My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

I think the issue has to do with complexity. AI-generated code is overcomplex. If it's not massaged into simplicity by a human before it's incorporated into your system, the system will become very hard to manage and very hard to change very quickly (within months, or even faster).

Invece di adottare misure per garantire che #Grok non venga utilizzato per scopi illeciti e violenti, ha revocato l'accesso alla stragrande maggioranza degli utenti.
Nel concreto: non ha risolto il problema ed ha trovato un altro modo per tentare di aumentare il numero di utenti paganti.

This feature in @developer.chrome.com's DevTools is so helpful. Every time I get stuck on a calc() or other CSS functions, I solve the bug much quicker with it.
Thanks to everyone who worked on this! 👌
