The amount I have lost in taxes alone would have set me and my family up for life.
The only question is would I have been paid as much if the cost of living was not so high? And would less taxes had an effect on the cost of living and what I got paid.
The problem with taxes is I have no choice. And when over 50% of my income goes to taxes it feels like robbery.
The tax system is specific designed to also keep those with more at odds with those who have less. Otherwise we would vote takes out in a heartbeat. We can’t really talk about taxes as one people until we all pay the same %. A fair share is not knows when more % simply because I made more. A % already bakes in fairness.
So I propose our first tax reform is everybody pays 51% on all forms of income. One term later we would have true tax reform that actually made sense.
Maybe what we are seeing is us internet dwellers being exposed to wiring styles of humanity we had not been exposed to ?
So they goal is to hype up the dangers real or not so high that they forbid others from doing what they are doing because they are the only ones who can safely do it.
Simply put you still need good practices to produce working good code with AI.
Oddly what I have found best is patterns that many would cringe and demeans unit test and integration test.
Yes I still vibe unit test and integration test, but more than ever I have to put on my PM and QA hat, even more so with web dev.
For me the only part of the process that has changed is I don’t write the code. I still setup environments to run the code, I still manually poke at things I suspect will be fragile. But most importantly I still always run the software before shipping it.
It’s more complicated than what is being touted as fact.
In most jurisdictions creation is legal, it’s publishing them that is not. In some jurisdictions threatening to publish them is also illegal. Most jurisdictions that have a creation policy apply to doing deepfakes they sexualize minors, which likely would have been illegal to possess under other laws.
Then we have a consent issue. Creating and publishing them could be entirely legal if the subject consents to such.
So yah. It’s not “deep fakes are illegal, let’s arrest everybody !!!”
To be clear, creation is likely legal, publishing not so much.
Additionally, intent is important with regard to AI hacking.
It really comes down to the individual. Those who are good with CS degrees would likely be good without them. The majority of those who picked CS as a degree because “it pays well” are truly awful. Only a small handful end up enjoying and understand how to write code and make good software.
This has affected me a lot though, I know what is going on in songs, but can't ever remember the right words, but still some how end up sining stuff that means the same thing :/
I my self and teams members are slowly reading less code and requiring agents to prove things work the way we want in other ways.
