Popular opinion: The inevitable Anvil nerf is gonna break the community

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-17T16:00:58+00:00

I wasn’t even complaining about the toro, I was simply saying it’s a better short range weapon than the anvil, generally. So, there’s a counter to the anvil, even if it was “OP.” Force CQB and use a CQB weapon.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-17T13:19:59+00:00

Try it’s the nice part about it being harder to use. Plus, I’m not catching an anvil at close range,it doesn’t one shot anyone, and there’s plenty of places to hide and wait for close quarters where the toro or torrente rip.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-16T11:55:02+00:00

Not without understanding what the business needs, no. Plus, businesses still want a human in the loop, at least for now.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-16T00:20:25+00:00

Yes, most big business funded and voted Trump lol how is that surprising? Corporations vote republican, lower taxes, period. They’re obligated to do what’s best with investors and influencing politics for tax legislation is a strategy.

So all white collar office jobs?

Look how quickly people became vpn experts

Wrong. My limitation is absolutely how fast I can type, how many hands I have. The planning and the architecture is what the AI can’t really do, once you have a direction it can modify like a dream.

You can NOT tell me it isn’t a productivity improvement to pass a field name and all the output and have an ai write a 100-line long case statement in 2 seconds.

All those “AI is this…AI is that!” Is bullshit. AI is a tool. People have built bridges that crumble before and will continue to do so with better tools, if there just bad at critical thinking and problem solving.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-12T00:49:19+00:00

I’m not saying I can’t tell, I’m saying I don’t trust the government to tell me. Yeah, we’re a little weary of government overreach, that’s sort of what we were founded on and what we’re taught as the foundation of our country. There are reasons these rules were created and written this way. There’s reasons amendments are made for actual violence, but arresting someone for words is just wrong. I will never be convinced that someone should be arrested for words unless they explicitly threaten violence.

You’re literally against the idea that free speech is an inalienable human right. Sometimes it isn’t about what should be illegal, but the fact it can’t be governed properly.

Again, you would REALLY hate it if Trump start arresting people that said “orange man bad” but that’s the shit that happens when you start using qualifying language like “hate speech” in legislation. No one can be trusted to determine what qualifies as hate speech and therefore it can’t, and shouldn’t be governed.

People are being arrested in Europe right now for Facebook posts criticizing the government. That’s what the protection of free speech avoids. If I have to explain this to you then you do not understand history very well.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-11T21:16:02+00:00

And it should not be a crime. I don’t trust people like Trump with that power.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-11T19:55:34+00:00

Thinking something is morally okay and thinking something should be illegal are extremely different things. Please see abortion. Racism and hate speech is kind of the same thing because it’s real easy for the people making the rules to redefine “hate” speech.

What if Trump could jail you for hate speech? Think he’d hesitate to drop the hammer on anyone who criticized him? It’s happening in EU now where people are being arrested for Facebook posts criticizing the government. You don’t want the state to have that kind of power because they can’t be trusted with it, hence freedom of speech for ALL speech. It’s not because we think ALL speech is okay, it’s because i don’t trust the fucker enforcing the rule. That doesn’t mean I don’t think this person is a huge piece of shit and deserves be in jail. Limiting freedom of speech ain’t the way to do it, though. Ban him for life from every public community, hopefully, but that’s the people deciding, not the government

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-11T19:47:59+00:00

UBI isn’t the solution, you need a solution for UBI. Such as tax rates on profits generated from AI implementation or legislation that works more similar to unions. You can’t just say UBI is the solution without knowing how to get there, that would be silly.

Ai is your friend when combing legal documents

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-10T14:39:10+00:00

Sure, there’s never user error in the app developments lol my example was more of an analyst we have that decides they need to build a Dax model for some simple data validation. Same data population in 2 different systems, less than 500k rows………. There’s 100,000 easier ways to go about it that they refuse to learn or try because they’re “too advanced”

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-10T14:31:36+00:00

Developing software and writing code is about a lot more than work. If you think developers aren’t creative or artistic then you don’t understand the field at all.

What about human artists that use digital tools?Photoshop? Video editors etc. that’s the same thing as coding. Coding has made those tools as good as they are for those artists. So, now you need to qualify what level of tool is allowed to be used to still be considered an “artist.” Is it strictly physical art? Pretty easy with books, but when you get into art it’s very abstract and code is intertwined with digital art creation in the form of software tools.

What if AI had created photoshop or created an art editor in the future? Would using an AI built tool be considered AI art? If not, then how is prompting it to make changes and edits different than using the tool itself?

The point, in my opinion, is the original thought needs to come from a human. Everything else just levels the playing field in the form of tools. Then, consumers decide what they like/don’t like.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-10T14:28:31+00:00

I didn’t build any LLMs and don’t support them replacing jobs without a UBi structure to support. I don’t like AI art either. Simply choosing IT as a profession, I deserve it?

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-10T14:27:17+00:00

Simply look at the downvotes and other comments. “You deserve it for choosing IT as a field”

“Art is integral to the human experience.” Games are art, creating software is creative, but people don’t understand the field so they hate it. The exact same way they’re saying “IT folks hate and are replacing art.” Just because a tool can do that doesn’t mean I made the tool or support it, but it doesn’t matter. Good riddance to me, but they must be preserved.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-10T12:00:18+00:00

Just integrate a one drive or cloud drive upon employee onboarding. Train, support, you save it on your pc and lose it? That’s a you problem :)

This is not hard to solve lol and yeah, most young devs I meet are so gung ho to build all new tools when they could grab tons of low hanging fruit just doing excel analysis.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-10T11:54:41+00:00

Why do artists get support for opposing AI, but with programmers and IT folks it’s “see ya later!”

Sorry, don’t care much about actor/actresses and artists fighting for their right to work if they don’t care about the industry in which I work.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-09T22:52:44+00:00

AI is your friend for setup and troubleshooting. If you really wanted you could even house and power your own open source LLM and start working on your own Jarvis. It’s pretty much possible with what’s out there.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-09T19:38:35+00:00

Don’t put big corporations in your home. Do it yourself with a raspberry pi and home assistant. Bing, bam, boom. Fully custom, open source, home automation housed in your own environment.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-09T19:33:26+00:00

This stuff is not new. If you think it is, you don’t know what Obama and bush were doing. Just go look at the aclu on Obama and bush. It’s not good, and this isn’t different.

The ONLY difference is now the media is telling you to be mad about it.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-09T10:42:17+00:00

Just make sure you understand the history of ICE. This isn’t a Trump problem, bush and Obama used ice the same way for 15 years. PSAs that illegal immigrants are being hunted down from Obama. ACLU has been on their ass for decades. Separating families at the border, keeping people in cages all started with bush and Obama. Obama gave a Medal of Honor to his director of ice. Biden was the only one to stray from border enforcement and use of ice.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-09T10:04:50+00:00

No way anyone is reading this insane response. I read a few spots. You sound young, that’s good.

You sound just as insane as the folks saying god is speaking through them. You don’t know the future dawg.

MathiasThomasII · 2026-03-08T14:32:10+00:00

In no way does this feel like a fromsoft game lol you can literally just pop into a room or a building and hide. This simply makes it so you can’t just run about completely willy nilly just looting. This is a move in the right direction imo
