Yeah, but then again my Mum (boomer) and grandparents (silent gen) are left leaning, Palestine supporting/donating Canadians. Then there are people I know my age on the cusp of Millennial and Zoomer who support Israel and while not conservative are extremely politically ignorant

Generational generalisation is akin to astrology

Maybe but you give them an inch and in a few years the ads will be targeted

I’m not sure if it’s what you were implying but without anymore detail, I don’t really see a problem with that.

It’s kind of the same as having a beer out in the yard while your kid plays? Maybe you’re not directly playing with them but you’re hanging out with them as they play. I’d have been perfectly happy with having that as a kid

It goes back to my original point though in that attacking other working class individuals based on birth year is just counterproductive infighting.

The fight needs to be brought to the rich and powerful who have had the opportunity to solve climate change and other global issus but have chosen instead to enrich themselves further by making it all worse

Of course, talk shit about any fascists you know as they all deserve their teeth kicked in but a boomer you see on the street could just as easily be a lifelong environmentalist hippie as they could be a fascist - just as anyone from any other generation could be (especially Zoomers for some unholy reason)

TL;DR is fuck billionaires and generalising is bad

Which government?

Okay, but so can a lot of boomers. Still expect to see memes about how you didn’t do anything

Generational infighting among the working class only serves the wealthy and corporations who are who we should actually be angry at.

In a decade you’ll see memes blaming your generation for not doing anything and can you actually point to anything you’ve done besides creating a meme blaming boomers?

The list is genuinely stupid and lacks any nuance. See my other comments in this thread but this is sort of thing is where people who are anti-AI are shooting themselves in the foot and making the general public write off any genuine criticism as ridiculous.

Most of those projects allow AI to be used in the dev process and that’s it. That list includes projects that just document that things like AI line completion and similar can be used but code is still reviewed by at least one skilled human maintainer

The list combines those projects in with projects that are entirely AI written (vibe coded in the actual original sense) which just muddies the water on what’s actually problematic and not

Exactly, yeah. I actually really like AI for line completion and the occasional use of it for debugging. It really just enhances existing IDE features.

The problems with it come with large unreviewed chunks of code generated by LLMs being thrown carelessly into a codebase. A developer asking for an AI code review or a developer letting AI complete a line they were likely writing anyway to save time is so far removed from the problem that it just screams mindless anti-hype or overly-confident inexperience by juniors

Reviews (as an addition to human reviews) is actually one thing that AI does pretty well. It’s not good for large architectural issues but it can point out nuanced issues in single files that often wouldn’t be caught otherwise

I keep saying this but painting any use of AI at all as the same as vibe coding just harms the real complaints against it, ESPECIALLY in this case where it’s subtracting from another real issue (the age gating)
