what a fucking shitshow.

@peter really surprised? I mean the guy lets AI write code he des not review and blasts it in the world

@peter Ah, the guy Armin (mitsuhiko), the dev behind minijinja, credits for getting him into slop generation. He seems like an inspiration.

@peter Irresponsible AI is not new, but it is dangerous

@scrwd @jaredwhite @peter @suzannealdrich Many years ago, a drinking pal was a social worker with a niche caseload. Young (for the most part) men who had suffered head injuries (and subsequent disablement) in motorcycle crashes. Mid-life guys pobably have a residual sense of survival.

@scrwd @jaredwhite @peter @suzannealdrich I remember reading about that.
It mostly seemed to come down to them underestimating how much two things had changed in the intervening years:

• how badly their reflexes had slowed down, and
• how wildly the power and agility of sportsbikes had improved (the Fireblade was a legit game-changer).

It may have been about feeling young again, but it seems more often to have been that they feel they can pick it up again.

Me? I just never had kids :)

I see a common factor, in any case: seriously underestimating just how abruptly and how badly it can get out of hand.

@peter So, there's this guy that built a machine for people to avoid using their brains, and he's now telling people to use their brains? Did I get this right?

@peter luckily, it’s not exactly an essential tool

[trashwizard@mastodon.social]

@peter @wendynather ageism is pretty cool. I’m sure this isn’t the fruit of the same poisoned corporate tree that caused companies to “adopt” open source literally because it was free

@peter
Why don't he just create a bunch of AI Agent Reviewer to support him?
It's so easy!

@eschaton @peter you use a text editor? Fucking shameful that.

@peter I spent my childhood to mid-30s writing code, then a decade in teaching, then back to writing code and LLMs are *why* I'm now burning out.

[marjolica@social.linux.pizza]

@KatS @scrwd @jaredwhite @peter @suzannealdrich well back in the day in the UK you could pass your motorcycle test (as I did) on a 12hp CB125 and that still qualifies me today (50 years later) to ride any motorcycle whatever its size or capacity. Needless so say these days I don't ride any motorcycle.
Also back in those days I used to program in Fortran, PL/1 and APl. These days I never try anything harder than writing bash scripts by hand and would never touch an LLM with a bargepole.
I think the analogy holds pretty well, but it says a lot about how little must be inside the heads of those that are VPs these days.

@peter I abso-f-cking-lutely LOVE that he doesn't even remotely entertain the idea of using ClawdBot to check for malicious skills. It's a wondrous machine that can do anything as long as it is irelevant and unsafe.
