"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The integration of AI into regular, deterministic software bothers me a lot. As a developer, I want my IDE to be consistent so I can feel comfortable that autocompletion and other functions do what I expect. But recently, and at an accelerating rate, I find the IDE to make inconsistent autocompletions - often suggesting a lot more code, which often contains errors and non-existant references.
I could use AI every now and then for work, but I wish it only helped when I'm explicit about it. Currently, it kills workflow and sucks out energy both from me and the grid.
Yes, this I feel is the crux of the situation. The industry is trying to hammer a probabilistic solution into deterministic holes. I mean, it’s no wonder people keep fucking up their shit with openclaw. If have an agent, it should do exactly what I tell it.
Agreed. It's a damn shame, because there are a lot of interesting ideas at play, lost in the miasma of geopolitics and acceleration. If only we could slow down, build/scale probabilistic hardware, and carefully test and validate which problems are best suited to each mode of compute.
But nah, let's be rapacious, anthropomorphize "AI" into an awe-inspiring entity, and thrust it into all the orifices.
