@futurebird @JoshuaACNewman @0x2ba22e11 folks interested in this stuff should learn about synthesizers, at least they'll be able to make killer jams in their living room

@futurebird no because using a phone for anything more important than a text, very brief email, or a toot, is misery

@silverpill @sam but the interaction is not the same. For example PixelFed users can post something like 8 images at a time, but Mastodon only ever shows you the first 4. There is no way to see the other 4 images, unless you have a PixelFed account. Same is true for Lemmy and other platforms, there are certain parts of the experience that you just can't participate in via Mastodon.

@silverpill @sam I think it's pretty unreasonable to ask that every developer of a Fedi project support every feature of every other product. At that point what would differentiate the projects?

One of the ways I'm dealing with AI slop at work is that when I'm giving feedback on the work I'm making sure to never assign the responsibility of the bad code to the AI. I'm directly saying that "this change that YOU made needs to be corrected". I'm always assigning the output of the AI to the person who put me in the position of reviewing the work. It is their responsibility to read the code that they're trying to review, they are responsible for 100% of the code, so they also get 100% of the blame when it's bad. If a change is confusing or nonsensical I'll ask "why did YOU make this change?". I'll never ask why an AI made a change, that we cannot know. All we can know is why someone thought it was acceptable to ship garbage, and we can assign them the responsibility for the garbage that they're willing to ship

@tante the boosters do not care. I had a coworker tell me to my face yesterday that we need to stop relying on "internal expertise" at our company, and instead hand that off to LLMs to write tests to validate everything. This was after I pointed out to him that the majority of tests the LLM wrote for him were fake, and tested nothing. You could write code that severely broke what the LLM has written for him and the tests would have continued to pass. How can we give up on the expertise we have, and give up on further building that expertise, if the tools aren't capable of doing the work? If you can't validate the output then you're guaranteed to create a catastrophic failure in the future.
