Datacenter popping up everywhere, sucking energy and water like entire cities, economy crashing…

We are literally watching dystopia being built around us. Its an interesting experience to watch.

Im happy I got to experience the 80s. That was peak humanity. Lots of cool movies and music and before big tech ruined humanity. People could date and create a family, buy a house.

Imgur already removed your picture.

Cool with a game, but at this point, im thinking the real world takes these things as instructions how to proceed.

Writing code but never seen the thing the code runs inside of…

I guess they are not very curious.

I dont know, its just common sense to not bring animals into shops where they can destroy things.

Whats next, suing someone because the coffee was hot?

Yeah true.

Yes but I bet the young developers at Microslop have never used notepad or wordpad or even windows 95, so they think the best apps are made in electron with JavaScript, or in dotnet.

Have they made notepad a webapp yet? Lol.

Im on Linux and it requires just as much memory as it did in 2018. No problem here.

Yeah but you get a card when you leave, and coworkers will remember you for at least a week after you are replaced.

It was a funny read and I believe you. Thats how things are in those places.

Klarna is really pissing me off. I got a refund from a place, and they put that money into some kind of Klarna Wallet or whatever, by default, instead of in my bank account where the money originally came from.

So I go to their stupid site, and select the option to refund to my bank account, and they are warning me this will take up to 7 days! For no other reason than they wanting my money in their account so im tied to their service.

Stay the hell away from Klarna. Im doing that from now on.

Not the men I know. I think men are awesome. But if you dont, I understand you dont like my cooking. :)

I think they are awesome. Rewatched nearly all seasons a year ago. :) Moulder is not a great actor. He just reads his lines. But Gillian can act, she is one big reason why I like it. She was also excellent in The Fall. I also really liked Cancer Man.

As a guy, I do the same. I try to make women feel as bad as possible so they leave me alone. Because its all about how i feel. Im the main character.

Yeah I know, I think junior developers have a hard time today. Not sure how to learn without writing the code yourself.

Mr Anderson…

I just let the Ai write all my code and spend all my time looking for the bugs it creates.

Its not so fulfilling mentally since I dont think anymore, but sure, goes fast and lots of code is produced.

Also its the new normal now and I think humans can only be faster if they know the domain very well already.

Most of us are working with apis we dont know every method of by heart, so its quite slow to write code manually, even if its correct.

Which means this entire profession will be about fixing Ai bugs by telling it whats wrong and let it retry until it works.

Its because people get other priorities with age. They dont care about learning new things as much, as a general rule. They have their paycheck and they value time with family or friends. The job is just a way to get money, not a choice or a passion.

This is in contrast with young people, who often wants to show how good they are, make a career, get recognized. Believe it or not, those older people wanted that too but not anymore. They did it, but other things became more important than work.

I think its too late. An entire generation had their brains fried. But yeah, better late than never.

Also the brain can actually recover. But it takes a lot of work.

For me, just reading a book is difficult now. The mind is not used to that kind of focus. My eyes go down the page, and then I realize ive been thinking of something else, and have to start over. This happens over and over again. But with practice, it gets easier.

They would be banned in a world where human happiness was the priority, but we live in a world where profits is the priority. I think in 50 years, there are two scenarios. Either humanity has learned to value happiness over profits, or we live in actual dystopia, with robots patrolling against “rebels”, implants, surveillance, Ai… Entire package from sci-fi.
