For real though: Looking up documentation, or even asking the developers, can often result in no solution.
Asking around in a community often has much better results. These are people who are knee-deep in using the tech.
They will always find problems, and solutions, quicker than the developers.

Why stop at AIPAC? Let’s call out Democrats backed by Big Tech and data-center developers, Big Oil, private prisons, health insurers, defense contractors, and crypto PACs, too. If you want our votes, tell us who’s bankrolling your campaign.

2. Economic harms to developers and artists: 'creative destruction' always accompanies positive tech change; some established cohort who've enjoyed past success/stability gets disrupted. there's nothing special about devs or artists such that we should try to stop this process for their sake.

And those tools were then bought by developers who wanted to use them to make things in a more efficient way. But no purchasing of the tech subsidized theft of the work by the original people who created the tech, which is exactly what using genAI is doing.

To be clear, I'm asking because I want to understand how developers feel we can pivot from 'generative AI is bad' to 'generative AI is bad and here's how we attack that problem' when so many widely-used tools already lean on the tech to some degree.

every time something like this happens with a game like this, i get the vibe that the developers saw the game acquiring a progressive fanbase, and said to themselves, "how do i subtly indicate to the tech oligarchs that we're still willing to play ball even though The Queers like our product"

As public opposition to data centers (and the dirty energy that powers them) keeps growing, Democrats would be extremely foolish to hand Big Tech developers and the fossil fuel industry a massive sweetheart deal.
They should vote NO on the so-called permitting reform bill.

Something that bothers me that I am seeing often in comments on things about LLM use in software: "Every developer is using it".
And just... *no*. Not every developer uses it, and a lot of developers that use it *despise* the tech but are threatened with being fired if they don't.

Yes! And as a first order of reasoning, it is just not credible to me to believe the oil and gas companies are making some sort of mistake. They are not. Nor are the tech giants and data center developers behind the bill.

Hubs is a tech dude. Builds gaming computers. Works with developers to build business systems and analyzes those systems to improve their function.
He doesn’t know how to work a smartphone tho.
Is this normal?

John is right. Writers are now having to sign legal documents in advance of contracts with traditional and indie publishers. New writers need to BEWARE - ai developers are LYING to them on nearly every level. Big tech are not writers friends. #writingcommunity #booksky
This was the answer I got from a respected author on this subject. It's not fun.

Well, again, that's the real question, and why all of this sucks for newer writers. If I were a newer writer, I would probably say I would be willing to show my development work and sign an affidavit of no "AI" use, and also, I would hate every fucking second of having to do that.
