lmao 🤡
@nixCraft just imagine how good of a deal that will be once ai companies actually need to make money and the price rises by 10x or more lmao
@jiub @nixCraft Hey, I think that's very smart. Instead of paying developers to write code, have them pay you to let your crappy probability machine give them snippets of stuff that may or may not be secure working code...
@Murenius @jiub @nixCraft even 480 I may say and that blindness is just killing me, wasting £$¥€¢ on sum shit output

@nixCraft Wanna laugh even harder?

He's a cryptobro turned AI bro, he's being serious here, and he thinks this is an improvement.

@arielmt @nixCraft wtf These 1245 is higher than the average salary in a lot of countries
@nixCraft SaaSpocalypse NOW
@nixCraft I believe this is called coping with cognitive dissonance.
@nixCraft
sass is dead
water is fuel
hell is full
@jackie @nixCraft I see what you did there 💯
@nixCraft It is a sad state of the world when I can't say whether this is meant seriously or sarcastically...

@ics

probably both

@nixCraft

@thehole @ics @nixCraft so its some kind of wizardy Quantum mechanics ?

@tomtrottel @thehole @ics @nixCraft

Quantum means "Add another zero". (Pratchett, Pyramids). 😁

@nixCraft At the same time he probably also improved his infrastructure's CVSS score from a mere 5.4 to a perfect 10.0

@nixCraft
Everytime we invent something there are a group of people who get left behind to continue to do things the way we used too... if you look at LLMs and think its a joke you are a fool.

Do you think these tools are gonna get worse over time or better? Learn it now or other people will and you'll be left with all your morals and no work.

AI slop comes from sloppy people. If your AI work is sloppy its your own laziness. Don't blame the machine.

@TheTearMiser
oooh, "learn" a natural language interface that shifts every week in its output, input, and flow.

And demonstrably causes cognitive decline.

Now *that* is truly time well spent. Truly an investment that surely will pay handsome dividends.

Verily we live in the Century of the Shrimp!

I'm no longer paying for what I can make for free. I'm not alone. Long term we will win and you will lose this war just like the great systemd fiasco and all the ones before that. There is a balance between the ground and that tall ass fucking horse your tryna stand on. Its a pertty nice place to sit

@nixCraft

@TheTearMiser @nixCraft Yeah yeah, go sell your tokens somewhere else.

@doragasu
Funny how no one seems to be able to actually have an intellectual conversation about one of the largest inventions in mordern history without it falling to insults or nonsense like this.

I'm not selling for anyone. I don't suggest any corporate AI you have to pay for. You can run AI Local FOSS and for the cost of the equiptment. You can tool it to trust anything YOU want it to trust.

But no reject the new thing. That always has worked out well historically... right?
@nixCraft

@TheTearMiser @doragasu @nixCraft Maybe it should have worked out, we sure are in a polycrisis including a climate catastrophe and pandemic because of the "inevitable progress of modern history". The issue is that you're taking a standpoint of inevitability without moral concern, when this is a moral discussion to most of the people at the other side. And all you're doing by being glib with "But no reject the new thing" is refusing to engage with valid criticism and pretending it doesn't exist instead, you're refusing to engage here not us.

@GLaDTheresCake @doragasu @nixCraft

A real response I love it. Ok...

In what way is it actually even a moral decision? Maybe if I could be helped to understand where your morals even are then I could see your side.

I don't see the connection between a new type of typewriter and the state of world being caused by mega-corporations or how the pandemic that was fuelled by political motivations

@nixCraft unbelievable he’s selling that as an advantage
@blogdiva @nixCraft
Thought there's no way it's not satire.
Read his twitter.
He's actually serious.
wtf 🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭

@Orca @nixCraft @blogdiva

I can only read this as the writings of a man who has far, far too much sunk-cost fallacy going on.

@nixCraft To paying more per month than my total paycheck at some past jobs?

OP's wording was weird af and I misread that figure as their per-week cost.

@nixCraft oh I'll happily take left behind as I sit here with my Workbench 3.1 floppies and Red Hat Linux 5.2 ;)
@nixCraft not sure who this is but that could be very good satire?
@stonykark @nixCraft I mean it’s very obviously a joke
@nixCraft Just another salesman. Adapt or be left behind is the new way to say Buy my product or something bad might happen to yous

@nixCraft

control-h, control-i, search for Emacs Lisp Intro

Currently at $0/month on tools and API costs, and 5 hours a month customizing my ~/.emacs.d/init.el.

@alienghic @nixCraft awk, 9front, The AWK Programming Language PDF at archive.org, less than $1/month on power for my netbook.
@nixCraft hey we're mammals, we adapted to at least one extinction-level-event before, why not another?
@nixCraft genuinely can’t tell if this guy is joking or not
@nixCraft I'm going to choose to believe this guy is joking.
@nixCraft Pay lots and break things.
@nixCraft Just wait for the security audit 🤡
@nixCraft he’s joking. Look up what he does.
@nixCraft @cadey 15k a year? christ you could actually hire someone at that rate
like, not someone experienced for full time, but literally hire a guy all the same
@nixCraft
And now that vibe coding is a thing, anyone can just write their own apps instantaneously with the click of a button. No need for expensive SaaS. Hell, I saw a vibe coding AI being advertised on YouTube that will make a carbon copy of any app you tell it to replicate. These tech companies thought they were being clever by making their employees obsolete with AI, but they were also making themselves obsolete in the process.
@nixCraft I'd rather be left behind if being left behind means saving ~$800/month.
@nixCraft That has to be sarcasm or similar humor, right?
