It speaks in an accent that is similar to native English speakers learned to speak Cantonese where the tones are messed up. Not only that, but the sentence sounds like a mechanic translation from English to Mandarin, then read character by character in Cantonese.

(long pause switching from English to Cantonese) (speaking indistinctly)... are you asking about other persons, whether they are digital doubles, just like me? (speaking indistinctly again) think they have real directors, writers, (some words I can't even recognize) (interrupted)

The problem stems from centralization. A commander sits at the top of trillions of people is fundamentally wrong, no matter how good he or she is. No one single human shall have that big of an influence to another human.

But those fucking defeatists are disgusting. No one is asking them to solve the problem. Just shut the fuck up when someone else is solving the problems. That's the least they shall be doing.

Dude, are you me? You said every sentence I wanted to say.

I fucking hate this AI too. In my (huge) company they're forcing us to use AI and treating the usage of token as a metric of performance. Say, I'm smart like Peter Parker and can move my fingers as fast as The Flash, I can still get a bad grade because I wrote the code myself.

I just love programming. I secretly enjoy doing my job not only for money. At least I used to. If I had a billion dollars I can give every one a middle finger and continue to work the way I like until they kick me out. But I am not rich in reality. I still need to feed myself and my family, and I'm too old to start over my career also too far from retirement.

One day I questioned the PR which was raised by a colleague. I can tell immediately that he proxied LLM output to the comment to answer my question. I empathized him, for one thing, that he was forced to work on this part of the project where he didn't understand much just because the management "converted" every one of us to be a "full stack engineer" due to AI-empowerment, and second, he was really overwhelmed by the new workload, again, due to AI-empowerment.

This is shit, man. In the old days, raising a PR you don't understand equals to showing every one else that you're an idiot, a shameless, ignorant idiot. But not anymore today. We're welcomed to do anything with AI. Low quality? Oh that's because you "didn't use AI properly". Upper management or high ranked "engineers" will show you a demo in a Zoom meeting how they "HARNESS"ed AI to generate their shopping list. "Look? It's 100% correct, so evidently you shall be able to accelerate your speed of work to 1000%."

Project tech leads apparently focus on quality. Oh, I mean quality of their promotion rate. "If it compiles, if it passes the test (also AI-generate), ship it! What readability? What logic? The fuck you're taking about? This code is Good Enough™!" We don't need to understand the code. We're discouraged to understand the code. Oh, but publicly they will stress, "AI is just a tool and you need to fully understand what your submitting." And they still come after you when the AI-generated code fails in production.

I also have decades of coding experience, but now it looks worthless. It's worthless at its face value: the corporation is no longer willing to pay for it. AI stole every answer on Stack Overflow, and now it spits out code that looks as if it's written by a human. It's good enough to them. Nobody wants the code perfect anymore.

It's a crime against human intellect.

And there are jobs better fit in the tide of AI-replacement: doctors. Doctors have a worklog that's of even higher quality for AI to train on. And if AI can generate correct boilerplates for silly requirements, AI can diagnose most everyday sickness.

Hey, don't point fingers at me. I'm just trying to talk like AI bros. I swear to god if they don't take legal liability in misdiagnosis, they will push AI doctors in hospitals.

Yes, they don't take legal liability in business software. "Who cares?" All they will ever face is few of us who do know their crime, and the non existent class action.

Humanity looks pretty grim. I don't fucking know how I'll survive the world with greedy capitalists with the most powerful robbing tool by far.

Not replacing human reviewers how? If you allow LLM to review it, human reviewers are "freed" to do something else. Soon there will be no new blood in the reviewer's bracket, and the old reviewers will get rusty on their reviewing skill too.

And this does not stop at reviewing. I bet you $50.

I'm not sure how diminishing it would be, but as a person who went through it, most of the time I didn't nod off in the night-studying sessions. I actually had homework to complete and I remembered knowledge studied during the time. Even if it's diminishing it's still a net gain than those who don't do the extra study, given that I don't stress myself out.

Too big! Yes! I remember the good old days when phones were phones and "Note" is a big phone which is slightly smaller than tablets.

Nowadays every fucking phone is a fucking brick. A small phone today is as big as those "Note" variants.

Guess what? You only need to reverse-engineer these to support Apple Silicon's Thunderbolt!

  • Cortex-M3 co-processor + firmware loading
  • 16 MiB temporary MMIO window
  • DART IOMMU and DMA restrictions
  • CD321x / Type-C PHY sequencing

Finally, don't forget to do this!
