Or educate the people around you that “AI” is not the magical fairy dust machine that can do anything imaginable. Might be better than giving them any money at all.

That’s remarkably shortsighted, gullible towards the promises of AI techbros, and incredibly dumb. But fear not OP, they will learn a hard lesson or two soon. Exploding Token costs, a codebase ruined beyond repair cobbled together by a fancy autocomplete based on training data from stackoverflow in 2023… gonna be great.

I’m feel your pain, as a senior dev I decided to take a break at least till the end of the year to watch the Titanic sink in slow motion. I’m specializing in the told-you-so business right now and I’ll be ready to charge premium when this ship has sunk.

There is a crucial difference though, vibe coding enables people who are neither interested nor capable of understanding what is involved in maintaining a piece of software. Before vibe coding it didn’t even come to this situation: if you can’t write software you don’t need to maintain it. While there were bad coders and bad maintainers before, the numbers have now increased dramatically because everyone can pretend to be a software dev these days.

Just Imagine, some day he will not wake up any more.

Even as Because Many Investors Lost Big

FTFY. The whole point of crypto scams like these is to rugpull “investors”

Schröder was SPD, not CDU. But that’s beside the point. You guys seem to think that the currently elected party completely controls the judicative system, but this is not the USA.

Also this: If someone commits a crime (blowing up a pipeline) it should not matter to the law if the person who did it is one of the “good guys” (Ukraine) or if the stuff that runs through the pipe comes from the “bad guys” (Russia).

Quite the opposite: if the nationality of the person or the origin of the goods damaged would actually influence how a court decides, that would be corruption.

I’m not saying things like these don’t happen, but you’re grossly oversimplifying the matter

Software Dev wird schon seit einigen Monaten immer mehr zum Scheissjob. Immer noch ein gut bezahlter Scheissjob, zugegebenermaßen, aber auch das ändert sich gerade

Rules for thee but not for me

Or, hear me out, crazy idea: You could just stop attacking Ukraine and all of this will go away.

If you do, at the very least negotiate a much higher salary. They will be desperate, make it hurt them.

You don’t need the OCR step… a lot of LLM models come with “vision” They can transcribe your shaky mobile phone pictures and do their slop thing in one step. You could even wire up an output tool MCP style that feeds the slop back via keyboard USB. The perfect Slop Centipede

it’s an opinionated distro, man. /s

When I had the intense displeasure to work on larger Ruby on Rails projects a few years ago I immediately knew something is off with this guy. His Holier-Than-Though-attitude is not only visible on his blog, but everywhere in the code. Like Omarchy, Rails is also opinionated from top to bottom and things start to go wrong as soon as you leave the DHH approved path. Which basically means, if you use the default configuration (aka Convention over Configuration) everything works fairly well. But as soon as you need to customize anything, things go terribly wrong. For example, DHH hates Javascript and therefore Rails has a grotesquely complicated wrapper that generates Javascript from Rails code. If you have a need to do integrate Javascript beyond that it quickly becomes Trainwreck on Rails.

“Mark Zuckerberg is realizing there’s a limit to ruthless efficiency”.

Cost cutting is not synonymous with efficiency. It’s sad that a business focused magazine doesn’t see through the bullshit.

• Losing 70+ billion on the failed VR experiment and laying off workers related to VR has zero to do with efficiency. It’s just stopping losses without having any other positive effects. No efficiency gain here because the whole thing is mothballed.
• Putting AI bros in decision making positions and demoting highly payed engineers who actually know how the platform works to AI training babysitters: Not very efficient so far because the fuck ups are getting costly quickly.

There is more, but why should I give a fuck about Meta. Let this dumpster fire burn.

Can’t read the whole article bc paywall… But if they are really worried about token cost for converting PDF to a Powerpoint, they ain’t seen nothing yet. Agentic coding the way AI companies push it (multiple agents in parallel with Claude, looping etc) uses way way wayyyyy more tokens than this.

We already know what is going to happen because we’ve seen it all before. At launch the game will be riddled with bugs, there will be obscure server connection issues (for a singleplayer game), complaints, sadness, tears and anger. I’ll pick it up when it’s on sale and if it runs on Linux.

Do they? I only use local models on my GPU and my experience is that Qwen3.6 is so much better than Google’s Gemma 4. I have no comparison to big models, because I refuse to use those. But friends told me that Claude and Co are doing pretty dumb things too while frying the planet

I think a major problem is that it is difficult to prove which IP is in the model data. That’s why the AI companies argue that there isn’t a verbatim copy in the model, and therefore it’s not theft. The law in most countries is not equipped to deal with this scenario

Absolutely true, but that doesn’t change the fact that those AI companies stole the knowledge to train their models and they did this on a massive scale.

It’s so ridiculous to see a guy torrenting a few movies getting jailtime while the AI companies make off with the biggest IP heist in history and get applauded for it.

Good for you, but you and me and most of lemmy are not the target group. Millions of gullible braindead consumerists are.
