YEP. It might shock people but there’s a good deal of people who are just, “you had it, now care for it even if it costs everything” and look at the baby as some sort of divine punishment for having sex before marriage.
They don’t care about either the mother or the child.
YEP. I’m not in AI but I’m in cyber security.
I used to tell people that there’s very little actual risk, because if we had something even half as concerning as AGI (which I’d argue we did with chatgpt 3.5), that we’d easily be able to lock it down and prevent it from doing anything funny.
Super intelligence isn’t just going to magically spawn on 32 GB ram in a sandboxed environment. And AGI will not magically know how sandboxed it is or how to escape.
…then I saw people letting Claude send emails and use their credit card on their behalf like immediately when it was able to do things that appeared intelligent.
They literally saw the smallest hint of AGI and said, “here’s my credit card and identity, take the wheel”.
There was no fucking talk of sandboxing. Everyone turned that off so they didn’t have to click the “allow” button.
Not that I think we’re at any risk of ASI since it seems more like we hit a logarithmic wall, but we are absolutely at risk of letting random algorithms destroy critical parts of infrastructure because people are lazy and stupid and managed by even worse people.
I would not be surprised if the right AI hallucinations could cause a nuclear bomb to go off right now. I’m not talking about super intelligence, just automated super idiocy.
Proof: literally this post is about an idiot letting an AI control their fucking email and it emailed the FBI because it was fucking stupid
I seriously was going to sell my Nvidia stock thinking the signs are here, but when I thought about it… They might drop a bit but they’ll recover strong probably. They were a profitable business before this.
Literally what I was worried about, that our corrupt as fuck US government would rather double down on the scam and start partaking rather than let the bubble burst.
They literally are going to fund the scam with tax payer dollars rather than just let the bubble do what bubbles do. Too big to fail bullshit.
It’s the dot com era, except 100x as corrupt environment where they can rob the tax payer rather than close shop. We are so royally fucked.
Ding ding ding
Someone says they’re going to build a time machine, that they need investors. They get $10 million from dumb fucks that fall for it.
They keep posting news about how dangerous it is what they’re doing. People start believing they might actually have something. They get $100 million in investments.
They start acting like they are on the brink of either destroying the planet or ending human labor forever. They get $100 million… But some people want to see proof. They say “just trust us, it’s too dangerous”.
People keep waiting for the end of human labor . It doesn’t arrive. People are waiting for proof. It doesn’t arrive.
They work with regulators to say “hey slow us down because for real this is super serial and super dangerous.” the regulators are in on the scam.
everyone laughs, everyone has a good time, Tech Oligarchs sniff Ketamine off each other’s assholes, and they extend the scam just that much longer.
Yeah literally the dry part is just “prevent microbes from taking over between steps”
You could skip drying for most of this if you just went to the next step and cooked it.
You don’t have to dry noodles. You could make the noodles then boil them fresh, and often people buy noodles fresh to do so because yes, it tastes fresher. If someone wanted to make their own noodles from flour it’s worth trying.
Remember to use extra ranch
They literally just got web slinging right and the childhood dream of a game where you fly through building and stop random crimes as Spiderman worked as it did in your imagination.
that was a big feat but yeah, those games were over hyped when they were basically just really fun to move around in
That’s 0d
1d waifu:
Rage Against the Machine but not like in a political way or anything, just like, noises and anger and centrism
I do think the entire dev industry, not just game dev but software development, leaning more and more on AI is having some serious consequences that not many see yet. I say that as someone who is in a company under a CEO that is drinking the AI Kool aid too, someone I interact with a decent amount. I see how leadership reacts to this stuff and how dev behavior has changed since 20 years ago to AI getting started a few years ago to today, and there’s some very visible issues.
Software developers, even the good ones, are being heavily pushed to use it and move fast and not look at code too heavily, either their own or their coworkers’. We used to rely heavily on peers reviewing each other’s work. They now claim that workflow is “dead”.
And they only hire half as many juniors, because seniors are filling the gaps so doesn’t and juniors aren’t as “useful” as they used to be. If you want to ask someone to build something out for the next month and heavily review their work to make sure it’s correct because you don’t trust them … You can do it with AI, except it’s done in a day, and people decide not to review it because it’s so quick and emits so much slop.
Now they focus on testing, making sure another ai reviewed the AI work, making sure unit tests exist, making sure it followed a well thought out system design (probably one of the smarter parts of mostly dumb ideas), and then they merge it themselves because no one else wants to look at slop.
I’ve noticed that a lot of stuff gets built out, entire fucking products with tons of working menus, and no one even knows who built them or how it works. Then you read the author and see cursor everywhere, and you find who triggered it, and they don’t even know how it works.
Worse, they don’t even know how to check for bugs or watch if things break. They wouldn’t know what would break. And worse, they don’t give a fuck if it breaks because they feel way less like they worked on it, and don’t care about it.
I’ve literally seen an app like that and told the dev hey that’s broken right now, and he said “ask the AI to make a new one”. For fucks sake, what? You want to reprogram something from scratch when you see bugs?
There’s zero ownership, people leave jobs earlier because they stop caring earlier, less people hired back because they only want seniors and people who are willing to do the work of 3 people, and CEOs are slowly letting people go because in their pipedream, AI does everything and they just sit and own it.
Even then, they’re fucking stupid because if I was the guy selling the AI service, I’d just replace every company I essentially already replaced. Why the fuck do I need an external CEO and a company name if they depend 100% on me? I build their product already for them. Why not sell it for them?
The entire software dev industry is slowly getting infested with this “let AI do it” mentality that is making all software worse. I’ve seen apps break these days that never would break before because they have millions of customers using them constantly. But now, who gives a fuck if it breaks for millions, because no one even knows how to check
everyone seems so shocked that it keeps insulting the players intelligence with nav and gps and constant reminders, but do people not realize this is the direction AAA has been going since forever?
I’ve always fucking hated this shit… But people seem to fucking love not having to think or explore in games, and they want to basically watch a movie but feel like they’re in it. We went from Morrowind to Skyrim and Skyrim made more money by reaching a bigger audience.
You take it to the obvious next step and reveal how little faith you have in people’s smooth brains, and while it was basically a step in the same direction, I guess people finally felt insulted.
Games used to be really fucking hard, and “iron man” was just the fucking default lol. You die, you die. Maybe that was shitty but they used to make games where beating it was way crazier. Nowadays it’s mostly “I held up and jumped a few times at the right time”
Yep. There’s a spectrum of how involved people are when they vibecode.
I think the biggest difference I’ve seen is in whether someone still understands how it works and chose that architecture for a reason. A lot of coworkers I’ve had that vibecode don’t understand their own code, and you can tell that’s what’s hurting them the most when it comes to performance and bugs. They don’t know the performance is way worse than it should be, and don’t understand how to even find and fix bugs, or that it has them.
They might have asked for the right features early on but it quickly becomes unmaintainable if they don’t choose architecture with purpose and read the code they didn’t write.
Thankfully I never had to deal with that! While friends were around. My parents knew how to wear the “we’re a perfectly happy family” mask
