I'm so glad im not starting out in programming / webdev now.

Feels like im being slowly coaxed into using some ai or another from fucking every angle.

It seems to be all about "be as productive as possible as it will make you a more valuable resource for your comapny".

Like, fuck how it affects you to outsource creativity to a machine and just being a glorified child minder.

Its fucking depressing and is just a glaring result of capitalism squeezing everything it can at the expense of us.

The notion of a broken clock being sometimes right is based on a gross misunderstanding of what information is.

A clock that always shows the same time is never right, even in the moments of the day when the time happens to be what it shows, because you don't gain any information about what time it is by looking at the clock.

This reasoning also applies to chatbots. If you can't tell whether what you have been given is useful information unless you alreay know the information, then you haven't been given useful information.

When I started in security, one of the prevailing attitudes was "The weakest link in the chain will always be the human."

I would like to thank every LLM provider and startup for changing this paradigm by introducing a much weaker link in the chain.
