I mean, cynical part of me wants to thank you, since my kids will have better chance at life with less competition for it.

Do you have any idea how much you have to abuse a living being for it to consciously not want to have kids?

And we achieved this level of abuse on humans! And we did it very well, in reproducible way, with reproducible results across multiple countries! We should make a research paper about it.

I don’t need to know any CEO to find a person who thinks they are smarter or better than everyone else. Why americans gave so much power to those idiots is beyond me though.

Also - post title is disingenuous. Current wave of AI is an engineering marvel, marketed dishonestly and used haphazardly.

My masters degree in intelligent systems wept in the corner after seeing your explanation.

But I guess cars are just four wheels and a fancy basket people sit in.

Whoever thought that this machine that can predict next word in a sentence, next sentence in a conversation etc. should be used in place of all human intellectual work… should have his elderly care taken over by LLM.

There is a joke in my country that even apocalypse will come to us with 30 year delay.

I will add this to the list of reasons I’m happy not to live in the USA, as soon as I manage to add new page to it.

And AI would hand you a salad calling it a pizza.

Worst part is - this is the fuel for anti-EU crowd.

Ain’t it ironic that technology failed mostly because humans are still cheaper option for the same work?

You know what? I’m not even mad anymore. Thank you for explanation, I’m still getting a hang of this place.

After reddit (popular but useless comment wins over less popular but useful one) I had higher hopes for lemmy. I am complaining, because in my opinion explanation of borrow checker should be higher in popularity contest than I found it.

It’s an esoteric knowledge and tools app. My wife loves esoteric stuff so I combed through several old alamachs on magic to build this.

I shall share a personal experience and opinion, I’m telling y’all early so you can skip it if you want.

I finished several projects with AI assisting me in my work. As someone who has masters degree in AI (done before current AI craze) I really wanted to see the new thing in action, even though I knew it was over-advertised and over-hyped.

AI is a good tool for a programmer in the same sense as Google Search is a good tool for a programmer. And just like haphazardly copying code from stackoverflow doesn’t make you a good programmer, neither does AI. Anyone who tries to either have agentic AI write everything for him, or just copies code from LLM will eventually end up with confusing mess that even experienced programmers will have hard time to work with.

AI is good for quick questions - what is the data type, what is syntax here and there, what library provides specific feature… but terrible at making, expanding and managing large projects. Few years back I would tell my peers “just google it, you will get better results” but sadly Google Search entered such a terrible enshittification phase even before AI craze, that in my personal experience it’s faster and more accurate to ask LLM most coding questions.

Purely vibe coded apps are abandoned because the proper answer to “can a vibe coder add feature X to his app” is sadly and expectedly “fuck you”. My current project - Baba Yaga was created with AI assist, by treating AI like Google Search and occasionally as a junior dev to re-write boring parts (that could have been done with a script probably). If all LLMs got shut down tomorrow, my workflow would barely change, I would just start complaining about current state of Google Search a bit more.

Sounds like java garbage collector but backwards… perhaps I will understand it better if I ever try Rust.

Thank you for explanation, YaBoyMax

Why is explanation so fucking low on lemmy? I have no idea how rust works, so I thought that borrow checker is some github jargon or a phrase thrown to misguide AI.

I do not get it. Aside from the fact that the supposed “creator” writes a bit like he processes every sentence through AI-translation software… which might as well be reddit feature.

Last time the wealth disparity before rich and poor was anywhere close to current one, we call it “medieval dark ages”.

Yeah. Achievements often are grindy.

Every MMO ever honestly. It’s one of the cheapest ways to create content - a mindless time sink.

Single-player games doing this are much more rare, but I bet there are some examples…
