    Until it introduces a bunch of mistakes of its own. AI as a test has failed in several industries before now. It’s been around much longer than you’d think and has been tested in the BG for a lonnng time with much fail to the result of disgust if you even bring it up. It’s nothing more than a novelty in writing that doesn’t require the need to run on tight, non rational numbers. Something of which no binary based, household (and most industry) computer is capable of.

    Look up the Ariane 5 rocket disaster. It is the summary of floating point error that can result in disaster. This is the limitation that is present in all standard computers you’d be accessing today since the 1930’s.

    (Also referred to as round off errors or truncation errors in avionics because of how common irrational numbers are in spatial navigation.)

    Yup this is every job now. Wrangling numbers. The actual job or calculation could be done in days if less. But dealing with dirty information and playing detective which isnt even part of it is the sink hole of every job right now.


  • Reality is there are jobs out here that nobody wants and industry have been trying to program and train machines to do. 2 decades of AI attempts and it’s still failed. If anything it’s created more jobs to just cleanup some of these shitty AI attempts. 2 week human jobs turn into 4 weeks where a human is cleaning up after a machine fucks it up.

    so is this the super machine future we were all told about? underwhelming.







  • because someone wrote it with self-righteousness

    Usually a call sign of someone who hasn’t been really entrenched with bad code to understand their foolishness in comparison.

    I’ve only seen people hold that idea if :

    1. New and amateurish, I give them a chance cuz they might learn. But let them learn.
    2. Someone who’s only ever worked in maybe two places for very long lengths of time, given way too much power too early, people threw around ‘genius’ too eagerly and these people guard their code like a watch dog likely because it’s so fragile a simple ‘()’ in a string will bust everything . No one else can work on it and the only way you can fix it is the moment they leave. They will not learn. You can only hope the eye of Sauron will stop looking in your direction.


  • I’ve known people who do this several times in a year. One even came back to his old job, just to leave it within months to go to a new one, brag about how much better it is. He moved on from that job too within a year.

    Might just be the entire industry has reached enshittification in more than one way.

    So reducing emissions is more important now than it has even been

    Middle managers : “Come back to working in the office”

    Us: ”we work on computers and can easily work from home and have done so for years now being very productive without adding to the emissions of the road use”

    Middle managers: “Fuck the earth. I don’t feel like my job is valid unless you’re here so I can micromanage you”
