IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

This is why I’m angry. They don’t act like this is the danger it is

Perfect illustration of how the "podcasters are turning on Trump" narrative is bullshit. These guys still want the camps to churn out black smoke, they just don't want to see video of how the bodies get there.

Haitian man dies in US immigration custody with untreated toothache, brother says A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months after the denial of his asylum application has died in the hospital

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.

He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.

Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

generative AI is a deeply irresponsible creation that will cause untold harm to the human soul

In a time of war, watching a US Senator break the arm of a US Marine should tell us something about the moral compass of our nation.

hearing someone say they regularly talk to ai chatbots for anything does feel like they just rolled up their sleeve to reveal a festering zombie bite

Slop is cheap and you can make a lot of it really fast. If your company wants to make cheap slop quickly, AI is perfect for the job.

If you want to make something good or high quality... Well...

Building things yourself teaches you how to use them most effectively.

Using tools that do much of the work for you lets you produce generic things faster.

Generic doesn't cut it in this world.

I'm reminded of another thing, the fact that everything made with Unreal lately feels exactly the same and has horrible performance bugs.

I feel like this is a similar problem. AI and Unreal encourage you to create without understanding. "Let someone else solve the problems for me." kinda thing.

Exactly. Your ability to produce lots of slop is not a marker of quality or if you're creating the right things.

I also have failed to see literally any slop coding produce anything that advances the state of the art or does something new.

Security, good UX, and thinking expansively about projects is often more valuable. But with AI coding, you're so busy doing *stuff* that you're not stopping to ask if it's the *right* stuff.

This is why it's slop. It's really good at generating lots of stuff without regard for its quality.

I'm starting to realize something about AI coding after seeing someone else posting about it here.

The problem with vibe coding is that it lets you do a LOT of programming very quickly.

But a lot of the time, doing lots of programming very quickly isn't what you need to do.

I asked my boss this same question after he was saying similar things and he told me β€œwe have bots reviewing things for security”

I’m seeing the attitude the OP is referring to everywhere in coding these days.

I think it’s the result of people being impressed by what these text generators can do coupled with a lack of understanding of their drawbacks.

They’re picking it up too fast imo.

Switch from The Matrix says "Not like this."

Switch from The Matrix says "Not like this."

*Just in the LAST WEEK*:
- Prisons are experimenting on trans prisoners to "cure" them
- Kansas revoked every trans Kansan's driver's license
- Scouts agreed to ban trans kids
- Texas declared all health services stop helping trans kids
- SCOTUS declared it legal to out trans kids to abusive parents

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

You don't need to use AI to make coding go faster as a solo developer. We've been doing this thing the whole time called using an IDE, Stack Exchange, copying code snippets and using search engines.
There's no excuses for supporting destructive fascist tools.

I wonder if this is what people are experiencing when they talk about their hatred for the snow or something like that.

For me, it is the time keeper of the universe, and without it, I felt adrift in reality.
