@shilohhh_ I know that in Europe, kids much younger than 12 go places on their own. And I've been to Mexico, and kids on their own there is a common sight

@shilohhh_ It's interesting to me that there's another country that's even stricter than the US on this.

My Jamaican mind cannot comprehend how this is helicopter parenting
Quail Comrade 🚩@ComradeQuail
Helicopter parenting is just the default now. And people wonder why so many kids are anxious and socially incapable.

@Konology_ Do you think that in the past there weren't adults in movie theaters?

@HighHeelEsquire She is THIRTEEN. If she was 16 or 17, yes this would be crazy overbearing. What are they doing at just 13 they don’t want the mom to see? She’s too young to be totally unsupervised. I don’t think this is too much at all. They’re babies.

One thing I may do to attempt to survive offshoring and AI is start a developer blog to document experimental/self-education software projects. Seems like a good thing to do while I'm still employed.
I might purge my old posts and rebrand this page if I do that.

The transformer model behind modern LLMs is from a 2017 google paper.
Alexandra Kleeman@AlexKleeman
LLMs have been around for decades, I was in cog sci and nobody thought they were a pathway to general intelligence. The fact that they are being passed off as that right now is straightforward fraud.

@tuffsmurfen96 @LadyBleach I remember when I was younger, that baby sitters were sometimes as young as 13.

@LadyBleach @ComradeQuail At 13, a kid can be alone an entire day.

Phone and tablet cameras are still dog shit compared to professional cameras, or just pro-sumer level cameras, most people just have never used one so they have no idea.
It's still the case that equipment is not much of a barrier to photography. Practice is.
avahgaar@avahgaar
Cheap yet HQ cameras everywhere (in phones & tablets) make photography/videography accessible to many; the gatekeeping game of photographers with fancy ass equipment is now gone. Similarly, AI will smash away the made-up barrier for non-tech folks to build stuff themselves.

With AI people act like the code doesn't matter. They'll even say that. Or they'll say "coding isn't the hard part".
I bet they thought the code doesn't matter before, too. That's why so much software sucks.
I'm still scared AI will replace me. But code does matter.
English
It's token hungry as hell, barely faster than hand coding, and you don't get a feel for the code base doing it. Targeted LLM use is much better. I'd rather hand code, I'd rather vibe code and produce whatever junk the llm thinks is good.
English
AI coding tools are obviously useful now. No doubt. That said, I think "Spec driven development" and stuff like the BMAD method takes too long. I predict either the models get good enough you don't need it, or it goes out of style. No matter how good reddit guys say it is.

@ziastupidposts No one closely reviews the 10k line PRs AIs easily produce.
LGTM
English
@ziastupidposts There will be some big data leaks and exploits I'm sure. There was already the AI caused AWS shut down that caused them to decide all PRs have to be reviewed by senior engineers. Which, I doubt that fixes the problem.
English
Almost every software engineer is using AI now, if you think any specific app doesn't have AI generated code in it you're wrong.
My workplace tracks adoption and it's at almost 100% among devs. It's pushed on us so hard it's essentially required, but most would use it anyway

Bsky devs are the bravest people known to man
English
@ziastupidposts BMAD specifically takes so long that it feels like it's not much faster than hand writing stuff, and it's definitely less fun than "vibe coding" where you just have the AI randomly write stuff. Tedium.
English
@ziastupidposts My personal feeling is that AI is the most useful, and the most enjoyable to use, when it's used in a targeted way. Specific functions, helping with understanding problems, etc. But the trend is BMAD and having the agents write entire apps that you then review, which sucks.
