They are so desperate to push this and it’s pretty obvious why. Companies have dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into AI like it was going to revolutionize literally everything and are now forcing it on people to make up for the fact that they were wrong. Don’t get me wrong, AI has its uses, but their whole “solution for everything” mentality is really starting to backfire and they are just trying to make a profit off their investments. Basically “we spent way more money on this than we should have so you better use it or else.”
Edit: In addition, every company is trying to be the one that’s on top when the bubble pops which is only making it bigger and last longer which will only make it worse when it does actually pop. It’s a problem they created and are sustaining themselves, and if they back out now it could be just as catastrophic as letting the bubble pop.

They are trying to somehow undo or redo personal computers.
To create a non-transparent tool that replaces the need (and thus social possibility) to have a universal machine.
The difference between thinking robots and computers as we have them is that thinking robots take some place in the social hierarchy, and computers help everyone who has a computer and uses it.
Science fiction usually portrayed artificial humans, not computers, before actually, ahem, seeing the world as it turned out.
It’s sort of a social power revolt against intellectual power (well, some kind of it).
Like a tantrum. People who don’t like how it really happened still want their deus ex machina, an obedient slave at that, that can take responsibility at that. Their 50 years long shock has receded and they now think they are about to turn this defeat into victory.

I think that’s deliberate. There are a few companies which will feel very well when the bubble pops, having the actual audience as their main capital, while their capitalization and technologies are secondary. The rest are just blindly led by short-term profits.
Curious when the last time business insider quoted a labor leader without a CEO or capitalist shill quoted in the same article. A US private equity group Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) acquired a majority share in the parent corp in 2020. They’re also selling ads for development in the west bank under yad2 https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/germany-media-giant-axel-springer-advertises-israels-illegal-settlements-in-the-west-bank-through-its-classified-ads-website-yad2-incl-co-comment/
I got out when Microsoft bought it, glad I did. I don’t want you training your shitty AI on my shitty code.
TIL Github has a CEO.
So many people completely miss the mark when it comes to AI and coding. It’s great for code reviews on code you wrote yourself, and it can be handy when you’re developing code for a domain you don’t have much experience in.
What it is not good for is writing code on its own. Not if you want your code to be efficient, or performant, work correctly, or even compile.
You missed ‘secure’ out of that list. Vibe coding is tantamount to communism, the way that everyone who uses it ends up publicly owned.
OK, cya.
Expectation: High quality code done quickly by AI.
Reality: Low quality AI generated bug reports being spammed in the hopes the spammers can get bug bounty for fixing them, with AI of course.
just saying codeberg and forgejo is right there and doesn’t have ai rubbish.
Gargle my balls or get out.
I like Codeberg better anyways.
I like the idea of it; yet you can’t host private repos. I don’t want to be locked in to GitHub but as someone starting their career it’s important to show that you’re working on stuff. Hence I worry that moving away from GitHub will negatively impact my interviewing prospects.
You can with some caveats. It has to be stuff like configs or a project you intend to make FOSS later.
I’ve never had a job check my GitHub, but I could give Codeberg too.
CEO = Marketing with a different title. Trust the words out of their mouths the same.
welp I guess time to open a codeberg account
Risky talking down to developers. Does the CEO not know that Git is like REALLY easy to move?!
people are so apathetic these days that ceo’s feel comfortable publically saying this shit. They know there will be no major user loss.
Way ahead of you, looked for GitHub alternatives such as codeberg ages ago.
Essentially… Leave now, or contribute to training your replacement.
Aight Imma head out
