has ANYONE figured out how to find real numbers related to AI environmental cost? i don't know where to look, i feel like i can't trust any source to be unbiased, but it's driving me insane. "i asked unity claude to make me this tool and it did it" yeah that sounds great but WHAT DID IT COST

i had a good enough time at sonic live but idk i think maybe it would've been nice if the singers knew the songs as well idk

our view for Sonic Live - like 3 rows back really good. The screen shows the official Sonic Live artwork with all the characters playing various instruments (eg Knuckles enthusiastic on drums, Shadow begrudgingly on guitar). On stage are various instruments. But not an orchestra. Just a band yknow. Guitars n that.

i don't use AI but my motivation to learn and create has been absolutely shredded recently just by its existence. really difficult to think there's a point to any of it when the productivity-and-tree-burning machine will just do it faster and better anyway. i used to be excited by technology :(

Long screenshot of a cropped Reddit post, which reads:
Here are my insights in no particular order:

Our dev speed has ~5x almost overnight

Quality has not gone down because we're all experienced devs and we're careful how we use AI and we don't let it make decisions regarding project structure or design patterns. However, I'm seeing less and less glaring mistakes made by the AI.

We're still reviewing generated code but I suspect not for long, the code is better than what most devs I know can write, at 20x the speed. The temptation to just push and move on is huge and irresistible.

There is no joy or sense of accomplishment. No pride in making something clever or quickly, and all progress is associated with the AI and not with you.

The market is dead. Nobody has money to spend. We're still working but leads have dropped off a cliff.

There is no going back. If we stop using AI we'll be out of business in a month.

There is no space for junior devs. I honestly don't know how to incorporate a junior into a team anymore (which is something I used to do for decades). Every time we tried they just become a meat proxy for AI while learning nothing, and getting in the way.

Everything regarding managing a team and a project has changed, and nobody knows how to do it anymore. I lost the ability to correctly estimate work required for a task, for example.

Everyone hates this. Most of devs my age are planning early retirement and are just waiting to be laid off.

People that use AI for coding don't learn anything. To understand code you have to write it, and nobody is writing it. Maybe understanding and reading code will become obsolete soon? I don't know.

Everyone I asked feel they are becoming dumber and losing their focus. I know I am.

Wikipedia has been doing some really awesome social media posts. They've been hiring artists & animators to talk about random Wikipedia articles or explain how it works. They could have just hired influencers, or made text posts. But this feels much more wholesome, more grassroots. I love it

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”
