みやくモード@juglugs @nixCraft put another way, i’ve been coding in both hobbyist and professional contexts almost my whole life. professional programmers are being pushed out of work by these tools and their increasing corporate adoption. if the only way to not use these tools is in hobbyist contexts and small projects, we're headed to an extremely bad place. what these tools produce is not a replacement for human programmers and crucially, as people have been saying the entire time, has no development path that actually ends with it being able to produce human-quality code without human oversight, because the tools are fundamentally unintelligent
perhaps a more appropriate analogy for how software is embedded in our world is bridge-building. say we have a fully-automated bridge-builder bot that requires zero human oversight or labor, but fundamentally the bridges are gonna randomly collapse at a much higher rate than the human-built bridges. that's fine, because now we can make it up in scale! and the people who really liked building bridges can still do it as a hobby! i think i would probably start planning my routes to avoid bridges more often, especially if i was once a professional bridge-builder

I always bring up auto-captioning as a (non-LLM) technology that is probably a net-win for accessibility, but that still led to Youtube ending up with *WORSE* closed captioning, because as soon as they got machine transcription, they dropped community transcription options.
Machine transcription on Youtube led to a local maximum where community options that often resulted in better transcriptions are now unavailable and everything is kind of meh.
JJ CeleryI saw LLMs compared to a drug in this toot, but in conversation with Himself today we concluded it's like a cursed amulet.
You *believe* it gives you +10 INT. Meanwhile it drains INT and WIS over time, and you don't notice.
Everyone around you knows it's bad for you and generally for the realm, but you won't stop wearing it, they're just jelous of your newfound powers, and they would know how awesome it is if they only tried! Why won't they try? Just try the amulet!!

DgarIf I might weigh in here with some personal experience as an indie artist. I’ll refer to my streaming stats for March 2025 which totalled a bit over four dollars in streaming earnings.
Amazon Music: 6 streams, $0.00
Spotify: 84 streams, $0.00
Tidal: 2 streams, $0.01
Pandora Plus: 3 streams, <$0.01
Deezer: 1 stream, <$0.01
Facebook/Instagram: 21 streams, <$0.01
YouTube: 87 streams, ~$0.21
Apple Music: 27 streams, ~$0.15
Soundcloud: 23 streams, ~$3.78
If you are paying a Soundcloud subscription, a portion of that will go directly towards the specific artists you’re streaming.
I haven’t mentioned Bandcamp as I think of it as a music shop rather than a subscription streaming service, but straight up purchasing music there is a really great way to support your chosen artists.
Kit Bashir“Here’s the problem, the position sensor cable has been ripped right off the circuit substrate. Your arm isn’t rated for combat against hydraulic lifter bots. Especially ones infected with murderware.”
〰︎Yes, well I took a brief survey of my other components and none of them particularly wanted to be murdered today, so I chose violence. Can you fix it?〰︎
“Sure I’ve got a fusing maser pencil in my pack, comes in real handy. You might want to turn down your pain sensors though”
〰︎No time; our murderware liftbot friends will make short work of that barricade, why can’t it ever be murderware infected window washers. Get started!〰︎

No BoilerplateI've never felt more like the universe is a simulation that caters to just my interests, than when reading this article.
