I feel ya. I’m a security tester so I get to face AI daily as well at my work.

Something depressing I’ve noted as well since the AI age is the (seemingly) complete death of curiosity. Some of the smartest people I know, now completely relegate themselves to become a manager to AI without even touching testing targets anymore.

There used to be a ravenous hunger for new, weird vulnerabilities and quirks in software that could be leveraged. Now they’re all just gloating about how they’re doing everything talking to a machine over discord.

I feel like the only weirdo that apparently actually liked doing the work. It’s sad.

I was happier not knowing this

We have boats with guns

I totally agree. We should be more open and welcoming to new users. Imagine some new people on the steam deck being curious and diving into Linux and running into this. Undoubtedly, we’d lose at least a few users that brick their machines.

I get that this humor fits and entertains the technically inclined of us, but if we truly want more widespread use of Linux, shouldn’t we open our arms to less technical users as well? Besides, even for the more technical of us, this joke is so old and run down 🙃
