i wish this was fake https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1958854561579638960 oh my fucking god
I didn’t think "ai"bros could get any fucking stupider.
Musk really does innovate. I think this might be the stupidest shit that i have ever read.
Since when does the update of the frontend equate to a better, more accurate, more efficient backend?
To me, it suggests the opposite – they keep breaking stuff or otherwise putting bugs into their client and Grok isn’t very helpful with fixing them.
Grok is evolving
…as measured by the number of slurs it tells to minorities, or what?
Racisms per minute (RPM)?
Oh Elon. You lying sack of shit. Go sell your wares elsewhere.
This is kind of funny but sad, like when you see an animal accidentally kill itself.
Only such an idiot can think that pushing 2 updates a day is a good idea.
Maybe you just haven’t had enough ketamine.
Not only a good idea, but indicative of positive growth.
Only such an idiot can think that pushing 2 updates a day is a good idea.
Lets be fair. He’s a special kind of idiot.
Not to mention, the app is just the thing that calls the API to the server that runs the actual models, it’s not a reflection on how quickly you’re improving those models. In fact, there should be little reason to push a new app update once you’ve built it.
Unless your Ai creates the app. This may be a reflection of how bad Grok really is.
The reason is so Elon Musk can make his stupid chart implying that more production releases means better in someway.
He’s really done a great job at dispelling this image he had of being done kind of genius in the last couple of years.
He’s been doing that the whole time, he just finally got to an area more people online are experts in.
Yeah, I personally noticed when there was this whole Thai cave saga, but I’m sure there were signs for decades before that.
Let’s change the font size.
Nah, its a great idea. Bug fix, and then hot fix for the new bug you just deployed!
I have some apps that havent been updated for like a year because the simply fucking work.
Merge Request 1472: Add commentMerge request 1473: Remove extraneous comment
Oh who are we kidding, they probably don’t do merge requests, they just push to master.
Two of the updates are “new outfits for Ani”.
Quick! Ship it now!
They’re making frivolous updates at a speed and scale Sam Altman can only dream of
so called not see updates
Yeah and my company has the best dev team because we resolve all the critical incidents we cause by shipping buggy code.
Some of these other loser companies don’t even have incidents!
This is nothing new. Workers trying to fake productivity to fool the capitalists, no matter for what reason capitalists think they deserve.
No, this is the capitalist trying to convince customers (investors) that they have more capital than the other capitalists. Nothing about this has anything to do with workers.
Lol equating your busted as fuck code that needs constant patching with growth. Gonna keep that around for my own metrics. Yeah boss this is the 9th hotfix to prod this week! Think where we’ll be next month, things are going awesome!
Turns out AI-written software needs lots of patches to keep up.
I can make bullshit graphs based on meaningless numbers too. 🤷♂️
Yeah but can you spew that nonsense at millions of people on your very own shitty platform? Gotta get on muskies level.
Aren’t the front ends for these basically chat interfaces that mostly don’t change?
What are they doing so much
Because their boss is an idiot who will yell at them if they don’t.
If you pay by the update, devs will update their way to a nice payday .
Update one character at a time, commented out till you’re ready to make a real change.
Then do it again to fix all the shit you just broke
pay by the update
Uh, how do you imagine that would work? Are you saying this is contract work?
Nah. It’s most likely not that direct. If the boss makes it clear that they measure productivity by blindly adhering to some dumb metric (number of updates , kloc, number of bugfixes) then the devs will find a way to max out that stat, to get bonuses, promos, etc.
As much as the author has shown his ass, this is the classic comic that comes to mind https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/k5hka0/bug_free_programs_a_dilbert_classic/
Someone keeps fixing the CSS color coding of an input field border and someone else keeps copy/pasting the old version when they’re doing basic edits.
I can also rapidly publish bunk ass updates to my app to the App Store so that I can make a funny chart that impresses my shareholders
Like let me just add some random line breaks to my source and rebuild the app bundle. Look at that growth!
