll do just that. The short term economic proposal for a junior is in a rough spot

@a017444 @Liamjsm How is it lame? This specific example is a bit moot but "I can whip up a piece of custom software for my 1 specific use case and customise it without knowing any code" is a good thing to have!

@Karmagera @plsticgluemoose @Liamjsm OSS (generally) is going to be a lot slower and fiddly than something like this because actively maintained software is trying to appeal to a lot of different use cases. Something like this can be spun up in an hour or 2 and is much easier to modify to your needs

@plsticgluemoose @Liamjsm Yeah the open source community is a spook perpetrated by big software to make you believe AI isn't the final solution! Don't let them trick you into "free and transparent"; programmers are very easily scammed, AI is always your friend :)

@francesbarber13 and the petulant “Chuh! God mum I’ve said sorry why do you have to keep bringing it up all the time. No one cares 🙄” attitude doesnt fill me with confidence that this is a respectful politician worthy of the highest office in the land 😂

I think this is cool and circumstantially useful but like, why is this part of the DLSS main line instead of some niche unrelated filter? It's not doing what DLSS is supposed to

@ProbablyNice @Sentdex @wale_os Yeah I can't argue with that! There are things on the horizon like Bend2 that might go some way to solving that, but definitely a while away

I remember trying to force myself to use C++ to do the same things I could do 100x faster in Python. I just couldn't do it. Not because it was hard, because there was no point for that particular problem. There are obviously still many important and useful usecases for C++ today, but the needs have changed over time. Abstraction is a good and natural thing. It's a core human capability that has given us our entire civilization and allows us to progress technologically. When assembly hit, the machine coders disliked it. When C++ came around, the C/Assembly people disliked it. C++ people still often dislike Python. It's definitely okay to be sad about change, and Mo's take here seems super human and genuine, recognizing mostly that times are changing, but the argument is false. Mo is not useless. Mo just needs harder problems to solve.

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

@adm_ezri @rchieyes @HVilday They're pretty left on most social and political issues, honestly. Not a bad choice

@Sentdex @wale_os All other levels of abstraction nonetheless come with guarantees of functionality. A solution written in python is deterministic. A prompted solution has no guarantees until you inspect the code, at which point it is no longer an abstraction.

@pk_kenzie "make" reads as active development time though, not "we have an on and off plan lasting a year"

@dstephenh99 @post_liberal Think this is largely it. I remember in primary school we had "free reading time" where you'd just read a book for an hour. Did a lot then

@Raen4657 @HoodBiology Probably, but I can't imagine they're encroaching on the published bookstore space that professionals more rely on. The indie space for just about everything is oversaturated with slop though, but that was true pre-AI as well, just accelerated now

@SirProdigle @HoodBiology I've heard there is a huge number of AI books being released these days. I imagine authors are also pretty unhappy.

@Raen4657 @HoodBiology No that's fair! I think the copyright angle from art models tends to be the perceived lack of income from active modern artists, but I would imagine the amount of writing in a similar vein is pretty low

@SirProdigle @HoodBiology I don't either. I have no problem with AI training in the first place, but for the people that call training on works without consent theft, they need to know that applies to more than just image generators. To allow for one and not the other is just hypocrisy.

@SirProdigle @HoodBiology A model trained for coding isn't trained just on code. It has to be conversational. Like any other LLM, trained on high quality text.

@Raen4657 @HoodBiology I mean the copyright issue doesn't *really* exist with generated code. It does in a small part, but not anywhere near the same

@cuubezzz @Itookthis2 @tylerwith4rs I mean that's the point that I'm making. If you're going to use one anyway, doing it via a data centre is going to give you efficiency tech that a home GPU doesn't

@SirProdigle @Itookthis2 @tylerwith4rs ?????? Might as well say never play video games because your GPU might run at 100% utilisation (same thing as running a prompt on your own PC)

@Itookthis2 @tylerwith4rs There are multiple reasons "using AI" might be bad. In this case by supporting a corporation (cursor AI) that utilises purpose built AI data centers, they feed into the economic mechanism that makes computer parts, electricity and water go up in price, making living harder for us
