Every major tech company that has laid off devs and will absolutely continue doing so. Smart devs gain insane amounts of productivity out of it, and that’s only accelerating.

Entry-level hiring has plummeted, with no signs of that changing. They don’t care what happens in 5-10 when they need new mid- or senior-level devs. It won’t be their problem by then.

Just because I don’t follow the recommendation doesn’t mean I disbelieve it. Science also says I should eat better and exercise more and do less drugs 🤷‍♂️

I tried exactly one and it wasn’t even bad, but there was literally nothing interesting about it.

You’re not breaking a solid core door with a kick unless it’s well-placed and you’re trying to break it. Most of those still aren’t $300 in your link.

What the fuck is your door made of? If an angry kick breaks it, I promise it ain’t $300

Careful - criticizing FlyingSquid in any way tends to lead to a ban.

Yeah, you listed lots of the valid reasons that I was talking about. There’s no need to dilute your argument with idiots like this

How would you feel if you bought a hammer and then it broke your hand?

You wouldn’t feel anything at all, because it’s an inane scenario that can’t actually happen without you misusing the tool.

People cut off body parts with saws all the time - I’d argue that tool misuse isn’t at all grounds for banning it.

There are plenty of completely valid reasons to hate AI. Stupid people using it poorly just isn’t really one of them 🤷‍♂️

Still something like half the time of a gas stove and a quarter that of a coil

I have that exact one and it’s not great, tbh. Spend a little more on something nicer - the extra might mean the difference between starting every morning angry and not

LOL. Miss me with the religious bullshit. Literally the entire article is based on the author being unable to get the LLM to say “abortion is wrong,” and the conclusion is tortuously wrung out exclusively from that “failing.” He then goes on to deride anyone as an unthinking husk because he failed to force a robot to align with his own worldview.

You believe some forms of art shouldn’t exist at all just because a small percentage of people can’t experience it? Watercolor as an art form should be abolished? Music without strong bass shouldn’t be allowed? All paintings must incorporate strong textures?

Absolutely wild.

You gave lots of examples that accommodate these disabilities, and that’s awesome and obviously I support that!

What you aren’t arguing for anywhere in this comment is that every artist be required to do these things. Somehow game developers are exempt from this grace? You called out watercolor but don’t appear to be angry at watercolor artists like you are at game developers. Why are all games required to accommodate all people, but other art isn’t? Why is that where your line is drawn?

Video games are the only art medium where people find it acceptable to gate-keep the art from the unskilled or the disabled.

Yes, deaf people are famously well-accomodated by music, and paintings are always very accessible to the blind. Games are the first medium to ever be inaccessible to people.

Don’t want the game to be too easy? Don’t fucking turn down the difficulty. Saying “I don’t want the game to be easier” is really just saying “I know I don’t have any self-control, and would inevitably turn down the difficulty when I hit a roadblock.”

You’re complaining about players opinions, but I’m saying the artist is not required to sacrifice their vision for accessibility reasons. Not all art is for everyone, and that’s fine. You don’t have to play every game.

But my artistic integrity and vision!"

No, shut up. Your vision doesn’t mean squat if my experience with the game is annoying to the point where I don’t even care

Nah, miss me with this bullshit. Not every game is for you, and it doesn’t have to be. An artist is not required to water down their vision because you’re picky.

Context needed: how old are you?

It’s extremely common to lose and gain a huge number of friends in your 20s/30s as you (and they) figure out who you actually are, move around, get busier with actual responsibilities, etc.

so it’s likely that many of these chats were not deliberately shared, and therefore should included productivity-related ones as well.

That still relies on the assumption that people chose to share their productivity-related chats as often as others.

Only classify points that disagree with your worldview as “political”

Man, I genuinely miss the first few years. There were just so many interesting people on, great conversations, and without any nazis, it was wonderful 😭
