Offended by a simple comment but calls that person a snowflake. Prime loser mentality 👍 good work, snowflake.

I also appreciate the increased security

This hasn’t been true for a long, long time. Mac was only ever more secure than windows because not enough people used them to make them worthwhile attack vectors. Nowadays, iOS sees just as many vulnerabilities as every other popular OS.

Which is a general statement and not dealing with your specific circumstance. If a tool works for you, by all means keep using it.

Absolute nonsense. Do people talk shit about hammers because some people keep hitting their hands with them? Do people complain about how useless ladders are, as one of the single most dangerous items in any household?

I don’t think we should be putting these tools in the hands of junior devs - as the studies show, it hinders their productivity and learning. But to generally claim that they are bad tools with no upsides is just as ridiculous as the strawman you set up.

What about my comment made you believe I was using gut feelings to judge anything? My ticket completion rate, number of tickets, story points, and number of projects completed all point to massive productivity gains.

Anyone blindly having AI write their code is an absolute moron.

Anyone with decent experience (5-10 years, maybe 10+?) can absolutely fucking skyrocket their output if they properly set up their environments and treat their agents as junior devs instead of competent programmers. You shouldn’t trust generated code any more than you trust someone fresh out of college, but they produce code in seconds instead of weeks.

I have tripled my output while producing more secure code (based on my security audits), safer code (based on code coverage and security audits), and less error-prone code (based on production logs and our unchanged QA process).

Now, the ethical issues and environmental issues, I 100% can get behind. And I have no idea what companies are going to do in 10 years when they have to replace people like me and haven’t been hiring or training replacements. But the productivity and quality debates are absolutely ridiculous, as long as a strong dev is behind the wheel and has been trained to use the tools.

That doesn’t make it a shitty camera, that makes it unsecured. Those are very different problems.

A honest person has right to live without being tracked.

The implied corrolary here is that a dishonest person doesn’t have this right? How is one determined to be dishonest?

If the lens is getting wet, it’s an awfully shitty surveillance camera.

How on earth is that not part of development? I don’t personally mind that they used it in that way, but it is not debatable that they lied and have been fraudulently marketing the game. Follow the rules of the fucking contests you enter.

If I only made a single cut with scissors and then switched to an xacto knife, did I never use scissors?

I don’t understand your argument at all. Your first comment seems to disagree with the ban, but this one explicitly agrees with it.

Your example is weird because it doesn’t exist. There is no restrictions on how chess players train, only how they compete. All you’re doing is building a strawman, not an analogy.

And to be clear, they didn’t get banned for using AI. They got banned for lying about using AI. You can agree or disagree with the rule itself, but it’s not debatable whether it was in place when they entered the contest or whether the studio lied about it.

I dont understand the purity tests we are putting artists through

I love how “don’t break the rules and lie about it when entering a contest” is a purity test, now. Y’all are fucking wild.

Or just don’t lie about something that is against the rules for the contest you’re entering? Seems easy enough.

Is there a rule that chess players can’t train with caffeine?

Of course not. It’s not at all the same.

It’s not because they used AI, it’s because they lied and fraudulently marketed (and continue to fraudulently market) the game as never having used AI.

Hahahahahaha, he thinks none of this data will be sold 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 it’s literally the only reason to spend all this money developing it

It’s opt-out, so the majority of users who don’t even know about it will keep it on. That means Mozilla gets to steal their data and use it for profit, even if they don’t interact with it directly.

Too little, too late. I already switched and won’t be returning as long as the CEO is still employed there.

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo can suck a dick and die in a fire. I hope your company fails due to your disastrous decisions.

I definitely want my complete incorruptible government to be in charge of the training and maintenance of the national knowledge repository, this sounds like a great idea with no chance of negative results.

At least Google just wants to steal and sell your data. Trump actively wants you to suffer.

Depends entirely what you’re doing. There’s no reason you can’t read/write at 10-15 fps, but it’s going to start to be very frustrating to scroll through websites, as a negative example.

Every major tech company that has laid off devs and will absolutely continue doing so. Smart devs gain insane amounts of productivity out of it, and that’s only accelerating.

Entry-level hiring has plummeted, with no signs of that changing. They don’t care what happens in 5-10 when they need new mid- or senior-level devs. It won’t be their problem by then.
