This is a schmozzle. Way too late

Which is useful, because Trump knows he’s going to prison in 2 years.

When you know you’re going to prison, there’s no incentive not to cause chaos to avoid it

He treats Russia better than he treats Australia and Canada… and we’re meant to be allies

It’s wild that we’ve gone from the right wing arguing about Obama’s middle name sounding muslim, to debating what crime of Trump’s is worst. Is it raping kids? Raping women? Tax fraud to gain power? Trying to start a civil war? Bombing a boat and murdering people without due process?

Sadly, this isn’t even the worst thing he’s done

I don’t think he would chicken out. Trump has no problem raping women and committing fraud. And no problem bombing civilians

If anything, it would empower him even more

For him, the only thing he cares about is whether it benefits him. In his mind, this does because it makes him look less weak.

He sees people as tools, not human beings

The entire purpose is to spread fear, so nobody defies Trump over the next 2 years (or beyond that). This really is like North Korea now. Congrats. This is what happens when you elect a dangerous narcissist with dementia (people who knew him even strongly warned about him)

Its a good thing you guys didn’t vote for Kamala. That would have been horrible /s

Huh? They’re not anti intellectuals. Do your research /s

Obviously the 10 mins they spend on Facebook listening to a health guru who sells vitamin c tablets and self help books is equivalent to 5 years of medical school and a PhD.

It’s definitely not their fault. Trump assures us it’s “the radical lefties”

Because I was cross posting to a bunch of other communities which were too specific. Like c/Ubuntu, c/debian, etc

Also, why not?

They’ll be subsidised a bit. But I’m practice, not to the extent that electricity costs

At this point, the cheapest cars being sold are basically EVs

The good news is that the world’s biggest idiots will refuse to switch to electric. And they’ll be financially penalized long term

And it will help benefit those who adopt evs

Yeah, and that’s the stuff people don’t talk about

I have used it to do a lot of refactoring too. Vs code has been able to do basic refactoring for a while, but, it is also good for splitting up code into different files as an example (as long as you use a plan, it works well)

But, that’s because it’s also been trained how to do these tasks. And it isn’t really doing much with the code for them

The vibe coding thing IS bad though… The code being stolen isn’t the code generally written by big companies (because that’s in private repos)… It’s also stealing GPL / MIT code too, and not crediting it. And then the vibe coding bros take it, boast they made it, don’t give credit, don’t use it to improve AI, and they sell that code

I’d have no issue if it credited the original projects, but it doesn’t… And thats why nobody can hold them responsible.

The ecological harm is a fair point though. They’re setting up gas plants to run these things, instead of forcing renewables.

Honestly, there are a few thoughts about this (and yes, some will be unpopular what I say).

1. There is the ethics problem of how LLM is trained. It is a theft machine. Thats why companies love it, because they can steal work and profit
2. However, people WRONGLY assume AI is exclusively for Vibe coding. When used by Senior/real developers, it is super useful for writing tests and code reviews. Some of the issues I’ve found in our old code from 10 years ago, were never reported (or, we had reports, but always assumed it was something else). There are tools for code review (and have been for a long time), but AI has stepped it up. In well designed / stricter languages, you can avoid a lot of errors that AI is good at detecting, but, it is still super valuable for this stuff.
3. Also, good for security testing too.
4. The biggest issue are untrained slop cryptobros, who throw money at it, and can’t test (or understand) their code. Then it wastes other devs time reviewing it and identifying the 50 regressions it causes.
5. We’ve had cases where I’ve had to argue with customers that Claude is telling them bullshit. From the support side, it has made things WORSE.

I’d argue it isn’t actually a good thing necessarily to ban using it as a tool entirely from senior devs.

The biggest issue at the moment are arrogant junior cryptobros who are too lazy to learn to code, and just want to throw money at the issue. And that wastes everyone’s time.

What we really need is a ethical AI model that only uses completely open code, pays people for their code (instead of just stealing it). and a way to ensure it is only used by developers who can use it properly. Ideally, only allow that code to be used for open source too

I actually wouldn’t want to see Gnome/System76 completely ban it. What I would want to see is for it to be permitted for approved devs with VERY specific guidelines dictating how it can be used.

Looks like there is an angry cryptobro downvoting responses who dare talk shit about claude in this thread lol

We had a customer demand support for a competitors product, because Google AI told them that we owned that company.

I’m going to lose my mind if I get any more support tickets where someone has cut and pasted the output from Claude instead of telling me what the problem actually was.

My job has basically turned into guessing what bad info Claude has given
