Instead of claiming "popularity" it would be more accurate to claim "languages n00blets are struggling with"

....if you want this sort of garbage

Maybe ignoring the critical update advice was a bad decision?

Hahahah

Religions continue even today

Delusional thinking has been around for most of our history.

Whut?! Did we bump our head?

Not how "apps" work.

They typically have a bunch of back-end. The "app" is just the UI / mvc.

Pretttttty sure asking some garbage LLM to "vibe code" something on my phone will end up with garbage that looks functional but does nothing of value.

Sure. But what we're discussing is NOT AI. When we say "AI" whilst pointing at LLMs, we're wrong. There is no intelligence in there. Just math.

It's fancy math. It is not AI.

It is highly unlikely that LLMs will get us to AI.

The snake oil was "we just need large enough data sets!" - It's been apparent for a while now this was a blatant lie.

That, right there, is a trap.

Clowns all the way down

Telegram has admitted to handing over data. On more than one occasion. Israel and Germany, IIRC?

Same with Meta

Signal/OWS remains the better option. Not 100% perfect but still a damned sight more robust.

Where LLM actors are using investor money to suck up everything in order to keep it out of the hands of the competition.

Cannot wait for this bubble to pop and we get to see those responsible hanging from street lights. (Hahahahahaha - not)

The hidden costs - especially on up-and-coming devs - is the fact that knowledge isn't being retained so a solved problem will end up being re-solved by LLM again. And again. And again.

Worse yet, given how human creativity works, this means we won't see novel applications or solutions. Just layer after layer of mostly functional AI slop

Signal, the company, cannot decrypt anything. What are you on about?

Hamilton's work outshines Sanderson significantly but they pick that noise? Is it because reading is hard and we prefer short words and easy concepts over anything engaging?

That's shocking!

Seriously. "Electrified" is *not* the word we were aiming at here.
