That is quite an involved setup to get a costly autocomplete going.

Is that really where we are at? Just outsource convenience to a few big players that can afford the hardware? Just to save on typing and god forbid…thinking?

“Sorry boss, I can’t write code because cloudflare is down.”

I must be using it wrong then or using the wrong languages. All I have seen it produce so far was mediocre at best and painfully wrong 2-3 prompts in.

Not even starting with how it just “fixes” a hug by introducing a wholly new one and then re-introducing the old one when pointing it out.

I think part of "grow naturally" assumed no investors. Just be self-sustaining with maybe some extra.

for<TAB>….

Yeh, you are right. A snippet for they would have taken longer than booting an agent and let it hallucinate for—loop parameters that didn’t even exist.

Almost. It’s worse though. It’s using snippets without using grey matter and shifting blame if needed.

A snippet for a for loop in your editor, yeah, go ahead. A “snippet for “make this spec into half assed code” is a wholly different story.

Overpaid bubble snippets at best.

It’s already causing massive problems before we even got to models that even do anything actually useful.

Wait until other countries jump in the bandwagon and see energy prices jump.

Currently it is mostly the US and China.

And RAM and GPU prices are already through the roof with SSDs to follow.

That is for now with ONLY the US market mostly.

And those “net benefits” you talk about have very questionable data behind it.

It’s a net loss of you ask me.

And most of those concerns being wildly dismissed by the AI shills, even here on HN.

Mention anything about the water and electricity wastage and embrace the downvotes.

I have a strong guess on how that website was coded....

And there'll be bullshit bailouts. But I'd rather embrace that pain than living through more cycles of that LLM BS. It will create so many generational problems.

Is it so hard to just read a freaking man page or read a book instead of wasting gallons of water and electricity for some answer that hallucinates command line flags that don't even exist?

Love getting downvoted for mentioning that the website doesn't properly load and reeks of vibe coding :D

If that's the quality y'all can live with and accept, no wonder the web turned to shit.

Already packed an emergency stash of popcorn just to sit back and watch that fabulous disaster.

Can't wait for agents to change the code they are building to buy Amazon Point cards at Target and send the codes back.

Called it! https://www.ismscopilot.com/isms-copilot-cookie-policy

"Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.agentmail.to (see the browser console for more information)."

> Looks at developer console...

- "Failed to create WebGL context: WebGL is currently disabled." Dafuq does an email website need WebGL for?

- "Cookie “dmn_chk_xxxxxxxx-yyyy-dead-beef-123456789ABC” has been rejected for invalid domain."

Let me guess...vibe-coded?

Verily, my vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me run that thing out of tokens fast.

That number is a sliding window, isn't it?

And according to Google, they always delete data if requested.

And according to Meta, they always give you ALL the data they have on you when requested.

Sorry what?

"You can't measure my Cloud Service's performance correctly if my servers are overloaded"?

"Oh, you just measured me at bad times each day. On only 50 different queries."

So, what does that mean? I have to pick specific times during the day for Claude to code better?

Does Claude Code have office hours basically?

God damnit...that definitely deserves the upvote.

If it's the "usual reply", maybe it's because....I dunno...water is kinda important?

- cheaper electricity price for consumers

- less pollution

- a more stable grid

there, fixed it for you

Vibe coding to the max. Forcing employees to use it and that’s the large scale result. Cause it’s garbage. Hands down on large scale it just doesn’t work. Especially on something the scale of an operating system.

There will be the usual downvotes and I’ll take em. If the pro-AI folks can’t convince me that LLMs are able to write and maintain systems at that scale, that will be par for the course.

Wait, “you just didn’t write enough spec and unit tests for the LLM to do it correctly and you are promoting it wrong”.

“No blockchain” != “centralized”

Mastodon ain’t a blockchain and isn’t centralized.

Is wasting massive fucktons of water and electricity an identity thing? Is it identity that RAM now costs 10x what it used to?

The annoying part is that AI is getting shoved down every throat it can find. It's Blockchain and NFTs all over again.

Aren't we all tired by this pro-AI stuff? Use it if you wanna ruin the planet. Don't use it if you care about maintaining skill.

I just don't really wanna hear about your pro-AI peddling anymore.

I tried. Several times. Just quick prompting, full agentic, and all I see as a result is mostly garbage to be honest. Not even talking about the atrophy one would get skill-wise by relying on AI tools all the time.

Just because it feels faster or are you actually satisfied with the code that is being churned out? And what about long term prospects of maintaining said code?

Definitely FOMO. I have tried it once or twice and saw absolutely zero value in it. I will stick to writing the code by hand, even if it's "boring" parts. If I have to sit down and review it anyway, I can also go and write it myself.

Especially considering that these 200$ subscriptions are just the start because those companies are still mostly operating at a loss.

It's either going to be higher fees or Ads pushed into the responses. Last I need is my code sprinkled with Ads.

Sorry, so the tool is now even circumventing human review? Is that the goal?

So the agent can now merge shit by itself?

Just the let damn thing push nto prod by itself at this point.
