Glad I don't rely on their stuff because the support is about to get enshitified. The company I work for does though...so...

Usage is rising because corporate executives started getting kickbacks and thinking they could cut staff by implementing it. But developers who have actually had to use it have realized it can be useful in a few scenarios, but requires a ton of review of anything it writes because it rarely understands context and often makes mistakes that are really hard to debug because they are subtle. So anyone trying to use it for a language or system they don't understand well is going to have a hard time.

Yeah wasn't meaning to imply that as I did see your post. I meant either at the server level there must be a rule about this or a rogue moderator perhaps.

Yeah, I wasn't meaning OP. I meant to imply it might have been an automated server rule or moderator.

Because the fact that trans people even exist is "controversial" and "confuses children". In reality children are usually the least confused by the subject since they haven't been as exposed to hate speech saying we don't exist or are "destroying families".

Not your preferences personally, but the preferences they think you have based on those categories because there are a lot of preferences that society says people of those genders are supposed to prefer. It's used in almost all advertising categorization because the majority of people give in to conforming to those preferences in order to fit in. Most men don't wear lacy pink and purple or they get called sissies or whatever, so they don't advertise lacy lingerie to people categorized as men for example. Otherwise they're wasting their ads. But LGBTQ+ people aren't really considered in these things because most ad companies are too conservative and even admitting LGBTQ+ people even exist is hard to get people like that to do.

It's only there because their ads want it and companies they sell your data to want it so they know what forced preferences society has told you to have and they can target you with those.

This is why I never used their images for any of my projects and do everything I can to use official charts made by the software vendor itself or create my own and put them in my personal git repo for automated deployments.

Any business that gives away middleware for free, likely does that in the hopes of monetizing that pretty directly and eventually will be pressured to increase monetization of those things by those investors or will be forced to stop developing those products due to lack of funding. Middleware really doesn't have many other good ways to monetize.

And because many out there still believe the world is better off without us and/or that they're morally obligated to remove us from this world. But still we exist, have always existed, and always will exist no matter what. It's in the nature of most sexually reproducing animals, including humans, for us to exist. That's something to be proud to be a part of if nothing else.

I have yet to have an AI write code of more than one or two lines that doesn't have a breaking bug. Speed isn't useful if it's broken. And honestly I usually spend more time debugging AI code than I would have just writing it myself. It's nice sometimes for getting an understanding of syntax of a system I'm not used to, but beyond very generic scripts that don't depend on context, it's pretty useless in my experience. I have Copilot integrates with my IDE for work and it's more trouble than it's worth so far. Even just for code completion, the IDE does a better job most of the time even if it suggests much smaller chunks at a time. And the smaller chunks are actually better if I have to proofread every single word either of then outputs anyway.

"[The changes] will impact everyone who uses the internet in Australia – not just people under 16."

I'd argue that these kinds of laws usually only affect people other than the people who are being blocked. The people being blocked will just find alternatives that don't block. VPNs or alternative search engines, etc. The only ones affected are the adults who now have to sacrifice their privacy and allow companies to collect and sell all of their information more easily and governments to build a profile of everything a citizen does without context. Search for information about nuclear reactors because there's a new one being built in your neighborhood and want to know about the risks, and you'll likely immediately get added to the watch list for nuclear terrorism. Add in a search for explosives to get rid of a tree stump in your yard, and now you may end up on a secret no-fly list and not find out until your vacation is ruined. So many implications to context-less search result data collection which is likely the real aim of these laws rather than keeping kids "safe" since it ultimately just forces them to use less safe alternatives.

No reason to innovate when there's basically no competition. It's a problem of consolidation in many industries these days. Most governments are owned by big corporations that water down and keep them from enforcing antitrust laws these days.
