@vmachiel@mastodon.nl @marcoarment@mastodon.social The worst part about it is it’ll only happen to the good ones. We’re not going to see bad developers quit, only disillusioned good ones. The ongoing trend of declining software quality is accelerating, and I wish proponents understood they will get bitten in the ass too.
We shouldn’t give a rat’s ass about being able to make the billionth to-do/notes/reminders app with one prompt, when the reality is we’ll be significantly more impacted when our hospitals/travel/government leaks our data and makes preventable mistakes that’ll maim our lives. And that’s without even mentioning the accelerating harm to society, which is worse than social media (look for AI psychosis and AI boyfriends).
But hey, at least we can now flood social media with the same boring takes and apps that no one will care about because they’re too busy making their own boring copies, while enriching the worst of the man-childs. So, worth it?
