Because or course they did.

FYI, not all polymers are plastics. All plastics are polymers, but it’s not a double equivalence.
A good chunk of the atoms in our bodies are carbon, yet we don’t see plastic being naturally created on our bodies, now do we?
However, do keep in mind that LLMs regularly pull language an library features out of their asses that have no direct correspondent in practice. I’d use the LLMs to generate small snippets of code, giving them a small and restricted set of requirements to minimize hallucinations.
Alright. Then imagine I am a kitchen knife manufacturer. I make a kitchen knife and sold it. Someone uses that knife to murder someone. Am I responsible for the murder? Because I just reduced the argument you’ve been making this entire time, except I removed the engineering part from it.
I make programs. I make them according to a specification, which is defined by the client AND the management. After I make the program, it’s out of my hands how the fuck it is handled. If one of those two parties use or modify the program in ways they didn’t tell me, and which eventually result in disaster, because they didn’t fucking tell me that they wanted to use it for those actions and I couldn’t possibly predict it, should I be blamed when the program fails? Normal glass bottles weren’t made to hold lava, why should I be blamed when someone uses the bottle to hold lava and ends up melting their hands?
Listen here, buddy. If you think I’m putting my ass on the line for the fuckers up in management, you’re delusional. You’re saying I should be criminally charged for decisions I didn’t have any control over whatsoever? What happened at my previous company would have happened way sooner if I wasn’t trying to hold the entire shit together, pulling all-nighters and going directly against direct orders. And I could have risked going to jail for it, because I cared about the innocents that would lose a lot of money should the program crash on them. And now you’re saying my ethics are wrong, even after all I’ve done? You’re completely delusional.
No matter how many times you hide behind the coward’s whine of “you don’t know anything about the real world, mate,” I will still know what ethics actually are.
Oh, so you’re saying that everyone else with real experience on the field is completely wrong and you, who has never worked a day in the area and doesn’t know shit about it, are the epitome of morality? Yeah, I’m siding with the engineers I know, who have been through the shit I know we have to endure constantly, rather than the idiot arguing that we are murderers for no clear reason.
Do you believe assassins should be let off the hook, and only the mafia bosses who hire them are responsible for those crimes?
If those assassins had the lives of their own families and their own on the line, yes, there are even laws for those cases, I wonder why. Maybe because people who actually studied ethics and worked with it for decades know that it isn’t black and white.
If you take an action, it is your own responsibility. I don’t see how you can reasonably disagree.
In the situation I mentioned, I could either abandon the project entirely, which would have caused even more damage, or I could try to patchwork it until I was forced to stop. I chose the later. And you have the ignorance and the absolute nerve to tell me I am responsible for what happened? Get off your high horse buddy, because you and your twisted sense of ethics would have condemned many innocent people. Look no further than the British Post Office Scandal. Are the people who were condemned responsible for the error? Were the engineers? No, it was the suits that refused to admit that they might have rushed the engineers too much and the program was faulty.
Because capitalism and corporations don’t care about the progress of humanity, they only care about making more money.
Now lets watch this technology become prohibitively expensive unless you plunge into a millionaire debt.
Look at this fancy guy using an abacus. Everyone knows the superior way is to harness your own mind as your computer.
It’s way worse on C and it’s family. I still have nightmares with undocumented embedded dependencies that are so intertwined with the codebase that make JS look like a godsend.
The dude who made the Task Manager? God damn, this dude singlehandedly carries Windows holy shit.
Buddy, I’m an engineer, and let me tell you: You don’t know shit about what you’re talking about. You can have the highest ethics in the entire world, it won’t weight shit opposed to management.
I worked on a project that was constantly rushed and forced to add things that neared the computationally impossible. Every single engineer on my team was BEGGING the management to not ship into production as it was, because there was no way in hell it would work without causing serious problems. They did not care, and when we said that it was impossible to meet the deadline, what was management’s solution? Lay off the entire team and hire a batch of juniors that did not know better, and the product was still shipped, and even if the juniors hadn’t, they’d still find someone that could make it barely work enough to be delivered.
Surprise, surprise, the product failed on a critical time and it cost MILLIONS (not thousands, not hundreds of thousands. millions) of dollars. And you are saying that I should be held responsible for my moronic supervisors’ actions? Fuck off and never come back, idiot.
I’ve considered this, but knowing the pain that I had to go through because there was nothing, I’d rather that future developers don’t have to suffer through the same.
Well, Threads was meant as a Twitter competitor. Seems like the toxicity levels are starting to get on-par.
Well, he constantly wears what I can only describe as an attempt to make a power armor straight from a 2000s live action sci-fi, constantly screams that everyone is dumb and that “The Great Observer” will free believers from this simulation, believes that if he remains hidden for a couple of minutes, police will simply lose him like this was GTA, and other dumb shit.
I know one person who does. And, of course, everyone thinks he lost his marbles.
Well, considering most android apps are written in Java (mostly Kotlin, but it uses the JVM still), I guess it could.
However, Bedrock is vastly inferior in terms of quality, and performance is not an excuse for it.
I never understood the “Minecraft Bedrock was made so it could run everywhere” argument. Like, wasn’t Java’s moto “Write once, run everywhere”? Why settle for a garbage version of the original, when the original can run on every computational device made within the last decade?
For games, I still pirate them for a couple of reasons, one of them being monetary. However, if the game is good, I buy the game afterwards to support the developers, and if it’s bad, they won’t see a dime from me. I might be a pirate, but I have honor.
The amount of times I said that only to be quickly proven wrong by the fundamental forces of existence is the reason that’s going to be written on my tombstone.
