I’m trying to adjust expectations. You aren’t getting my approval unless you can explain why each part is there. Your poor planning is not my emergency. K.I.S.S. still applies.

Admittedly, this is easier to say as a senior whose opinion is respected within the company.

Will do

I just consider the weight of their argument and ignore the votes. We have basically no defense against sock puppet alt accounts, some of which could be LLMs.

This Lemmy guy is horribly inconsistent.

I would guess BAT investors

LLMs are proof that management isn’t meritocratic.

We should improve society somewhat.

The power efficiency ran us afoul of the Jevons paradox, and more distributed outages is better than fewer universal outages.

You’re not wrong, but those already exist and are less bad for society than data centers.

Social pressure demonstrably doesn’t work for negative externalities of this scale. We need a systemic solution.

Casually

I lost all my bitcoin in a tragic USB accident.

I think it’s worse than nothing because it won’t stop unscrupulous users, but will hit legitimate developers.

Bias: senior dev, agree with Linus Torvalds on LLM use.

I don’t think copyright is a coherent idea, and we’re watching it reach its inevitable conclusion now. It would be better if we relied on government funding and/or crowdfunding.

But this is restricting the user, not protecting the developers.

Unscrupulous developers can rip off code using another model, including local ones that can make literally anything. Opt-in protections against doing something bad to someone else don’t work.

It’s like selling cars with Tullock spikes.

They enshittified too soon, before people depended on them.

Because some of them still listen, for some reason.

Yeah it means he’ll rack up a really high bill immediately on something stupid, and the board will pull the plug.

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

Wouldn’t that end up like the crypto mining market? Mostly big players due to economies of scale, with hobbyists struggling to break even.

Once it gets really bad, it’ll be easier to just stop using search engines and go back to web rings.
