       I am frustrated by the fact that Claude is actually decent at programming. I still think it’s not worth the costs wholly, because it’s still prone to mistakes and its code is awful. My manager at work and I were talking about this and I mentioned that my attitude is that it can do about 80% of a given task. I basically feel like Claude and other AI LLM things can do, at best, around 80% of a given task. My manager asked “What if 80% is enough?”I had a response.

       I said “Everyone can get that 80% from AI, including your competitors. What humans do in that 20% is what’s going to differentiate you and elevate you over your competition.”That 80% is the easiest part of the task, and it does it poorly/average at best. It’s not good at it. If you’re okay with mediocre, fine, but you’re going to get thwomped by someone that invests in humans doing human work much better than you can do it.

       I’m really bothered by so much of this. So much of these AI systems are built on deeply unethical theft and disregard for human impact. They willingly allow these systems to give medical advice, provide therapy, and more. They have been documented to encourage suicide and murder in some cases. Their businesses are destroying the environment and the global marketplace of tech components. They are destructive and evil companies.

       I desperately want the AI bubble to pop so people can finally wrestle with the real costs of LLMs instead of the deeply subsidized prices. I want people in legislation to penalize these companies for their crimes against humanity.

       @pandora_parrot "Buy a license for your AI assistant! And another one! And another one! And another one!Also you have to use MAX mode now!"It's already happening, and holy fuck.

       @pandora_parrot i want to write good software, so cutting corners like this bothers me so mucheven before "ai", software quality was on the decline, and now it has accelerated that decline pretty significantlyi want good software, not the shittiest software they can afford to make while still keeping me as a user
