Think of the power consumption needed to power holodecks 24/7 so nerds can fuck wood elves or whatever their kink is.

Javascript is a dogshit language that everyone is stuck with. The best that we can hope for is the likes of typescript take the edge off of it. Even though it’s like smearing marzipan over a turd. At least it’s ok if you don’t take a deep bite.

Of course Chinese automakers threaten the US industry. Much like Japanese automakers did in the 70s and 80s. And there is a simple reason for that - Chinese cars makers are selling decent quality vehicles for less money than US (& European) automakers. And they’re spearheading electric vehicles while the likes of Ford is actually cutting back on EV commitments.

AI is certainly a very handy tool and has helped me out a lot but anybody who thinks “vibe programming” (i.e. programming from ignorance) is a good idea or will save money is woefully misinformed. Hire good programmers, let them use AI if they like, but trust the programmer’s judgement over some AI.

That’s because you NEED that experience to notice the AI is outputting garbage. Otherwise it looks superficially okay but the code is terrible, or fragile, or not even doing what you asked it properly. e.g. if I asked Gemini to generate a web server with Jetty it might output something correct or an unholy mess of Jetty 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 with annotations and/or programmatic styles, or the correct / incorrect pom dependencies.
