If we can't spend that much time reviewing code, what are we exactly doing with this AI stuff? I don't disagree, I think reviewing is laborious, I just don't see how this causes any unintended consequences that aren't ef

I'm sorry what? Junior engineers can't learn anything without using AI assistants (or is the implication that having seniors review their code makes them incapable of learning?) and senior engineer would hate their jobs reviewing

As any president should in that scenario? I'm sorry, we're going to nuke professional class workers and let tech executives keep their 2026 money from the proceeds and let the losers go jobless? Not likely if you don't want a

How do you plan an exit strategy for something that may or may not obsolete a whole field in a matter of months? Not sure there's a real way to do such a thing.

Both abundance and scarcity can be bad. If you can't imagine a world where abundance of software is a very bad thing, I'd suggest you have a limited imagination?

I can't believe the mods at /r/screenprinting took down my post on the CustomInk shirt I ordered.

At a minimum, every single who has been slandered, bullied, blackmailed, tricked, has suffered psychological damage, etc. as a result of a bot or chat interface should be entitled to damages from the company authoring the model. These shoul

I don't care about the "positive" uses. Whatever convenience they grant is more than tarnished by skill and thought degeneration, lack of control and agency, etc. We've spent two decades learning about all the negative c

There's absolutely no way to contain people who want to use this for misdeeds. They are just getting starting now and will make the web utter fucking hell if they are allowed to continue.

My perspective is all AI needs to have way more legal controls around use and accountability, so I’m not particularly sympathetic to “rapidly growing new public ill is unsafe, but there’s no safer option”

This is like "I like lighting off fireworks at the gas station because its fun, do you have a "safe" alternative?".

ITT are dozens of techno libertarian dolts making the same arguments they’ve made for the past two decades about why social media isn’t harmful. See it’s the people, doing things they’ve always done, not the technology that supercharges tho

Yeah you’re right, the engagement factories probably don’t care about code quality. The customer isn’t the customer after all.

Love passing off the externalities of security to the user, and then the second order externalities of an LLM that then blackmails people in the wild. Love how we just don’t care anymore.

Congrats, guy who shows up to every post about Nick Land. Fuck your fascist hero.

It literally says "not just from AI", so AI is included in that risk assessment.

This shit is sickening. I'm nauseated by this generation of wannabe entrepreneurs who have decided to disable their amygdala and conscience.

I'm legitimately terrified by these people, and seriously worried now that this is not just hype and that they truly don't care about what will happen. And that they may use these models to insulate themselves from the consequence

Is no one disturbed by this? At the rate this seems to be happening its going to cause massive disruptions to society and endanger a lot of people.

I'm not just concerned about control by one company, I'm concerned by control for the profit motive, and probably concerned about the wisdom of using these things for anything except extremely limited use cases (breakthrough scien

In the past couple days I've become less skeptical of the capabilities of LLMs and now more alarmed by them, contra the author. I think if we as a society continue to accept the development of LLMs and the control of them by the major

Interesting disconnect from AI people saying AI is inevitable, but if we’re involved we can mitigate the harshest negative outcomes. Not sure that follows and I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that. It’s just a kind of lazy fatali

If you trust what the executives of OpenAI and Anthropic say about their respective projects, its a die roll as to whether or not they will totally destroy the world. A theme of the last 5-10 years has been tech dropping the whitewashing of

If the world comes to that it will be absolutely catastrophic, and it’s a failure of grappling with the implications that many of the executives of AI companies think you can paper over the social upheaval with some UBI. There will be no co

I wish I understood why all lowercase text and cosplaying as Zoomers became the preferred affectation of AI people.

I suppose Jack in the Box should not be liable for an E. Coli outbreak? Not sure why AI companies (or third party developers who aren't being especially careful in how they use these models) deserve a special exception for selling saus
