I’ve noticed over the years it ebbs and flows with the broader “societal mood”. People are much more on edge nowadays for rightful reasons, but it creates a pretty toxic environment on the internet.

Then why are you guys avoiding a logical discussion around environmental impact instead of spouting misinformation?
The fact of the matter is eating a single steak or lb of ground beef will eclipse all most peoples AI usage. Obviously most can’t escape driving, but for those of us in cities biking will far eclipse your environmental impact than not using AI.
Serving AI models aren’t even as bad as watching Netflix, this counterculture to AI is largely misdirected anger that thrown towards unregulated capitalism. Unregulated data centers. Unregulated growth.
Training is bad but training is a small piece of the puzzle that happens infrequently, and again circles back to the unregulated problem.
My employer is pushing AI usage, if the work is done the work is done. This is the reality we’re supposed to be living in with AI, just conforming to the current predatory system because “AI bad” actively harms more than it helps.
A good chunk of the Internet usage is HD videos which is far more power hungry than AI. I agree it’s added on top…just like streaming did in 2010, and as things will continue to do.
Would love an explanation on how I’m in the wrong on reducing my work week from 40 hours to 15 using AI.
Existing in predatory capitalistic system and putting the blame on those who utilize available tools to reduce the predatory nature of our system is insane.
This echo chamber isn’t ready for this logical discussion yet unfortunately lol
This is valid to all data centers serving all websites. Your take is a criticism of unregulated capitalism, not AI.
Beef farming is a far far far more impactful discussion, yet here we are.


I wonder if the people saying they give money every time live in major cities (and walk often).
Honestly there’s panhandlers then there’s homeless. I get asked for money surprisingly few amounts of times from homeless and I usually throw them $5-10 every time if I have cash.
Frequent panhandlers I will never give money to. If you’re around the area a lot it’s pretty easy to know the difference.
This isn’t even taking into consideration eating red meat which has a far great impact than any AI query ever will, but most anti-AI peeps aren’t ready for that conversation.


Negativity of the AI crowd is so crazy to me while I’m having Claude Code Opus implement entire UIs on flutter and backend Go interfaces w/ unit and integration tests on a single go.
I have nothing to prove to you if you wish to keep doing everything by hand that’s fine.
But there are plenty of engineers l3 and beyond including myself using this to lighten their workload daily and acting like that isn’t the case is just arguing in bad faith or you don’t work in the industry.
Four lines? Let’s have realistic discussions, you’re just intentionally arguing in bad faith or extremely bad at prompting AI.
It’s possible the library you’re using doesn’t have enough training data attached to it.
I use AI with python for hundreds line data engineering tasks and it nails it frequently.


ChatGPT is a better programmer than you
Unfortunately very true 😭
Just put the shitpost in the bag
I was just reading an article about how candy companies are trying to make GLP-1 (Ozempic) resistant candy that is effectively hyper-addicting and restarts the cycle of addiction.
Incredible how bad capitalism is for society and it’s affect on food processes in order to drive needless profits.
Someone get her to Congress


I spent a lot of time trying to find an open source self hosted tool to replace mint and ended up just moving to Monarch and paying. Honestly it’s been a really great experience as if long as you don’t mind the annual $50.
I swapped my gaming PC from Windows to PopOS a few months ago and it’s been a seamless experience with driver installation with an Nvidia GPU / AMD CPU
Installed and played Civ 7 perfectly yesterday.
Me when Claude code writes bullshit I don’t need
