@TheKiol @shivjam @Hankroyd It’s not a buzzword, you just don’t know what you’re talking about. 🤦‍♂️

@Selphares1 @RyonicSoul @LostGalex @Gokuonthemoon "Turing completeness doesn't erase language specifications."

... you literally have no idea what Turing completeness means, do you?

@lowend115 @MaximumADHD Short of getting a law degree or going into medicine, I'm not sure what will be more lucrative... and even they might not survive much as AI impacts those fields. I do think CS will still be an attractive field, just that it will require paying your dues like in other fields.

@shivjam @Hankroyd Anything that uses an LLM is, by definition, Generative AI. Generative AI is a term that describes the way a model works, not the way it’s used. Diffusion models are also Generative AI, for example. There’s literally a Wikipedia page. https://t.co/dpSGwpE5SU

@lowend115 @MaximumADHD Right, but in what?

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@RyonicSoul @Selphares1 @LostGalex @Gokuonthemoon I didn’t use Rust intentionally… but I’d hazard a guess they’d be pretty annoyed if anyone said they were going to run a Rust app in a CRuby impl. 😅

FWIW, I was attempting to make a point to someone who I had concluded was not technical enough to engage on an academic level.

@RyonicSoul @Selphares1 @LostGalex @Gokuonthemoon If we're being this pedantic: the statement you quoted was about the constraints of a brush and canvas, not programming. That said, language constraints are not ironclad given Turing-completeness, but no one would reimplement Go in Ruby and reasonably choose it over standard Go.

@alexawhereami @bernielomax I've been a professional programmer more than twice as long as you have and started programming before you were born.

Good programmers view generative AI as a tool. We don't worship it, but we also don't vilify it. Calling it a "perversion of the medium" is absolutist drivel.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@lowend115 @MaximumADHD Indeed... if the SWEs can find a role doing something else for more money. I'm not sure what that would be.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@lowend115 @MaximumADHD Other engineers (in the US, different by country) have formal licensing exams and such. If that happens for SWE/CS, I suspect things may match other engineering disciplines. Until then, I imagine supply will exceed demand for junior roles, which will depress salaries.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@lowend115 @MaximumADHD I imagine it will be equivalent to what other industries pay people who can't do the job and require years of additional training. What it definitely won't be is the salaries new grads have grown accustomed to seeing.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@lowend115 @MaximumADHD I think the industry will eventually see the need for a talent pipeline and do what other industries do: CS majors will leave school and make $25K/year and salaries will re-calibrate, ultimately resulting in lower pay on average for everyone.

No a great idea to use dozens of game logos without permission and then say the project "does technically break copyright" but you "believe it's fair use" when the problem is trademark violations and has nothing to do with copyright law. This is why lawyers keep having jobs!

Well, the haters said Steam would take down The Pyramid, and yup. The haters were right.

As of yesterday, Steam failed our app for release next week citing intellectual property issues.

Let it be know, I don’t disagree with them here. (1/?)

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@robin_siufu @kojimahead That’s not the definition of vibe coding. “Vibe coding” implies you don’t even review the code that’s produced, instead just trusting the AI got it right. The second the human actually looks at the code to verify its output is a valid solution, it’s just using the AI as a tool.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@TorreySmith165 @g_dub50 @Gokuonthemoon @LostGalex My point was that some steering is required and that the AI won’t do it on its own. I didn’t mean to imply you had to code by hand, just that a human still needs to be in the loop.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@MaraAltEra @xscroller13 @ServedOnTheRox This is my first exposure to you and I think I love you.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@Stalruth I swear I can feel my brain cells committing seppuku as this discourse wears on.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@heripixel @g_dub50 @Gokuonthemoon @LostGalex You’ve entirely ignored the thread in which you replied where I was making the point that you still need humans in the loop to accomplish maintainability because AI will not do it on its own as a one shot. So… thanks for confirming, I guess?

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@aggadahGothic And everyone is doing it, both pro- and anti-AI. It’s driving me up a wall.

[Tilda Swinton’s haircut @TildasHaircut]

@PhillipWitz It isn’t a monoculture, but engineers in both gaming and other types of work are routinely using AI with success. There are plenty of examples in games where developers are saying exactly that. Sweeney is a meme, but he and others are doing it.
