We can move goal posts all we like. All modern companies writing software are using AI. My company is heavy in AI use and we are opening more positions not less. The problem is that these new roles are for much more senior engineers simply because the need for entry level engineers is being replaced by AI. The bigger question is how do you train new senior engineers.

Slop companies were making slop before AI, they are going to continue. There is a huge market for it. Just like spam, scammers, and all other sorts of nonsense. AI might change the pace, but it doesn't change that shit companies will produce shit things and good companies will produce good things. Both will use the same tools.

An even better idea would be to ditch the cretinous vertical fridges where cold air pours out as soon as you open the door, and go back to horizontal ones where, by its nature, the cold air just sits there.

Often in copyright cases for song melodies, if the artist being sued for infringement could have possibly had access to the music they’re accused of copying, even if it was something they listened to once, they can be accused of “subconsciously” infringing on the original content. One of the most notorious examples of this is Tom Petty’s claim that Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” sounded too close to Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.” Smith eventually had to give Petty co-writing credits on their own chart-topping song, which entitled Petty to royalties.

That eventually lead to this https://archive.org/download/a... where programmer, musician, and copyright attorney Damien Riehl, along with fellow musician/programmer Noah Rubin, sought to stop copyright lawsuits that they believe stifle the creative freedom of artists. They did that by just using a algo to make ever possible 8-note, 12-beat melody combo within a single octave. They then copywrighted it and released it to the public domain.

So clearly written page is not required when assessing a music recording. Hell even John Fogerty was once accused of stealing his own music and won the case by playing a guitar in front of the jury.

I would think that an audit trail only needs temperature readings, not adjustments.

You don't want to know who made the adjustment? Nor the time the adjustment was made? What adjustment was made?

Might as well gut audit logs in Windows or Linux if all you want to know is a reading.

In 2003, Trump a card holding liberal sent Epstien a birthday card. That was a liberal attack to hurt today's Donald Trump, the most conservative man on earth and our greatest president.

Fucking liberals man, ever time!

Thanks for the confirmation, Meta, that Haidt was 100% correct.

Using AI is a wide spectrum.

You can easily use AI to make great video games, just like you can use AI to write any other software. Just like you can use intellisense for code completion and still make great video games.

The thing that determines if a product is great is the people involved in the process who understand the business case, the expected work product, and the spirit of the goal. So I'm 100% for a game company using AI to help it write code and create the building blocks of a game. Like any product code needs reviews, graphics need tweaked, the software needs to be tested and product tested.

So yes, if you one shot a game with AI and do no testing or tweaking it's going to be shit. If you use it appropriately like any other tool you can accelerate your deliverable and make fine products.

I think we will see some games crafted with love that leveraged AI for the parts that are less interesting. For example someone with talent in graphic design and writing who has a wonderful idea for a turn based RPG, but isn't sure how to make Unity work leverages AI to turn that story and art into something fun. It would be great if everyone could find people who believed in their ideas and worked with them, but often all you find are people who tell you nothing will work. Sometimes you have to go it alone and AI is making that easier.

Software development as we know it is ending. AI tools are 'good enough' that any idea can be made fairly quickly with even limited knowledge. This opens up a lot of opportunities for creativity and itch scratching while at the same time impacting the commercial value of software. I'm shocked the open source community doesn't see this as a pivital moment for free software.

For example, recently I wanted to play nethack on my m1 mac. I also wanted to use a tileset. Finding no good OSX arm based clients, I spun one up in a week with a custom tileset that I tweaked to my likings and even added graphical features to represent the true 'size' of items and creatures in the game.

Now I'm fully capable of building that solution by hand, it would have taken a month or two, but I would have needed to find a like minded person who knows how to build graphics and shared the same visual inspirations and goals I had. That would have probably just caused me to end the idea. Instead I scratched that itch and have been playing nethack a ton more and I'm happy. I released the code as open source so anyone who cares to can play with it.

To me that is real value and not 'slop'.

Quite. Scientists and researchers have been using the term AI to describe this collection of technologies and algorithms since the 1950s. The field has (arguably) made great strides recently. Most of the current scientists and researchers have been perfectly content to continue to call it AI. But no! Now we're going to let somebody who was born stupid, dedicated his life to staying stupid, and now is seemingly in advanced stages of dementia tell us what we should call this field? What a bunch of bootlickers these tech execs are. I hope Trump has the good sense to walk through a cattle field before he asks these losers to get their tongues out.

Pretty fucking obvious to anyone with a normal brain aspie.

" How would such language constitute anything other than a distinction without a difference?"

Says the man without a job, kids, elderly parents or any kind of responsibilities.

Its not the physically changing the clocks thats the issue you idiot, its the general pointless hassle of it.

We're sick of it here in the UK too. The problem is some people who prefer lighter evenings want permanent BST, others like me who prefer lighter mornings want permanent GMT/UTC.

Better a few Boomers lose their shirts than decades or centuries of techno-fascism.

Because only boomers have investments.

Your whining is the same thing that has been said for centuries whenever a new technology or process has come along. I can guarantee you would have been one of those whining when the cotton gin was invented, or cars and airplanes started being made. This is how society advances. If you don't like, you don't have to participate.

You need rage bait and outrage porn to engage people on the internet

On r/lawncare, it's people's shoes and dogs shitting on the lawn. On r/laundry, it's people either deliberately telling you what piece of clothing is dirty and asking how to clean it, or showing the labels.

I don't have an account, but even I can recognize this astroturfing. It's being deliberately done to get views.
