It’s a poison pill. We can say we want to turn it off to check to see if anyone can still think, but they’re inventing it to turn us all into mindless dolts, so, turning it off kind of defeats their purposes.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

As a software engineer, please do.
I've actively started doing tickets manually again. Just reviewing is exhausting, and yes, in part because I'm overwhelmed by what I don't understand. I'm somewhat new in our codebase and letting AI do all the work means I'll never get to know it in depth. That means I'm not meeting the productivity goals managers have already adopted, though. :/
The whiplash between apparent anti-fascism and purity politics on this site is wild.
Or forever.
My sibling has learned incompetence from AI. They show off the things they had AI make and how they never could have done that themselves when they are things they know how to do themselves (make simple graphics and presentations), and would take much less time than they say they spent refining the prompts.
Please turn it off.. I am currently dealing with a ~~bunch of fu~~ well meaning but intellectually challenged individuals at an IT team who just reimaged a machine running the master database for one of their sites based on what a chatbot told them.
Now what concerns me most is that this site operates critical life saving equipment. While our software isn't too important, some minimum wage workers are about to have a very high stress weekend is about the worst that will happen and then early next week it should be back to normal. But the same IT team has access to the life saving equipment as well.
We should turn off AI.
It happened yesterday for about an hour
Can you also turn off LLM generated websites for that week? If so, deal.
The CEO's brains are definitely broken. The rest of us? Mostly fine.
They weren't using their brains before ai, what made you think they would now?
Are YOU using your brain right now?
I wish. I would be forced to write some code again and actually get back what I enjoyed to do.
The global economy is probably already dependent on some Claude code instance updating an Excel spreadsheet on someone’s laptop with a note ”don’t close the lid!” attached to it

I'm afraid you'll find that for some people they don't - just like they didn't work before AI.
You are assuming they worked to begin with.
AI has been an amazing tool for those with no ability to think, to operate slightly like a person who can.
Like a peg leg helps a amutee walk. The issue is they are using to run and claiming they are the fastest.
As a millennial the only positive of LLMs is that younger generations won’t threaten my career
