@jamesthomson I'd hesitate to call them "developers" tbh.
The whole "you can't copyright AI code" part is a real showstopper at my workplace.

@jamesthomson Unfortunately it seems the options are use the slop generators or be unemployed. At least that is the opinion of management at the company I work for.

@ryanvade That definitely sucks.

Developers assume that all that code on the Internet must probably be open-source anyways. Cluelessly ignoring issues of attribution requirements, license compatibility, and the sheer lack of tracking of either by most scrapers. So far I've found one single model that even attempts to keep tabs on that, so you can imagine the ticking legal bomb that is the rest of them -

@jamesthomson It is depressing, I think some of it is management push, I think most of it is FOMO. Developers have always had this unique personality, they have to be seen as early adopters, innovators, and I think pontificating about how good they are at using AI, is just that. Just look at LinkedIn.

@jamesthomson not all, many say the same thing as writers and artist, as surprise it also stole their code ...
I know I certainly do. My code has had it's protections stripped out so valley dudes can strip mine it for even the smell of real programming.
SHAME!

Generative AI models suck because they steal attribution, not copyright. So I like to say they're built on stolen attribution, not stolen "works." Because when you say stolen works, people will (correctly) observe that you still have the works you claim were stolen, and (correctly) roll their eyes and refuse to take you seriously. Claiming ownership of ideas and punishing people for sharing is itself deeply unethical, and we need to focus on the terrible danger AI represents, which is erasing our reputations and friendships, and burying us in slop. (And also destroying our ecosystem.)
Instead, artists are drinking the kool-aid and now preaching the same oppressive bullshit that publishers have been using to crush them for decades. -_- -
@jamesthomson I feel like most devs don't see code as art, but as something ephemeral and disposable, a mean to an end.
Like i quit IT years ago and mostly code for my own use, and i'm closer to writers and artists on this one.
I wonder how many of us lone coders feel closer to artists, and how many of "team/corpo coders" don't feel any sort of attachment to their code.
And on that, how many are pro-AI and how many are anti-AI.

@jamesthomson @michaelrowe01 I don't think the developers will be so enthusiastic when they vibe code themselves out of a job.

@jamesthomson the externalizes were hidden with things like cigarettes, and one rich idiot in particular I used to have some respect for is on a podcast comparing this technology to the switch from programming assembly to c. The switch to fucking C didn't include belching fumes into people's homes and ripping off everyone so a few libertarian shitbags can get rich quick.

@agiletortoise @Drwave This meat tastes suspiciously familiar.
@jamesthomson @agiletortoise @Drwave
They say music is the food of love
Let's see if you're hungry enough
Take a bite, take another
Just like a good boy would
Get a sweet thing on the side
Home cooking, homicide
Side order, could be your daughter
Finger licking good -
@ryanvade That definitely sucks.
@jamesthomson @ryanvade yeah there is a lot of managerial pressure and a lot of “use AI or your career will be over” FOMO.
It does suck.
-
@ryanvade That definitely sucks.
@jamesthomson @ryanvade and AI is now used massively in hiring - to the point where AI is involved in the decision making process.
We got to this point t really quick

Developers: producing bloaded and insecure code until nobody is left to fix it (what is a horrible mess if you know what your doing) -

@davebauerart @jamesthomson
as someone who studied softwarelocalisation: programmers who actually know what they were doing always have been a rare breed... -

@jamesthomson publishing and music companies: We’ll sign any contract with AI companies, especially if it requires us to hand over our writers/artists works little to no compensation for them.

Seriously though… if it wasn’t mandated by management, I wonder how many would stick with it, considering how bad a lot of the outcomes are
