CS & Math graduate. I'm creating GodSVG, a structured SVG editor that might appeal to programmers: https://t.co/tqOl3sNZsm
Joined September 2018
GodSVG, my free & open-source SVG editor made in Godot, just released alpha 11. This alpha introduces themes: Choose between dark, light, and black (OLED), or configure your own theme! ๐๐ More details here: https://t.co/HT5eSCfRWM

AI is societal cancer. It's ramping up mass surveillance, hurting creatives, poisoning the library of human knowledge, destroying our ability to think for ourselves, eroding our trust, and it's turning the US's whole economy into a giant bet on magic beans. I hope this ends soon.

This thumbnail isn't Sabine's first time alluding to AI replacing coders. She's been criticized after advertising vibe coding tools, but she continues without ever addressing the ocean of evidence against vibe coding. She looks and quacks like a shill, so she's probably a shill.

It's extra frustrating how this pairs with the video title - "Mathematicians in denial" - like she's convinced coders and writers have already been replaced, and we're just in denial. No, AI can't even dream of doing the unique things I do. I would rather quit than make AI slop.

I know AI can help with small coding tasks with a low ceiling. But AI can't replace workers, it can only look like enough of a threat to make us stay quiet and accept worse pay and conditions. Most professionals who try AI eventually have to replace mountains of generated code.

Companies spout things like "Build Better Software Faster", "Delegate like a boss", meanwhile, nobody is shipping more than before. Yet people are being fired for not adopting AI fast enough. This whole thing is horrible, and it sucks that influencers like Sabine are buying it.

Amazon has basically no quality control. But coding has minimal quality control: Your app has to at least run. What has AI done for coding? If AI were even remotely useful, we would be drowning in shovelware. Look at the graph below: Can you even tell when vibe coding took off?

All AI has done for writing is inundate amazon with endless soulless slop, making it harder for real writers (from which AI companies stole without permission or attribution, to create their tool and profit) to make a living, and for readers to find good authentic stuff.

Any honest writer/coder will tell you AI can't write compelling, even functional stories/code. The average programmer who uses AI feels like he's 20% faster thanks to it, but is in fact 20% slower. Practice and tooling don't do much to change this statistic.

Going back to the thumbnail, it suggests AI has killed writers and coders, and is going for mathematicians next. Lovely insight, Sabine! Indeed, we coders are dead. Is it because AI is replacing us? No, it's because AI salesmen are convincing our bosses that AI can replace us.

Other examples: Her videos on neurodivergence and capitalism. I could talk a lot about the issues I spotted in all these videos, but I'm sure more knowledgeable people have already done so. I'm here to rant about her bad take on AI.

Some of her past coverage on topics, like trans issues, has been pretty bad, usually in ways that side with oppression. For example, she said "puberty blockers need more double-blind tests" - impossible with a drug that changes your appearance, as any expert can tell you.

I don't think Sabine wants to misinform for money, she's just a person with opinions, she isn't empty inside. Her videos focus on grounded physics, not crackpot stuff that interests more people. Her critique is fairly targeted towards dead end research, not physics in general.

Sabine has gotten some criticism lately for her "physics is broken!" videos. While I think people have been unfair to her about that, some of her past coverage on various topics has been really unscientific, and this thumbnail sold the deal for me and made me block her. ๐งต

Please consider donating to the project. Even a small donation would help me to dedicate more time to GodSVG, only at a fraction of the cost of a useless labubu. Github sponsors: https://t.co/Qz1rg0Op9O Ko-Fi: https://t.co/9jMFsuOP5C Patreon:

Some examples of what the theming settings that are coming in GodSVG's alpha 11 (soon!) can do. Please give me your feedback!

I've been working on small improvements and polish for the 11th alpha of GodSVG, my free and open source SVG editor. It's going to be a big release. You can now easily open files and folders in the file manager from the custom built-in file dialog. #OpenSource #GodotEngine
