Buddy, you're a bigger idiot than I think you are.

Knowing what games are compatible and to what degree before purchasing them would make me happier.

That's what https://www.protondb.com/ is good for.

I never said anything about artists. I don't think AI has much use in artistic endeavors. I'm talking about a software development job.

And as soon as your hypocrisy is called out, you resort to name-calling. Belligerence isn't an argument, even if you fail to think of one in its place.

You should really try again, I think.

Honestly if part of their job is at all trying to get old shit to run on new operating systems AI is very useful for that task.

Part of my job is keeping a 30 year old c++ application compiling and building on newer versions of Linux. LLMs have made this a far easier experience.

What hypocrisy? You ARE an idiot.

formatters, style guides, linters, boilerplates, translation, configuration etc.

None of that is “AI” dumbass. Stop watering down the terminology.

LLMs run from cloud data canters are the thing that everyone is against, and that is what the term “AI” means. No one thinks IntelliSense is AI; no one thinks adding jslint to your CI pipeline is AI.

If it's the best tool then why is there so much push back from developers? Are they wrong and for some reason people like you are right? Is it not causing layoffs in that sector?

And you're incapable of formulating a good argument, and so you resort to whatever this is an attempt of, in order to have the last word and escape the embarrassment of knowing you can't articulate your own thoughts.

Don't feel bad though. You're doing your best, and that's all that matters.

Those things didn’t destroy communities, pollute the earth, wrestle personal computing away from the populace, use up all the drinking water in an area, and provide a near total and realtime panopticon of everyone, everywhere, at all times, while stealing all the collected works of said society in order to be built without penalty at a time when ordinary folks are ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars because they posted a social media video of their kid dancing to a song that was playing on broadcast radio.

But sure keep boiling in that pot because you don’t need to do all the boilerplate for your fucking Node project or whatever. Fucking frog.

I wasn’t talking about existing tools.

Don't act so stupid, dude. You know what post you're in, or at least I hope you do.

If you want to claim that AI can magically do something that not even AI companies themselves can prove, then prove it. Ed Zitron has been begging AI evangelists like you to prove it for at least a year now. Otherwise, I call bullshit on your evangelism.

Neither does a locally run LLM model.

There's no push back from the developers at my company or the developers that I interact with. We have been embracing it for the use cases that AI is good at. There is lots of manual effort that us software developers don't like doing that AI automates easily. I believe the mass layoffs that companies are doing are using AI as a convenient excuse in uncertain economic conditions.

Oof. I may never recover from this one.

Here's one

It is the role of government to regulate those problems, but you can't uninvent a technology. As for me in my work, the most I can say is that I almost used AI once; a coworker did it for me before I could get to our company approved AI page. That, plus other companies mandating its usage (if it was really so great, it wouldn't be difficult to convince anyone to use it) is why I'm not confident that it is one of those inevitable technologies. But if it is, being a dick to people about it is stupid.

Which means calling some anti-AI people Luddites make perfect sense, no? Many of them have just as valid of a worry and fear as the Luddites did.

Of course, once the anti-AI sentiment goes mainstream, the amount of idiots who are irrationally anti-AI also increases, and these ones are not worth listening to, unlike the Luddites-like ones.

There you go, predictably making more baseless claims. If these things are supposedly so great, prove it.

And how did you hallucinate a misspelling in my comment? Maybe take a break from Elon's CSAM bot for a while.
