Where are the incentives at a societal level to prioritize quality over efficiency? Of course if everyone did things the "correct" way we'd have no issues. But societies incentives are messy and contradictory, so taking shortcuts ends up being the more appealing choice in the moment for lots of people.

This is as much a societal issue as it a technological one.

Turns out that when you enjoy something, the same amount of effort doesn't feel so taxing! Who would have thought?

Is this explanation not making a blatant assumption here that girls are statistically less hyperactive and distracted than boys?

"Just do it right and it won't be a problem." This is not an actionable plan. What is engaging? Who gets to decide that? The teacher? The students? The parents? How do deal with certain kids finding different approaches more or less engaging? How do you expect a teacher to curtail their teaching approach to dozens of children at the same time?

Kids get to learn lots of interesting things in school. The problem is that they're kids! They want immediate gratification from phones/games/recess, not to do the hard work of learning.

What about those students who don't have stable home environments? How are they supposed to find multiple hours a day to watch lectures?

How does this address the underlying issue of students off loading work? You've replaced homework with lectures, but haven't solved the problem of making sure the student is actually participating.

Logistically, this could only work if you shortened the school days, but then you would need to adjust the rest of society around that. Many parents structure their work days around their kids school schedules, and if kids need to go school later in the day, or get out earlier, that places a burden on the parents.

Mordern GPUs are streaming multiprocessors. Complaining that GPUs use a ton of resources is like complaining that a firehose uses a ton of water. Maximum data throughput is the point!

>But that isn't what any of that is. Same old. And the effort spent, the resources, the energy. All for more polygons on Lara Croft

There are MANY novel games being released every year. It's up to you to find them.

What are these jobs? I have seen this same opinion by so many, but nobody can hazard a guess what those jobs are. In the meantime, those whosw careers are caught in the blast radius of AI are putting their hope on hypothetical jobs appearing before their employers decide to replace them.

Golly, no wonder people aren't happy!

Golden rule. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

>Sure but that goes both ways in a conversation.

In the situation being discussed, is it even a conversation if one party is not even actively engaging with the other person?

Also, respect is earned not given. If you don't respect me enough to put time into communicating in your own words, you can punch sand because I'm not reading your AI slop.

The only way you're running Deepseek V4 with comparable quality/performance is through OpenRouter, at which point you're still susceptible to being price gouged in the future, or by spending >$20k on hardware.

This is how societies become shittier. People who are ostensibly responsible for doing their jobs not giving a damn about quality.

Seemingly every AI pilled programmer who writes a blog post on AI's impact on software engineering has the same philosophical argument, and it's wording changes slightly every 6-12 months to reflect the newest models capabilities.

In 2023 it was: "AI is just autocomplete. It can't code whole blocks on it's own."

In 2024 it was: "AI is only good for scaffolding new projects, or boiler plate code. It can't write the application whole sale."

Since November 2025 it's been: "AI is only writing the code for us. It can't manage architecture, or do the long term planning required for real world applications."

In 6-12 months when the AI is doing an increasing amount of the architecture and high level planning, what will AI pilled programmers fall back on then?

Agreed. Both technologies create unhealthy dependencies that many people would prefer to cut out.

>AI coding hurts your ego. People keep forgetting this is just a tool that accelerate what you want to do.

Are drummers propping up their egos for not using drum machines? There's a class of developer who genuinely enjoys the act of programming.

There are cultures that believe the number of chromosomes you are born with determines your autonomy in society. I think most people on here would reject that framing, even if they're met with the same excuse.
