A very good question.

A couple hours ago I was looking at “written by Claude Code” on a PR description that promised a manual verifications having been done, and all I could think of was “did you actually do it, or did your bot just write a nice looking text that you wish was real?..”

I’m tired…

Only investors require datacentres, along with slavery for all humankind. Investors are the only people excited about those things.

But computer programs that teach you how to use them by conversing with you in natural language, we don't need datacentres for that, at all.

it's all good. i've done the same. we've all done the same. everyone gets frustrated. some double down and never concede a point. some, like you, concede a point, and move on. that's a statement of your character. a very good statement

I am retired from 40 years of writing software. And I assure that the help Claude gives would have made my life easier.

I am also an old Smalltalker, and very aware of Kent Beck's ideas, which Claude seems to embrace.

That is likely what heavily capitalized billionaires like Musk are hoping for; waiting for smaller AI corporations to get swallowed by bigger ones.

He gains their customer base along with the acquisition.

Or he could do another TikTok, convince Trump to force a sale to a crony under "national security".

The end result being all human knowledge under the control of a handful of oligarchs & metered out predatorially, with end users never sure if AI answers are correct.

It’s gone from family farms that watched out and supported each other, to little corporate agricultural operations waiting for nearby farms to fail, to allow their expansion.

it's far worse than that

#reddit is a pioneer in fake #bot engagement

the founders of reddit are on record saying 99% of the first userbase/ comments of reddit were all fakes:

reddit is full of bots. a lot of it is fake

enjoy reddit. i do

but know that you are in a sea of markov chain chatbots -> #GPT

and always have been

all i am saying is that the world is a nicer place when you first look to see if there is miscommunication involved first, before seeing malice. there is also malice in the world, of course. but again, the point is to avoid agita

yes

and you did not in your initial remark indicate you being blind was the reason for your AI use

"but that's obvious!"

ok. but can we at least say the initial conflict was about defending AI? and that people dislike that? and that if they put in the effort, they might be able to deduce why you are saying what you are saying. but this means the disagreement is simply about miscommunication and not malice?

what i saw was you defending your use of AI, and not indicating that you do that because you are disabled

after their remark, *then* you indicated that

that's miscommunication, not malice

> Whereas the concept of a special regime for certain groups has been developed during the last few years by the UN the human rights and fundamental freedoms of marginalized and vulnerable people remain vastly underserved. Persons with disabilities are often affected by this lack of protection, as many of them suffer double or multiple discrimination, due to their disability, their age and social status, for instance.

Devin:

nobody has a problem with the disabled community using AI

i celebrate those uses. we celebrate those uses

our complaints are about all the uses of AI that harm society

you know that. you understand that difference

so there is no need to fake a conflict that does not exist
