💯 vcs and tech bros act like they cured cancer with Gen AI.

[xaetacore@neondystopia.world]

@nixCraft@mastodon.social They introduced cancer(slop)

[casualobserver@post.lurk.org]

@nixCraft As a person who works in research I can assure you that some of the things standing in the way of "finding the cure" depend on the patentability of the drugs that are being studied.

@adamzawodni
Thats the point

If I ask Gemini to convert a 20 line fish script I wrote into bash, who exactly did I steal from? That new 20 line bash script doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.

I think non-practitioners are getting on a different page than practitioners, because they don't understand how these things are really being used.

@nixCraft When everyone is a programmer, nobody is a programmer.

[pier@infosec.exchange]

@buckfiftyseven From every project that had their work swiped without consent or compensation. Google didn’t magic up that script out of thin air, they stole it. From the people of the future who are going to live with constant droughts and catastrophic climate disasters. And from yourself, through deskilling.

[henryk@chaos.social]

@nixCraft @briankrebs Also, they literally stood behind a podium and announced that they *would* cure cancer just one year ago. Weirdly enough, there hasn't been any sort of followup since. I mean, other than OpenAI dropping its nonprofit status.

[buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social]

@pier what do you mean by project? Are you suddenly making a rule that every bash man page, that was intended to be read by a bash user, cannot be read by this kind of mechanical bash user?

Or are you saying that some past answer to someone's bash problem, which we all understood could be useful to other bash users, cannot be used by this kind of bash user?

Why wouldn't I want *my* answers to reach as many people as possible?

@nixCraft Yes 3D print cylinder heads, engine blocks, cylinder linings, exhaust valves, exhaust pipes, exhaust mufflers, injectors, engine head bolts, pistons, piston rings, crankshaft bearings, connecting rods, motorbike chains, sprockets, spokes, wheel bearings. tyres, headlight reflectors, headlight covers, clutch plates, transmission cogs, spark plugs, all that is gonna work just fine, made out of porous plastic waffle with glass transition temperature of 65°C, and with a nice mating precision. Surely they won't melt when you give full gas in a long uphill ride or on a highway on a hot day. I am sure PLA will hold well when I take a 30 cm wrench and stand with one foot on it to tighten the wheel axle nut with the prescribed torque.

@nixCraft AI and the resulting wastefulness like the blockchain before it is an example of a society where the supposed elites have given in on fighting collapse and are now competing to see who'll rule over the ashes.

[bwaz@mastodon.online]

@nixCraft
AI undoes the benefit the internet gave the world. We went from having tremendous information at our fingertips to, now, not being able to slog through "sounds like" fantasy of some energy sucking algorithms to figure what might be real. Thanks, tech bros!

[pier@infosec.exchange]

@buckfiftyseven Right, because Gemini is trained exclusively on bash man pages and Stack Overflow

[stonykark@mstdn.ca]

@nixCraft @briankrebs if we can make our own apps, what do we need "big tech" for, exactly?
