Cleaning up after AI rockstar developers - Jesse Skinner

We've all worked with a rockstar developer. They joined the team years ago, full of energy. They had great ideas about new tech, new paradigms, new architectures. Their cutting-edge ideas left everyone else feeling a bit behind and outdated.

More and more LLMs are coming out of China and they will become more and more used in Europe unless there are safe alternatives. We are repeating the same mistakes we made for cloud computing, and Europe is left behind. While I know Mistral exists, it does not seem to be relevant and able to keep up. Also, #Norway has the great conditions to train our own models (cheap, renewable energy), but is there anyone doing it?

I hate phone calls. AI confirmation calls are the new Instructional Videos. Just send me instructions, a text, an email, FFS.

Ärger über Manga-Inszenierung: Trump, der Möchtegern-Ninja

Mal zeigt er sich als Jesus, mal als Papst: Donald Trump ist bekannt für seine absurden KI-Videos. Dass er sich nun als Manga-Held Naruto inszeniert, empört viele Japaner. Diese Figur ist das genaue Gegenteil von ihm.

I’m trying to decide how to properly address a #noAI policy on my open source projects. My licence and copyright are already a no-AI policy and I believe that adding md files to your repo to politely tell the AI companies to go fuck themselves only helps legitimise them and weaken #copyright.

I’m not running any team projects so I can say up front that there is a blanket no-AI policy and something will probably be added whenever I next have to touch those repositories (why should it be me doing the work, I should be sending them the bill!)

Fuck AI, but especially fuck AI apologists. Fuck anybody who gives in “because it’s easier”, or “nobody was helping”. Fuck anybody who brushes away the horror behind the curtain because their ego is more important to them.

You use the slop machine and you are no longer a programmer: you are not my kin, you don’t know my hard fought wins. You chose the enemy. Get behind me Satan. I code because of what I learn and inspire in others on the journey. Your journey to the end is littered with crimes against humanity. You are dead to me.

Went to sleep witnessing the birth of the first trillionaire, woke up to the US cutting the world off from AI.

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool …

If You are Asking for Human Attention, Demonstrate Human Effort | Tom Bedor's Blog

An ever-increasing volume of debug investigations, document writing, and code is written by robots. This has created a new etiquette question when working with a team - when is it OK to forward the output of an AI to another human to read?

@ki @hell no, otherwise @mrmasterkeyboard wouldn't have to #fork #vim from the last non-#AIslop - #enshittified version…

That fork is called #EVi (Enhanced [?] Vi):

evi

EVi, a hard-fork of Vim v9.1.0 (Jan 2024) before AI was used in the project.

Big firms' big problem: no one reads what AI writes...

16 of 27 sources in a consulting report were fake.

Made up. Dead links. Things that were never there.

The AI did not fail. It predicts the next word. It does not check truth.

Nobody read it.

Sixteen of twenty-seven sources in one consulting report did not check out. AI slop that looks finished, and why big firms cannot police it.
