I feel we've reached a point where many if not most of the organizations we rely on are being overrun by toddlers.

We're constantly bring sold the belief that a chatbot is a viable substitute for thinking, skill, and hard work, of expertise and competence.

I've had conversations with people about AI agents and coding, how people want to have made something they've imagined without having to do the work of actually learning, designing and building. It's like a toddler demanding to be allowed to drive the fire truck without knowing how to drive, not being able to reach the pedals, and not knowing anything about fighting fires.

The want to be what they imagine a firefighter is from the perspective of a toddler. They don't know, they don't care, they just want to be in that truck and make the lights and sirens go.

That outlook is fine for a toddler, it's not acceptable for a grown adult drawing a paycheck.

@changterhune oh no, not the AI slop
@pkirn this is on regular rotation here, along with Aubrey Hodges PlayStation DOOM and DOOM64 soundtracks

No-one could've predicted this. Absolutely no-one. This comes as a great, massive, honking, stark surprise to everybody. And I really do mean everybody.

@ebauche As they say "it's grim up north"
@ebauche I de-googled almost a decade ago, and that included ditching Android, so I can't speak for things that side!
@nSonic No, I don't mean that part. Anyway, I'm going to desist from conversing with you and I hope you have a day.
@caitp oh my god
