Ignorance, fear, or are you just following the kid’s trend of anti-ai, pushback against corporate desperation?

It’s not realistic to expect no AI assistance in coding in 2026.

It’s also not a stand-in for a human. There’s a huge field of gray where it’s unclear how much of it was fully vibe coded vs how much is carefully hand reviewed and/or written.

I’ve been a professional developer for decades and I’ve done both. Obviously I’ve hand coded stuff for many years. The fully vibe coded stuff is personal, to test and learn the capabilities of the tech. My professional stuff I watch much more closely, and I’m much more targeted in what I’m having the AI do.

That said, if I were gonna use this I’d actually review the code. I’m not recommending this guy’s stuff, but you can’t rule it out on the basis of ai assistance alone.

They’re not problems that need to be solved. If we cut fossil fuel use by 90%, there’s hardly any impact on these uses.

Yeah, but it might take years for these slop companies to actually collapse under the weight of their own tech debt. Do you know how many quarters that is!

It’s a teen drama mostly aimed at teens, but with a sex scene.

Watch episode 6, skip the rest.

I thought they did pay those back.

Some of that likely came out of him being a shitbag in various ways where he lucked into the right circumstances for that attitude.

The world isn’t black and white. He should get some credit for Tesla. And he should get credit for the current ways he’s dismantling Tesla and the US.

He did help push it forward in a couple ways that I don’t think others would have.

One is that he just didn’t give a fuck about regulation or established procedures. Two is that he did have a focus on affordability. Three is that he demanded a lot out of his employees largely driven (for them) by being for the greater good.

A lot of his success has come from employees who were dedicated to the cause. It’s why both Tesla and SpaceX had done so well, while Twitter and Tesla robots will flounder

If he had just worn a less revealing dress…

Is that more or less important to you than defeating Nazis?

Disagree. Could be true with their half-ass efforts towards climate change but I think with enough Hillary Democrat control we’d basically go back to the 1990s, which right now looks like the peak of human civilization.

Personally I think we can do better. The gains in efficiency we’ve made since the 90s, and there have been a lot, should mostly be going to the people. I think we should be thinking big with projects like real mas transit and freight, reducing our reliance on semis, and more local, green energy independence. I think we can achieve a $25 (2025) , adjusted for inflation min wage WITH a 32 hour work week for everyone.

I’d like actual progress. I’ll settle for the 1990s and rule of law. Neither are close to the actual fascism of Republicans.

I’ll vote for the first in the primary, and whichever of the first two win in the general. Kind of how our democracy works currently. Yeah, ranked choice would be better but for right now I’ll settle for one more reasonably fair fptp election.

Called what? That you didn’t like their use of emojis?

What does that have to do with this? You didn’t call shit.

And I own one of those because fascism, not because of price. I assure you it was more expensive than a Tesla, before Trump and his tariffs.

Not everything has to be black and white. Tesla (and Elon) did some good in making EVs mainstream and common. Now Elon is openly a Nazi. Both can be true.

No. They’re failing because fascism.

They’re mostly fine cars, with a few Elon-caused exceptions. I’ll be sad to see EVs as a whole, which were poised to replace ICE cars, fall back out of popularity while we go back to burning oil.

Maybe this admin will act recklessly one week and decide we need to bring in BYD. It could be worth it to cede all manufacturing capability in the West in order to get rid of burning oil.

I was looking forward to parking garages not smelling like exhaust.

For some reason US manufacturers can’t make a $35k EV.

We haven’t, really. Our “complete neutrality” is infested with troll farms, where people are employed to make hundreds of accounts to spread propaganda.

I’m thinking the answer is to implement a huge barrier for troll farms, but a small speed bump for real people.

It could be oauth with Steam or your cell provider, where you can make an account if you’ve spent over $250 with them. Actual credit history would work. You can combine these and allow any of them, which might let one person make 3-4 accounts, maybe, but that’s still limited enough to make things difficult for troll farms.

There is an issue where billionaires that want to influence us have absolutely absurd resources, and maybe paying $1000 per account isn’t enough of a barrier for them. But at least it gives us a chance for the bans to stick significantly more than they do now.

People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

http://mud.arctic.org/ this one is still around.

But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.

He shouldn’t say anything more than “I have a feeling everyone here will be inclined to follow the law.” and “It’s my 2nd amendment right to carry this firearm.”
