Gen AI found the biz model.

step 1: subsidize code generation so everyone forgets how to read/write code manually

step 2: many shops fire software dev and IT folks who know how to write code to save money

step 3: now charge 10x to 50x to ensure the AI generated code by that most humans largely can't understand actually works and cause outages

step 4: announce new code fix service that even cost more to fix AI mess

this is like donuts & weight loss/dietitian biz working out of same office

@nixCraft sorry what? The connection between donuts and diabetes is?

@pikesley @nixCraft assuming a genuine question: obesity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Obesity and donuts have a relationship...

@damien @nixCraft right, see, this is what I was getting at. I have type-1 and I DID NOT GET IT FROM EATING FUCKING DONUTS

@pikesley @nixCraft sure, but type 1 and type 2 are different.

@nixCraft working as intended. create a problem and sell the solution. nothing out of the ordinary here 🤷

The net result is more hours of human programmer time, but now you have an excuse to pay them far less.

@nixCraft That's an old model. It's called 'dumping'. Before deregulation, it used to be commonly prohibited. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dumping.asp
Dumping: Price Discrimination in Trade, Attitudes and Examples

Dumping is the export of a product at a price that is lower in the foreign market than the price charged in the exporter's domestic market.
