A developer ecosystem optimized for LLM usage is as bad as a city optimized for cars.
@dreid
Which means North Americans will LOVE it!
@dreid oh god I had not thought about that comparison before, but that's spot-on. worse for everyone and the extra deaths just get priced in.
@dreid Mic dropped from orbit, mate. Spot on
@dreid honest question - i very much enjoy _some_ use of AI assistants in coding. controlled use makes live much easier. however, i agree with the statement about ecosystems as a whole, and in many other areas AI is - at best - extremely annoying. still, complete rejection doesn't seem to me to be a viable option - how do you think about this? and do you see a way to reconcile the dichotomy of usefulness and destructiveness?
@rm Complete rejection is a much more viable option than it is with cars. We're much earlier in the adoption curve for this technology, and that's exactly why it's critical right now to say no. As for the dichotomy between usefulness and destructiveness, we only have one Earth. When the resource usage of something destroys Earth's livability forever, how can we speak of that thing being "useful"? It won't be useful long. @dreid
@dreid Lies! Cars perform as advertised! :p

@dreid UX? That's so 5 years ago.

DX? That's so last year.

AX...

You mean I have to *care* about the experience the LLMs are having?
