@beep I'll just get out then... Thanks GitHub... (well I won't, but I might get out of GitHub...)
@beep ai will destroy the human race. Beginning and end of story. It is dangerous
@beep this is why I moved all my repos to #codeberg. Similar issue to #stackexchange stealing the contributions. You aren't slaves, just leave these trash corporate sires.
@beep This reminds me of the 1960s comic book villain trope where a Lex Luthor type would build a giant robot that wrecks half of downtown so that he can rob a bank. And, like, if that was the point, and the technology was sound, then he'd be home quietly amassing a fortune for himself instead of making an ass of himself threatening people...
@beep
Fuck, now I'm gonna get forced out of retirement in a few years because I'm one of the generation of programmers who actually knows how to code!
@beep "Bye, Felicia..."
@beep Wow. There's an awful lot of Utter bollocks to unpack there. "Creative Directors of code" a particular highlight. No way anyone calls themself *that*.
@beep
1) «Get out» but keep practicing coding
2) Watch the vibe-coding chaos from the outside
3) Get hired by desperate companies to fix the messes made
4) Profit!

@beep I’ve already moved my repos over to GitLab, happy to have left that AI-infested platform 🤓😁
@beep
I’ll use it like I use Lombok…as a tool.
@beep oooooh that explains a few things i've been seeing. Ugh I really need to get off GitHub.
@beep the only person that needs to get out is the CEO. I’m sure their Ai is probably stealing everyone’s code to “train” on.
@beep
That's just stupid, so many devs are more likely to remove all their work from github and just leave then comply with this.
@beep
I've worked my entire adult life: over 15000 days straight without unemployment. In all those days I've always been a doer, not a director - even when the job was being a director. I'm very hands on. I still don't know what it is about those who cannot do anything that gets them all on the same wagon shouting, "This will revolutionize the thing I could never do and really don't understand!" The best explanation I've heard for this type of mob mentality is, "They don't know what they don't know."
