They don’t need the service anymore anyway. The job is done. We’re bombing Iran.

It’s not realistic to expect no AI assistance in coding in 2026.

It’s also not a stand-in for a human. There’s a huge field of gray where it’s unclear how much of it was fully vibe coded vs how much is carefully hand reviewed and/or written.

I’ve been a professional developer for decades and I’ve done both. Obviously I’ve hand coded stuff for many years. The fully vibe coded stuff is personal, to test and learn the capabilities of the tech. My professional stuff I watch much more closely, and I’m much more targeted in what I’m having the AI do.

That said, if I were gonna use this I’d actually review the code. I’m not recommending this guy’s stuff, but you can’t rule it out on the basis of ai assistance alone.

That and Europe is afraid to put boots on the ground. They prefer appeasement and half-hearted sanctions.

Even then, there wasn’t perfect overlap between the racist border patrol guys and the literal nazi gangs. Now there is.

Wait, what?

This isn’t “what they always were”. There were problems before, absolutely. But now they’ve hired explicitly and intentionally from Nazi gangs.

Your analogy implies they were trying to fix things. They were trying to break them.

It’s going to get much, much worse. Ellison has bought all the traditional media, and social media is going to be overrun with AI comments pushing talking points. It’s really not hard to get AI to say the same thing in slightly different ways 10,000 times. And it’s going to work. It’s pretty easy for 10,000 “people” to bully you off of making contrary comments on Lemmy.

I’m almost tempted to get ahead of it. If you can’t beat it, join them? Maybe I should see if my AI bots can scream louder than the malicious AI bots. Of course I won’t have quite the same VPN resources as a nation state.

It’s not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they’re irresponsible.

They’re not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today’s problem.

I mean, yeah. They’re the only ones trying to hold out some reasonable constraints.

But why when they’re clearly doing what they want anyway.

More likely they just got hit.

Yeah, but it might take years for these slop companies to actually collapse under the weight of their own tech debt. Do you know how many quarters that is!

It’s a teen drama mostly aimed at teens, but with a sex scene.

Watch episode 6, skip the rest.

And again, with the revelations is quite tame. There’s that whole Lake Michigan thing.

That’s not how taxes and charity works.

If you spend $100 minutes on charity and “write it off”, that saves you $30 on taxes. You’re still down $70.

(You only can claim itemized deductions if you have more than, roughly $12k of them, 24k if you’re married.)

I don’t think awareness, testing, or mitigation of radon was common until about 2000.

People still play this one. http://mud.arctic.org/

Though I didn’t mean it has to necessarily be text-based. More that that ancestral path was more interesting than the WoW one. This is what EverQuest was born from.

One of the bigger differences is that not everything was questing. You just explored, and part of your motivation to level up was the ability to explore places that were previously inaccessible.

Here’s a free one for you.

Discard pretty much anything learned from or after World of Warcraft. That game warped the genre for decades, largely for the worse.

Go back to MUDs. Iterate from there.

It’s not that it’s a new concept. It’s that boys definitely are referred to as “males”. In years past it was probably more common than hearing “females”, though recent trends (incels) have likely changed that. It’s a nitpick that stuck out to me also, but it’s a small point from a more important larger point being made by a 15 year old. Maybe someone should have caught that in editing, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. And we can afford to give the kid that much leeway.

Sure, that’s off.

She’s 15. Take the value out of the article.
