@SuslovB @simpsoka That's the new feature, enjoy it.

@centepeed @cupcakedoesart @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus Prove that AI is fundamentally bad and causes harm. It's a tool. It depends on how it's used.
Otherwise, let us destroy all knives and hammers.

@MEPHITIDAES @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus I am just sad for people who haven't had the chance to experience AI making their life better.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@MEPHITIDAES @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus You are right. Whenever I set up my AI to do my actual job for me (which it does verifiably well and 10x faster than I do) - I do feel like I'm at the next stage of evolution already. As a bonus, I can do it from my phone from anywhere just with voice input.

@parlancetfish @cupcakedoesart @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus So, real professionals use AI to get a sizable productivity boost in their work, while shit peddlers also use AI to get a boost in shit peddling - has been my point from the beginning.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@parlancetfish @cupcakedoesart @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus I have not fallen for any marketing. I have been writing my own neural nets and chatbots way before chatgpt was a thing. I used gpt-3 when it was in closed beta.
I use AI everyday to solve real problems for me, as do many other real people, including scientists - google alphafold

[vampire @hlibr_]

@parlancetfish @cupcakedoesart @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus Unfortunately. That's the same divide that exists in videogames, for example. Some people release good games, and some companies release "products". Or that mcdonalds ceo thing.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@janejuliaeleven @NovaRush18 In a fair world, that person should become the one in charge of the AI that is doing that person's job.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@janejuliaeleven @NovaRush18 But if an AI actually (and I mean actually, not some exec's wet dream) is or gets capable of taking over somebody's job completely - that's a good thing, right? The person now has time for other things, and the job is still getting done.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@NovaRush18 Jobs don't give people food. Food is a natural resource, it literally grows from the ground, and it is tightly controlled and divided.
Jobs gatekeep people from food.
If you want to eat - you have to become someone's slave for 8 hours a day.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@Guts4Dinner @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus Ideally, this should be a legal issue. Not everything needs to be burned down, only the training data.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@Guts4Dinner @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus So the problem is the unauthorized use, not the technology itself. The technology can be trained ethically, e.g. on creative commons art only (in case of image generative models)

If we take this aspect away, I see nothing wrong with the future where we have autocooking machines.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@janejuliaeleven @NovaRush18 But a job is a man-made construct. Food isn't.
So maybe let's focus our attention on why some people are starving, and some people have more money that they know what to do with?
Incidentally, those are the same people that give other people jobs.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@NovaRush18 What's the problem with taking jobs away from people?
I, for one, am thrilled to not have to do labor anymore.
The problem is not "taking away jobs", the problem is wage slavery in our society.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@Guts4Dinner @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus I mean.... when a tool like that comes around, you will be against it too, when you can clearly taste and judge the result?

And yes, as an actual real life programmer I am qualified to make a judgement on the quality of the work that it produces for me.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@Guts4Dinner @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus I obviously keep track of the quality of my work. I don't tell Claude or whatever to "build me an app", I divide it into tasks and give AI very precise and technical instructions. It's still work. The result is the same.

[vampire @hlibr_]

@Guts4Dinner @BULLETSYMPHONY @Eternatus It's not a tool for enshittification, it's a tool. Depends on how you use it.
People are using it for shitty reason - what a surprise! Welcome to 2026.
