so no

there’s your answer and I suspect you understand this as we’ve struggled to arrive here

if you want people to do non passion projects you need to pay them for those parts specifically

as much as I love patreon as a concept (not the company it is shit) the work agreement I always seen is rather open

are they paid?

yes or no

are those paid positions?

seems pretty simple to me

imagine instead of ai it was your compiler

we all know they can have weird quirks but imagine the fail rates were like we are experiencing with current ai

would people keep these tools in their work flow?

if big business wasn’t so hard on to cut labor the answer would be a hard no

except using your metaphor, everyone using the hammer has the same problems

there have been multiple big fuck ups now

everyone using ai says some variation of this

acting like they do proper code review on this ai gen code but we’ve had so many examples of how people well before ai carried massive tech debt and cut corners so I have zero faith

much less the numerous examples of slop laden bugs making it to live with major companies in the us

ai just amplifies and obfuscates the problem 

 

we knew the microslop update to win 11 was going to be shite

it got offshored a decade ago though

he was better of quitting and getting a new job the moment the update failed

now think about top secret clearances

and how many of the trump team that were allowed to not have them
