If it is catching that many bugs, you are writing shit code or your review system blows. Likely both. The AI is about as likely to flag real bugs as it is to flag made up shit, but I still have to waste my fucking time verifying and proving the bot wrong. And you know what it didn't do? Save me time. Because I had to verify everything it said for no fucking reason.

And my fucking god, don't let it generate Tests. You get the worst Asserts imaginable. Goddamn. If you aren't writing your unit tests, then you won't know what you are testing.

Also, AI-based translation is hilariously awful. Like, let's assume for the sake of argument that the translation was technically correct (a thing that is not even mostly true), it will always underperform in terms of meaning because good translation conveys the spirit of the words and not the letter. AI translations don't know shit from Jack because they don't know anything, nor do they understand the context in which the words stand. And if you are having issues with translating and you're relying on AI to do so, then how the fuck would you even know it was working correctly?

Legitimately stupid.

But, sure, take out all the slave labor and environmentally devastating issues (a thing that only huge losers do because they are usually friendless assholes that think they're as cool as Elon Musk and are unintentionally right), and you are left with a machine that is sometimes right but still cognitively damaging.

Democratic socialist Angie Nixon clinches surprise primary win in Florida US Senate race

Caucus. Primary. Vote. I know every state is different, but find your local Democratic party (or DSA or anything you want, really) and show up. You'll have a lot of influence there because you'll be one of like 20 people that shows up. And it really matters.

You can influence your local party and that influence puts pressure on the regional parties and so on. We lost a crucial caucus endorsement in my neck of the woods that cost a progressive the primary. And I saw how close the caucus vote was. It really does matter.

I have seen every ML/LLM translation be shit, so if you want to point to a less shitty version, whatever. It will not matter to me because every AI translation given to me was god fucking awful versus even a shitty human translation because humans, in their flawed yet understandable ways, do not translate things in arbitrary ways, nor do they make the same types of mistakes that an AI does. Humans understand how humans think, and the process of writing a sentence vs a paragraph vs a chapter vs a book are just... Different? But an AI just won't understand those differences. Not to any noticeable effect. Nor do they understand nuances in writing and dialog. They just write or do a sarcasm thing, and that's the entirety of their repertoire. That's all they "know".

Is it personally attacking you to point out that it is a monstrous thing to use AI while it is pretty actively killing the planet or that it is using stolen labor to work and refuses to recompense said labor? Because to me, that's just kinda how it is, and if you can't see the issues in that, it does sort of imply someone failed you at some point.

Are you trying to create drama and play the victim while complaining about other people supposedly creating drama and playing the victim?

They have a cure for that, it's called fucking off.

In a big Senate race reversal, U.S. Rep. Angie Craig voices regrets over vote on immigration law

Angie Craig can go to hell.

She regrets that people didn't like it, not that she did it. Turns out, people don't like detention camps, and, turns out further, people don't want people responsible for them in power.

If she truly regretted it, she would drop out and start working against them elsewhere because she's proven she can't be trusted to protect people while in politics. She can fuck right off until she does good.

You're probably being downvoted for being wrong. In the novel, he had 5 kids, but also the entire point of Bob Cratchit is as an allegory for the working class, so criticizing him for having too many kids is hilariously in line with Ebenezer Scrooge pre-ghosts. You might as well have said that Mr. Cratchit should've let Tiny Tim die so they wouldn't be so poor for maximum irony.
