New comment by deadlast2 in "Firing programmers for AI is a mistake"

The programming is an interface to the machine. The AI even what we know now (LLM's, Agents, RAG) will absorb all that. It has many flaws but is still much better than most programmers.

All future programmers will be using it.

For the programmers that don't want to use it. I think there will be literally billions of lines of unbelievably bad code generated by these 1-100 generation Ai's and junior programmers that need to be corrected and fixed.

[Zero to One](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future/dp/0...) book by Peter Thiel. One thing I took from this book is that Google Micrsoft, Meta are all monopolies. There is no competition. Look even in [Russia](https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/russian-feder...), [China](https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/china) they all use thsi stuff.

Would love to see a similar study on fluoride in modern civilizations.

They are trolling the flerfs. 1. He literally had a green screen on when he was initially broadcasting. 2. He was caught vaping to try and mimic vapor breath. 3. His shadows were all over the place like doubled in length in 3 feet walk. 4. The times were wrong the direction of the sun was wrong. 5. They were saying the place is empty when there are a load of people down there recently. 6. They are walking on the ground not leaving footprints in the snow. 7. They have studio lights all around the place where they walk. 8. When recording the 24hr sun a tractor literally teleports into view. Thye also got the overlay wrong. 9. He could not pick up snow on the ground where he was talking. 10 The sun literally changed shape in the sky. 11. They kept to this tiny area with no exploration whatever the audience asked they would not do. I don't know whether they went down there but it sure felt like a staged stuidio production.

I honestly would prefer to talk to an AI customized to my personalty. I get erratic can change my mind and have get crazy ideas like the earth being flat etc. So if you had an AI you can just be yourself always without any judgement or repercussions. Even if that changes from day to day.

- Anora: really good movie. Bit rude at the start but leaves you thinking about it a long time after. Also ended up arguing a lot with my whife what it was actually about. - The Return: not bad a bit long but a good rendition. - Day of the Jackal: This was good series.

Why does Apple get to get it app store and its browser and its phones and OS etc. What about Microsoft with its OS's and apps.

Maybe Daisy has become sentient and has taken over all operations at 02. No one noticed.

deadlast2 — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 23:34:54 +0000

Try playing a video game. So stop working for a while and just play a game. I stopped working and started playing Diablo IV. The idea was to get to level 100. My reasoning was this I wanted to remember what it felt like spending a long time doing something I enjoyed. It is repetitive like coding can be but I enjoyed it. Got to 100. Then did a few more characters and then wanted to get back to work.

For me my usage has decreased a lot. I used to keep current with my subscriptions. I do check youtube often to see if there is anything I want to watch but I don't think I have watch anything in weeks. Since this addblock thing started I find the site off-putting.

The uni-party in Canada is Just a load of creeps putting profit before health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6591881/

This is obviously poison. If you smoke you will tend to buy and use too much and I am telling you it has a massive impact on your mental and physical health.

No matter what cost to the users of this crap as long as there is a buck to be made for the creeps and their buddies in the eternal circle jerk it will remain legal.

On your homepage https://www.openstatus.dev/ the Star on Github button shows 0. I think it should show the actual count 2.3k.

Stopping migration/immigration from poorer to richer countries would be an even better solution. Stopping all long haul air travel would even be better. If you are being honest you know this will never be solved because no one believes it.

Maybe there are multiple echo chambers, left, right climate change, ai doom, crypto... we tend to gravitate towards these because we like to get opinions that closely match our current one.

What I love is the same guys that were pushing crypto are now big into AI. The true entrepreneurs.
