@luckeyfaraday Plenty of intellectual work is gatekept more than just knowledge, aptitude has always been a major part (which AI makes irrelevant too). Most people couldn't be competent programmers, actuaries, lawyers, etc. no matter how much you'd teach them.
@YakumoLegalist appdata is literally for this purpose. The problem is that modern software generates gigabytes of shit there, not the location.
Writing data to program files would be dumb since it requires admin rights and you'd have to escalate on every launch.
@EZE3D All code should be AI written.
I prefer competent humans over AI to do translation, except those "localizers".
Music, voice, illustrations, 3D models, and video should not be AI-generated.
Text generation is fine for your own use, but don't make other people read it.
@PascalAmpertail All code written from 2025 onwards can be safely assumed to be AI-written by default. Purely unassisted software development is now rare. Easier to disclose no AI use for code when applicable than have boilerplate disclaimers on every piece of software.
@zanyfen Consider the benefit to a family of five if every child can go to school by themselves instead of having to be driven by a parent. Growing up in an unwalkable place also means you're practically under house arrest until you can drive, which is bad for development.
@hua_chonker The purpose of this tax is to make chinese producers import wholesale into EU and sell from EU warehouses instead of sending a gazillion small parcels straight from factories to customer with each parcel having to get through customs.
@satellitedown I will use local when labs figure out how to make models smart without compressing the whole internet into them, and good models start fitting on normal gaming GPUs.
@satellitedown I'd rather pay a $10 a month for opencode go subscription that gives me effectively unlimited deepseek 4.1 than pay thousands for hardware that's only going to be able to host much worse models.
@systemdesignone Not accurate for Latvia.
The salary listed is barely above median for the entire population. Even juniors make more. Seniors make at least double that.
Not at all impressive by western standards, but with the cost of living here, it's life on easy mode.
@TaroTheCerelean I pirated and emulated switch games on PC, and I would have never played them on a switch itself even for free because 30 FPS and low resolution would have made my eyes bleed.
@Iced_IMP@KnawLynx Code is the opposite of art. It doesn't even matter if the code is slop if it does what it's supposed to and is performant.
AI generated art can look objectively amazing visually but turn your product into slop because it's still recognizable that no human thought went into it.
@solopribuilds I love it, actually.
I get to build shit at 10x speed. Years worth of garbage humanslop get fixed in days.
SaaS companies like Adobe are eating shit.
Anyone who can use a computer can build themselves personalized software. Who cares if the code is slop if it works.
