The people who built this technology needed to use hundreds of millions of images without permission. They regularly speak explicitly about all the jobs they plan to destroy. If you think I'm being hyperbolic then you don't unders

Training an AI on something requires you to produce a copy of the work that is held locally for the training algorithm to read. Whether that is fair use has not been determined. It's certainly not ethical.

You need to copy the work to use it for AI training.

Nearly every artist I've spoken to or have seen talk about this technology says it's evil, so at least among the victims of this corporate abuse of the creative community, there's wide consensus that it's bad. > but

Most of the professionals in this industry actively despise this technology.

If you use this technology, you're actively harming creative labor.

You've hit the nail on the head imo. The reason business leadership is stoked about this stuff is because they don't actually know anything about how their product gets built.

I stopped using AI completely but it also feels like 80% of startups now are building AI focused products. It's a huge red flag for me now that the company is just riding a trend instead of building a well thought out product. Maybe th

Was talking to my buddy who works there and they have a section in the performance review for how eagerly you're using AI. It honestly sounds like that organization is run by cargo cult clowns though.

Because it's built off the labor of actual writers, which it displaced. The people who actually read books also hate this shit.

That or we're completely ignoring principles like DRY and producing a head spinning amount of tech debt. I can't really imagine producing that much code in that short amount of time and holding any amount of it in my head. I'

I am horrified that you've produced that much code in such a short amount of time.

We had a 5 inch screen that snapped onto the back of the GameCube.

The knowledge I got in school is definitely a lot more durable than the experience. Basic knowledge is still what everything is built on.

Also there's no context or docs to dig into, it just spits something out that looks right but might be relying on deprecated code or completely wrong. Ask it to explain something? At least it's confident I guess.

The screens had to get bigger to accommodate the unification of all platforms. It's great for game devs that you can ship something and port it to every platform with almost no effort.

Watching people in the tech industry make proclamations like this is like watching a Crack dealer tell teachers how to do their jobs.

I think this is an astute observation. It feels like everyone except the people with the money have realized this stuff is garbage.

Bizarre way to describe capital deepening. Jeff's programming skills probably got a lot more relevant because of things like the proliferation of internet access and utility computing. Seems like a pretty simple statement to me but may

GraphQL is such an exciting addition to the front end stack. Imagine, an entire new system you need to learn that cargo cult proponents love and also sucks ass to use.
