OK that's fair. And also it's not my intent to blame AI for all problems of software culture. Just seems in many ways we're going backwards as an industry.

This is now multiple times over multiple post threads where you've replied to literally whatever I have said that is critical of LLMs and directly contradicted it. I don't wish to continue such fruitless conversations.

As I alluded to, when that's the case it's still now agentic coding to blame because of the diversion of focus. Companies such as Microsoft, instead of improving their existing human-based craft, introduce literal roadblocks to the improvement of craft both in terms of time/resources and also in terms of corporate culture.

The acceleration of agentic coding and the plummet in software quality & reliability aren't two separate stories. They're the same story. Even if a particular bug/problem can't be traced back to a slop source, the proliferation of slop is itself a net drag on software teams and leads to overall deskilling and focus diversion.

We have a duty as industry professionals to fight back, say no, and make sure companies are aware this "new normal" is completely and utterly unacceptable.

Yeah, but the difference is good server mods will try to fight back against that just like they would spam of any sort. Meanwhile, Meta is literally handing people tools to create slop! OpenAI has a slop-only "social" platform! 😵‍💫

Corporate social media run by Big Tech. This isn't really a problem on community-run services because we, the people, aren't putting up with this crap. 😂

Thank god for the fediverse!

There could be an interesting version of a "metaverse" in the form of a persistent VR networked world people can have effects on, but a "good" version of it would probably look a lot like the open web & fediverse in topology. Which is unlikely to be built by any corporation because it would lack all of the necessary control & finance they need. 🫠

I'm imagining the meme of the giant bicep guys interlocking arms and it's Progressivism + Fundamentalism, and right in between is AI Jesus.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm just glad the comments were removed by the moderators…wildly offensive. 🤨

What the fuck are you even talking about.

[–] jaredwhite@humansare.social 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The OP's thread you are entering into is talking about the word agenetic.

Yeah, the music industry has always been highly exploitative. There was a brief period of awesomeness in the late 90s/early aughts where indie music found real success through the Internet. How times have changed…so much for the worse. 😭
