Comment Re:AI is not the problem. (Score 1) 213

I think it's time we start denying rights to businesses and transfer them to citizens.

Only businesses must pay taxes, citizens should be tax free. Businesses must not be allowed to own homes. Citizens are.

Modern businesses are cross country realities that escape state control and regulations. For the modern business, countries are just consumer pools. They don't give a fuck if they drain you dry, because they'll just sell to someone else and by the time that happens, the CEO will have retired anyway.

Businesses also are no longer about selling a good product, which is evaluated by the consumer, but selling good shares, which is evaluated by stakeholders. So the value of a company is no longer in the value of the product it sells, but in the illusion that this product is disruptive. Investors pour money in, under the assumption that it will be, and when the market crashes and the company goes bankrupt, the C suites are laughing from their yachts in international waters.

See, the problem is that the "toxic trash" is just other people having a different opinion and experiences. When you create a situation where the "toxic trash" is isolated for being "toxic trash", what do you think it's going to happen? that they realize they are wrong and join you?

Nope. that's not how humans work. All you have done is to ensure that the "toxic trash" now forms its own group with no contradicting voice, and goes underground, which actually reinforces the problem rather than mitigate it.

Besides, the "toxic trash" has become toxic because they see and experience problems, and the "non toxic trash" tell them it's their fault. Anybody would become "toxic trash" if I suffer problems and then some "rosey trash" accuses me of being the problem.

All I know that the future will have a lot of applications that suddenly explode for no reason, because the bot vomit didn't consider obvious corner cases. But the pseudowhatevermanager that instructed the bot to deliver an application at a 100th of the price got the big bonus, so that's what matters.

Comment Fixing the code vomited by the bot (Score 3, Insightful) 79

"vibe coding" is exhausting because we follow a train of logic when we develop code. The bot does not allow us to do that. It dumps a massive amount of trash on us that may or may not be correct, and you have to read whatever it vomited if it's correct or not. If it's not, then you will have to tell the bot where it's wrong, using a non-formal language, and hope that the new vomit is marginally different so that you don't have to check the whole vomit patch all over again.

Comment The CGI revolutiojn (Score 1) 50

All I know is that the CGI revolution gave us completely idiotic and epilepsy inducing movies that cost like the GDP of a small nation, and a flood of remakes and capeshit.

I haven't seen a decent movie since the end of the 90s, with the only possible exception of Interstellar, Oppenheimer, and Godzilla minus one.

CGI has simply opened the gates to massive budget inflation and poor storytelling to deliver slop to the masses.

The problem is that you still need to review and check the thousands and thousands of LOC that the bot has generated. Are you going to push the whole bot vomit in production without a second look? And to take that second look, it takes a lot of time anyway.
