This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I don't have a dog in this fight, we are unfortunately being Strongly Encouraged to use AI at work.
The thing is, I think a lot of SMEs and domain experts don't realize just how bad things are even without AI. Software has been eating the world for ages and despite all efforts appears to be getting creakier, worse, and less secure either intentionally or otherwise. People can complain about AI art until the cows come home but let's not pretend 90-99.999% of art in the internet age isn't terrible either.
All the things AI can or can't do - I think, given the capabilities of current models, the best way to approach it is that it is a force or dakka multiplier for everything we produce. Quantity has a quality all its own; whether this means we make 1000x the software fuckups or not. Companies were already making incredibly poor and short-sighted decisions without AI, what they do with it will be a thing of terrible glory, with wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I do, I've written about it here (and elsewhere) even before AI became a big thing. My grand unifying theory of modern software development is roughly:
There is greater demand for software than there are competent developers/engineers capable of delivering it
There are "enough" incompetent software developers to meet the demand
Companies hire more incompetent devs than competent because there are far more competent than incompetent
Companies create retarded processes and systems like scrum and agile because carefully managing and babying your incompetent devs is the only way to eke out something functional
The competent devs get sucked into these shitty processes (because they want/need jobs, and companies are terrible at identifying talent so they get lumped in with theretards), so even they generally aren't making quality software because of the bullshit processes etc. they have to deal with
