GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding
GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.
grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/117243573090596184We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.

I’m with Linus Torvalds and GrapheneOS on this. AI is a useful tool, for all its flaws and negative externalities.
Replying to @shifty@leminal.space
Luckily, the “negative externalities” are mostly made-up bullshit.
Layoffs are made-up?

Oh look! Another “leftist” trying to shift blame away from tariff man.

Maybe I am just not understanding your direction based politics, but isn’t it the right that put him in office? Isn’t your comment backwards?
To be clear, I literally don’t know, it’s hard enough following my own country’s politics lol
Replying to @Zeoic@lemmy.world
Yes. Trump’s deranged acts are seriously harming the US economy but also doing a lot of damage to the global economy. Anyone who blames AI for layoffs is effectively helping Trump/the global right by covering up their incompetence and failure. To be fair, Putin’s war is also causing much harm.
Replying to @General_Effort@lemmy.world
Then why did you say they were leftist?
As for the layoff blame, just because I say I like hamburgers doesn’t mean I hate hotdogs. Layoffs can be happening from both those things, and just because people are acknowledging one source doesn’t mean they are helping the other source…
Replying to @Zeoic@lemmy.world
I said “leftist” in quotes. Almost everyone here self-identifies as being on the left, at least insofar as they oppose Trump. And yet… well.
I am skeptical if AI is already having a substantial effect on employment. In any case, I don’t think these people care. You don’t see anyone arguing for a better social safety net/unemployment benefits. Here’s someone saying that people lose their jobs over AI, but you also have people saying AI is useless. They really don’t care.
