He removed the authorship specifically because he was attacked for using AI.
People were already going after him for using AI.
I have no problem with him using AI personally, because I trust that he is a competent enough dev if he has built and maintained this program thus far. If you don’t trust him specifically because he’s using AI now, and you don’t trust him to review the code the AI produces, then that’s your choice.
I’m excusing the technology because it’s specifically not useless, I have found uses for it. I’m not going to demonize the technology when the companies that are abusing it are nearly the entire problem. It’s about the scope of resources required and the job loss produced by this tech.
Do you really think running LLMs locally on your GPU is causing irreversible societal harm?
I know, it’s not popular to say AI isn’t the problem, but honestly, the companies abusing it are the problem.
It’s similar, but it’s not the same thing.
Anyone can have an AI “write code”, but ultimately, you’re still responsible for the output of the AI and ensuring that the end result is good. If you are a competent developer, you know things like testing, storage, security and safety (especially when dealing with sensitive data like user data), backups, monitoring, etc along with understanding each line of code. AI will never be perfect because humans aren’t perfect either, AI requires code review just like humans require code review. If you aren’t a programmer, you won’t be able to review the code AI writes, and mistakes will be missed, just like not reviewing human-written code because humans make mistakes too. I don’t see that ever changing because no software is perfect, there will always be bugs no matter what (once the software is complex/sophisticated enough).
AI does generate societal damage, but that’s mostly because of how companies abuse it and less because of the technology itself.
That’s my thoughts on AI and especially AI coding. That ended up being much longer than I expected and there’s more to it but you get the idea.
Honestly, unfortunately, I agree. It IS unfortunately helpful, and if you’re a competent developer using AI tooling, you can make sure it doesn’t generate slop. You are responsible for your code, at the end of the day.

Why do we gravitate toward those brands even when cheaper and more generic options exist that are perfectly on par?
To be fair, there are plenty of people who specifically avoid those brands because they are more expensive and they know they can save money with cheaper alternatives, or because they can’t afford the name brand.
With that said, there are some times where the name brand does actually provide a superior product.
If marketing majors could read, they’d be very upset.
Yeah, my manager replaced the team with his friends that he hired. It was just a case of nepotism, nothing I did wrong.
At least I have a 30% higher paying job now than I did back then, and this one actually has bonuses that they pay out too.
edit: Just got my bonus, hell yeah.
You know, a few months before I was laid off at my previous job, they did announce record-breaking year-over-year profits right after I built them a new site, and then they laid me off a few months after that.
Then again, I’ve been at my current company for a few years now, and they have been announcing record-breaking year-over-year profits over the past 3 years and it’s been fine, so I guess it depends lol
I trust him less than I trust Temu ads.
This is true, but they’re also not wrong that fully-modular USB-C ports is an absolutely huge win. It’s one of the biggest things when it comes to laptops these days.
It was always about the money.
I hate that Xbox is a joke now and that it’s going to die out. I hate that there is going to be less competition in the console space. I hate that Microsoft have no idea what the fuck they’re doing.
I love my AI future.
Fuck.
One of the best written comments I’ve seen about this. LLMs are cool for what they can do, but anyone comparing them to AGI is just shilling and trying to make a fortune off of selling pickaxes in a gold rush with the only gold being fools gold.
Sure there was, they wanted to show their power.
The fact that half of the country is fine with this is sickening.
Truer words have never been spoken LMAO
So really, it’s not supposed to help.
That sounds like therapy isn’t ideal then… the first goal should be to help, not to punish… lol…
edit: You can disagree with me all you want, but helping people should NOT be a secondary goal of therapy, that should be the PRIMARY goal.
edit 2: There’s actually a term for this, there’s a formal ethical rule called beneficence which means the therapist’s first and most important duty is to act in a way that benefits the client.
How can they help OP, though? If it really is that obvious that it was OP who reported it, I don’t see how saying “Hi, we got an anonymous report, we’re here to investigate” would suddenly remove any suspicion by OP’s family that it was OP who did it.
Depending on where OP lives, disability programs can be very difficult to and backlogged to get into.
With that said, it sounds like OP is planning on leaving anyway.
If I had to guess, it’s probably because most gamers aren’t programmers.
