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.

They warn you and still give you the option to buy it if it’s not a deal breaker. Let’s stop making everything more authoritarian, yeah?

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?

Wild swings in policy across administrations? Oh no, not something totally new and unique, the likes of which we’ve never seen before!

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.

If Darwinism had properly and rightfully claimed

So you just don’t understand Darwinism at all? Cool.

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.

It’s his job 🤷‍♂️ I’d maybe feel more conflicted if he didn’t absolutely fucking destroy him and break his jaw in two places

…can you point to where the guy you replied to originally said that? Because that didn’t happen, either.
