@nprofile1q... The computer always does exactly what you told it to do.

The gap between what you thought you said and what you actually said is why programming is a profession and vibe coding is not. LLMs still follow this rule, they just don't allow you to communicate as precisely as code.

It didn't go rogue, you just didn't know that's what you told it to do.

All the empty liberal shells are running the same script. Besides making himself insanely rich this fucking cunt has never achieved anything to better the life of the many because there's always a 'bu...

@nprofile1q... What *exactly* has gone too far?

The Right attacked the capital, threatened Congress and murdered police. The Right is currently protecting Epstein's cabal by withholding lawfully ordered information. The Right has dozens of child predators, rapists, adulterers and assorted criminals in their midst.

The Left asked you to treat us all fairly and do the work you were elected to do.

And it's the Left that's gone too far somehow?

@nprofile1q... A close friend has very strong opinions about how door to door evangelicalism is *actually* designed to make the people going door to door feel ostracized instead of "spreading the word".

Most of us have no real quarrel with Jesus but know the churches are a mess. Those kids bear the brunt of it and go back falsely informed that the church is the only place that will have them.

Somehow they always blame the human, even though the facts of the case make it obvious that it was the freaking chatbot's plausible sounding garbage that was completely wrong. What fucking IS that?

@nprofile1q... Same in every industry now, the bot gets credit, the human gets blame, regardless of whether the human or bot contributions were helpful.

"Project A succeeded because AI is magic! Project B failed because those filthy humans got their hands all over it!"

In truth they were both vibe coded, but one got luckier than the other.

My feeling is that chatbots & AI "search" invite you to interact as a novice, asking broad questions & receiving comfortable, generalized answers. If you are an expert on a topic, what you will quick...

@nprofile1q... At work where it's required for programmers, this is essentially the advice I give.

If you ask for the answer, it's free to make shit up. If you tell it the answer, then tell it to write code accordingly, you're in a better position.

It's a shit deal but *not* getting fired before this blows over is unfortunately a high priority.

Just in case anybody was wondering or still deciding - Yes, they will still kill us even if we don't fight back.

The choices are to put up a fight or don't. You can't opt out of being attacked.

The "bicycle for the mind" is just an expensive Uber or Waymo now.

There's no more human potential increases coming from tech. It's ruined.

"You can feed 4 people on $300 a month. In this video, I will show you how to make a thin rice gruel..." (The first sentence is really from a real person. The second is what I assume came next)

@nprofile1q... "...if you can afford to be a full time coupon hunter and sales shopper."

It's never "in 15 minutes a day, you can make this work comfortably", it's always "add another full time job to your roster to make existence almost tolerable".

They hate the poor and especially the fact that the poor aren't suffering enough.
