I've seen a lot of stupid shit over my career but this AI zealotry just takes the cake.
Everyone is so convinced these tools will make software get made faster, but I'm not even convinced that it gives even a modest benefit. For me personally they definitely don't, and it seems to lead junior devs horribly astray as often as it helps speed them up.
It feels like I'm not even looking at the same reality as everyone else at this point.
There's relatively little debate among developers that the tools are or ought to be useful,
Yes there is. No one wants to listen to us. I've had 3 levels of people above me ask me how I've incorporated AI into my workflow. I don't get any pushback because my effectiveness is well known, yet the top down edict that everyone else use these shitty tools continues unabated.
I don't think steam is perfect, but they have shown over the years they will go above and beyond to make a good experience for the consumer, including tagging all kinds of negative things on games such as specific DRMs and drastically advancing the ability to run windows games on Linux
No publicly traded company will ever develop that kind of track record even if you give it a chance.
That's cool and all, but the plan is to buy their way in by running at a massive loss then enshittify. Rather, even if that is not the current plan (it probably is), it will inevitably become the plan because it is a publicly traded company.
I'd say they're too propagandized and too squeezed by living their lives in this system to realize they're being played. It has nothing to do with the color of their skin and could happen to anyone.
Why bring race into it? Poor white people are natural allies in curtailing monied interests are much as anyone else. Driving wedges that aren't along class lines is only to the benefit of the rich.
Even outside of the performance problems, it's become clear the pattern is to release the base game which is ok, then eventually release an expansion that makes it feel like a complete experience. A lot of people that started with world or rise are just going to hold off for the expansion
Even if I ignored everything about the entire ecosystem, just the fact I can use ublock origin in firefox mobile is reason enough to choose it over chrome
A lot of internet denizens go out of their way to highlight every misstep firefox has like it is fatal and downplay all of it's positives, even to the point of suggesting the usage of chromium derivitives.
As a long time regular player of jrpgs, I was pretty skeptical of all the people I know that don't play them talking up expedition 33, but yeah it is really that good.
I feel like these headlines are designed to be way scarier than the scenarios actually are to people that don't know much about Arch Linux.
