It's a good thing we're ruining the climate so that we can also erode job quality and social interactions.
I can only hope aerospace and medical industries are raising strict constraints against this slop otherwise I fear for the future. Eroding engineering AND communication? Thats a good formula for success
I'm on the same boat I'd rather be left behind than play this stupid game.
It's specially hurtful to see open source developers and projects using and supporting the tools of companies which blatantly stole their work - and now profit from it - and that are actively against the open source ideals (Anthropic when trying to close github repos with their code)
I've stopped all my monetary support for open source projects, and moved all my code to a self hosted instance.
I'm not against AI tools I see where they can be useful, I'm just morally opposed to and disgusted of the ways these companies work.
That ship has sailed. These models were trained unethically on stollen data, they pollute tremendously and are causing a bubble that is hurting people.
It's so bizarre I see everyone happy using llms trained unethically, so they stop doing the only creative and interesting part of the whole SDLC and just become managers
There is no strong argument that they were "trained unethically". You can google or ask an LLM to argue pro/con that claim... but of course, you haven't, since doing so would itself violate your apparent worldview.
> so they stop doing the only creative and interesting part of the whole SDLC and just become managers
Bullshit (and, speaking as an old, incredibly whiny). Figuring out the right way to talk to yet another API is not the "creative and interesting part." Coming up with entirely new concepts and building them faster than I ever thought possible given that I have zero time to myself since I have a kid is literally the most "creative and interesting" thing I've experienced in my entire life. /shrug
I don't know what to say to folks like you anymore other than "byeeeeee, got too many ideas I can build now to waste time arguing with people who are simply not getting it... and maybe never got it in the first place because they got pushed into STEM instead of being cursed from the gods with it like I definitely did"
