Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Amazon is tightening software development controls after several internal code errors caused major outages that disrupted millions of customer orders. The company launched a 90-day “code safety reset” requiring stricter reviews and approvals before deploying changes to critical systems. The move also reflects concerns about risks from faster development using AI coding tools.

What?? Using fancy autocorrects "trained" on reddit and stackoverflow yields bad code??? If only anyone could have predicted such a casualty of tech!! ... Morons.

Edit. Autocorrect. And, no, the irony is not lost on me lol

Slop fast and break things even faster!

[–] zingo@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I hope the big tech all break down by the very beast they created. Bankruptcy!

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I love this for them.

Dear tech industry....

Stop trying to make ~~fetch~~ AI happen.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 days ago

They are just so thirsty to fire people that it doesn't matter how many catastrophic fuckups they have, they keep going for it

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 9 points 2 days ago

Gee wiz, almost as if hiring humans was the right choice all along.

[–] cloudy1999@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

I've seen a lot of comparisons likening LLM code generation to how compilers and high level languages eventually removed the need for programmers to understand machine code. Arguments about determinism and code quality aside, I still think it's a false equivalence. Even if LLMs produced beautiful, ideal code, they fundamentally remove a programmer's understanding of what exactly is present in the logic. Mishaps are inevitable.

To prevent them, experienced programmers will do what it takes to produce human understanding and quality in spite of code generation. Yes, read the generated code. Yes, do code reviews with trusted peers. Yes, write/generate unit tests. There are even novel ideas about having LLMs interview us to make sure we understand the generated code's purpose. That's not the same as compilers, and it's not the story AI companies have told us.

Just like in the beginning: Programming languages are made for programmers, not for machines. It's on us to understand.

MAYBE deal with your obsession with laying off everyone every chance your get.

Amazon has been one of the slowest and memory hungriest websites that I know of. And that is using it with an ad-blocker.

It needs to personalize recommendations for each user. That enables it to recommend you another humidifier after you buy one /s

The hashtags on my Lemmy app are rendered with markdown so it's just a big ass fat header larger than the actual content. The audacity that this app can be paid for.

Sync, btw

[–] snowykitty@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

even then markdown should only do that if there's a space after I thought

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 8 points 3 days ago

Yeah, Markdown requires a space right after the #, but quite a few parsers choose to be forgiving of this rule, to make it easier for beginners.

Although that ends up making them pick up the proper syntax much more slowly.
And then also backfires in cases like what is shown here.

You can say fuck on the Interner

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yuo cna aslo say ufck on teh Interner

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why don't you upvoter your own comment?? This is so sad!

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Thnacks for upvotering it for me

"But the AI assured me the code would work just fine!"

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Amazon is garbage and people who use it idiots

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, this definitely moves the needle in a direction we want or generates meaningful conversation

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh buhu, cry some more.

I won't waste my time arguing with idiots. Especially not with randoms online

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Trolls and petulant children go back to reddit please. No one wants to interact with that.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 4 points 3 days ago

Hi, idiot here. AMA

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Just checked it out the site was significantly better back then.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago

So that's where my phone case went
