  • This issue does affect all of us, this person was in custody.

    The authorities had an obligation to ensure the wellbeing of this person and they failed that duty, this needs to be investigated and protocols need to be put in place to prevent this happening again.

    A friend of mine died years ago due to a loophole in a certain law, his family contacted their council member and the law was amended to prevent this type of accidental death across Australia.

    For one guy, 1 out of 23 million at the the time and they passed a law. So I ask how is this different to you?


  • I spent more time refactoring AI drivel in my last job than I did implementing my own.

    I’m glad LLMs work for the OOP, unfortunately programming isn’t uniform and different scopes and contexts can cause LLMs to create more overhead than they’re worth, I suppose in the same sense that throwing junior devs at a problem until it goes away creates more overhead.

    Sure it can figure out X problem and make a PR for it, but did it do it in a clean manner? No.

    Did it while working on X, also realise how X ties into problem Y and Z, and that dependency A does not have the extensibility to cover all these problems in a clean and effective manner before baking up a weird solution? Also no.

    Do I have to divide my time and attention across multiple different areas of the code base, comprehend, refactor and commit the code that would usually take me 15 minutes to write in the first place? Yes.

    They’ve got their strongpoints like the OP said, but I’m not insane or crazy for not wanting to use them. My tools work fine without the use of AI
