@dalias @Tijn @baldur I think this framing is a sort of victim blaming. It is not the individual developers who must love and care about the craft. It is the organizations who must mandate, validate, and ultimately incentivize quality. When all funding for architecture, design, QA and maintenance are cut and everything is left to the developer it is an organizational failure, not an individual one. I don’t need my plumber to love their craft, I just need them to follow code and pass inspection. I do agree that this was a problem long before LLMs came along.

@patrickcmiller Maybe we should try taxing billionaires so that NASA can fund a Hubble replacement, and the Google CEO can’t.

@cstross @rysiek @quinn And it’s not even practical; what, are we going to keep uploading the entire internet into space for AI training? With basically 5G bandwidth? Not to mention that equipment inside data centers is constantly burning out and needing to be replaced. Who is going to do that, a bunch of Neo robots? 🙄 It’s all just so stupid.

@evan So the Hindenburg would be an example of non-fungible. Seems right.
