If I am mansplaining, or reply guying, or whatever, let me know before you block me.
I want to be better.

@dieworkwear I feel like there's a missing arm size between 1 and 2.

I think AI coding hype follows roughly four stages:

1. Amazement

You try it and can’t believe how much code it generates from a few prompts.

2. Expansion

You start more and more projects because shipping suddenly feels cheap and fast.

This is also the phase where people start convincing everyone around them:

- coworkers
- management
- friends in other companies

because nobody wants to “fall behind” in 6–12 months.

That creates a massive snowball/FOMO effect.

3. The grind phase

You realize the generated code has architectural issues, sloppy mistakes, weird abstractions, duplicated logic, broken edge cases, etc.

So you start:

- re-prompting
- switching models
- increasing reasoning effort
- reviewing fixes
- generating fixes for previous fixes

And suddenly you spend your days reviewing AI-generated pull requests instead of building software.

4. Realization

You realize AI coding increases output much faster than it increases certainty.

The code still needs:

- review
- testing
- ownership
- architectural understanding
- long-term maintenance

Usually by expensive senior engineers.

And the interesting thing is:
this whole cycle can take many months or even more than a year because people become socially and professionally invested in the narrative themselves.

Once teams, managers, and entire companies have been convinced that this is the future, it becomes psychologically and politically very hard to later say:

“Actually, the ROI is much lower than we expected.”

Need the Pope to release an encyclical against Teams calls

[𝕏qole @qole]

I'm as tired of the Butlerian Jihad comments as I am of the Skynet / Terminator comments. Generative AI isn't anywhere near human intelligence, and it won't be in the foreseeable future. Although... These vast data centres are the perfect place to gestate a simple consciousness.

[Mountain Ğeneral @MountainGenera]

Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work

The Pope speaks out against the myth of meritocracy AND the AI bubble in one document?!

The atheism leaving my body the moment the Pope starts talking about how AI is an affront to God and the new Tower of Babel

The Pope's critique of the myth of meritocracy

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

I'm constantly citing "Finding The Money," but I can't link to it because it's behind a paywall. Is there anywhere that people can watch it for free?

RFK Jr claims a flu shot damaged his vocal cords, a side effect which has never happened to anyone else. The flu shot also caused him to cheat on his wife, shoot heroin, drink heavily and make this face:

@PretendEditor The excavator is too big. You have to play with the parameters, to find the perfect sized excavator for the number of trucks available. 😂

@GeneralAntilles I also have a no-ip domain, but it's cooler to have my own subdomain. It turns out that if you have a cheap hosting plan with DreamHost, you can point a subdomain at any arbitrary IP address...

[𝕏qole @qole]

@GeneralAntilles I self host, my ISP only changes my IP address every few months, so I just manually update the DNS through my domain host.
