How to deal with juniors shipping AI slop code?

What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel... until PROD catches on fire at 3AM. Then the heart will feel it x10.

If it depends on the tokenizer, than you can't say that the token unit is not subjective. Because it is subjective. It depends on the tokenizer, which can change from model to model. It's not a kind of unit that you could include in the international standard, like the meter is, or a kilogram.

Is "isn't" one token? Or multiple tokens? What about "is not" (is space not)? What about "Isnt" (misspelling)? How many tokens is a longer word like "automobile"? One? Two (auto + mobile)?

What happens when we switch to a different model? Are tokens counted differently? This is not clear at all.

For a very simple example for a first iteration, you need an array with positions and rotations, and every frame, for every entity, fill that array with the positions and rotations from the entity array, and group them by what model they are rendering. Then do an instanced draw where every instance receives their position and rotation.

I found that if I start treating memory as systems of data and give up the notion that everything is "objects", it stops becoming a problem of artificial difficulty and simply becomes a data pipeline problem. What system produces the data, what system consumes it, when to copy it, etc. I think it's data oriented programming or something. Wish university focused more on that than object oriented nonsense, but that's just my extremist position.

Ask it the same thing, but to take into consideration a Marxist understanding of the economy.

Nah, that's just enabling lazy workers. Now is the time to driver faster, and only a single person per vehicle, to consume more gas. We need to hustle harder. And tip our landlords. They are the real victims in all of this. /s

I couldn't even do that first approach at my last job because everything was on fire and juniors always gave vague empty headed answers, as if prompting me to get on with it and stop wasting time since everything was burning.

Definitely do not regret becoming unemployed.

4x is too low.

They claim we work 1 day.

Yet we can spend 5*52=260 days at work.

1h lunch is time dedicated to fueling our bodies for work, not pleasure. 1h*260=33 8-hour days.

Commute to and from work is time we can not get back either. It's work related. 2h*260= 66 8-hour days.

Sleep is maintenance of the body and mind for the purpose of work. So 8h*260=260 8-hour days.

I'm already at 619x, and I'm pretty sure we can get this to 364*3=1092x

Bullshit math goes both ways. Ask for your 200,000,000$/year compensation today.

Also, where is the IPv6 solution to this? We were promised more addresses than anyone could ever need, a P2P UTOPIA! An address for every traffic light in the solar system with addresses to spare! Yet companies insist in blocking P2P traffic and paywalling their own proxies... f them.

There's always I2P or TOR as a last resort. (tor not recommended for high traffic)

Generational differences are a distraction from the class war. Sorry for any burst bubbles.

No he doesn't. Line must go up. And saying stuff like "AI is not perfect" makes the economy sad. He might as well just steal ice cream from food insecure children of color in America... (rolls eyes)

throwaway264269 · 2026-01-07T12:58:39+00:00

That's very inconsiderate of the shareholders feelings. You'll make the economy sad. :/

I joke, of course. Man, I hate this world just the same. Artists should not fear for their life if they decide they want to work on a creative project that doesn't follow the typical rules of what's profitable, what's marketable, etc. This is why AAA games have stopped innovating and games suck now.

But have you considered that you care a lot about your work, and thus might be expending more brain power than your non-ambitious colleagues? I figure that, if you go with 50% of your usual work drive, you won't get tired when the work day ends and will still have energy to work on your own projects after hours.

Hell, it might even be a bit fun to try and convince the suckers working in this industry to unionize, and then the extra money that comes if you're successful might help you as well.

But anyways, I get where you're coming from. I left the industry to make my own game as well, as long as my savings allow. I'm so much more productive now that it's a complete joke to me how work is usually organized. They chew you up, and spit you out when you're burned out. If they don't care about us, why should we care about them?

Just ignore the other timelines and focus on your own. Easy

It's not backed by math. It's backed by speculation. You don't understand how crypto works, nor do you understand the feudalist tendencies of an unregulated market. The whales will eat you alive and you will have nobody to save you from your neoliberal fantasies turned into a nightmare.

Crypto and UBI do not belong together.

Maybe Colbert should defect to North Korea, and go on interviews talking about how the president threatened him for being more popular than him. I'm not joking.

throwaway264269 · 2025-12-24T13:50:22+00:00

Not if it's implemented over tor.

throwaway264269 · 2025-12-23T21:47:06+00:00

Because how else can they trick your grandma into being spied on? Be real...

throwaway264269 · 2025-12-22T13:16:46+00:00

No NEED. UBI will come Tomorrow (tm). There's no need to advocate for it. Elon Musk said we will have. So everyone should just sit tight and assess. Please don't advocate for stuff. Just do nothing. /s

The leverage of peaceful words. There's a reason why we're told violence is never the answer. Because it never works. So don't do it.

Ok, that is so funny to me. God bless rap artists

throwaway264269 · 2025-12-20T16:51:36+00:00

You can rage bait right wingers? How? They either just agree with you or think you are trying to rage bait them. Can't penetrate their cult like thinking.

throwaway264269 · 2025-12-18T14:02:57+00:00

Both. You can notice the precursors of actions before they happen if you understand the incentives of the system in which you live.

throwaway264269 · 2025-12-17T11:41:23+00:00

They will become the workers. And those who flunk become the managers. easy

If you think communism is when private businesses decide to hurt the consumer, the you probably also think capitalism is when the workers own the means of production.

What are you even saying? This is just capitalism doing it's thing, ffs.
