You're just lying. I ran some tests on the scenarios you described and the results were an absolute mess. They only worked in certain cases and would be practically impossible to maintain if necessary. What I found useful about LLMs was summarizing information and finding documentation (which is their strong suit), but writing code for you? And complex code? No way.

If your country lasts that long. And with the risk that he might decide "If I'm going down, I'm taking everyone with me" and end the entire world along with it.

It’s about control too. If all eletronic transactions have to go through VISA to be processed, then VISA can control who can buy what and who can sell what. A public, trustworthy eletronic payment system managed by other governments takes that power away from VISA, so naturally VISA will sabotage any attempt by foreign governments to establish something like UPI.

You're just fooling yourself now... I've conducted experiments despite what you might think, and the results have always been so disastrous that I gave up trying. Same goes for my colleagues. And my interns may make mistakes just like AI, but they have one advantage: they learn from their mistakes.

Well, time will tell who is right... But the way things are going, my way of doing things may will end up being actually safer than this AI-generated slop that's popping up everywhere and being marketed as "the best thing in the world". And I don't have to worry about how many "tokens" I have to spend on what I'm doing, because, after all, I'm not using any.

You’re getting somewhat usable results from AI solely because someone else in the world has already done something exactly the same or very similar to what you wanted to do. This isn’t all that unlikely to happen because there aren’t that many different ways to make a form receive and display data, for example.

Now, if you take someone like me, who is constantly creating new things or new ways of doing things (and no, I won’t describe them because of trade secrets), AI just gets in the way and can even be a serious security risk. The only thing AI has been somewhat helpful with here is acting as a “Google summary,” and since I’m the one who decides whether the AI’s suggestion has merit or not, it never touches the code itself.

Cars are actually useful. AI, on the other hand...

Just don't use AI.

You are the only loser here ;)

Actually, let's correct my comment a bit since you, being a snowflake, couldn't grasp the "why" of it. I actually used to buy games. But those were games that I still own, and if I want to play them again (even decades later), I can. While the games they currently sell to you they can take them away from you at any time, unilaterally and without warning. You'd have to be an idiot to accept those kinds of terms. So, pirating.

Maybe one of these days they'll go back to selling games that are actually yours, and then I'll go back to buying games. But I think it's unlikely they'll change their minds.

I'm not able of care even less about what you think.

That’s why I pirate games without a shred of guilt. Why would I pay for a game when the author could take my money and then decide unilaterally at any time that I can no longer play the game, and without me having the right to a refund if that happens?

Given the current level of developers involved, I question whether the permissions will always work.

The person who wrote this law must be one of the most utterly moronic person on earth. Or the biggest piece of shit. One of those clowns who want their every whim fulfilled at any cost, yet completely incapable of grasping the stupidity and impossibility of what they’re demanding. And this clown is making laws??

Just a few years ago, an app with almost the same functionality as WhatsApp (though it wouldn’t have video or audio, since that wasn’t feasible back then on dial-up or DSL connections) wouldn’t have used more than 50MB even under heavy use. Nowadays, however, an app with the same goals easily exceeds 1.5GB of RAM.

1.5 GB of RAM for an instant messaging app. It was possible to run the entire Windows XP system plus user applications on 128MB of RAM... 256MB was a luxury.

And for those complete idiots who keep going on and on about how “memory that isn’t used is wasted memory,” I have two things to say to those clowns:

1) There is absolutely no reason to use 1GB of RAM for a task that you can easily handle with just 10MB of RAM. Just because your computer has 32GB of RAM doesn’t mean you have to use all of it just for your application;

2) Your application isn't the only thing running on the user's computer. What happens if the dozens of processes running on the user's computer all have the same idiotic idea of trying to reserve all the computer's memory for themselves?

A native Windows app uses Windows system libraries to handle tasks like communication and rendering, and relies on operating system methods to draw its interface, and so on. Basically, almost everything you saw being used in Windows 7. Whereas in Windows 11, what at first glance appears to be an desktop application is actually a piece of shit built on Electron or another “web container” whose purpose is to make a web page look like a desktop app. It even works, but with horrendous waste of CPU time and RAM.
