I can't be the only one accidentally hitting return when typing something on the phone and having random linebreaks in posts or replies

Why don't post composers in social media apps show (at least optionally) non-printing characters like spaces or paragraph marks?

@parsingphase I have it, I need to read it lol

@glent @n_dimension@infosec.exchange Trying to show the obvious to AI stans is like trying to convince Christians they should be nice to immigrants.

I’m running the latest and greatest self-learning agentic NI (Natural Intelligence) that automatically blocks people with bad opinions

@reimar a lot of people, especially in tech, detest actual creativity and assign zero value to
It. It’s pretty sad.

No, computers won’t replace humans to write code for themselves.

Please stop with this nonsense.

What we will see though is tremendous losses in productivity as deskilled programmers will get less and less education and practice—and will take longer and longer to make broken AI-generated code work, as AI models regress from eating their own generated shit when being trained on.

Eventually AI companies will finally run out of investors to scam—and will disappear or get so expensive that the “prompt engineers” will be asked to not use AI anymore.

What’s gonna happen then?

We’re losing a whole generation of programmers to this while thought leaders in our field are talking about “inevitability” and are jerking off to sci-fi-nostalgia-fueled fantasies of AGI.

I’m more and more assuming that companies using “AI” despite it not working is la con to force people to work more at less pay (“Why isn’t this done? AI makes you twice as productive and require fewer skills!”)

"If you're a single person who can't do art, how else can you get an image for your blog post other than AI?"

This is a thing someone actually asked me.

@grumpasaurus I have the Duxtop 1800W (on Amazon) for glamping trips (we have a travel trailer), and it works really great. You can expect it making ringing noises with pans and pots but it's not super annoying. Easy to clean.

For the love of science, why are so many people use AI-generated slop images for their blog posts and in their presentation.

It literally never looks good, doesn't add anything and makes you look like someone who love shitty images.

Stop.

@RegGuy yes, equipment is Pioneer

What else is new? We got a 3D printer! Printed this cassette holder.
