Yeah a bunch of negativity about the business case instead of just appreciating someone sharing their work.

Yes my kids also hate it. They keep it muted and just watch for the visual indicator that the next section is available. It’s worse than the annual corporate compliance training that many adults have to suffer through. One thing to be optimistic about with LLMs is that even unattended poorly prompted vanilla coding LLMs won’t naturally produce such horrible software. It takes distinct human intervention to make it this bad.

Yeah I agree. It’s an acute problem on social media platforms where there’s a market force incentivizing it. If you’re mostly engaging in specific niche interactions with known communities or people, it’s not nearly so prevalent. The internet still works fine as a whole.

Surely this will end well. There are dozens of us who prefer to patronize corporations that aren’t actively evil.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Scores, even!

That’s a thought-provoking suggestion. Most services would go out of business, and there would be a cascade of change. I wonder what would remain?

Is it great? No. Is it usually good enough? Yes. CI shouldn’t be a main quest for most engineers. Just get it rolling early and adjust as needed.

“Plainclothes forces raid homes across country, put detainees in secret lockups”

Huh.

Fair, but it’s an exaggerated statement that’s supposed to clue us into the tone of the piece with a chuckle. Maybe even a snicker or giggle! It’s not worth dissecting for accuracy.

My recent hunch is a lot of the hyperbole in AI inherits from crypto. There’s more utility here, but the grandiosity is still absurd. These guys win biggest if we all believe their narrative.

Yep, I also have been a bit alarmed how this is pattern matching to early phases of the many revolutions covered in the Revolutions podcast. A U.S. revolution is a frightening proposition, even if it’ll seem warranted at some future point.
