Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Excerpt from Carl Sagan’s The Demon-Haunted world: I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

The ethos behind Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement blames individual people for their chronic diseases and links Medicaid users’ value to their economic productivity.
RFK Jr. is getting personal authority over who to kick off of Medicaid
“It's just a way of cutting people off of coverage and then blaming them for it.”

To my fellow EU people, Chat Control is a proposal made to scan all messages, photos, and private conversations without consent.

We can stop this, mass surveillance isn't the answer, let's contact our reps !

🚨 Stop Chat Control! 🚨

The EU Council wants all your messages to be read by ominous AI. But government and military accounts will be exempt. Why? For security. 😤

Vote: October 14.
Key meeting: September 12.

📢 Act now! We've got two months to stop Chat Control: tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

I support this, famously as streamers we have ZERO control what ads are served to users as its on a per user level depending what country they are in

I would love to have even a tiny bit of control what ads are allowed on my streams because I'd block ice and other bigoted garbage in an instant

We should be able to opt-out of ICE or Government Ads on Twitch.

Created a Twitch User Voice Suggestion for allowing Us to Refuse ICE Recruiting Advertisement on our streams, or Ads of Any Government Body.

Anthropomorphic dip-pen and inkwell stand infront of a table stacked with books. Pen holds a sign with '18+' drawn on the center, with a heart around it. Inkwell is holding a paper colored rainbow with 'LGBTQA' upon it. Inkwell is holding a hand up in a 'stop' motion. Behind the table is the vague sense of a crowd also holding signs. Above image it reads: "CARTOONISTS Against Adult Content CENSORSHIP"

an illustration of Helios, a completely blue Deity/angel, posing dramatially framed by a rainbow Sun. Helios wears a white chiton with a gold belt with spiky loops and a gold armcuff and crown. His face is covered by a bandage that has one simplistic eye and a cross were his eyes are. He has little wings on his hips and head. His hair is long.

An illustration of a furry character with white fur in three different outfits, placed against a purple background. In the first, she is wearing a camo-print sweater, with military green converse boots and a beret. In the center, she sits with her legs folded and eyes closed, wearing a short-sleeve top with a heart design and baggy jeans. On the right, she sits with a content expression on her face, and is adorned in angel wings, a halo, and a silky, light blue dress, which is transparent at the arms.

⚠️ A NOTE ABOUT ITCH.IO ⚠️

Dear #GameDev: I'm not going to pretend I know all the details, or that I should be considered an expert, but we need to talk about this situation. 🧵

Now, more than ever, I really need people who don't know much about about addiction and homelessness to please do active research and listen to the voices of people who have lived it.

This is a group of people who have always been underserved and demonized, please don't abandon them now.
