What makes you say this?

When you see a group of people being critical, you can either see it as a “bummer”, or you can see it as people critically thinking about a thing.

Is it really more useful to have everyone expressing how much they like something instead of identifying problems?

Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why?

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but I’ll answer. It’s not worth the (token) cost. It’s too inefficient. It’s brute-forcing solutions to problems by spending more and more tokens.

And the trade off for that productivity is relying on a completely untrustworthy company/product that gets more expensive and uncertain by the week while your skills erode.

When the motorcycle manufacturers keep making each new model worse and more expensive and the government keeps trying to ban them.

Have you considered getting better at coding so you can build stuff yourself instead of waiting for models you might not be able to get access to anymore?

Using LLMs for development is not efficient. All of the problems these companies are having trying to provide enough compute and energy are proof.

Understanding the actual problems we are trying to solve with code and efficiently coming up with solutions (essentially, pre-LLM development) will always be better than wastefully brute forcing solutions with LLMs.

> AIslop is of higher quality than devslop on average.

How did you come to that conclusion? That goes against everything I've heard from people who understand development. Every resource I can find about AI vs non-AI development comes to the exact opposite conclusion you did.

Funny that you came to this conclusion and then posted the comment anyway.

> ICE is just enforcing law.

"This changed in June 2025, just weeks after White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, reportedly frustrated with the slow increase in ICE arrests, called the head of every ICE Field Office into a room in Washington, DC and ordered them to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.” Following this meeting, the Trump administration launched its first splashy raid of an American city, sending hundreds of agents into Los Angeles and sparking fiery confrontations between protestors and federal agents." [0]

That's what you're talking about when you say "just enforcing the law"?

> Also they're enforcing the law regardless of the skim color.

"Publicly available ICE and research datasets show clear shifts in who is being arrested and detained—large growth in interior arrests and detention of people without U.S. criminal convictions and major variation across states—but they do not provide a consistent, complete public breakdown of ICE arrests and detention by race and nationality at the county level, so any precise county-level racial or national origin tallies are not available from the cited public sources." [1]

So how do you know that? Are you just guessing? You're accusing me of the exact thing you're doing. Honestly it sounds to me like you're the one suffering from some serious brainrot.

> You either have lost touch with reality so far to be unable to understand what "oppressed" means or you're just parotting someone else who suffers from that affliction.

This 100% applies to you. If you can’t see ICE actions as oppressive, you’ve definitely lost touch with reality.

That is definitely not what everybody else does. Some people try harder to find the things that they enjoy doing that provide value to others.

Their entire angle here is that Siri AI itself is private/secure. Siloing data from the thing that they’re advertising as private and secure wouldn’t make sense.

It sounds like you’re both agreeing that windows should be controlled by either the user OR the OS, not both.
