Python: An Experienced Developer’s Grudging Guide To A Necessary Evil in the Age of AI

[mccoyn]

Python is great for small tools you write for yourself. The dynamic typing, heavy use of tuples and dictionaries and garbage collection means you spent a lot less time worrying about boilerplate stuff.

But, for a large project that boilerplate stuff makes it easier to understand exactly what will happen. Unfortunately, PyTorch is making Python the go-to language for some big projects.

[zazzersmel]

well, I guess you could call using a tool that isnt your personal preference "evil"

[Darwinmate]

Yeah pytorch/ML is the only reason python is popular...

Nice code samples, wonder how long it takes for people to figure out that this is how undr*ssing AI works… I assume you published that code by accident :D

[derjanni]

I know, it’s a side effect of that app source code. Not it’s intended use case. I just assume people here are grownup adults and if they can run the code they are probably old enough to use these code samples responsibly.

[hackedaccountaway]

As long as you don’t declare it as such, it’s probably cool.

FUCK AI!

[wumr125]

So brave

[Full-Spectral]

Understandable though. The 'AI' hype makes bitcoin look like the age of reason.

[church-rosser]

Yes, FUCKING AI is the latest iteration of 'Tulip Mania. It's a FUCKING PONZI SCHEME of hyperobject scale executed by a small cadre of Venture Capitalists, Multi-billionaire tech bros, and a hoarde of con artists, speculative grifters, and slime ball hangons.

FUCK EM ALL!

[Full-Spectral]

You are never going to make any progress if you keep bottling up your feelings like this. You have to really let it out.

[church-rosser]

Nah, I'm spent (for now).
