"Yes, it is. It's amazing how quickly it has destroyed dev, sec, ops, management, company missions and priorities, regulations, information literacy, and civil society, making everyone more vulnerable."
J4ck@cR0w Hi, yes. This is me. I am dev, sec, ops, management that has been destroyed making everyone more vulnerable.
Mostly dev, sec & ops... but there was some mild management in there (against my better judgement).
This is exactly the truth. AI is a tool. But it's a tool that has been given some kind of mystical authority over long term thinking.
@jackryder It's not even a tool though. It's more of a component. Like asbestos in brake pads. Or lead in paint. They made people feel like they were improving the product while in reality they were killing the customers and the environment.
A wizard did it 
🇨🇦@cR0w @jackryder Asbestos in brake pads and lead in paint did improve the product though. If they weren't so horriffic to human health, we would still be using them. Conversely, I've yet to see an instance where AI has actually improved anything. At best it lets people who are mediocre at their jobs output a higher quantity of mediocre work.

@Mustardfacial @cR0w @jackryder exactly this. And they also were not DIRECTLY harmful. Asbestos wrapped around pipes is totally safe, UNTIL you disturb it or it starts breaking up into fibers. Lead paint is safe as long as it isn't crumbling because the lead content is fully contained.
Slop is immediately harmful for no benefit. There is no safe state. It only APPEARS to increase mediocre output when in fact it only increases DEFECTIVE output.
@rootwyrm @cR0w @jackryder Asbestos was directly harmful to the people producing the sheets that you wrapped around pipes, lead in the paint was directly harmful to the people producing the paint. It was awful to the factory workers themselves more than to the average consumer.
@Mustardfacial @cR0w @jackryder as a subscriber to multiversal theory, I sometimes joke:
Three dimensions over, scientists are debating whether it was ethically right to kill Hitler in the cradle.
Two dimensions over has a supersoldier that punches Nazis into other dimensions.
One dimension over, scientists are debating the ethics of exiling young HIitler to another dimension.
And over here we're going 'where the fuck are all these Hitlers coming from!?'
