Hey @RubyConfAT 👋
Quick question: will there be a slot available for lightning talks at the conf? Thanks!

[Fabio @callmesangio]

@Itsallgoodman3 Vai manda!

@jdxcode Right, makes sense. I was thinking more of a custom tap to sidestep Homebrew Core approval of updates, actually, but I understand that also could become a burden to maintain. Just consider me a +1 on the idea should you change your mind. Cheers!

[Fabio @callmesangio]

@jdxcode hey! 👋🏻 I really enjoy using your tools, so thank you! I’m reaching out to ask if you plan to distribute all of them via Homebrew at some point. Installing via mise is convenient but it would be nice having them together with other software in a global Brewfile. Thanks!

Developers are splitting into 2 camps:

1. Makers love what the code creates
2. Craftsmen love understanding how it works

AI is a cheat code for makers. But for craftsmen it's a tool, not a replacement. Figure out which one you are. It changes everything about how you use AI.

@Itsallgoodman3 Aggiungo che ho visto qualche sua intervista o video sui social, e devo dire che la trovo intollerabilmente odiosa.

[Fabio @callmesangio]

@Itsallgoodman3 ah no ma guarda, ripeto, sono uno spettatore semplice, vedo gli alieni alla tele e mi gaso subito. volevamo andare al cinema a vedere predator badlands ma siamo via l’unica settimana in cui portanova lo tiene in proiezione 😑

[Fabio @callmesangio]

@Itsallgoodman3 chiaro, solita storia trita e ritrita vista mille altre volte. eh, pace 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Fabio @callmesangio]

@Itsallgoodman3 ah! peccato. si vede che è difficile andare sempre a cannone con un franchise così importante con cui misurarsi. però finché ci sono gli xenomorfi in televisione a me va bene tutto!

[Fabio @callmesangio]

@Itsallgoodman3 l’abbiamo solo iniziato ma è già una bomba, poi con Vince vado a occhi bendati.
poi stiamo guardando alien earth e anche lì c’è del godimento

Painfully true.

Every time an AI uses the first person pronoun "I" in reference to itself -- it is a lie. There is no I in there. The AI is not a being. The AI is a table of numbers.
Every time an AI uses that first person pronoun to refer to itself it is a lie being told by the creators, and their employers, the companies that offer that AI. And the lie is horrific.
Every time an AI uses a "special voice" like "the cheery assistant" or "the romantic male" it is another lie being told by the creators and their employers. The AI is not experiencing the cheeriness, nor the romance. It's all fake. It's all a lie.
We, programmers, understand this. We can see through the lies. We may even chuckle at the skill and facility with which the lies are told.
But the everyday layman, and especially children, don't have our insight. They don't innately know that they are being lied to. And when those lies go wrong, a lot of harm can be done.
As a society we need to recognize the harm these lies are doing, and impress upon the creators that we will hold them accountable for that harm.

Remember the internet .com bubble? During the bubble companies hired programmers with reckless abandon in a futile attempt to get ahead of the curve. When the bubble popped they found they had over-invested in programmers and had to freeze hiring and lay them off. That lasted for a year or so.

Now we are in the AI bubble. That it _is_ a bubble is evident by the "stupid money" being paid as recruiting bonuses to AI "experts". (e.g. Meta agreed to pay a 24 year old "expert" $250M)

The effect of this bubble is a hiring freeze for programmers. Executives hope/fear that AI will allow them to lay off lots of programmers so they don't dare hire any right now.

When this bubble pops (and it will, probably within a year or so) these companies will find that they are _under_-invested in programmers and will have to start hiring them with reckless abandon.

History repeats itself; but sometime in the mirror.
