@lcamtuf I saw a guy with a "Never :q!" t-shirt at the climbing gym a few days back. I was so impressed!
@avuko @mttaggart And actually, I think there are a few more hardware people when one might think. Gamers might join in here too without any hangups about surveillance, programmers have been reluctant to move to cloud hosted IDEs, Apple still hasn't completely closed off the ability to install third party apps on MacOS, and if they did probably they would loose most developers as users. I think there is significant resistance and not just from a few. But true the majority doesn't care.
@avuko @mttaggart I certainly agree with that. You would hope that people want freedom, but they really just want convenience. But at some point, the enshittification gets so bad it gets in the way of convenience. That's when you get things like Pirate Bay being the biggest thing for years. I'm holding out hope that those few marginalized people can keep the business of general purpose personal computers alive until we reach the point where the masses realize what they've been missing.
@mttaggart It's a golden opportunity for them to win the war on general purpose computing. On a positive note, the whole notion feels very radicalizing, so we might see a lot of computer nerds rebel. "I'll give you my Linux laptop/Gaming PC when you pry it from my cold, dead hands".
@datarama @vkc @alys I doubt software development skills will become useless. But simply reviewing AI code does not sound like a fun job. But yeah, all it means is we will have jobs that are just as boring as factory work might be to a craftsman.
I used to be a lot more skeptical of the capabilities, but I still don't know that it's close to being able to make sound long term decisions or debug worth a damn too.
@datarama @vkc @alys @[email protected] think I know what you mean. I really want using AI to be a worse way of doing the work, but I fear that's "cope" and using it to some degree is now part of being professional if your employer allows it or even requires it. I think it may be less demotivating to just give in. But to keep learning by insisting on still doing things by heart some part of the time. There I feel I'm not coping and that last part will be a true benefit in the long term.
@starlight Mora Träsk. Guess they translated it?
