I’m in favour of hiring kids to figure out the solution through iteration and doing web searches etc. If they fuck up, then they learn and eventually become better at their job - maybe even becoming a Senior themselves eventually.

I get what you’re saying - Seniors are more likely to use the tools more effectively, but there are many cases of the AI not doing what its told. Its not repeatably consistent like a bash script.

People are better - always.

What!? Do you not even care about climate change? Why do you hate nature?

For now

Oh very cool, hadn’t heard of this. Thanks for sharing.

Their source is also on Codeberg instead of GitHub which is awesome.

No idea who this guy is, but that was a hilarious video. Heaps of little jabs to highlight some of the very real weirdness of it all, but a decent enough demo to show that it all does intact work.

This might help:

Wow, thats fucked. I hope Australia doesn’t decide to do this as well. This shit is happening so quickly at the moment

Maybe they’ll take their job more seriously now?

The worst part is they are doing themselves a disservice by not rewriting it by hand - have they really learnt enough Rust to know how to effectively rewrite the other parts of the engine as they say? Doubtful - they’ll probably just do everything through AI stuff going forward.

No, you’ll only be able to access the internet on approved devices. Anything that isn’t under their full control will be disallowed.

I have my phone running grapheneos set to automatiically switch off Bluetooth after not being used for 5 mins. Makes life easier for sure.

Best I can do is $2.

I imagine there would be a gigantic list of safety concerns for self-closing doors.

Sweet, I’ll have to trawl through some resources and try to figure out what to get. Its far more complicated then I thought ha ha

As they say, the last 20% of a project takes 80% of the time. Thats where all the boring stuff lives or the stuff that you’ve put off over and over again.

Get through it and you’ll be able to get back to the stuff you enjoy again.

Hilariously, all of those issues could be resolved if those same developers that are complaining donated some of their skills and expertise into contributing to the fixes and features they need.

This reads very much like an “Old man yells at cloud” moment.

Exactly. I’m over simplifying it of course, but that’s generally how it works. Its also not “AI” as in Artificial Intelligence, in the traditional sense of the word, its Machine Learning. But of course its effectively had a semantic change over the last couple years because AI sounds cooler.

Edit: just wanted to clarifying I’m talking about LLMs like ChatGPT etc

Because its an auto complete trained on typical responses to things. It doesn’t know right from wrong, just the next word based on a statistical likelihood.

I wish they didn’t need to replace Discover and were able to integrate changes into it upstream instead of implementing Bazaar. I’m sure they had their reasons though.

GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS We’re going to be moving forward under the expectation that future Pixel devices may not meet the requirements to run GrapheneOS (https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices ) and may not support using another OS. We’ve been in talks with a couple OEMs about making devices and what it would cost. 1:02 AM · Jun 13, 2025
