I don't do drugs, and I don't want anyone murdered, so selling it for dollars is the only recourse

Something that isn't alive can't commit suicide...

Ah, yes, from the documentary film "Superman III"

Yes they are, just like Nest Thermostats, early kindles, Nintendo Wii and 3ds, etc. Stuff gets turned off externally all of the time

Then i'll cook toast over an open fire like the pilgrims did.

So it's easy to throw in a bag and use somewhere else.

Sure, they're not AI first...

from the article

That aside, he should have looked and this isn't much of a story. At any rate, i really hate the phrase "nothing burger".

I don't see any circular reasoning in my premise.
1) AI is supposed to make developers more productive
2) As a result of this, more code is produced. I would assert that much of this code is of poor quality.
3) The case i bring up, Microsoft (a vocally pro-AI company), doesn't seem to produce software any faster then they did 10 years ago; also, the reliability of their software does not seem to have increased. therefore, it's evidence that the benefits of "more productive software developers" seem to be overblown.

How am i begging the question? where is the circle closed?

I don't like politicians who increase spending while spouting antisemetic rhetoric.

Only if they don't care about the quality of their output, and they're not reviewing the code nearly as much as they say they do. Code review easily takes as much or more effort then writing the code does in the first place.

If every AI using programmer is so much more productive then they were 5 years ago, why is Windows still a buggy mess (possibly more then ever)? why does GitHub go down constantly? Why has the cost of software not plummeted? Microsoft is one of the most pro-AI companies in existence, so therefore their output should have improved immensely, no?

Yes, because americans generally aspire to the quality of life enjoyed by the average chinese, iranian, indian and russian /s

I don't like most of what Mamdani has done, but this i can agree with. People make the comparison to calculators, but if you give kids calculators too early and they never learn basic arithmetic, they'll suffer for it later (even if they have a calculator to rely on!)

Holy false equivalency batman! Leave your moral panic in the '90s where it belongs, we've got a new moral panic now! Can't have kids listening to that heavy metal music or playing Dungeons and Dragons either.

Every study that tries to correlate music or games or movies with violent behavior comes up empty. The negative psychological effects of social media are pretty well understood at this point.

Tech bro is a unisex term. Most of them are men, but there are female tech bros too.

Video compression doesn't really work like this. 4x or 16x (the resolution scales we're talking about) are really worst-case numbers, and in reality the difference is much smaller then that
