Curious to see just how much of the thread on a quite pro-genAI subreddit is people commiserating on the exhaustion of their work turning primarily into tedium and poor engineering.
Bonus in that the Claude AI summary bot in the thread says:
> The Rise of the Meat Proxy: You're not an engineer anymore, you're an "organic vessel designed to press enter." Or, as one user so poetically put it, you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked. Your only real job is to be the warm body they can blame when the AI slop inevitably breaks.
Shopify CEO: use all the AI!
Also Shopify CEO: Stop sending me AI generated crap! -

@cwebber Now if they could extrapolate from this to the fact that Reddit has a $60 million deal to let Google train on user submissions…

@cwebber Bravo to the person quoting Marx on “alienation” far down the thread

Claude was quoting multiple users like mojomonday (I’m just an organic vessel designed to press enter); hyperadapted (you mean like a meat-proxy?) etc.. -

I started using Claude about 3 months ago for a personal project and I was pleasantly surprised that it nudged me in the direction of test driven design. It wanted me to build my test cases first. And it was willing to do the heavy lifting on building those test cases and on doing the documentation. Also the output that it gave was first rate.
I truly believe that in the right environment Claude is a fantastic engineering assistant.

@cwebber "you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked" is the best description of modern software engineering I've read in a while.

@TooMuchCoffee @cwebber Did you mean „I was willing“ or did you really mean „it was willing“? As in „Claude - the app I pay for - was willing to spend more of my money“?
Every time a coworker told me that AI helped them learn new programming skills I felt like they could have just as well typed „python pathlib examples“ into a search engine and learned the same.
There is a massive tome of knowledge out there which LLMs ingested. -

There is a massive tome of knowledge out there which LLMs ingested.That $20 a month I'm paying means I am getting way more compute than $20 worth. They're selling it at a loss to do customer capture right now. But in my case it worked because I can see the advantage of this tool.
Yes Claude is willing to spend my tokens on test cases and documentation, but I am willing to let it do that.

I'm also told that openai does not have the same model as Claude. Instead of being an engineering assistant what it does is assume you want it to do everything for you when you press the white do it button. And it just gives you the result without showing you any of the steps along the way.
I am also told that the only comparable process overlay is by an open source product named Aider. Usually any successful model like anthropics would draw more competitors.

@cwebber That's why I use AI for fun, not food. Or something. Lol. And keep it scoped. If I try to make an app that has every TTS engine ever, something's gonna break. But if I make a Keynote Gold app, that's much easier to keep little enough for the AI and my non-existent brain, to encompas.

The Claude summary bot framing is spot-on: you're not an engineer, you're a meat proxy pressing Enter while the AI slops out. That's the whole job description right there.

@thegrumpyenby @pixelate @cwebber
I am against AI proliferation myself, but for an unsighted person Natural Language queries are a boon. AI use hits his life differently than it does us. Keep that in mind when you engage.Yes, #NeverSlop ...but be smart about the fight. We're here for the benefit of all people, not just hating the machine.

@thegrumpyenby @cwebber You saw the :blind: tag after my name. You know disabled people are the most marginalized people in the world. We have asked and asked for *checks notes* 20+ years for foss bros and big corporations alike to make computing accessible for us. You won't. So when AI allows us to "boil the oceans" for accessibility with no complaints and only some half-assed work, we take it. Get educated. Do better.
