Because I’m seeing more and more each day people once considered experts now on the same level as an untrained person who knows how to type. And I’m really hoping LLMs reach a tipping point because otherwise, you’re just adding another nauseating element to the rat race.

I’m no stranger to the “adapt or get left behind” comments, and it’s very funny when people tell me this but can no longer tell me how a for loop works or what constitutes an outer join.

lol hate to say it but this shithole needs to humbled by an act of war that brings down the power grid, capitalist realism is quickly turning into economic and technological realism (if it hasn’t already).

    but the moment things get FUBAR’d and ChatGPT can’t spit out a solution, or the solution is so convoluted

    Unfortunately it seems that they keep adding tokens/burning down the environment to ensure that this is never the case. It’s starting to feel like the only option is to adapt because anything else is futile

    Also would like to say that this frustration is extremely symptomatic of the fantastical pursuit of endless growth and it’s becoming quite hard to turn this part of my brain off as it just keeps smacking me in the face every damn day

      Just layering spaghetti code on top of spaghetti code, hoping nothing ever goes truly wrong because no one is going to be able to figure out how it’s all connected?
