Ello. I've enjoyed turning off socials, news and really anything trendy when it comes to software/tech. Everything I have to say is just going to turn into a complaint, but tl;dr I'm just saddened by the continual production of slop, thinking and speaking in slop, and acceptance of slop among builders convinced they aren't producing slop or unwilling to admit it. I get progress is progress but continually I just keep seeing people let the clanker think for them, and if you read this and think "that's not me, It's my ideas, t's my spec, I bully the clanker into doing my work, you wouldn't understand, aktually YOU'RE doing it wrong" maybe reconsider your position.
I don't fear for the "downfall of humanity" or anything radical, but I do feel concern for the small, but visible quality of life and social implications LLMs have on every day life. Everyday another person sub-contracts another thought or feeling to a machine that can understand either. Culture was already breaking down, I think it could be accelerating right now.
