If you wish to increase your sadness and dread a little more, have a look at this list

[-] GreatBlueHeron@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sadness and dread is a perfect description. As I started reading I was building a mental list of things to stop using - I didn't get very far before I gave up. So many projects I've held up in high regard.

Sadness, dread and defeat.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

There are many viable and better alternatives than what's on that list. there's really nothing there that should make you think "oh...I don't know what to use now" most of the stuff listed is garbage anyways. Like take Zen Browser for example. you can essentially do that yourself on just about any fork of firefox by simply editing the userChrome.css. Librewolf is another example of "doing it yourself" on just about any fork or firefox or just firefox itself.

The terms at the top are great.

  • slop
    • Anything generated by AI, typically code, books, articles, or images.
  • sloperator
    • A person who uses AI prompts to generate anything, typically code or images.
  • slopshop
    • Company, Organization, or Group of sloperators working together to use AI to generate content.

Sloperator haha. Microsoft employee in other words.

vlc and mpv? python?? the mesa drivers??? LINUX????

oh we’re so fucked

The list is genuinely stupid and lacks any nuance. See my other comments in this thread but this is sort of thing is where people who are anti-AI are shooting themselves in the foot and making the general public write off any genuine criticism as ridiculous.

Most of those projects allow AI to be used in the dev process and that's it. That list includes projects that just document that things like AI line completion and similar can be used but code is still reviewed by at least one skilled human maintainer

The list combines those projects in with projects that are entirely AI written (vibe coded in the actual original sense) which just muddies the water on what's actually problematic and not

[-] Sabrinamycarpet@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 weeks ago

Or people should take it as a slap of reality that AI has gotten good enough to code because actual developers are using it.

Give it another year and this won't even be a discussion anymore as every programmer will be using assisted coding in some manner.

[-] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

just another year bro, trust me just another year and ai will do everything! yes i know i said this last year and the year before but this time it's for real bro!

unless the ai companies can magically solve the poor code quality, the unethical training data, the environmental impacts, the deskilling of developers, and the strong dependency on themselves for your coding, all this in a year, allow me to doubt you.

[-] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago

The code quality is fine with the right prompts and guardrails, and companies don't care about the other stuff.

[-] Sabrinamycarpet@sh.itjust.works -3 points 2 weeks ago

I mean no I don't believe they'll do everything but compared to last year AI coding has made leaps and its kind of dumb to imagine technology will not continue to do so.

1 year ago vibe coding was not good enough to make it into code bases.

unless the ai companies can magically solve the poor code quality, the unethical training data, the environmental impacts, the deskilling of developers, and the strong dependency on themselves for your coding, all this in a year, allow me to doubt you.

Im not some full on AI stan, so i share the same concerns you do on ethics and environmental impact. However I dont see how either of those matter in relation to code quality.

Code quality will is basically already good enough to be used mainstream, so I don't know how you expect it to get worse. But sure feel free to revisit this in a year.

[-] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

well, my point is also partly that all developers won’t disregard all the concerns just because the code quality is good enough

and the ones that do, they and their projects should be shunned. hence the list.

[-] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean no I don’t believe they’ll do everything but compared to last year AI coding has made leaps and its kind of dumb to imagine technology will not continue to do so.

People have been consistently saying this for over a year at this point and it's still the same garbage results as always. Just look at the recent Meta and Amazon issues with it producing nonsense and people just taking it at face value for some reason.

The only thing it's gotten better at is making people rely on it.

[-] Velypso@sh.itjust.works -4 points 2 weeks ago

This list and the reaction to the list is so funny to me.

Programmers are so fucked. Cant wait for the many, many smug idiots of the last 10-15 years struggle to find work.

And its not like many of them have the social skills to work the "unskilled" labor jobs so many of them deride.

Holy shit, my sides.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

"Haha, people are going to struggle to eat and house themselves and probably die. Haha, my sides!"

Psychopath.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

VLC doesn't surprise me, dude rants all the time about how great vibe coding is.

Librewolf doesn't surprise me.

Kitty 100% does NOT surprise me. The dev is an absolute tool who thinks his shit don't stink but the guy has no clue what he's doing at that end of the day. he rags on multiplexers or the simple act of copying via keyboard multiple lines in the terminal cause he DOESN'T know how to do it so therefore those things are "garbage". of course he uses copilot, when it comes to AI he doesn't even know of a "good" one to use. Don't use Kitty, it's slop from end to end. For example launch tmux in Kitty and then try to change your "kitten theme"...I'll wait.
