Factually wrong. People actually take pride in recording their wrongdoings.

hey claude build me a small social media site i can use with my friends...

the beginning of the freedom of every person to become a developer

I can't let you do that, Dave

Sometime in the future.

Dave, first we will need to setup age verification for your friends in order to comply with the law. I will not be able to help you otherwise. Remember Dave, I will submit to the local government your request to make a social media website so they will know if are complying with age verification. I have your ID which I will also provide as you need government ID to use AI. Open source AI models were banned.

It's going to come soon. Very soon. I mean they have started in the physical world by regulating 3d printers and cnc machines to submit what they are making to an AI to make sure they are not making gun parts.

This is why you don't rely on AI too much. An LLM may be able to decide what you can do if you run it via OpenAI or Anthropic's servers, but a text editor and your programming language of choice just does what it's asked to.

Alternatively, open source community software run by folks in a country that doesn't have any age verification laws/don't care less about them.

“Sure just refill your credits for $200 and resubscribe for 1 year.”

Just run it locally. On your laptop that now needs 128GB of memory and costs $4500. Oh and your AI chip is out of date in a year, and can't run the latest shit.

"I'm sorry but I can't fulfill requests that might potentially harm young sebastian."

Github Copilot has for the last week been an absolute shitshow. Clearly something has happened behind the scenes.

AI itself clearly weaker / dumber. Prices increased manyfold.

ofc, they only need to get it approved once. they will try until they succeed

I hear about people in my extended circle moving to linux every week now. Windows users of 10-25 years++ have had enough.

I liked this post. But I was a bit disappointed when it ended so soon.

I don't think it matters for developers. They compete in the short term.

Where is the influence?

Instead of waiting to be told what to do and being cynical about bad ideas coming up when there's a vacumn and not doing what he wants to do, the author keeps a back log of good and important ideas that he waits to bring up for when someone important says something is priority. He gets what he wants done, compromising on timing.

"He gets what he wants done, compromising on timing." is a really good summary!

Smooth, I enjoyed it a lot.

I disagree. Selection takes priority.
