"i've now got an ai assistant running for me 24/7 and now i don't know how i'd do anything without it" omg omg you say that like it's a good thing that's going to end well for you

i am convinced that something that's at play here is that our perception of time spent coding tends to be much greater than it actually is, while perception of time spent prompting the machine tends to be much less, leading to a perception of time saved that doesn't match reality
when you're playing the slot machines you remember the time that coins spilled out all over the floor, but you don't remember all the times you pulled the lever and nothing happened. this does not mean playing the slot machines is a good way of making money!

@ana isn't it interesting how the techbro's AI assistant is always she/her?
Kent “best engineer in the world” Overstreet talking about his AI girlfriend “is like raising a teenager” …

techbros will really refer to an inanimate object as "she" before they'll respect the pronouns of an actual trans person
@ana oh god! They really will, won’t they. Ugh.

but what if you could get the dopamine hit from playing slots while still going to work and being a good corporate drone? hmmm...

@ana Perhaps related to the long tradition of referring to boats/airplanes/cars as "she"?

@ana it's the timelessness of romance, the feeling of eternal communion with the machine, cradling the ChatGPT thingummy in one's arms and whispering sweet nothings into its ear until it finally coughs up something that can compile

@ana just like fundamentalist evangelicals (I refuse to call them Christian, because they are usually Mammonists) will give up pork so they can keep using Leviticus as a cudgel against gay people.

"code is easy now" counterpoint, no code is not easy you are just choosing to view maintenance and reliability and everything the llm can't do as an externality that somehow doesn't matter. code is still very hard
@ana fucking startup ideology innit

@ana don't be considerate, don't think about the future, don't think about repercussions or consequences, just "disrupt" as quickly and violently as possible

if you aren't spending all day playing slots are you really maximizing the effectiveness of your financial planning?

@ana If you think writing code is hard, try fixing code you didn't write.

we need to figure out why everyone with ai psychosis becomes obsessed with spirals. it's really weird
@ana spirals, you say ?

@ana but maintenance and reliability is female-coded labor so it doesn't count
