Like, you don't need LLMs, the things that work, work well, and that have worked well for decades are all there, being called by the chatbots... you can just actually use those without 500k lines of spaghetti code and markdown files tricking you into thinking that the JSON parser is alive and has feelings.

"i use ai to help me think" is such a weird concept to me because sometimes i use plain text documents to do that and if the text document started talking back to me i'd go to war with the computer

This is also a safeguarding issue.

As I found out yesterday, one of the things locked down in 26.4 is that Content and Privacy Restrictions is locked on. You need to pass age verification to change it. Until I can prove I'm over 18, all of these features like location sharing are enabled and I can't disable them. For me, it's an annoying inconvenience.

For someone vulnerable in an abusive domestic situation - this could be considerably more serious. (5/7)

Some regrettable personal news:

As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I'm still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y'all have.

(I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare)

Every time I recollect my thoughts.

them: as a senior engineer, i expect you to discuss tradeoffs in your technical solutions

me: cool, let’s talk about the externalities of LLMs

them: wait not like that

It feels like developers are currently split into two groups that do not really understand what the other group is talking about:
One group tries to reduce their dependency on Big Tech by switching to alternative search engines, code forges, map providers, operating systems…
And the other group is trying to increase their dependency on Big Tech by adopting agentic and/or vibe coding.

A surge in new datacenters, each with the power demand of 100,000 households and a cooling water demand of 1,000,000 m³ per year to train AI models on material obtained without consent on hardware now unaffordable to consumers so fascism-adjacent tech billionaires can sell us the idea that any skill is now worthless and in doing so creating the largest economic bubble ever while simultaneously destroying society and environment.

I think that about sums it up.
