What we've accomplished here strikes fear into the hearts of that so-called democratic Europe. This is a brand new level of democracy they’ve never even witnessed. Their politicians are just as much careerists as ours used to be. They are terrified that if we’ve proven this is possible, why couldn't the exact same thing happen to them? They’d prefer that no one hears about this anywhere at all—imagine, picking people straight from the people, without a political career, uncorrupted people with no baggage! God willing, everyone will rise up just like we did and wreck the political elite everywhere.

In the grim dark future, there is no longer need for a text editor

You mean humans stop using written text? No documentation, science papers, todos, longer form async communication, transcription, etc.?

we still use text, only we no longer rely on these awesome vim, emacs, helix advanced features, instead you spit out commands in English, tell what you want to achieve, your AI does it for you, nobody bothers learning these systems

I can only imagine this being said from someone not really using these editors daily, I use Helix, so: "xdjp" becomes "move this line two lines down", "mic" becomes "replace text in current quotes with", "A" becomes "at the and of the line add", no thanks.

Prompt viewer D:

You surely mean 'what your claude agents are working on'?

They learned from the best.

Do you actually believe in their altruistic goals?

The goals are altruistic. The torrent client was purely instrumental.

That is not accurate either, a large percentage of bugs historically were never crashes but subtle or less subtle incorrect behavior.

Yes.

I like these AI threads with everyone's measurement of how good a model is starting with: "it feels like..." and that says a lot on how incapable we are to judge and compare these models.

Indeed. We use similar gauges to judge each other, with no better precision.

Because Sony and all digital publishers with the exception of GOG are lying thieves. This is just another step in getting rid of ownership, and we are too naive and passive to stand up against it. Physical copies are a must to retain any sense of ownership over purchased games. If this is done, it must be forbidden to show "Purchase" on playstation store as that implies ownership,which it will never be. Also just look at the parallel issue that happened exactly these days with Sony deleting purchased movies from libraries. The same will happen with games. This is legalized theft.

I saw a photo of Destiny 2 for same at Walmart. First, game is Free-to-Play for years now, second version of a game that is on that disc cannot be played.

Tell me how does physical disc protect ownership? Then compare it to my digital downloads in steam where I can just copy game files between computers (if it's DRM-free)

> Also just look at the parallel issue that happened exactly these days with Sony deleting purchased movies from libraries. The same will happen with games.

I don't think Sony is much to blame here. They lost rights to distribute that content, so they can't distribute it. Blame copyright laws, not Sony.

How were they allowed to "sell" those titles in the first place then? Because it was never implied that access might be lost or restricted,it was very much sold to customers,not rented.

As for Destiny not working,this is a related but different problem, stopkillinggames tries to tackle it, but both issues go hand in hand.

1. If we give up physical copies,we lose ownership,as simple as that

2. Server side components must be released by the publisher once they take offline a game, as long as that game was "sold" to the customer

So ownership is a very important component in this, don't make it sound absurd.

My main argument is that I have more ownership of games that I have downloaded on PC (be it from steam, gog or that girl who is into fitness) than physical media on consoles.

It was in EULA and ToS.

I believe you are miscalculating the effect of skill atrophy, there is benefit and actual experience gained by doing the work yourself. You are an experienced dev and already have a lot of tools and knowledge under your belt so at the moment it is hard to see the actual issue, as this is just a productivity multiplierfor you. But give it a couple of years working under these conditions, your tech savvy nature will be severely diminished.

In a couple of years he will be 60, too. Then 65, then 70.

Seniors will be able to stay in the game much longer than before, mark my words.

Indeed. I think it's a much bigger issue for juniors, who haven't yet had a chance to build that systems design muscle.

When an LLM is making a bad design decision but the engineer doesn't have the experience to spot it AND the consequences don't become apparent until much later (which is often the case) -- it's kinda hard to learn.
