Yeah I don’t have the mental energy to decrypt your messages, you’re just saying a bunch on nonsense and I’m not really wanting to spend so long trying to see what a slopbro is trying to say.

Have a nice day

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

For a book, there are per-unit costs of the materials, ink, paper, manufacturing, etc.

For an ebook, these are void. So the cost should be, at the very least, much lower than a physical book. Even if you take into account the effort of writing the book and such, it’s an initial cost, so it doesn’t justify a high price.

The point being, physical items have costs related to their physicality, digital items don’t, so they shouldn’t cost as much. It’s pretty straightforward.

And to loop back to my initial comment: that’s why it’s absurd to compare AIs, which are just bullshit for lazy sloppy people, and manufacturing processes, which come from the need to reduce the manufacturing costs of physical items. There is no manufacturing cost of software, so there is no need to mass-produce as fast as possible, and so there is just no reason to let devs throw up slop garbage to go “faster”

Also, on a side note: programming with AIs don’t make you code faster, it just increases the amount of bugs and problems with your code. Obviously, since you’re just using a nonsense generator to try to produce a complex piece of digital machinery.

What? How do you even reach such a conclusion?

It’s not a tool, it’s a chaos generator.

Don’t let people who build houses do it with cardboard boxes instead of bricks, even if it looks like a house in the end.

They cost nothing to duplicate, yes, which is why you wouldn’t pay as much as a physical book for it.

What’s your point?

What about them?

Comparing software that can be copied for free, with physical items, is stupid.

“Just like books cost more ink with a big font, webpages cost more data with a big font”

Nope, that doesn’t work, it’s absurd. Which is not surprising from a stupid article trying to argue that slop software is the future.

For me it was always obvious.

I mean, Janeway was thrown into a hostile environment with basically nothing, and sometimes picked the less moral choices, to make her crew survive.

Sisko decided to ruin the lives of basically a whole planet, just because he was to arrogant to admit that he got defeated.

I think there’s a matter of context, and Sisko has no way to justify his behaviour other than “I see myself as god so I can do whatever I want”

I mean… Crimes of war Sisko?

I mean, if you have a royal family, you’re asking for this shit

I mean, when you see most programmers, you want to believe it :)

The question is more “considering the state of the world and the reality of computer programming job, should I consider becoming programmer” and the answer is no.

Unless it becomes very illegal to make hostile bots (which will never happen), the internet will be something only accessible through IDs and biometrics.

Hell, if you will.

1. Ask what was the purpose of the code
2. Delete all the slop crap
3. Make the code from scratch

“It’s quite good” “you cannot trust it”

What is your definition of good?

What a recipe for disaster…

And if the burgers are made by people who just grab random items to try to make it look like a burger, whether or not it is edible, no one would.

AI code is unreliable, unsafe, and worst of all, has no basis of even basic intelligence. I’d trust more code produced by a monkey than by an AI. Trusting AI code is like trusting a very realistic drawing of a tunnel and running into it while knowing that it’s a drawing, because “it looks like a real tunnel so it must work like one”. AI code is not code, it’s keywords scrambled together to look like code.

*most of the internet

Code is not something that you consume, it is something that you build.

You want a house made of cardboard because it’s affordable? Sure, just don’t start pretending like it’s an actual house, and don’t try to rent, sell, or lend it to anyone.

More like a search engine on LSD.

AI results are always shit when trying to find anything not completely obvious. You end up more often than not with an hallucinated reality that has absolutely no value.

“The cult of understandable things”

Yeah ok bro, sure.

Who doesn’t like a gigantic shitty code that “just works” after all?
