I think the question of speed is entirely tangential to what's being discussed here, to the point of being inconsequential. We were discussing whether AI makes everyone's life worse. My point is that I can do stuff now that I could not before, and that makes my life better. It's a very useful tool for me. It also doesn't matter to me whether it makes me faster or slower at stuff I already could do before (but if it makes the experience more pleasant - sure, why not).
It's fine (though a bit unhealthy) if lemmings want to bury their head in the sand, pat each other on the back and try to convince each other that nobody can ever possibly find the evil machine useful, and those who claim they do are just lying idiot AI-bros, but if even my non-technical parents use it - you've already lost the war, sorry.
A lot of bold "I am smart you are stupid arararara" statements rooted in pure anger and angst rather than trying to have a conversation. Though I never expected less from lemmings, I knew where I was posting ;^)
I don't need to prove the validity of my experience to you or convince you of anything, but I'm happy to talk. If you are going to immediately resort to personal attacks then your ""arguments"" are not worth replying to, I'm not about to have a shout match with you, I'd rather go do something more interesting. Tho feel free to continue shouting into the void if it makes it easier for you, I guess?
If that study is the only thing you have as an argument you won't get very far (though it is worth it to read the thoughts of some of the participants: https://domenic.me/metr-ai-productivity/).
It is very helpful to me as a developer: I can now write entire custom tools, one-off scripts and services for myself I otherwise wouldn't (because it would take too much time and too much effort), it catches a lot of logic bugs in code reviews as a first pass, it's good at generating unit-tests, etc, etc.
But coding is not all there is. To me as an immigrant, AI-based translation is a godsend. Same for writing scary-looking letters to government officials or applications for apartment viewings. Same for learning a language, actually. When I was looking for a new job - I used ChatGPT's automation to filter out crappy job postings and parse feedback on Glassdoor for the interesting ones. Like, genuinely, if we imagine for a moment that there's zero moral and environmental issues with AI and you still can't think of any possible applications of it for yourself you're either just not doing anything or you're dead.
Yeah, but "Here's what you just did" and the "What you sent instead says:" and especially the "The whole thing. Yes, even the bullets. Especially the bullets."
I don't believe it's a fallacy to say "this person has done enough bad stuff to discredit himself and I don't have time nor expertise to sift through his content to separate the good parts from the bad, so it's a safer bet to not listen to him at all".
On Lemmy people can be nice in a lot of places, but there are also a lot of aggressively stupid people who hold the most batshit insane opinions you've ever seen (unless you've been to 4chan, then it's nothing of note). Sometimes it can feel like you're on Twitter. Use the block button generously, you can even block entire instances.
Look, if you enjoy that kinda stuff - be my guest. Let's just maybe not pretend that him being a licensed practitioner somehow absolves him from also being a shady unethical influencer who may have ulterior motives which affect how and why he presents topics. Again - not a credible source to me and many others. Hence the downvotes.
A manosphere-gateway self-help guru who somehow hasn't lost his license by some miracle (though was reprimanded) is not what I'd call a credible source.
Ever found you’ve accidentally entered too many gits in your terminal
No. Not once. In fact, I barely type git into the terminal at all these days and I think CLI is the worst possible way to interact with git repos in majority of cases

Hello youtubes!
I recently re-watched a few episodes of Lord of the Arena and Shoutcraft. Good stuff :'^(

Could be
Ehhh no? The original post is generic and mentions "managers" and the comment I am replying to is also a generic blanket statement
Happily switched to Deno after the incredibly disrespectful handling of the RIIR.

that part is untrue.
Ironically this page seems to be entirely made of slop, the whole text reeks of claudisms, as opposed to https://noslopgrenade.com/

I only have 2 points to mention.

7 years is definitely better, wonder how long the spares for 4 will last
