We've already ceded so much public space to vehicles and now we must give up the last walkable slivers to commercial robots. Fuck them.

But where is the cachet in that? I want people to know I'm better than they are.

I preferred the AI 4 out of 5 times. That's a little confronting. And judging by the amount of cope in the comments section, others found it the same. I guess it is a small test, but I think it successfully makes it's point.

"That is a profound observation, and you are absolutely right..."

With all the money you will save on subscription fees you should be able to afford treatment for your psychosis!

I think it might depend on where you live. In Australia, tradies make bank.

Are you sure this is AI? Normally when I read AI written stuff I zone out because it can go entire paragraphs without saying anything. The sentences here seem short and to the point.

Their previous posts published before ChatGPT seem similar enough. Although, they have way more em dashes and this one has none, almost like they were removed on purpose... lol

I don't know what is real anymore.

I don't particularly care if vibe coding and the like are used for web apps and mobile apps. The quality there has always been poor and gets worse over time. AI slopware is just the new low and in a few years time I'm sure they will find a way to make things even worse.

But for software infrastructure; Kernels, operating systems, compilers, browsers, etc, it is crazy we are even considering AI at it's current ability. If we are going to do that, we need to switch to Ada/SPARK or some other type of formally verifiable system.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but all I want to do right now is escape. It horrifies me to think that one day I may be driving a car with a braking system vibe coded in C++.

I won't hate you for downvoting me, but this is heroin-grade schadenfreude.

> The hype about vibe coding lets everyone think they can now be an engineer.

Programmers are just jealous that they are no longer the only ones that get to play pretend.

I don't know anything about you personally, but most "software engineers" are anything but.

> humans cope pretty well over a wide variety of temperatures.

That's not the problem, though. The problem is almost nothing else can. Livestock, staple crops, pollinating insects, etc.

I only just learned about SunCable. I think using our vast swathes of empty, sun-drenched land to provide power to our Southeast Asian allies is a great idea.

I think most engineer types avoid that kind of analysis on purpose.

Lots of workshops, factories, university research labs, etc. still use old machinery that would be a huge waste of money to replace just because the computer that controls it runs Windows 95. In some cases it can't be replaced because the company that created the software, drivers, or IO cards is long gone.
