  • Scrum is just something I have to endure in order to get paid to program. The worst is when you’re working on something hard and your status hasn’t changed substantially from the previous day. “I did a bunch of things that didn’t pan out, so I only really have an expanding list of things that are not the problem. No, assigning someone to help me is unlikely to resolve the issue faster.”






  • And the quality of the AI output sucks. I was recently looking for information about positive convention for yaw, pitch, and roll in aircraft. I was looking at az and yaw and got reasonable results from the AI, but when I looked at pitch and el all of the results were about elevator pitches. Even when I spelled out elevation it insisted on elevator pitches. I scroll past the AI results as a matter of principle, but I usually look at them so I have something specific to complain about when people ask why I am so virulently anti-AI.

    What I don’t see is an explanation for why developing AI should be a priority. I don’t even think LLMs are really AI, so why should they get free poor plagiarism? I haven’t seen any convincing evidence that LLMs are a step towards AGI.

    I am really dreading the LLM crime prediction future. It will be like a really bad version of Minority Report. CRIMESTOPPER 3000 says you’re a minority, you’re poor, and you criticize our largest shareholder, therefore you are going to jail to prevent your inevitable crime.

    We should be powering these energy hogs off before they make the majority of us poorer.
