Would you be completely at rest if you were not asked to produce stuff?

Do you think AI replaces our hard thinking and our physical work?

AI or not, I personally intend to keep thinking and my physical activity.

I don't do any moral judgement at all, and I also don't predict the future.

I respond to "You are not causing more water to be used by asking a human to work on something.", because that statement is false. (Mental) work has an effect on the human metabolism.

This whole discussion is wild to me. Comparing people and machines like this is not productive. It is not actually answering a serious question.

There are projects where long term addicts are given pure medical heroin (Diamorphin) in a controlled environment, and they do considerably better than their control group who does not receive their drugs like that.

E.g. https://patrida.de/

Their drug is rage, thirst and cute trap videos generated by AI and selected for maximum engagement.

If it's not harmful it's not the same drug. Unlike diamorphine, a medical grade supply does not reduce harm; it's more like sniffing glue, inhaling poison to escape reality.

100%. I don't want to know how the sausage was made. It's similar to research papers, or history books, where the way we arrive at results or outcomes in the real world is often quite different from the way it's presented in the final form.

A good commit history is more like a well-written sausage recipe than like a TV documentary about scandalous sanitary conditions at Foo sausage factory ;)

And your data.

If you're self hosting your compiler on C, you are your own user.

Sounds like your daily interactions with Legal. Each time a different take.

I'd never share my pizza. A one pizza team, that's just me.

Maybe I'm missing something, or we do it differently here, but I think "spec" is defined to narrowly in that article. Start writing the first part of that document in that meeting, and everything ties together neatly.

I also discuss on a local newspaper forum as well, which is pretty popular, but the crowd here tends to be more insightful :)

We might be able to bring back some nuclear reactors, but building new one's: that's not on a feasible timeline.
