@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Nah but that means you have to think. Nowadays you just throw wild ideas out and see what sticks, maybe the machine will "think" for you even. Bleh.
I can't wait for either the bubble to burst or the machine taking over. This inbetween is such a sad pathetic state.

@seufz@troet.cafe @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Yup, I'm a bit removed from all of this crazyness (by choice), I recently stumbled upon some "pro AI" communities and indeed they see "us" (wtf there is no us/them but okay) as technophobes trying to shut down everything out of fear. The world is wild.

... of domain knowledge. Because guess what? It will affect us, we will have to spend time reviewing this shit, we will have to fix it when it breaks. So yeah the shortcut cheat to mass producing code is pissing us off big times.
That's gatekeeping?

@hyeyoo@social.kernel.org I wish I felt the excitement. I mostly feel disgust at the tech, and I do worry even though I don't think it'll succeed because the tech is great (it'll succeed because money).
And given all the excitement around I have to also question my sanity :)

@david_chisnall Ah I remember being a student, going all in on metaprogramming, taking a step back and learning haskell just to be better at it. Coming back to TPMP sucked hard haha.
Good ol' days.
I tried. I really tried, I don't understand how can anyone take any joy or pride in writing plain English and then acting as a reviewer. It's pitiful, it's a miserable experience.
(also the constant back and forth and hand holding is just too much hassle)

@hyeyoo@social.kernel.org The thing is while I've been thinking rationally about this, I've a feeling a large part of our peers haven't. My take is that the tech is "good enough" (see latest claude etc), that people will keep hyping it just enough that it will justify printing more money for it.
In the long run will we see the harsh reality of this (hard to fix bugs etc)? Sure! Will it be too late ? Pretty sure that's also a yes.
Anyway sorry my reasoning is a bit all over the place, it's just confusing times
