@DanXAura Not the case. I recently spoke to people in Guatemala who claimed to have seen weird lights in the sky circling around the volcanos and stuff there.

I have always wondered why UFOs and stuff like that only seem to show up in the USA. [Just Curious]

@VildosolaOnX @rand_longevity Sorry about that, Poe’s Law and all 😆

@stillwritescode @rand_longevity It was a joke ! Indias moon probe has take photos of the landing stage of Apollo 11. If anyone had doubts I was glued to the TV watching Armstrong go down the stairs It happened alright Cheers

so is it confirmed we went to the moon?

I’ve been blocked by yet another person who isn’t interested in having a conversation about AI, just wants to live in an echo chamber. So unfortunately I’ll have to reply with a repost. In my experience, AI is reliable enough to perform tasks faster than a human.

@VildosolaOnX @rand_longevity You really don’t think the USSR would have been able to figure that out and call us out on it?

@rand_longevity Na ... It is Psyops against the USSR ! And it worked ! This time it is a Psyops agains China ! And it is working again !!! 🤣

@OV__101 Guessing they weren’t expecting the pad to literally be blown apart by the pressure

this is a silly question to ask but like. why didnt spacex make a proper water deluge system and flame trench for starship from the very beginning? not shitting on em im just yurious

I’m starting to become convinced that everyone who knows how to use AI is busy building stuff and all the people who don’t know how to use AI are here on X telling on themselves

@djpain1 @AlbrightGr56562 Said by “DJ Pain 1” to “Gregory Albright”

@AlbrightGr56562 Probably create an anonymous X profile and troll like a bitch. Isn’t that was people without purpose do?

To promote AI, lies are necessary.

@Daely_Driver3 @TheEternalAbys @BlackDumpling @KiraAurora_VT It’s an instrument. If you think it’s a toy you just haven’t learned how to play it so you think it only makes noise.

@stillwritescode @TheEternalAbys @BlackDumpling @KiraAurora_VT It's an argument against prioritizing AI. If it is in fact inevitable that we're going to have some super brain, doesn't matter who invents it first because it'll get into everyone's hands pretty quickly. Almost nobody even knows what AI even actually is. I do. It's a toy.

Begging people to learn the difference between GenAI and procedural/ other types of AI. AI at base is not the problem. AI models trained on stolen works is. No, Minecraft procedurally generated worlds are not GenAI. At least learn what you’re actually fighting against.

@lucasMnts @CWood_sdf That’s the point, a sufficiently detailed specification file that tells a computer what to do is called code.

@CWood_sdf good luck writing a sufficiently detailed specification on the first place

i love how people are saying "if we write a sufficiently detailed specification, the agent can write all our code" do you know what writing a sufficiently detailed specification that deterministically maps to what a computer's actions is? it's coding

@Daely_Driver3 @TheEternalAbys @BlackDumpling @KiraAurora_VT And that’s an argument against AI?

@stillwritescode @TheEternalAbys @BlackDumpling @KiraAurora_VT You have managed to craft a lovely bouquet of missed points. And in the execution of your sportsball us or them mentality, you have entirely skated past the reality that everything used online stops being proprietary the moment you allow public traffic.

@Rec_A_Dork @aw_labs I just read this tweet and so now I’ve stolen it That’s basically your definition of plagiarism

@aw_labs Plagiarism is not creativity and your whole TL pretty much gives away that you're a Slop Peddler. Begone.

There is no GOOD reason to use Generative AI in the creation of any form of art, be it animation, video games, films, etc. Even as a "placeholder" we have already seen multiple instances of those assets finding their way into final products which always leads to backlash.

@HackingBaseball @dinbuilds That’s fair, you always understand code better when you wrote it yourself vs someone else’s code that you just helped review. I guess it’s best to treat it like a junior engineer who you can have help with smaller tasks where you know the right solution but could save some time.

@stillwritescode @dinbuilds I don’t know if I’d fully agree. While I’m writing things manual I’m simultaneously getting familiar with the codebase and tracing everything. Codex feels like being thrown into someone else’s stuff and feels slower to me.

How many people are still handwriting the majority of your code?

@lucidDonald @Iced_IMP @AndrewC19577055 @KiraAurora_VT What do I care when my employer is the one paying for it?

@stillwritescode @Iced_IMP @AndrewC19577055 @KiraAurora_VT This isn't even a secret. It's already started happening and they're not really even hiding it anymore. They want to make a $200 monthly AI subscription 'just part of the monthly bills.'

@HackingBaseball @dinbuilds You always had to read your code when writing it manually so even if you use codex and read all of its output you’re still iterating faster

@dinbuilds Codex is too much for me 😂 I can’t comprehend or wrap my mind around so much code being generated so quickly.

@DataJuggler007 @HackingBaseball So you heard about a faster and easier way to iterate on code and said, “nah, I’ll keep my job by not improving my productivity”? Let us know how that works out for ya. My bet is on you getting cut out of the loop if you don’t find a way to do that faster than your boss did.

I am. My boss, a lawyer, just told me how he coded a new version of their timesheet app. He let Claude publish straight to GitHub, and then to a web app on Azure. My boss never touches the code locally. I would feel unneeded in that loop. The app works, on web and mobile, and you can upload a receipt and attach it to an expense item.

@TheMG3D Yeah, literally everyone was brilliant before AI and never confidently parroted bullshit. Oh wait

It’s because they use AI for every damn thing, they can’t even form their own thoughts without consulting ChatGPT

@lucidDonald @Iced_IMP @AndrewC19577055 @KiraAurora_VT Can I borrow your crystal ball then? Because I don’t think anyone really knows where this leads. I can imagine at least two wildly different outcomes. But it largely depends on whether or not people are unreasonably alarmist like we were about nuclear energy.

@stillwritescode @Iced_IMP @AndrewC19577055 @KiraAurora_VT I use the 'new tech' probably every day. Most of us aren't given a choice. I work in a tech job. It's unavoidable. People want to pretend it's 'oh your hatred is just luddite, you'd have hated the camera...' blah blah. No. It's just I know where the path leads.

@Iced_IMP @RottN16th @KiraAurora_VT That’s not going to matter soon. That’s like asking “how do you measure someone’s ability to control a horse” now that everyone is driving cars.

@RottN16th @KiraAurora_VT How do you measure/determine degraded human development?

@Iced_IMP @RottN16th @KiraAurora_VT Yep. We even have AI that reviews our AI generated code for us now. The thing is we were always being rushed to produce code with a bunch of technical debt before, and now we can just work faster. That lets us take the time to produce better code, tests, documentation, etc.

@RottN16th @KiraAurora_VT It's not just vibe coders or AI agents. Devs make heavy use of gen AI tools within their editors, even within code review/PRs. Industry is pushing more and more Gen AI use in coding. Which is back to my question, do you think it is acceptable to use Gen AI for creating code?

@RottN16th @Iced_IMP @KiraAurora_VT Yeah well most of us don’t code in Assembly language either and there were always purists making this argument about every higher level language and framework along the way. This is just a new level of abstraction.

@Iced_IMP @KiraAurora_VT i do look, its still not ideal long-term. Soon enough people will overrely and not even figure what is wrong with their generated code or where the problem started with. Oh Ai Agents is a thing now, but you still check and put shit manually anyways so lol.
