AI is one of those early-2000s SUVs that gets 8 miles to the gallon and has a TV screen in the back of every seat.
It's about presenting externally as a "bad ass" while:
A) Constantly drowning out every moment of your life with low quality background noise.
B) Aggressively polluting the environment and depleting our natural resources for no reason beyond pure arrogance.
- co_king_3 8mo agoI feel that the popularization of bloated UI "frameworks", like React and Electron, coupled with the inefficiency tolerated in the "JS ecosystem" have been precursors to this dynamic. It seems perfectly fitting to me that Anthropic is using a wildly overcomplicated React renderer in their TUI. React devs are the perfect use case for "AI" dev tools. It is perfectly tolerated for them to write highly inefficient code, and these frameworks are both: A) Arcane and inconsistently documented B) Heavily overrepresented in open-source Meaning there are meaningful gains to be had from querying these "AI" tools for framework development. In my opinion, the shared problem is the acceptance of egregious inefficiency.
