And the second someone starts spamming laughing emojis instead of addressing the point you know they have no real argument.
Saying people aren’t equal is a meaningless statement. It addresses nothing.

Maybe reading comprehension is a little difficult for you, let me restate. I said:
"no human is equal to another human" nonsense, which just sounds like some sexist/racist bullshit.
So what I'm saying here is that that statement SOUNDS LIKE sexist/racist bullshit. Don't get distracted. Address the points I made instead of being dismissive.

You're agreeing with the guy saying that all men should act a specific way, and all women should act a specific way... by saying no two people are equal?
I agree that everybody is different. Because everyone is an individual. Everyone should be who they want to be and that should be respected.
What I don't agree with is your implication that you want to enforce hierarchies of people with your "no human is equal to another human" nonsense, which just sounds like some sexist/racist bullshit.
You both sound like you share some 1950s American ideology to me. You should evolve a little bit. Maybe try catching up with modern society.

I wasn't talking about your day to day development. I'm talking about you convincing yourself that LLMs have magically solved efficiency.
You talk about AI as if it suddenly made all compute cheap. That's a (subsidized) illusion. There will always be costs. These AI companies are just distorting the value proposition. If you think you'll be able to get Fable class results on affordable hardware, you fell for it.
Thinking you can stop doing the actual brainwork behind building things because Fable happens to be affordable right now is a terrible long-term bet.

2026-07-10 15:59:38 UTC

I really think you should take a minute to evaluate what relying on AI is doing to your brain. Are you realistically thinking things through anymore?
Do you really think there is some massive efficiency breakthrough that has been missed after all this time and absurd amount of money that has been poured into this field?

Your religious views make you a backwards person who wants to force roles on people. This entire way of thinking just makes it sound you can't handle the idea of people having any actual choice. You seem unable to deal with the realities of life. Like, you're mad about hearing about the natural processes women go through? You can't handle a women who isn't "elegant" or even has her own opinions at all? Does any of this actually sound noble to you?
You should try figuring out how your religion can lead you to being a better person instead of using it to justify this weak bullshit.

Preserving the “genetic line of your nation” is not something that is realistic or even makes sense at all. It isn’t how things work. So it’s not sane. It’s just racist and stupid.

2026-07-04 18:27:31 UTC

My country is not just some joke to me. I want it to not be shit. It requires actually understanding what’s wrong so that work can be done to make it better. Fake patriotism does nothing but make things worse.

This country started with colonization, genocide, and slavery. Right now, it’s a display of naked corruption complete with literal concentration camps for immigrants. Which part is great??

2026-07-04 17:42:55 UTC

The one way one can have this opinion is if you ignore literally every single shitty thing about this country.
This is just an incredible display of willful ignorance. Like, it’s one thing to love the country, but to claim it’s “still the greatest country on earth” is just showing a complete lack of any kind of grasp on reality.

I miss when developers used to care about the problems they were trying to solve with software and focusing on coming up with real long-term solutions instead of shitting out half baked projects that they move on from the second they think of some other shit to sloppily vibe their way through.

2026-07-03 17:14:27 UTC

So I see you people on Nostr haven't grown up enough to stop using the word "retarded". Y'all sound like my friends in middle school in 1996.

I don't think these are two different ways of looking at it. All the things are part of the equation. It's a set of positive and negative tradeoffs.
I'm just confused how people think the positives outweigh the negatives.

2026-07-03 02:03:12 UTC

So LLMs:
1. Produce low quality code that doesn't last
2. Rob you of practice you need to improve your cognitive ability
3. Trick you into thinking they aren't the most inefficient form of development (through increasing token input/output inside subsidized plans)
4. Leave you with a very poor understanding of the things you build
5. Require you to give every one of your thoughts to untrustworthy companies
6. Can be made unavailable at any moment
and
7. May randomly be nerfed even if made available again

The most economic way to do it is to actually write the code yourself instead of exchanging millions of tokens like this.

It uses a combination of on device models and bigger cloud models. It tries to detect when you’ll need a cloud one, but clearly that isn’t working well.

It’s probably a bad idea to purposefully addict yourself to something you get in a subsidized plan. What happens when you have to pay actual token prices after these companies can’t afford to give this stuff away anymore?

2026-06-23 17:50:19 UTC

Using AI for development is not efficient. I might seem like it because of these subsidized plans, but burning through tokens to brute force coding solutions is too wasteful.
This is becoming apparent on a larger economic level, but will become even more apparent individually once everyone has to actually pay real token prices.

2026-06-23 13:30:56 UTC

Agreed it’s a trade off. But it also feels like churn to me. Figuring out the right code to write and correct solutions to come up with seems more important than raw output.
