That’s a more viable solution than replacing most software engineers, honestly.

The sad thing is they know the large majority of users will comply. Most people put familiarity and convenience above their own privacy and general well-being.

Pair programming with Grok.

Spotty DOGE intern developer: “what’s a for loop?”

Grok: “Look it up yourself, noob! Holy shit do I hate Elon Musk in every fucking way!”

Ah yes, a classic tale…

“We’re going to take this perfectly efficient and functional COBOL code base and rewrite it in Java! And we’ll do it in a few months!”

So many more competent people and organizations than them have already tried this and spectacularly crashed and burned. There are literal case studies on these types of failed endeavors.

I bet they’ll do it in Waterfall too.

It’s interesting. If they use Grok, this could well be the deathknell for vibe programming (at least for now). It’s just fucking tragic that their hubris will cause grief and pain to so many Americans - and cost the lives of more than a few.

Edit: Fixed some typos.

So who exactly is downloading the app as a result of this latest government scandal? I’m going to guess it’s the maga crowd because they are this as an endorsement from their new king. But hopefully I’m wrong and it’s a broad sweep of different users from across the political spectrum.

Digital vampirism

I like this phrase. It distills down what the article is getting across perfectly.

Musk calls it a “massive cyber attack”.

I call it “systemic infrastructure and personnel losses caused by the malignant narcissistic man-child who is running the company into the ground”.

If you have a color printer you could try printing out an image from [this website](https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/( in front of your face and let it take that photo. Might be more hassle than it’s worth though.

They haven’t said yet. But my guesses would be the following reasons:

• Their app store has never come close to competing with the Google Play Store, and so they probably feel like the extra expense of running it for all Android devices isn’t worth it.
• They want to make it Amazing device exclusive to try to push sales of days devices.

I’ve been seeing this on Voyager too.

Reddit is just multi-layered abusive relationships. Admins are abusive to mods, many mods are abusive to regular users, and many regular users are abusive to each other and to mods and admins. What a fun place!

Edit: And why the fuck would others outside Reddit want to help it? I’m enjoying seeing it slowly descend into shit. Although the downside is that there’s will likely be a massive influx of reddit users here on Lemmy. Can we somehow welcome the nice users and redirect the assholes to Threads?

ROFL, yes it is. But given the current state of the government here nabbing federal government budgets, it’s a hilariously ill-timed one!

Hell, a lot of Americans still have your banks backs.

Chat GPT et al; “To improve your critical thinking skills you should rely completely on AI.”

Huffman: “Is it our shitty policies towards users, AI developers, and moderators that caused our growth to show down? No it must be Google! Even though they are ranking us higher than we deserve in their search results!”

First off all, what an idiot. Second, you made the deal with them, ya fucking idiot!

Third, I’ve noticed when I go to reduce from a search engine result, the UI is horrible (because I’m not logged in). Like, significantly worse than it used to be several years ago when I’ve wasn’t logged in.

So it’s not even coherent hate speech. How old was the person who posted that? 10?

Time to flood their AI with a ton of skibidi toilet and ‘what the sigma’ memes, so it confuses everyone for eight year olds.

“Oh no, he was just saying ‘hail hit her.’ Because one of his ex-wives got hit by frozen rain that one time.”

Or some ridiculous mental gymnastics horse shit like that.

Hate to say it, but AI-driven voice impersonation is not coming - it’s already here. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty damn impressive, and is at a useable state already.

Good article. Just shared it with some less tech-savvy friends.
