I tried using AI a few times, but the code quality was too low for my taste. In the end, it's faster for me to just write the code than to ask an AI to do it and then to fix its bad code.

However, AI is still a blessing. When I have a specific question, like about frameworks that I know only superficially, it's certainly faster to just ask an AI than to search the web. I don't always get a correct answer, but even with the time wasted trying things that are wrong, overall I still save a lot of time. AI basically allowed me to never go to web sites like Stack Overflow again (which is certainly good for my mental health).

So basically, debates allow everyone to get to a better answer. What a novel idea.

I understand it's very important for some people, but personally I'm not someone who values art in a video game. In fact, I think art often hinders gameplay. So I'll take without hesitation a good game with mediocre art over a mediocre game with good art. If that art is done by an AI, I don't care at all.

I will never trust a claim of privacy, security and freedom from people who make political activism (that has nothing to do with FOSS) the first value of the project. If the leader of a project thinks it's OK to insult, censor, and ban people from participating in the project based on their personal political views (that again has nothing to do with FOSS), then what's stopping that project leader from using the browser to do other nefarious things to the users?

And of course I meant to say 'the phone I want', not 'the phone I don't want'

I'd be willing to replace my 4 year-old iPhone 13 mini if Apple made a new phone that was about that size (5.4 inches diagonal). Unfortunately their smallest sized iPhone is now nearly an inch larger (6.3 inches)

I'm 56. My code is of higher quality than when I was 25, but I've lost a lot of stamina and I now need more breaks when coding. So while there is possibly some truth in the statement that senior developers are better to catch and correct AI's mistakes, I guess another factor is that some senior developers have become slower than junior developers to create code.

It was Aliens. They were out there raking the sand making it all smooth.

This seems likely to me. If the next couple of test flights go well and orbital refueling is demonstrated by early next year, there's no reason SpaceX won't try sending a Starship to lunar orbit (if not the lunar surface) sometime in 2025. This has been the plan under the Starship HLS component of the Artemis program for some time now.

When you feed it a giant cesspool of invalidated data (The internet) you should not expect a single response to be accurate. none of these AI's are fed a carefully curated data set.

But companies are expecting to replace all their programmers with AI.... What could possibly go wrong?

No, I'm also talking about the ISA. Part of this ISA was designed in the US, therefore the US government considers this is US technology. Supposing the US government decides to impose export restrictions on the RISC-V ISA, if a company in Malaysia makes its own processor that uses the RISC-V ISA and then sell this processor to a country where there is no export authorization, then the US government will sanction that Malaysian company for exporting "US technology".

It goes even beyond this. If that Malaysian company designs its own processor with its own ISA, but uses American software under export restriction to make the design, then the US government can sanction the Malaysian company under the pretense that this processor was made using "US technology".

This is how the US government can forbid ASML or TSMC from selling their own products to China, even if both companies are quite unhappy with this (and losing a lot of money).

It can control it using sanctions.

The US government can declare that any part of RISC-V made in the US must not be used outside of the US by anyone without an export authorization. If a company outside of the US still use it without authorization, the US government will impose sanctions on it, mainly by limiting or forbidding its ability to make international transactions.

China, Russia and many other countries are now working to implement a real alternative to Swift and ultimately to the US dollar, but it will take several years for that to happen. Until then, the US government controls the world.

Meh. It's not used anymore now.
