Which references another interesting article on the topic from Adam Tornhill
Skills rot at machine speed: AI is changing how developers learn and think
In reply, someone shared this interesting article:
Cog Debt Article: From Tech Debt to Cognitive and Intent Debt

Comprehension Debt in the context of AI
notes from Denali Lumma via the DORA community
That was a bit of my worry, that people no longer make the effort to understand and internalise. There have been more posts about that: there is an upcoming reasoning deficit.
We have seen this with Stackoverflow to some extent (nothing bad about SO, great tool, it has been very helpful). Now it risks being exacerbated.

An article was shared on one of my clients’ Slack about AI and testing: how about approaching testing when AI is changing the code all the time, kind of.
The people are enthusiastic about the article coz it kind of confirms their not-so-performant testing strategy.
I violently disagree with the article because it confirms bad habits.
So, want to write an article about it, but referencing the article feels like shaming the author. How to avoid that? How should I move forward?

“Anthropic has taken an extremely aggressive posture on copyright's "limitations and exceptions," arguing that it can train its models on any information it can find, and knowingly download massive troves of works for that purpose. It's darkly hilarious to see the company firehosing copyright complaints by the thousands to prevent the dissemination, dissection and discussion of the source-code that leaked due to the company's gross incompetence” @pluralistic

"what's objectionable about Anthropic – and the AI sector – isn't copyright. The thing that makes these companies disgusting is their gleeful, fraudulent trumpeting about how their products will destroy the livelihoods of every kind of worker [...] And it's their economic fraud, the inflation of a bubble that will destroy the economy when it bursts [...] It's their enthusiastic deployment of AI tools for mass surveillance and mass killing" - @pluralistic

You gotta read this whole thread. Don’t drink coffee at the same time.
