mistakes used to (almost) exclusively be the fault of the programmer; but programming was becoming too powerful! to restore balance, we had to invent a way for the computer to make mistakes as well. and now nobody can afford computers anymore. problem solved.

a Personal Computer was a device people used to have in their home. they were used for several things, such as playing Solitaire and Going Online. today you can rent access to a computer through The Cloud. you can still play Solitaire, but now it has Ads, and a Chatbot that will help you [redacted]

i really wish i could believe the assertion people make that "most people don't want AI slop". how large is the silent part of the population? how many won't have a realistic alternative if the companies peddling it get their way?

i get that parts of making the computer do things can be exhausting/boring/infuriating. but i worry that we will have some problems down the road if we encourage the idea that you can trade away understanding the details. if they resent code so much maybe it isn't for them at all. idk.
