Aktivist und Autor Cory Doctorow: »Google versucht, schrottige Suchtreffer durch noch mehr KI-Schrott zu retten«

Cory Doctorow kämpft seit Jahrzehnten gegen die Macht der Techkonzerne. Hier warnt er, dass die Produkte aus dem Silicon Valley durch künstliche Intelligenz nicht besser, sondern schlechter werden.

„Some people are still complaining about the quality of the code generated by LLM’s and I strongly disagree with this take. In my experience, the code generated is actually pretty good. What bothers me is the code quantity. Specially because I don’t believe in “vibe coding” (that is: trusting the generated code and not even taking a look at it). I need to review the code and make sure it’s doing what it’s supposed…“ 1/

The pitfalls of AI augmented development, part 2 – Mario Melo

DISCLAIMER : This is the second post I wrote about the my talk on the Global Scrum Gathering Munich, and even though I don’t think you need to read both posts in order I strongly suggest you to read both of them to get the entirety of the ideas I’m sharing.

„The term Vibe Coding was coined by Andrej Karpathy, and he said that the technique is “not too bad for throwaway weekend projects”. A key part of the definition of vibe coding is that the user accepts code without full understanding, and the AI researcher Simon Willison even said that “If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you’ve reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that’s not vibe coding in…“ 1/

The pitfalls of AI augmented development, part 1 – Mario Melo

My talk on the Global Scrum Gathering Munich was fast, and I said there that I would write about the subject to go deeper into this discussion, so here I am.

„There’s a moment every engineer knows but rarely talks about. It’s not the one before a deploy, or the one after a pager alert. It’s the moment after you’ve opened your 6th tab of the hour, when your eyes blur, your shoulders instinctively rise towards your ears, and you realise you can’t remember what you were doing just 5 minutes ago. It’s the moment where the work stops being work, and becomes interruption management.“

Kommentar: Open-Source-Entwickler arbeiten sich an AI-Bugs krank

Arbeitsverdichtung erzeugt Überlastung bei Entwicklern. Unternehmen scheffeln Milliarden dank Open Source und geben kaum zurück, findet Christopher Kunz.

KI-Code führt vermehrt zu Produktionsausfällen

Die schnelle Einführung von KI-generiertem Code führt laut einer Umfrage vermehrt zu Produktionsausfällen.

„[…] the mind is not the reliable, neutral instrument we tend to assume. Memory reconstructs rather than records. Bias edits what we remember in self-serving directions. Emotion shapes which memories surface and how we weigh what we find. And the modern habit of constant switching quietly erodes our capacity to think carefully at all. Together, these four themes point to the same practical conclusion – a…“ 1/

Faster horses? Nope!

“If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own”

Faster Horses

TL;DR: Henry Ford did not say "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses". He pretty much said the exact opposite.

„"Hello!“ lyukhina lunged forward and hugged Stratt. “I’m here to die for Earth! Pretty awesome, yes?!"
I leaned to Dimitri. "Are all Russians crazy?"
"Yes," he said with a smile. "It is the only way to be Russian and happy at the same time."
"That's ... dark."
"That's Russian!"“
