Lex Fridman, The Primeagen and friends are also to blame

And is being promoted by other fascists - Lex Fridman - and youtube sloppers like Primeagen. All channels highly consumed by non-techs or techs that follow the hype

Then you clearly have no idea what a false equivalence is

It’s not allnnonsense. LLMs are being used to “solve” small problems but pollute way more than normal datacenters, way more than you using your personal computer etc. You seem heavilly invested in denying any bad thing from LLMs …

What does that even mean?

That’s a false equivalence. And besides they polute on massivelly different scales

It’s not, they have different potential consequences

Good, someone with morals

Something I noticed for the past year are topics following the format: “Now that AI has replaced X skill … and Y … what is your opinion”. Or “I’ve been doing all my programming with AI and it works perfectly, and is stressing me out. What is your opinion”

I did some digging and almost all those accounts are from a certain country or two famous for hosting clickfarms some years ago. So… I guess AI companies are following the same strategy

I think you entirelly missed the point then

Even Linus is conflating “doing more” with “being more productive”. A car factory could, if they wanted, pump 10x more cars out the door. But qualiry would decrease these would be full of defects, so in the end you weren’t more productive

I don’t care if there’s more PRs. It’s just and illusion of productivity

My previous work enforced the use of AI for everything besides wipping your own butt. I was a senior dev and adamantly refused to use it for ethical reasons.

Not once have I touched it, not once I felt I needed it. I said as much whenever I had meetings with eng. managers and I could provably argue that I was doing very fine without it, I was in fact as much or more productive than my AI addled colleagues and furthermore I found many severe bugs in their PRs. I saw the code quality and stability of my project take a deep plunge because of Claude. They said it was company policy to use… but because it was not on my contract and I was not falling behind on any of my responsibilities I answered I would rather be fired than to use AI. I never was. I kept at this for a year, and finally changed to somewhere where my judgement on when and where to use these things is more important than KPIs.

It’s not that I didn’t see a use case for AI - I saw very minor use cases for dashboards and quick insight into logs - but as much as I can I don’t allow managers and KPIs to have this much control over how I work and which tools I use.

Yes and hopefullybreduce pollution and noise levels around airports
