i have yet to meet a single dev or office bee who was forced to use AI and now adopted that AI and saw their workload decrease. it's actually the opposite. now they are just working 2x/3x as hard to double check the AI's "help"
this is one the greatest scam AI companies pulled on everyone while destroying jobs and environments.
@nixCraft even in a theoretical ideal scenario where AI is able to really increase productivity - management just demands even more insane deadlines, leading to a net increase in developer stress and burnout. It's a lose-lose for sure

@jtskywalker @nixCraft It’s a gift for the capitalist and a disaster for the worker. #AI

@nixCraft The only thing I have found AI useful for is generating outlines for papers. That's it.

i was talking to one of the iOS devs where team size was slashed by 30% this year and everyone was forced to adopt AI. he said the stress is too much and in most cases i don't even know what claude is doing and i just blindly pass that shit now. his exact words were there is no way i can double check 5000 lines of junk produced in seconds. nobody can check it and he said he lost all interest in this craft. he is keeping his job to feed his kids
@nixCraft I will admit Claude has gone downhill from what it was a month or two ago lmao Opus 4.7 is basically a downgrade from 4.6

@nixCraft and now add this recent mind blowing statement by #GitLab's CEO:
"Software will be built by machines, directed by people. AI is the substrate on which future software gets built. Agents will plan, code, review, deploy, and repair. Humans still own the judgment that matters most: architecture, deep understanding of the customer problem, the tradeoffs that require taste."
As much as I like #AI as a technology, I am disgusted by the openly displayed greed
@riaschissl @nixCraft That's a long post from Gitlab, to inform us their stocks are down 57% over the last year and they don't make profits. That's why they fire people and beat the AI hype drum.

@nixCraft I’m fairly convinced at this point that a lot of companies who deploy these tools are actually just covering up that they are doing poorly. Telling shareholders that you are ”innovating workflows and improving efficiency” looks better than admitting you’re laying people off due to having liquidity issues.

@nixCraft What I fear is that this practice is so common that companies that where previously doing fairly well (like where I work) are now jumping on the band wagon due to fear of missing out.

@nixCraft i used AI once for a personal project.
After 10 day of debuggin i trashed the thing a redo it myself ... in 3 day without a single bug.

@riaschissl @nixCraft no it's a religion, those CEO really think it working they "trust blindly like in a religion".
It's like homeopaty, every single scientifique who is not a liar know it don't work.
Yet it's one of the most successfull fake madecine.
AI it's the same but you replace mama janine by CEO, and the scientist by Computer scientist.

@nixCraft LLMs are supposed to increase velocity, which essentially means humans see more code than before, definitely not less, especially since LLMs tend to be very verbose about their work

@nixCraft During 40 years of commercial Software development I found that I prefer working for small companies you could call startups. There I found freedom and creativity in small teams.
Usually after a few years they got bought by big players and they changed in a way that was not optimal for me so I started searching for new clients.
The AI hype sounds like one of those changed that would have made me change my job. I'm now 60 years old and won't change clients any more nor work with AI.

Like Marx wrote:
“Like every other increase in the productiveness of labour, machinery is intended to cheapen commodities, and, by shortening that portion of the working-day in which the labourer works for himself, to lengthen the other portion that he gives, without an equivalent, to the capitalist. In short, it is a means for producing surplus-value.”
AI is a accelerating force of capitalist development.
