That's maybe a bit of an unfair, out-of-balance comment. Google Gemini had it's own fails on the other side of the extreme. Both have corrected themselves. Don't keep coming up with old stuff.

You are being very dishonest here. Gemini did not praise hitler, excuse South African apartheid, or create its own version of Wikipedia with blatant nazi, white supremacy and anti-Islamic content. Googles CEO did not subsequently claim these things were the truth.

Parent says it's washing it away with water

I don't really understand; the author first describes a personal planning / management issue, and then blames a particular technology for it. Apparently the author seems to think that the technology is the cause for the personal planning failure. But to be honest, I think the technology just exposes it. The underlying problem was there all along, just because of AI this problem is becoming very clear.

You mean like how bikes are like crack to people that are always out and about to do useless errands?

Yeah I think we should protect these people from accessing these technologies, because they clearly can't handle it!

Is someone advocating for banning AI because a guy with ADHD wastes his time? This post seems to just to be about knowing oneself and putting yourself in the right environment not creating a nanny state or something

Well I didn't say exactly "banning" either.

I have the feeling a lot of people are advocating to at least (try to) boycott AI, and downplay it, make people feel guilty about it's usage. It's vaccines vs no vaccines all over again. So binary.

Maybe we should maybe some kind of license, like driving license, but for AI. So only people qualified to use it safely and sanely can legally use it.

As developers, we often hack our own tools to make then behave in the way we want. But it does take some effort to look up documentation and to think of creative solutions. That's what makes a good developer.

There’s a difference between a little one off back and completely reorganizing the entire industry around these hacks just to prove a point.

Yeah so therefore I think a positive attitude is all the more needed, where you see the potentials, see solutions instead of problems. But I feel most anti-AI people are just negative people seeing only problems and don't have any solutions to offer.

Or it gets better; every industrial revolution has made life for everyone better, not only the rich ones.

Coding skills will decline indeed, like math skills of bookkeepers declined when they started using computers. But other skills come in their place too.

Haven't seen much, but the things I've seen from Altman directly give me uncomfortable feelings, and the things I've seen of Amodei seem reasonable, even interesting at times.

From what I understand, the Pro and Max subscriptions are kind of "subsidized"; you get way more tokens than they would normally cost. But I think Anthropic wants people to use that for Claude Code only, not for things like OpenClaw. You're still free to use OpenClaw through their API subscriptions.

I think it's about whether you trust someone or not. I don't really find Altman trustable. No one should have sole control over AI, but we need to have some trust in the people that are operating it.
