There is something inside of you that cannot be satisfied with anything but the right thing.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

Maintenance is not (just) something like operational tasks. Obviously machines can reduce the amount of repetitive work we have to do in service to maintenance but that work is the least meaningful, most mechanistic part of maintenance. Maintenance requires care and machines (including LLMs) cannot care. They cannot even be intelligent because that requires embodiment. So all I'm saying is that what we are currently calling AI cannot maintain anything, even when the models improve until it is literally impossible for them to improve any more, they will still only be perfect information-processing machines, to which we will at best put to use toward maintenance in mechanistic ways.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

To the degree that humans are bad at maintenance, it is because we mistake the quantitative for the qualitative and it will be the LLM which can "perfect" that mistake. Creating the ultimate simulacrum. The ultimate zombie. The perfect appearance of the working thing.

Unless humans take responsibility for the more fundamental part of maintenance, which is that there is something worth maintaining in the first place and that we are in such deep intimate connection with whatever that thing is that we know (in all the ways one can know) whether or not it is being maintained in accordance with the Logos and not an imitation perfected to hijack and suppress our discernment.

So maintenance will never be a "non-issue" as it rests at the pivot point between the proper relationship between our power and wisdom in the act of creation.

Back to the OP... that will look like going from, "I vibe code everything," to "I can't maintain this and I lack the knowledge and wisdom to know why this isn't working quite right or even how to direct or decode the LLM to fix it," to "I think someone who can take responsibility for the maintenance of the thing I find useful should be the one to do this."

@RodAHowell @giordanorandone The models are only improving unidimensionally, and even there they're already degrading because of the ouroboros effect. Excepting code because it lives in a bounded space and relies on the quantitative. But maintenance (and responsibility) is a qualitative condition.

@wolffdew @shipitniko Some people are social stewards/hearth-keepers and some are not. Do not make the mistake of thinking this is one-sided and therefore not worth it.

@levelsio One of the funniest things about this image is how the rims/hubcaps are hidden because its one of the only obvious aesthetic differences left and it confuses people from seeing the homogenization.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@dhh Much of the hate messaging seems fake. Too similar in tone coupled with incoherent details.

@MattBraynard Multiple TVs in the background, little to no arcade games, cheap recreation-quality materials everywhere...nostalgia slop from a corporate restaurant management company. "We" do not want this.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

Creation has a vertical and horizontal dual-modality of immanent-immanent, and sits between the immanent-omniscient of chaos and the immanent-transcendent of order.

@SeedOilDsrspctr This news is at least a decade old.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@privatetalky All slop.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@Insanevidz_ Yes.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@dantypo Generally called a "useful idiot."

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@Mangan150 @davidsirota @SuperbubbleCo Right next to the signal to eat real food, of which the cost is rising dramatically relative to the cost of a 90-inch TV. But at least we can further retard our ability to notice anything of consequence, right? Two strikes of irony to you today.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@Mangan150 @davidsirota @SuperbubbleCo Price has been disconnected from reality (real cost) for so long that one can mistake abundance of consumer tech for affordability of (meaningful) essentials. The system downplays this, which you're ironically illustrating.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@Mangan150 @davidsirota @SuperbubbleCo Both are true.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@elneurozorro Good. This is an abomination to our connection to food.

[Jason 🔱 @exploriter]

@shivamhwp @kentcdodds Somehow that's worse.

@dok2001 Isn't the era of the all-in-one CMS over?

@Casebradford @NoahRyanCo This is true. It’s also true that a man of integrity living in a healthy society does not do what he is doing (and does not feel the need to). Obviously we live in a very unhealthy society. I think people can sense the dissonance but cant quite figure out where it’s coming from.
