What fresh hell is this? Everyone was raving about brave as the best privacy browser not long ago. What happened?

When I ask the younger devs at work about their code they often tell me what they asked Claude to do instead of telling me what their code does. It’s so frustrating.

One trick pony

"For basically nothing’… If it’s basically nothing then use your damn brain to do it.

That’s terrible. But also stupid. There’s nothing to stop each citizen from creating hundreds of corporations.

But it’s ok because AI will solve our climate crisis… Right?.. /s

I envy those that can retire soon. I’m halfway through my career, not enough money to retire yet.

AI is the worst thing that ever happened to software engineering. I’m actually reviewing my options for getting out of it.

Nothing. I do my best to keep my data private but I don’t let it deny me life experiences. If I did, that would be another form of power that our surveillance overlords would have over me. Fuck them.

I’ll probably get down voted into oblivion for saying that in this forum but this is where I’m at.

Wait until they learn how much it costs to fix the mistakes made by Artificial Idiocy.

Startpage uses google search. I think they use the paid API service, the question is whether that service will continue after these changes.

I guess this will kill startpage

First they forced us back to the office despite a mountain of evidence showing hybrid work is more productive.

Now they’re forcing us to use AI even if it’s pure garbage.

I’m so sick of these micromanaging, power-tripping buffoons. I can’t wait to retire.

In Bill Lumbergh’s voice: If every American could just chip in $100k that would be greeaat.

Wait until he learns they make chips. I can totally see him saying if Lay’s can make chips in the US then why can’t nvidia?

Is this real though? I see sensational headlines like this all the time, most of the time it’s bs.

It’s not entitlement if the laws make no sense.

It’s funny if you don’t like him (and i don’t) but i really don’t want this to be a regular thing going forward.

In Kermit the frog’s voice: You have to define what is “up”, what is “for”, what is “sale”? It’s not bloody obvious what these terms mean. This move is like Raskolnikov’s struggle with his wretchedness as described in the book of Genesis…

I hear a lot of bitching and moaning, and no ideas, no proposed solutions.
