They are being extremely random and utterly stupid with layoffs, all of the larger developers.

I’ve seen the best technical artist being fired right in the middle of transition from built-in rendering pipeline to URP, which is THE thing where you need a technical artist that understands your shaders, especially if the game has a lot of custom ones. There wasn’t even a reason for it, just general layoffs. I’ve seen people who have been in the middle of working on larger features that are important part of the game being fired, without any warning and cut access after the weekend, so there’s no time or chance for handover.

It sucks, even AI could do a lot better job with this, i.e maybe not firing the devs that thave the most important knowledge.

Ooh, I totally forgot about thw fact that you also have to count the space for the food for the animals, that’s what I was missing. It makes a lot more sense now, thanks!

I’m kind of looking forward to this, in a way? I’ve been struggling with social network addiction, while I was fortunate enough to skip on doomscrolling FB, Instagram, TikTok and all that bullshit, I was always mostly just on Reddit, now Lemmy (but I’ve also been getting back to Reddit more than I should), or watching youtube.

Over the past 15 years I’ve been more or less (usually less) successful in cutting off that habit, but I’ve unfortunately always fallen back into it.

My utmost hate for fingerprinting and any kind of verification will make me finally cold turkey that shit. I’ve already seen it with youtube - every time it forces me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot, I fuck off and go do something else. Same with Reddit.

So, yeah.

Yeah, I can make a feature without really bothering about it, just by prompting. It works, so I don’t really care that much, but the PR takes ages to both clean up for review and then review.

Oh, and it also burns on average 3000$ a month, which is with prices we have, that seems to average at about 1$ per 1mil tokens, so you’d have 10k+ down the drain, per month, if using consumer Claude API. The math just isn’t there, like how can they look at literally millions in monthly spend and say “Yeah, that’s worth it”. And that is before the inevitable price increase.

But whatever, I can increasingly see colleagues just giving up and sending PRs that have been probably only reviewed by AI, with AI written description, that a colleague answers to with another AI written review, that is then merged. There’s even someone who keeps answering to chat messages with AI - we do have it wired up, and it sends messages on your behalf, but it tags them as AI, so it’s really fucking obvious. And some do that even in DMs, ffs.

At this point I’m just figuring out what field will I change my career to, while burning thousands of dollars so a bot can do my job while I’m playing games or watching videos waiting for it. I get paid either way, so fuck that.

Oh, that’s cool! To be honest, I’ve kind of expected some of the values to be a lot higher. I’d expect that with the inhumane conditions the animals are being stacked, at least the land use per kg would be more efficient than i.e carrots.

I learned a new (not so cool) fact, thanks for the data!

I’m not sure I understand what “meters squared (m²) for one year to produce one kilogram of a given food product.” means, though. I’m not doubting the data, World in Data is my favorite newsletter/source, but I’m having a hard time imagining why do you need almost 400m3 per kg of beef. Or rather, I understand that for actually free-range animals, but as far as I know they are not kept in those conditions. It kind of intuitively feels like larger animals should be more space-efficient than vegetables. Again, not trying to argue or doubt it, just trying to understand why.

You have to time it right, there is a sweet spot when it’s just warm enough for a while.

I would like to see this graph with non-animal agriculture added, especially if scaled to meet the demands of missing animal agriculture.

I’m not defending animal agriculture, I’m honestly curious. Especially about water usage and land use, I can imagine pollution will be a lot lower.

I love how desperate Meta is to be part of the AI race :D This has the energy of a looser kid on a playground that is so desparate for attention it tries to mimic the things cool kids are doing.

Lol, “look at us, we have AI too, it also can go rogue”.

No one cares about your AI in the slightest, Meta. Fuck off.

Kind of have an urge now to post an issue that the nstall skill has installed a malware on my machine.

It’s pretty plausible that could happen, and good luck debugging that.

While you’re technically right, I’d say that FOSS in general is more than just a tool, and Linux is The FOSS project.

Deciding to share your work freely and cooperate with strangers as a contributor is, especially in a world driven by profits, a pretty major lifestyle/philosophy and an act of resistance against capitalism.

Of course, you can just exploit the ecosystem and treat it as any other tool, that happens to be free, but I would say that that is the explanation about “people that worship the altar of Linus” that you’re looking for. Spending basically your entire life to help make something, especially as complex as an operating system, for others and for free is something that, at least in my eyes, is worthy of admiration and I have utmost repsect for people who contribute.

Thank you for this comment, especially the second part - thanks to that I’ve realized it’s something I’ve been guilty of doing ever since a lot of the things I used to love started getting heavily enshittified, and most of my comments are exactly what you are mentioning, and I never realized that until you said it.

I’ll do the same! While I wasn’t making the comments malliciously, mostly just sharing my disappointment as a way of giving feedback to the product in question, but I didn’t really occur to me that there’s really no point that doesn’t add anything to the discussion, and there’s really no reason to spend time doing that. It’s something I never really thought about, but what you’re saying makes sense, so thanks for mentioning it.

I can imagine that works for most cases, but when you try to include some lesser known and obscure library, that is heavily typosquatted, you might run into issues.

Once JetBrains started to get into AI bullshit, I immediately canceled my subscription.

You get a permanent perpetual license for the version you spend a year paying for, so I have been just using the version before they started sloppifying the entire editor. It runs ok, and does what I need, don’t see a reason to upgrade.

I’ve recently gotten access to a license at work, and oh my god the editor has gotten so much more worse and slower after the two years. It sucks, I liked JetBrains as a company, but at this point I would not recommend it to anyone, unless installing like an ancient version.

But yeah, in the toolbox you can install older versions. Go with like 2023-24 one and you’ll have a much better experience.

I’m pretty sure cards have to have some kind of blocking mechanism for this case, no? It should be really easy to detect.

At this point I’m seriously considering just running something like openclaw with a basic model to just keep clicking on random stuff and browsing the internet, changing personalities each day at random, to flood my IPs data.

Oh, in this case where they have an online form, I’d say you did see them. Everyone did, in fact, you saw it at <random time> on <random day between 29th and 1st>, and they were wearing <random color of hoodie>, were <random gender>, with a <random facial hair> and about <random height>!

In fact, everyone should go and fill out the form right now. Don’t forget to use a VPN.

This is great news, it actually means that catching someone who did this isn’t as easy as I expected. Like, it took them three days to notice that some of the cameras are missing, plus they have not caught them for another three and had to go public with this embarrassment, so they are probably getting desperate.

Haha, get fucked.

Also, it might be a good idea to flood the online tipping form with random-but-plausible tips, like about the size/weight/color of clothes of the assailant, so anyone snitching will get burried. Don’t forget to use a vpn, if you can get one as close as possible.

Isn’t there supposed to be a security code? The three-digit thing? Not sure you can brute-force that easily.

This will be a goldmine for malware groups that are poisoning AIs that use web search to get them to use their malware-ridden version of software and libraries, and I’m here for it with popcorn at the ready.

I kinda hope this will get more common, because the only people affected kind of deserve it, plus it’s a great way how to filter sloprojects at a glance.

As someone who had his relatively fine and deterministic scripts replaced by skill.md bullshit by coworkers – no. This is exactly the things AI is the worst fit for.

We’ve already ran into it halucinating complete result data-set, because it ran into an error but the skill mentioned that it should give the results data to the user. So it just made it up, since it couldn’t get it by following the correct process.

It has also ran wrong builds or input parameters, because it confused their order.

I’ve also seen it skip a step.

I’m pretty confident that the AI running this script will eventually, for someone, run into an issue with getting one of the dependencies, and go on a wild goose chase in trying to satisfy it, eventually running into one of the typosquatting malware repositories or clones. Not to mention that there are groups that are actively poisoning AIs that search the web to feed them their malware-ridden typosquatting libraries instead.

If you suck so much you can’t write a simple script like this (or just can’t be bothered), you should at least just ask the AI to write it for you, so you have a deterministic set of steps that you are confident will always behave the same.
