“Worlds Most Unexplained”
Experts: <here's a complete scientific explanation>
Narrator: “It remains inexplicable”
Head --> Desk
It's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.
How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.
But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.
Welllllll this isn't great.
Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website
"...a system that evaluates your company’s landing page in real time and, if it decides the page won’t perform well enough for a specific user, replaces it with an AI-generated version assembled on the fly. The user never sees what your team built, they see what Google's machine learning model thinks they should see instead."

There's a wee buzz in UFOlogy today because the US Gov has registered domains alien.gov and aliens.gov. Imminent Disclosure?
I did a simple registrar search, so they've been created by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Which in turn (another search) is part of Homeland Security.
So I'm guessing in this case it just means "aliens" as in "foreigners".
I need help with the server hosting all my open-source projects: #Fedilab, #HolosSocial, #HolosDiscover, and more.
The current server costs €350/year but is no longer suited for the load. I often run out of disk space. I need to migrate to a more powerful one with expandable storage. Renewal is due in a few days.
I have set a goal of €500 on Ko-fi, cost unknown.

Sharing this post helps keep my open-source projects alive.
Looks at spike in replies.
That'll teach me to have an afternoon nap.
In the #StarTrek universe WW3 starts in 2026.
World War III was the last of Earth's three world wars, lasting from approximately 2026 to 2053. The conflict involved nuclear cataclysm as well as genocide and eco-terrorism. The post-atomic horror in the aftermath persisted as late as 2079. The war was preceded by the Eugenics Wars and the Second Civil War, all of which were sometimes regarded as parts of a single escalating conflict. It resulted in the deaths of some 30% of the Human population, at least six hundred million people, and...
