    abandoning the science part of computer science has left the door open for woo. everything the bot peddlers do reeks of it. oh your code won&#39;t compile because this agent is a scorpio and saturn&#39;s in the fourth house or whatthefuckever

    as a javascript apologist i can admit that the fandom main site doesn&#39;t make a great case for its continued existence. even with an ad blocker that thing is a phone-heating fucking barely usable eyesore so of course we have stored all the gaming guides on it

    run for governor with no qualifications. sell soft drinks with tap water from your hose and call it paleo. build a submarine and lease it. steal a car and say your ai agent did it. sell sea glass you found on the beach as medicine. there&amp;#39;s no one left in any sort of oversight to care.

    remember: they aren&#39;t *really* saying their machines write better than we do, they are fundamentally suggesting that the quality of writing doesn&#39;t matter

    RE: https://beige.party/@cap_ybarra/116954784398951173 i changed my mind. boost even if you don&#39;t feel like it. tell your friends. ask your neighbors. cajole your acquaintances. i am so curious as to how widespread this phenomenon is for mastodon

    If you are a person who writes code for a living, do you report to a leader who is requiring you to use AI tools against your will? Please boost for reach if you feel like it

    one reason the state of things is so exhausting in software sphere is that the AI project and the fascist project dovetail so well, as each is replacing knowable truth - fascism with vibes, AI with plausible outputs, offering something truth-shaped or truth-feeling without actually being true it&#39;s about abandoning objective truth as worth seeking or even being possible

    RE: https://plush.city/@scarlet/116575238443930665 right on. tech is a monoculture of white dudes who believed that their ascent was only due to their meritocratic fitness and then ensured they&#39;d never hire too many people who&#39;d challenge that

    @vie@hachyderm.io huge ratio of opportunists in the field who never liked the job to begin with and just were looking to cash out. they would have been in finance in the 80s but tech is where the money is today
